Bug City! The whole "resort" was swarming with "midges" and that's no exaggeration, see the pic. This place has potential (lake, mountain views), but is let down by dirty rooms, stained sheets, tattered furniture and a general lack of caring from the staff. "It is what it is" seems to be the attitude. I reported that my toilet was leaking at the base, that's just gross, and was not repaired. The lake smells funky in the "marina" with lots of algae growth. We were not able to spend anytime outside due to the bugs and general funk. We did have breakfast one morning which was okay, though the OJ was not great. We had pizza that the pizza shop about 1 mile away, it tastes similar to Pizza Hut, not my favorite but that may be good for others, though I suggest you get carryout as the seating area is run down and smells a bit musty. We thought staying here for 2 nights would be tolerable while we visited Crater Lake, it was not! I would not stay here again even if it was free.

We stayed in one of the motel rooms near the lodge. It was neat and tidy and had everything that we needed. Our bed was super comfy! It’s a close walk to the lake. We saw a beautiful sunset! We will definitely stay here again. Nice stay and beautiful scenery!

I was worried about staying at the Diamond Lake Motel after reading other reviews, but I had a great experience there. One of the nicer motels I've stayed at for work, and in such a beautiful location. I stayed in room A17 (rooms A11+ are on the second floor, no stairs required due to a back access road). The room was spotless, with a gorgeous natural wood ceiling. My room had a queen and full mattress, and was very comfortable with clean linens. The bathroom was also super clean, and I loved the retro tiled shower. There is a small table, 2 chairs, TV, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, and a small amount of space to hang clothing. There is a window air conditioner and a heater. I personally thing it is well priced for the location, and more updated that I was expecting- the photos on their website show older pictures. Pros: very clean, comfortable, amazing location, can park next to your room, fluffy towels, nice staff, resort restaurant for food, lake access Cons: loud trucks in the resort parking lot, motel looks out onto parking lot (motel B/studios are closer to the lake and might have better views?) My suggestions for the resort: add a dresser and some photo art of Diamond Lake on the walls. Replace the dated under-the-bathroom-mirror shelf. Replace the pillows with larger ones. Thanks for a great stay! I would come back again.

Absolutely horrible! Where is the Board of Health? Room was dirty, bedspreads filthy, and sheets were gray/yellow. No refund even though ash was falling on our windshield and we couldn’t breathe. Don’t stay here, you may leave with bugs you don’t want!!

We had planned to stay here, but wildfires and smoke caused us to reroute at last minute. Sadly, Resort would not issue full or partial refund even more than 24 hours in advance. Fire and smoke are beyond our control. Had to book direct, so no trip protection. 😕
