The Summer Lake Hot Springs resort is a nice stop. The hot springs pool is inside a barn like building. So you can pretend to be a cowboy soaking after a long hot day in the saddle.
I didn't notice anything particularly rough about the road surface 9 years ago. But, I bypassed a good chunk of it by driving up on to the rim above the lake. :) I even picked up a broken chainsaw file in a rear tire while looking for the Hole in Ground volcanic feature.
This area is best done in a vehicle that lets you explore, and not just dash from one city to the next on the smoothest straightest road.
