Ashland is nice, but I've never felt as though I got a decent value
there. Earlier this year, we stayed at the Riverside Inn in Grants
Pass, which has some interesting character, and was a reasonably-priced
place to stay. There is a river walk, a nearby park (with jungle
gym), and a central location. I personally favor brewpubs, and
walked there. Also, Oregon Caves National Park is an excellent
family stop. It was no true "destination," but we (me, wife, 3
kids) enjoyed our stopover there.
Ashland does have a very nice city park, and good food. I can't
really say anything bad about Ashland, although Grants Pass is more
of a budget stop. Skip Medford, for sure.
