Crater Lake is the most beautiful lake we ever seen. It worth to go there no matter what. We stayed at Crater Lake Lodge for 4 nights in July. This is the only hotel they have on the Lake.
I would say hotel is overpriced. We had very small room with no closet or space were you can put your clothes. In the middle of the night they turn on heater and there is no way to call to the front desk because they don't have phones in the room.
But is all about the Lake, it is really spectacular. Deck overlooking the lake with rocking chairs is a fantastic place relax and enjoy the lake.

If you are planning to visit Crater Lake in southern Oregon, make a reservation at this lodge. In fact, plan your trip around the dates for which you can book this lodge! It can be tough to get a reservation here, even in the low season! Because once you arrive at the crater rim and see the views that the Lodge provides in many of it's guest rooms, it's dining room and veranda, you will regret not being able to stay here and view the lake through the changing light of day, dusk, night and dawn.
We enjoyed dinner and lunch in the dining room, where the food was excellent and the service attentive. We also liked having the gift shop and snack bar a short walk away along the rim. It made for an easy morning walk for breakfast with a spectacular view.
The rooms were comfortable with just enough of a hint of history in furnishing styles to suggest the ancestry of the building, without it ever feeling that we were in too rustic of a hotel. The Lodge was a real highlight of our road trip.

Stunningly rude service, very poor quality food, how is it possible to get steak so badly wrong? Ended up with getting food poisoning. They never even bothered to respond to my numerous complaints. Our recommendation - avoid the place.

We stayed at Crater Lake Lodge for 2 nights, Oct. 12 and 13. This lodge is awesome, the great rooms and dining room, outside verandas beautiful. Our weather was superb so we could hike during the day and have great views of the lake and surrounding mountains. We ate breakfast and dinner at the Lodge and the food was good. My duck was a little tough on the first night, but breakfast both mornings was excellent and we really liked the ambience. Our regret was that our room was small and the bed awful, lumpy and bouncy. We had a lake view but in retrospect wish we'd gone with 2 beds and more space. The Lodge was clean and the staff superb. Everybody was helpful and nice, and we met some charming people on hikes and at the hotel.
