What guests think

At The City Center Motel, guests highlight strong value and a central, walkable downtown Medford location, making it a practical base for short stays, road trips, and exploring the Rogue Valley’s attractions.

Rooms are newly updated with colorful decor and thoughtful touches; many are compact, and several guests note traffic noise or loud HVAC/fans, plus occasional complaints about small TVs or limited channel selection. Service is widely described as friendly and efficient, though limited check-in hours and a 10 pm cutoff generate reminders and can inconvenience late arrivals. Cleanliness is praised across numerous stays, but a few reviews cite serious issues such as bed bugs and sporadic housekeeping or maintenance problems. Expect a tidy, budget-friendly stay with limited amenities that suits practical travelers more than amenity seekers or light sleepers.

This is a good pace to stay if you want to walk around town. Maybe the best place for closeness. It is a motel so you get motel amenities which is basically none. No pool, no ice machine, no nothing, but the rooms are clean, its one block from downtown and the owners seem nice and friendly. It is family run. Support their business.

I happen to like the 1950s style, single story motor lodge motels where you can park right in front of your room. This motel may be old, but it's been refurbished so it was clean, modern and comfortable. I just needed a room for a quick night's sleep at a reasonable price. This hotel checked all those boxes.

This older motel has been a part of Medford for a long time. Check-in was easy, though there were limited check-in times. The location might make you think twice, but overall, it felt safe. My experience with housekeeping was inconsistent. The room wasn’t cleaned on my first night, and I had to request fresh towels. They explained this was due to a fire behind the building, which was understandable. The next two nights, I received fresh towels and trash removal but no full cleaning. However, the room was cleaned thoroughly on my final night—almost overly so. The motel has the potential to be a charming boutique stay with some improvements. That said, the price is excellent compared to other nicer motels in the area.

Very good value. The rooms have everything you need and nothing you don’t need. The only issue you should be warned about is the road noise. The rooms are maybe 15-20 feet from a very loud and busy street.

It's true "You can't judge a book by its cover." The first impression of the hotel was average. But, once you enter the room your perspective changes. Very clean, nicely decorated, with a modern, minimalist vibe. Will stay here again.

Nice comfortable room and good security on the doors. One recommendation is to have some blackout curtains because even with the shutters shut, the outside light came in and it was fairly bright in the motel room. My other recommendation is that the heating unit installed is really noisy so whenever it kicked on it would wake me back up, installing a quieter system would be more beneficial. The staff were nice and friendly and the room was super clean and had kind of a 1980s color block vibrant vibe which was really fun. I like how they spruced up this old motel to make it a lot more interesting and modernized.

Very nice layout and met our family's needs. The photos realistically represent the room. FYI: not very teen or kid friendly. My son met my mom at her car to get his earbuds and his sister locked him out goofing around. He yelled her name and knocked on the door. The person on duty came up to us very rapidly and rudely yelling. It was clear to see that we were a family with kids and threatened to kick us out in the middle of the night (10:15pm). He acted as if my mom and son just committed a felony in the parking lot and said if she comes back here he's kicking us out even though the room was for 6 people. Im pretty sure he was on some liquid courage because him being 5 ft tall and yelling at a person a foot taller (my son) must have been on something. Other than that, the room was very nice and the location is close to downtown.

This was a very clean and up-to-date motel room at a great price . The room was compact but comfortable. My only negative would be the fact that you have to wait until 4pm to check in…that was a bit inconvenient for us but we made it work.

Overall great, would stay again if in area. Reasonable rate, room small but clean, towels & sheets good quality/had a nice feel to them, which was much appreciated (actual pillows a bit too thick for my preference) but nice pillow case made up for that. Only concern was if running late no check in after 10PM.

I haven’t been to Medford in a while. Coming in I saw all the homeless, loud cars, people ‘hanging’. I wasn’t scared but felt uncomfortable by myself. I’m glad I didn’t go anywhere! The A/C was loud and only cool. I really don’t like loud fans in the bathroom when you turn on the light. The room itself was clean, I was happy for hard floors and no carpet. I guess I’m not a good picker of motels!

We stayed in room 204 for four nights. The hotel is clearly older though very well-maintained -- will stay again. Room was recently renovated, decent size for our bags (a couple) plus storage for wine bought in the area. Central location for the Rogue Valley, downtown Medford, I-5, and easy access to Hwy 62 for Crater Lake. Great breakfast place on the street behind it (Buttercloud), good brewery less than 10 minutes away on foot (Common Block).

Great value. The room looks like it has been recently remodeled. It is not luxurious but clean. But this is great for being motel. Everything included, I paid less than $100 a night. It is in the historical downtown area, great location. I just stayed one night so I did not take advantage of the location.
