The only thing this property has going for it is that it’s close to Crater Lake! It’s a historic former boarding house that has seen better days.Its right next to a busy highway so it’s noisy. Check in was quick, bed was fine, but the only blankets were non-washable decorative covers over just a sheet. The bathroom sink /counter had been updated and a linoleum floor installed . The bedroom wood floor may have been pro but it really creaked walking on it. The room had a working TV with Satellite channels, a working refrigerator and a small microwave. The building was in the process of being painted, so all exterior benches were covered with scraping/sanding dust, as well as the balcony outside our upper level rooms. We walked across the highway to a pretty good restaurant for dinner, and stopped on our way back to the hotel at a little market that seemed to have everything for ice cream. We would have loved to sit outside and enjoy it but for the condition of all the outside benches. We didn’t use the air conditioner that was directly above the bed or the small wall heater that next to the other side of the bed. There was a lighted ceiling fan mid-room with pull cords for light or fan that had a wall switch near the door to the room.

For the price, it felt like it could have been better. Maybe the location of this property being conveniently close to Crater Lake dictates the price. That said, the exterior looked rather unappealing and even a little unsafe. Still, once we got to our room, it turned out to be comfortable and cozy overall.

The Dawson is an older property that is fairly well maintained. The bed was comfortable, the room clean. Chemult was close to our destination, Crater Lake. The locals told us the place was haunted, but we didn't see any spirits!

I stayed at the Dawson about 15 years ago and loved this charming old guest house. This time, I found mold in the shower and mold on the floor near the shower, flimsy towel bar with paint cracking and falling out of the wall. Not even one hook to hang anything. Looks like it's being painted mint green... Not the color you would expect to find on a western Lodge.

The room was very basic. Not a lot of room. Linen and towels were clean, but the room itself needed a good cleaning and some TLC. The room we had was next to the road and there cars and trucks that went by all night.

Nothing but noisy. Tractor-trailer trucks rumbling by your window, literally 10-15 ft. away All night. You will not sleep. You'll still be 50 minutes to Crater Lake. Wait until you can get a cabin at Crater Lake instead.

AC window unit prevents the window from being locked/room was not secure. AC unit filter was very dirty/had to wash it out in the tub. The mattress was hard as a rock and so were the pillows. However, would return to thus hotel if mattresses were improved but maybe not this room due to security issue.

The room didn’t exactly match the pictures, was very small. Work was being done outside of the room on porch & it was very noisy. TV was difficult to figure out & couldn’t control the volume to turn it done. There were what seemed to be fruit flies in the sink in the bathroom. Bed was good.
