Fodor's Expert Review Inn on the Commons

This recently revamped and rebranded (formerly a Red Lion) mid-price hotel is within walking distance of downtown Medford's restaurants and shops. Rooms and suites are furnished in attractive pear-green and plum color schemes, with microwaves, refrigerators, Gilchrist & Soames bath products, and patios or Jacuzzi tubs. Some rooms overlook leafy Hawthorne Park and the Rogue River (albeit beneath a freeway overpass).
