In my room, the bathroom had a lightbulb out, the alarm clock, where the only charging ports for my phone were, did not work, and I had to rewire the cable to get it to work on the television. When i checked in, the receptionist was not rude, but was not welcoming either.

No, Wi-Fi. Or when we got it, it was extremely spotty and the TV would not work. Also could not get the jetted tub to work. So these things need to be looked at and taken care of. I would definitely stay here again. It is a beautiful place with a beautiful view! Actually, we have stayed here many times

The view is amazing and the on-site restaurant is very good with the best view in the area. The hotel is dog friendly, which is a definite plus. Some fogging in the windows after lots of rain.

They kicked us off the property after we already paid fpr our reservation. We traveled 2 and half hours to stay there. My husband checked in with the receptionist and confirmed our reservation before we leftbhome and they said that everything was good. We get there and the secretary guard came and told us we were kicked off the property snd they won't return our calls or texts so we can find out why

We accommodated your very late check ins the previous 2 nights. However, on this last night we did not have you as arriving with us at 10pm when the lobby closed. We would have been happy to help you if you had called the after hours phone. When you, instead, chose to take keys from our late check in station that clearly had another guest name on them and refused to return them when our over night person tried to help you, we had to resort to asking you to leave the property. In addition, you knocked on multiple guest doors waking them up looking for the room that didn't belong to you in the first place. It was a very strange situation and unfortunate that we could not get you to cooperate and return the keys or stop disturbing all of our guests at midnight. It took this behavior for us to finally have to resort to calling the police to assist and thankfully that did get you to vacate. It is for that reason you are on the do not rent list. We do not generally have such behaviors from our guests and have to do what is best for everyone who stays with us.

Absolutely a hidden gem. My dog loved it. Amazing ocean view porch in every room. Bartender was the nicest guy. Breakfast was the best on our trip. (crab eggs benni) The beach was like an amazing private beach that is dog friendly (except some old man w a dog hit my dog who is super dog friendly but that isn't the hotels issue I am just miffed still), Even the cleaning staff was nice. Staying there every time I road trip through Oregon!! FYI hot tub was out of service but the indoor pool is heated and there is a sauna.

The staff were great and we absolutely LOVE the restaurant, views and the beach/beach access. The walls are pretty paper thin. We didn’t sleep well because of the people above and to the side of us. Didn’t seem like anything extraordinary was happening - no partying, ect. I can only imagine our neighbors felt the same about us. The other issue was that it wasn’t super clean. The floors and the bathroom door weren’t well kept. My expectation when staying in a space that people move in and out of is pretty white glove. Nothing that made us want to move rooms - the bedding and furniture were spotless - but definitely made me not use the jetted tub.

On arrival, we weren't allowed to check in to the suite we had reserved online because pets are apparently not allowed (the listing said NOTHING about this restriction). So we were downgraded to a smaller room with none of the amenities in the booked suite & for the same price. After 1 night, we checked out due to the mediocre condition of the room and constant banging around by our upstairs neighbors, even though we had booked for 3 nights. We definitely won't return to this poorly managed location again.

I could hear every foot step from the guest above. The dragging of furniture was a drag as well. The mini pool and hot tub was okay, but they had an industrial fan that was so loud that it took away any relaxing pleasure. The staff was great. I won't be returning, ever.

STAY AWAY!! I am blown away this place is even operating!! We needed to delay our stay a day, Talked to Expedia and called the property. When we were a day late they had given our room away, even though we paid for the day we missed. We asked for non smoking, got smoking. The room was full of smoke smell AND URINE!! The bed was messed up like someone had been sitting on it etc etc. the entire property is gross and dirty. An expensive place for nastiness!! We didn’t even stay! Checked out within the hour

Response from Management on 29 Feb 2024
While we understand your frustration, please understand that you chose to book a no cancel reservation with Expedia where they gave you a lower rate but indicate a warning when you book that you can't cancel your stay or they will still charge for the whole thing. As a hotel, we do not have such policies and do not offer discounted stays without an option to cancel. We did try to contact you the day of your stay and were unable to reach you. Perhaps you told Expedia you were going to be a day late. I apologize as the hotel was not informed. We were still able to get you the same room type that you booked when you arrived. When you reported the room as unsatisfactory, we refunded all but the 1 night as that is the cancellation policy and by the time you let us know you would not be staying it was quite late. Staff and management did go to the room as you indicated you felt there was an odor, unfortunately it was not verified but we honored your refund as a courtesy and as we try to maintain positive relations with our guests. We apologize for the confusion you had with Expedia regarding the type of reservation you booked with them and their cancellation policy. We do understand that left an unhappy feel to your check in and affected how you felt about your experience over all. As we did not charge you the stay, we hope Expedia has compensated you as well. You did pay them directly not the hotel. If you need assistance getting your money back from them, please let us know. We are happy to help.

Probably would have given it an overall excellent rating. But the bed in the room, the mattress was kind of lumpy. After sleeping on it for 3 days, my back's pretty sore. Other than that, we had a great time.

This location is amazing all the rooms have a great view. The beach access is hard to beat. That being said. I wish more care went into the actual rooms and property. The building is old some sketchy brown water came out of the bath taps when turned on. The rooms are worn and not very clean at all. The fans for the bathroom are coated in years of dust and grime. There was a general feel of shabbiness and neglect to the property, which has the potential to be a wonderful experience if given the right time and effort.
