(Apparently the kind of folks who make a pilgrimage to the Shakespeare Festival really appreciate the non-generic, quirky features of a B&B. I don't usually mention B&Bs, but they're a surprisingly important component of Ashland's lodging stock. Be aware that as of the beginning of 2018 although the hostel's Web site was still up, the real estate agent's page lists the property as "sold." The closest motel to the south of downtown - which is also said to be one of the nicest in town - is the Palm (1065 Siskiyou Blvd.
I haven't heard direct reports from hikers who have stayed there. You might get a good rate if it's a weekday.ĭon't expect to stay downtown near the Shakespeare Festival unless you're in the Ashland Hostel Timbers Motel (1475 Siskiyou Blvd., 541 482-4242) an older no-frills operation that has a pool my kid seems to favor. My default choice in Ashland for many years has been the If you maxed out a room with four hikers, it'd go from cheap to ridiculously cheap. For those who are really suffering the sticker shock that is endemic to Ashland, the Knights Inn and the Super 8 may be the bottom-dollar choices on the south end of town. They'll handle resupply boxes (believe me you don't want to walk to the post office from there) and they are said to have a generous PCT rate.
It looks to have all the charm of a Motel 6, but it could save you enough to splurge on a nice dinner. If you are looking for relatively affordable but non-sketchy lodging on the south end of the city, several sources have mentioned Rodeway Inn (2359 Ashland St., 541 482-5111). There are no motel deals in Ashland in the summer. From the budget motels hard by the southern end of town it's a long walk downtown, where most of the restaurant choices are.Īll told, there are approximately 50 motels in Ashland, which is a lot to process. But that's several miles of Siskiyou Boulevard. Just about everything you care about is either on Siskiyou Boulevard or one block off it. Public transit flat-out blows to the point of being virtually unusable. If you're operating on foot, you're not going to be charmed with the layout here. There are enough prepared food choices that you could treat Market of Choice as a breakfast, lunch or dinner option. MOC is essentially a small regional version of Whole Foods. There is a standard Safeway, but the grocery store you really want is Market of Choice (1475 Siskiyou Blvd., 541 488-2773). You really need a supermarket at this juncture. There's one reason Ashland is a near-mandatory stop: Your last full-service city was back at Mt.

So Ashland is an urban mashup - tourist scene plus performing arts draw plus college town with a helping of vaguely New Age-y vibes on the side.

(which is a huge economic driver for the city). It's an international arts destination thanks to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival It's a major layover and resupply depot for long-distance traffic on Interstate 5. Today all that remains of that era is the decaying hangar-like structure of the Helman Baths, which looms over Helman School in the north part of town.Īshland, which is a major metropolis by PCT standards, has three distinct identities.
