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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
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.

It was OK, but the room was small, and being right on the highway, it was noisy.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We had a good time. The room was accommodating and clean. It was a bit difficult to keep the curtain closed that led out to the back of the property
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 had one of the worst beds I have ever slept on and I was in the Navy. It was an old mattress with squeaking springs. The room was clean but very dated.

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.
