Aspen Inn Motel

Do not recommend. The rate was very high for what you get 141.00 $ for the «Family Suite» which had 2 queen beds, and a pull out couch… BUT there is a fee to use the pull out couch in the room… A FEE?!? To use an old pull out couch… Weird! There’s also a cancellation fee that you’ll pay if THEY make the incorrect reservation. So if you say 2 days checking out Sunday and they took it as Monday because the other rooms in your party (yes a wedding party that booked most of the hotel $$) you will pay another FEE for their mistake. I tried to look at the positives, there’s room for kids to play outside and they gave them some bubbles… But the FEE’s for everything is a bit much. There’s a small TV with a VHS in that room, but in the other rooms there are 80’s TV’s that don’t work. I didn’t see any AC units & The décor is very country yard sale/​outdated hospital room. For $ 141.00 I would expect TV’s, cooled rooms, to use any of the beds in the room without a charge and a breakfast as there isn’t anything in town to eat. Better off staying in KFalls, Lake of the Woods… And just make the easy drive.

Although it was a decent place to stay, they lacked a good breakfast, as well as having good cable tv channels to watch. It could be improved a bit better, but the location from Crater lake makes this a decent place to stay.

Great value. Clean rooms and very friendly staff. The walls are really thin and our neighbors kept us up for a while. Also, the beds were a bit uncomfortable but since we only spent one night on our way to the coast, we were satisfied with our experience.

We stumbled upon The Aspen Inn on our way to Mt. Hood for our mini honeymoon. From the moment I called about availability Heidi was so incredibly kind and helpful. She gave us excellent directions from Weed and excellent suggestions on places to eat in Klamath Falls. When we arrived she was so friendly we felt right at home. The Aspen Inn is a pet friendly motel and our two large dogs got a welcome care package to make their stay more comfortable. Heidi also brought us out a bottle of sparkling cider on ice and two champagne flutes to toast our first night away as husband and wife. The rooms are tidy and welcoming. We will def come back!!!

Clean, comfortable, very reasonable rate. Hot coffee in the morning and a nice setup of picnic tables in the front lawn for a few beers outside at night. Very close to Crater Lake and a real bargain. Plus they gave us no hassles about a refund for one night we reserved but ended up canceling. Thanks, Heidi!

Loved this place. Four of us stayed in the Wagon House. Very clean and spacious. Good size rooms, good size clean bathroom, fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. Great living room with a pool table. Was a great place for our group to gather in the evenings. Inn has a little park picnic area and fire pit area. Dog friendly. One of the owners, Heidi, was great and welcoming. We had a group stay there and everyone liked there rooms. Couldn’t say enough about this place. Prices very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Can’t say enough about this place or the great people running it. They made us feel like we where staying with family. The family you actually like that is. :-) Would plan a trip around this Inn for sure. Very clean and well furnished room. Our group took up one of each style room they have. We stayed in the Wagon house which truly is a house. That’s where everyone ended up hanging out. So in reviewing. 5 stars for the Inn. 10 stars for the ladies running it. And five stars for the beautiful area it’s located. LOVE this place.

Not much there. Manager is not so friendly. They are really strict on the numbers of people in the room. Only a small general store around that area. Bring your food and drinks before getting there. TV only has one channel. If you are only looking for a place to stay and nothing else, then this is it.
Room have gnats flying all around the lights. Heater is loud. Room could get hot so they added 4 – 5 vornado room fan on the floor.

Very clean, but extremely outdated. Television was very old style and only showed one channel. Rooms were outdated. Heater was extremely loud and kept us up all night. Was suitable for an area with no other choices.

Stayed in one of the A Frame Cabins and was pleasantly surprised. The pictures on their website are quite representative of the space; it’s small but quaint and cozy. We found everything nice and clean and the staff was very friendly. There is no AC but the fans inside do a decent job at keeping the interior cool (and it ended up being chilly at night anyways.) The free wifi and fridge/​microwave are huge pluses as well.
Location-​wise, it’s not ideal but it’s the best place to stay if you failed to book the crater lake lodges earlier, like we did. (Oops!!!) Though there are no restaurants in Fort Klamath, there is a general store nearby, as well as complimentary coffee and tea from the inn’s office — much needed in the cold mornings :)

Heidi the inn manager is very accommodating and friendly. They allowed our dog to stay with us in the room. We stayed in the A Frame cabin and it was very clean and had the basic amenities that we needed. Free coffee was always ready in the morning. I can’t say enough about how beautiful Oregon is and that the Aspen Inn was a great place to stay as a starting point to venture out from.

We stayed in the A-​frame lodges for our two night visit. Everything was booked and way overpriced inside of Crater Lake Nat’l Park. So Aspen Inn it was. So glad we stayed here. Upon arrival we met Heidi and she as awesome. Gave us great details about visiting Crater Lake and was so welcoming.
Recommend the A-​frame, especially if you have kids and live in a 1-​story home. Junior loved having his own upstairs digs to himself. It can get a little warm in the day; but if you are out adventuring it isn’t an issue. When you get back, open the front door and windows and the cabin cools nicely.
Room has a TV that catches 1-​channel (NBC affiliate). Junior was amazed with the TV circa 1970s.
Would recommend bringing your own shampoo, the little packets of shampoo provided wont do (at first glance, I was wondering why there’s honey in the bathroom).
A great place to stay if visiting Crater Lake. It’s only a 30 minute drive to the park.
Wonderful.

The 3 stars is a generous review considering I was much more comfortable backpacking on the PCT than overpaying for a room with no air conditioning on a hot day. The hospitality of our hosts made up for a lot but I hope this motivates them to improve. Trying to nap in the heat was nearly impossible and the proprietor’s response was «we don’t recommend people stay in their rooms during the day when it’s hot».
As an airline pilot, I’ve traveled the world and experienced thousands of hotels and motels; I’ve never seen such positive energy from the hosts with such a minimal product. They keep it clean but it’s small and uncomfortable. Hot in the summer and per other reviews: cold in the winter. The shower is a tiny space and there is no tub. The soap and shampoo amenity are bare basics (think Motel 6 or Knights Inn). So many things could improve their product and I write this to them as well as the consumer. As a customer you will over pay for an inferior product. To the owners, your skills and charm could be put to much better use than candy coating a worm (lipstick on a pig?)… Sorry but my intent is to help, not judge.

We were planning a three day visit to the Crater Lake National Park and while searching for motels on line, I stumbled into Aspen Inn. I looked at their website, I liked what I saw, but needed more information. So I went to their Facebook page and send them a message with a couple of questions, within 48 hours I received a message back from Heidi with all the answers I needed. When time came, I called and made reservation on the phone (I had another question or two about the area logistics). Again, Heidi was most helpful.
When we arrived there Shannon was at the desk. She was very welcoming and helpful in getting us oriented. She even pulled out a map and marked all the places of interest for us. That turned out to be very helpful information.
We got a regular motel room, it was spacey, clean, and with all the basics (Refrigerator, microwave oven, and TV). Considering the fact that they allow pets in their rooms, I was very impressed with the cleanliness.
The motel is almost in the middle of nowhere, so although there is a deli nearby, you should take at least some basic food with you, we did a bit more than that and it was good that we did. They serve good complementary coffee in the morning, so don’t worry if you forget coffee, it is only a short walk away :-)
Heidi and Shannon get As for everything I mentioned above, and Obie, their adorable dog, gets an A+ for not just wagging but spinning his tail every time we went to say hi to him :-)

This review is for the motel portion of the inn, not the «A» frames which we did not stay in.
Pros:
–Heidi the manager was one of the most helpful, friendly, and resourceful hospitality people I’ve ever met
–Likely the closest inn outside the park boundaries
–Clean and recently renovated
–Despite the weather being 85 °F in the day, indoors was a welcoming 70−75F
–Price is reasonable ~$ 80/​night
–Fridge, microwave, and heater in room
–pet friendly
-«Family Fun Center» right outside!
«real» Cons:
–Hard/​stiff bed
–Still a 30 minute drive to Crater Lake itself
«nitpicky» Cons:
–Weak water pressure in shower
–1 channel on TV which cut out frequently
–Poor internet connection
The minor cons are things we didn’t consider to be issues but know some of our more urban friends would need to survive a day in the rural parts of the world. Overall would stay here again if in the area.
Thanks again Heidi and Obie!

Lovely place! Spotless and well-​equipped with everything you need. We are on a road trip with our 2 almost-​grown daughters and stayed in one of the A-​frames. It worked perfectly for us. The hosts are happy and helpful. The setting is lovely, their lot is set up with swings and tables/​chairs for relaxing in the peace and quiet. Would stay here again no question.

This place has all the basic necessities, and probably the best service. Seemed like a family-​owned business willing to go the extra mile to accommodate. Rooms were slightly older, but bed sheets and restroom were very clean.

PROS:
+ Pet-​friendly
+ Near Crater Lake National Park (about 25 miles away)
+ Charming A-​frame cottages
+ Reasonable price ($ 85 per night)
+ Mini-​fridge and microwave in room
CONS:
— Anemic WiFi
— Lack of dining options nearby
— Cramped shower
— Lack of cable TV (only one channel available)

(Wow — I don’t understand the reviews here that say «great place» and then only rate it 3 stars!)
Charming place, no frills (but super reasonable rates!) and a beautiful setting. Heidi (the owner) is absolutely wonderful, friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful, steering us to some great food and hiking trails.
If you’re looking for the Four Seasons, then yeah this ain’t the place. But the Four Seasons will cost you 10 times as much, so there’s that. Aspen Inn is clean, quiet, and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for more!
And probably the best (and strongest) coffee we had on our whole vacation! :-)

Nicely maintained, clean, and friendly lodging.
Clear directions on their website, and also good signs to the Motel.
The motel offers two room styles. One motel style room, and another A-​frame Independence unit. The A-​frame independent unit is cosy with an upstairs attic type bedroom with two beds, and a downstairs bedroom with a tv from the 90s, a small fridge, an interesting micro-​oven, and one bathroom.
The motel is about 40 minutes from the entrance to Crater Lake, and is close to a grocery story and café (closed on Sundays).
A nearby diner is also pretty decent, Melitas (39 500 Hwy 97 N.
Chiloquin, OR 97 624).
