    The only thing that would make this little hotel better is a bigger shower and better lighting in the bathroom. We still love it tho!

    My daughter and I absolutely love this little Hotel We travel from Northern California to Lincoln city, Oregon for vacation several times a year but she always makes me include Astoria and she loves this hotel. The staff are super friendly and we feel like family when we arrive❤️

    The location by the harbour. We were able to access the headland walk for Cape Disappointment and Discovery Trail directly from the hotel. Plenty of parking opposite and interesting to see a working port with boat repair facilities. The only downside was the fact that due to staff shortages the pub for dining options is closed two nights a week. However, there are several other restaurants near Long Beach.

    While I loved the concept and potential for variety of the vending machine, it wasn't stocked well and no prices for the items that were there. It was also a bit uncomfortable to have our window open to allow any breeze in the evening since our window was at the immediate top of the stairs, and everyone going up the stairs would have a direct view into our room

    Super friendly and clean, it was clear that you take great care in making sure everything is just right for guests.

    The parking is technically off-site, and unless you have the curtains closed all the time people walking by can stare straight in your room.

    The room was very clean and modern looking. I especially liked the contactless check-in experience, it made things very convenient. The location is great, right on the waterfront. Although we did not have a view, I spent a lot of time walking along the marina. The hotel is also in walking distance from the Discovery Trail if you want to hike or bike.

    My only complaint was the shower. There was mold in the shower and it really looked like it needed a deep clean or a face lift.

    I loved staying here. The room was very modern and cozy while having a great beach vibe. It was nice to have the pub downstairs and everyone I interacted with was really great. I liked the contactless process and being able to communicate through text. So nice to have pet friendly accomodations! Everything was very clean and welcoming. I would definitely come back!

    Beds didn’t seem to be as advertised, very small for queen size and the pub/ grill was closed both nights we stayed. This was one of the reasons we booked here was the proximity to meals.

    Clean and inviting,

    The only thing that stood out to us was the AC unit. It seemed like it didn’t work no matter what we tried. We tried to adjust the thermostat but it was still warm in the room so we had to leave the windows open.

    I really appreciated that the pictures from the room online matched the room we stayed at. The room was nice and also clean.

    A little noisy.. a family group had rented several of the rooms: did not respect the quiet hours & allowed their children to run wild about the place.

    Cute, cozy room with all the basic amenities: coffee maker, fridge & microwave I liked the efforts toward sustainability: glass glasses, ceramic mugs, shampoo bar instead of little plastic bottles. Soap was from a local company. We ate a couple of meals in the attached pub: the food was wonderful, not too pricey & service staff was great.

    Scratchy sheets

    Direct check in and out was super efficient and simple! They text instructions the day before, morning of check in and at check in time to ensure we knew where to go and what to do etc. Room was TINY but very clean and cute! The over all layout etc reminded us of an old motel 6 type of place but it has been remodeled very nicely and super clean! The location was absolutely perfect for us since we were headed out salmon fishing off the dock on the same road. My ONLY complaint was the sheets were a little scratchy. It works great for one person or a couple for a couple nights. I wouldn't want to stay much longer since its so small and there's definitely not room for a family, but it was perfect for what we needed...and quite affordable for a tourist town mid summer!

    There is no air conditioning and opening a window was not helpful. Because the window could be easily accessed by unknown people, it could only be opened a small bit. It was covered by a curtain and there was no second window that would create air flow. From afternoon to sunset the sun heated up the room considerably. It made sleeping difficult. The room was clean and cute but small.

    What breakfast? We were not aware of breakfast
