A great place to stay in Klamath Falls
If you find yourself staying in Klamath Falls — a city with not a lot else to recommend it, except for the incredible high desert countryside that surrounds it — check out the Best Western Olympic Inn, which sits at the corner of Washburn Way and South Sixth Street.
Though it’s unremarkable on the outside, and located in a hellishly ugly fast-food suburb (across the street is Burger King and Office Depot), you’ll be pleasantly shocked when you enter the pine-paneled lobby, which is chock full of hunting and fishing lodge taxidermy: a wolf, a mountain goat, a black bear, even a cougar. Overstuffed leather chairs and sofas make this a place to linger and read a magazine.
Better yet: The free breakfast (6 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the lobby) includes biscuits and gravy.
Best of all: Every night at 8 p.m. the staff serves milk and cookies in the lobby. Not just cookies but fresh-baked cookies, whose aroma fills the building, tempting even the abstemious.
All rooms are non-smoking.
A little spendy at $150 a night for a room with two queens, but entirely worth it for the atmosphere.
