Ashland Carter House — Hotel in Ashland

We just got back from Ashland and had a great time. We had a great experience with the B&B we stayed at so i wanted to share my experience. The B&B was nice and the location was great (very close to town) but the thing that we really appreciated was how nice the owners were to my daughter who is 6 (there were other people with kids there too so i think it is not unusual for them to have families). One of the owners spent a bit of time showing my daughter their music box collection and they let her play with some of the toys they had on display. The room we had (the calico room) was big enough for 4 of us (there was a small room off of the larger room so that made it perfect for my family of three plus another relative). We saved a lot by not having to get two rooms. And they had a breakfast basket instead of a sit down breakfast which worked out great for us (we could eat whenever and save some for snacks during the day - also my daughter didn't have to sit down for yet another formal meal). They also have a refrig in the room so it made it easy to save left overs since my daughter doesn't seem to eat when we do and then gets hungry in between meals. All these things definitely made the vacation...

We made our reservations at the Ashland, OR Royal Carter House months ago and have been anticipating 3 mornings of waking up to this Inn's version of a wonderful home made breakfast as one can expect from a B&B. We selected this particular B&B because it is in walking distance to the Shakespeare Festival, and has a swimming pool to while away the hot days (as we digest the lovely breakfast). As it happens, the pool has not been cared for for apparently many a year, and there is no cooked breakfast. We were informed that a basket of cold processed food, as one can buy for themselves in any grocery store is delivered to the room the prior evening. If the rooms were very inexpensive, I suppose this would only be a great disappointment. The rooms are not inexpensive. We are paying $169.00/night for a dirty pool and packaged foods. Unless you don't care for the true B&B experience, I would not recommend staying here.......... there are so many great B&B's to choose from - in our opinion this is not one of them! Huge disappointment and rip-off! Read the fine print carefully as you shop for a place to stay. We checked the website and if website does list "breakfast basket" food items. Be aware that is...
