Beyond that, Marc & Terry made us feel so welcome! They are knowledgeable, helpful, great cooks. The homemade biscuits and jelly are WOW. They are so organized that it seems like they are hardly doing anything! We could not have enjoyed our stay more. We also enjoyed hiking on the rogue River Trail to the fantastic views of Mule Creek Canyon, and it is also a short hike to the historic Rogue River Ranch.

I don't blame them as Mariel Lodge is a truly magical spot run by the most lovely and kind people I've encountered in a long time! My partner and I stopped there at the end of our backpacking trip. My partner had injured his knee and we had to stop our trip early. The Lodge didn't have availability but Rob kindly let us camp on the property right next to the river! The food was incredible and the views breathtaking. We can't wait to find another time to return.

I saw the many rave reviews and decided that this must be "the place". I'm going to be as objective…read moreas possible while setting the record straight- the staff were all good, and offering breakfast, appetizers and cookies/fire/s'mores in the evening was a really nice touch. As others have mentioned, the breakfast wasn't great, but we were travelling with little kids so having something to get the day started is really important (A for effort, C- for execution). They had a decent selection of beer and wine to order in the evenings (at reasonable prices for a hotel). The grounds were pretty nice. Things fall short of expectations when you get to the accommodations and location. Our cabin felt old and dilapidated, not "historic" in the sense of the Ahwahnee Lodge (Yosemite) or Lake MacDonald Lodge (Glacier). You walk in to a slightly damp environment that smells a bit like septic mixed with old camp fire. The couch, and carpet were pretty gross. Beds were mediocre, and although the sheets looked clean, the setup wasn't exactly confidence inspiring. Rooms are not cleaned daily, and since we have little people in diapers, we opted to just put the trash can outside. Perhaps the worst part was that we were put into the AFrame cabin with no possibility to change rooms (that's not what I booked). There's a steep ladder that leads to the second bed upstairs. This arrangement is not realistic or safe with toddlers. Overall, everything was just, kinda... shabby. "Historic" in the context of the Weasku is a euphemism for "run-down". As for location, if you think you're going to be right on the Rogue, you'd be mistaken. There's an irrigation ditch that runs directly behind the cabins, fed by a pump house about 100 yards away. If you do walk down to the river, be careful because this section is very dangerous/inhospitable. The river is really swift there, so it's not good for fishing (yes, no fishing spots there!), not good for kids, no beach stuff... but plenty of spiked berry brambles and poison oak if that's your thing. Road noise is constant and detracts from the vibe of peaceful seclusion. Interstate 5 is hidden by trees just on the other side of the river, so you'll hear that all night long. As for Grants Pass, unless you've got a reason to be there, you'd be better off somewhere like Ashland. The Weasku served our needs, and we all escaped without bedbugs or scabies. Would I stay again? Not if you paid me. Rating reflects great staff and nice grounds, with negative stars for accommodations.

I saw some very positive reviews for The Weasku Inn on the Rogue River, so I booked it. I am SO glad I did! The lodge is nostalgic of days gone by, built in 1924-- so quaint and lovely. On arrival, a warm staff met us and we checked in to a picturesque cabin facing the river. Perfect! King sized SUPER comfy bed stacked high with lovely quilts. The cabin featured a lovely mountain-style, working rock fireplace with a comfy couch facing the fireplace, looking out onto the trees with the river beyond. The cabin had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The Weasku offers "appetizers" in the evening--which really is more like a meal. If you are still hungry after the appetizer hours, which we were not, restaurants for dinner are just a quick 5 minute drive away. There is a bar available to purchase wines, beer and ciders, if you wish, available all day long with complementary coffees and teas, as well. And the FULL breakfast is SO well done; not like those plastic, poorly done "breakfasts" served at many places--THIS is a proper, complete breakfast meal. There is a fire pit for evenings and complementary "s'more"kits are available for toasting on the fire. The Weasku staff were so warm and friendly and all seemed to be pleased to see us! We will most certainly return to this lovely spot. If what you want is a respite from the crazy, a quiet cozy place to relax and comfortable accommodations, you will love The Weasku. Amenities worth mentioning: Cabin includes: *TV *Hair dryer *Complimentary Wi-fi *Charging station for

Not really an obnoxious traffic noise. The rest of the stay .....meh. Check in was fine, efficient and courteous. The desk clerk didn't go out of his way to make us feel welcome or anything, but that's ok given the age we live in. Noone goes oit of their way to be friendly anymore. One of the room keys didnt work when we got to the room, but that wasn't an issue really, since the second key worked fine. Upon entering the room, we were immediately met with a strong "mopped floor with dirty wet mop" smell. You know the smell i mean. The pillows (or maybe the sheets?) also smelled ....uncleaned. Not fresh at all. On our return home from a long day in the sun, neither of the room keys worked. We were also locked out of using the door to the elevator so we had to schlep our weary bodies around the length of the hotel parking lot to the front desk where we were greeted with a " I'll be right back sign" at the front desk. Yup. We had to wait in the non air conditioned lobby for the front desk person to get back. It was the icing on the cake of a bad experience. When we returned to our room, my husband racked his elbow on an obtrusively placed cabinet causing a bloody bruise to swell up. The cabinet placed, mind you, not at the center of the wall between two beds to allow safe passage into the room, but on the foot of one bed, in the entranceway. Picture below. This property has been our favorite for years. They recently changed ownership. The staff walks around like zombies and never crack a smile. If they dont want to be there, then why should we come back? Especially now that the property has had a blood sacrifice. Such a shame. Because I'd do almost anything just for the view.

With the stunning Rogue River flowing right through the backyard, sitting on the patio was an absolute delight. Lora Jean was welcoming and knowledgeable, we found ourselves popping into the lobby more than once just to chat with her. A few highlights: - EV charger on site (always a win) - Quiet room (Tuesday night in June) and not to mention, clean. - Sink is located outside of the bathroom (huge plus), so you're not waiting for someone to finish a shower to brush your teeth or wash your face! - Warm, friendly morning staff. One legitimately reminded me of a sweet aunt of mine -Included breakfast was surprisingly great: scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy (damn you, Keto), waffles, toast, bagels, cereal, fruit, oatmeal... and excellent coffee - Check in and check out were effortless - Excellent pricing (granted, Tuesday in June with no events happening in town) This place completely exceeded expectations.

Competitive rates for 2 queen beds w/ a balcony river view (under $150 on a Monday in September) relative to other hotels in the area. No mosquitoes that I noticed either! Pets can stay here too. Would definitely stay here again!

There's not much around Wolf Creek (unless you go 20 miles south to Grant Pass) so this IS the best food around. Again, staff were great and the accommodations were comfortable.

I enjoyed the history of the Inn, the fact that there are no televisions, the patio and balcony for guest night t to mention the games and puzzles and tables in the room where I could work on my travel art journal. Peaceful, tranquil, and in a hey setting, the Wolf Creek Inn is a place I would come back to. The restaurant/tavern is good and we ate all of our meals here. The wedge salad, Cuban sandwich and the biscuit breakfast sandwich with sausage were our favorites. Everyone is incredibly accommodating and nice who works there and we even got to chat with several of the other guests because it is a small and intimate place. When my husband and I ordered a mixed drink not on the menu, Nancy was happy to mix it up for us. When we asked for recommendations for places to walk, we got some amazingly beautiful walks within the area. If I'm ever back here, I would be overjoyed to stay again!

The rooms are clean and spacious. My only problem is with one particular housekeeper. Yesinia. I asked for a few extra towels and she took an attitude. She was very rude. She took an annoyed tone and rolled her eyes. Like I was asking for a liver transplant. She has no manners whatsoever. I had to ask another housekeeper her name because they don't wear name tags. Melissa on the other hand is always smiling and willing to do whatever she can to make the guests feel happy and comfortable. She's always ready to help. Thank you Melissa for being a good person.

For the price, amenities, security, and convenience- THIS place is the best one in Grants Pass. They have military discounts, and belong to the Sonesta company so you can earn points, but don't require a downloaded app- only a log-in on their website. Both times I've stayed there, the front desk staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Check-in was a breeze. Their off-street parking lot is spacious and well lit. Front desk area is separated by the pool area from the rooms. Video monitoring at all times throughout the hotel. Room key required to badge into the building. The entire hotel smells like bleach/cleaning supplies- which I don't mind but may bother some people. Rooms are clean and furniture is modern. The beds are comfortable, and pillows are fluffy. Hot water temperature is perfect, and water pressure is wonderful. The extra amenities that I enjoyed at the hotel are: a handful of red bicycles that can be used by customers. My family and I used them to ride to a bike park the first time we stayed there. Red Lion Inn also has complimentary passes to a gym in Grants Pass. The gym has everything imaginable from swimming pool to sauna to workout classes to child care, to safe Gymboree-type area for kids to play. Red Lion Inn also has its own pool, but I have never had a chance to use it. This hotel also has breakfast included at the main office building. They have fairly standard breakfast options: coffee, juice, bananas, apples, yogurt, muffins... more fresh options would be nice, but during my last stay, the breakfast served its purpose. I will continue to stay here for my future visits to Grants Pass.
