Easy to see, a challenge to get to... still a great place to stay

As others have written, the "Lodge Access Road" is not obvious to the first timer. My advice is to get on Biddle Road either north or just south of the hotel.
From I-5 (north or south bound) get off at exit 30 and head East. You'll see a sign that says "Biddle Road/Airport". Get onto this access road. The Northbound exit will merge with the US-62 East offramp. Take a right at the light and go UNDER US-62. The "Lodge Access Road" will be immediately to your right.
If you're West bound on US-62 (returning from Crater Lake NP), take the "Biddle Road/Airport" offramp. You'll end up at a light. Take a left then take a left again into the "Lodge Access Road". If you go under US-62 you went too far and will need to turn around.
Upon a late Check In the Hotel Clerk was friendly and very courteous. The double bedded room was big and spacious. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and bigger than I would have expected. Breakfast is the same across all, if not most, of the Comfort Inns which includes make-your-own waffles, dry cereals, muffins, breads for toasting, limited Danishes, and Oatmeal to name some items.
One reason I chose this Comfort Inn is that I read in another review that the other Comfort Inn down the highway does not provide a fridge or microwave. I did not verify the other review. Another reason is that this hotel has relatively easy access to US-62 (Crater Lake Hwy) and I-5.
Closest restaurants and shopping are just due west of the I-5/US-62 intersection. There is a major dept store south (and across) of this Comfort Inn. Other shopping areas are located on US-62 east of this hotel.
If I were to visit Medford again, I would most probably stay here mainly for the easy access to the 2 main highways.

This hotel seemed to fit the bill for my Holiday travels. It was in a great location close to the interstate and town itself and provided us with a great room.
The asian lady who checked us in at night was VERY unfriendly, however, when all was said and done and we got to the room, we were more then delighted. Spacious bathrooms, tall ceilings, very clean room, everything you could ask for out of a comfort inn.
The breakfast in the morning was kind of a drag because it was the same thing each day of our stay. They didn't switch it up like they do in some of the other Comfort Inns.
During my second day, I got the pleasure to meet the General manager who came out to the breakfast room to talk to the guests and get a feel for how our stays have been.
She was SOOO nice. She told us how they were planning on having some renovation done soon to expand the breakfast rooms and add some suites? Also, she mentioned something about a new entrance to the property. I would ask her before coming that way you dont run into any noise problems.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. It's not a Hilton or Marriott, but it was just right and some for the price.

Others have brought up how it's difficult to get to. That's the least of it. In a few years, I'm sure this place will be a family joke!
It took my 3yo about 5 seconds to find a sharp screw coming out of the wall, which he presented to me.
There is no guest laundry. The front desk staff can't tell you where a laundromat is (and think you're weird for needing to go). The room door was so heavy my 6yo almost squashed himself in it (so I guess it's the walls that have no soundproofing?).
The staff gave us one of the rooms next to the (very cold) indoor pool. We had a reservation and checked in before dinnertime. We listened to people yelling in the pool until 10 (and the pool is open til midnight). Then we listened to the pool filter going on and off all night. Then at 6am the dumpster truck came. At 6:05 people started getting ice from the ice machine (right outside our door). At 6:15 the construction at the motel next door began. There are 2 heavy sleepers in our family, yet both got no sleep here. We all left exhausted.
This motel has a standard Comfort Inn disclaimer in the room about how if you're not happy with your room you get a full refund. They do not honor this--in fact, they "couldn't believe" our room was so loud.

How to get to the decent Comfort Inn (took us 20 minutes to figure out...)

This Comfort Inn is a decent accomodation at a reasonable price -- clean rooms, refrigerators, internet access, etc. -- but as the previous reviewer noted, it's impossible to get to. It's unbelievable to me how the city chose to realign traffic patterns; there HAD to be a better option.
None the less, this is how to get to the Inn when exiting off I-5: Take a left at Bullocks and make a U turn (yup -- everyone else is doing it too.) Take a right turn that immediately puts you into a right turn only lane. Take this first right turn (if you don't you'll end up crossing the freeway) and glide past the Comfort Inn; it's right there but you can't get in! Follow this road around the block to the light. Take a left and then take the SECOND left hand turn lane (past the Motel 6) to the access road to that leads to both the Comfort Inn and the Rogue Regency.
Getting gas the next morning presented the same insane U turn necessity to get back to the freeway or highway 62. Medford is effectively telling travellers NOT to use this freeway off ramp for any kind of commerce. I certainly will avoid it in the future.

Nice hotel, hard to get to

Rooms were nice and clean and nice. Indoor pool was clean. Breakfast was great.
Red lobster a few blocks down. Shopping mall accross the street and down the block.
Staff were friendly.
Unfortunately, you have to go in a half circle with a twist to go across the street. One would think the city of medford engineers had a pi$$ing contest with the management of the hotel, and the hotel lost.
You have to make a few detours to get to the hotel. On one trip back from the restaurant a few blocks down, we made a wrong turn and ended up back on I5. I really feel sorry for the hotel management, they got a raw deal from the city road builders. You can see the hotel from the main street, but the city put an island between the hotel and the main street.
