This property is very simple and clean. The real draw is the beach. It is very secluded and only a few people were there at the time of our visit.

Sweet old style motels with charming staff. Room and check in area were very clean. Watched Princess bride on DVD. Yummy donuts and fresh fruit in the morning. The grassy area needed a good clean up for spring. The beach is quiet and beautiful. Had everything i needed, even a folding table and chair for eating.

The staff, and view were 5 stars! The bathtub was dirty and rooms are outdated. No one door dashes or delivers we had to drive 18min one way for Dominos pizza. But the other two (staff and view) make up for the rest!

The manager is incredibly friendly and caring. The hotel is just about the most dog-friendly spot you can stay at. They provide you with a Coleman dog bed, treats, a few poop bags, and a bowl. They also have more than enough grass space to sniff around and clear the pipes. The rooms have been updated and are clean. They offer apples and store donuts with coffee every morning. The beach is maybe a 50 foot walk from the hotel rooms and provides great views. Really, the only think that the property could benefit from are more comfortable beds and pillows. We would stay here again for sure.

What a fantastic little Inn! So welcoming and the room itself was clean and really well done. We left before the office opened and the staff came out to see if everything was okay and to bring us coffee for the road! So thoughtful! Beautiful ocean views and great back patio. We will absolutely stay here again!!

This property is exactly as advertised. It’s a quaint motel steeped in history with upgrades that offer some modern conveniences. If you appreciate accommodations steeped in history, this is the place for you. The best thing is Team Tillicum Beach Motel. Hands-on owners Chad and Emily, and support team…Josh, Janice, Kim and others. Easy access to the beach in front of the motel, other local beaches, the towns of Yachats, Florence and Waldport make this an ideal spot for bumbling from adventure after adventure on the Central Oregon Coast.

What a gem
Very cozy and comfortable quaint motel right on the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Stayed in #1 and really enjoyed the two separate rooms so our daughter could have one to herself while we watched one of the movies you can borrow from the motel lobby. Great stay, we will definitely be back.

This place takes you back in time! Nice property-walk out back down the stairs - great beach (you can walk to Yachats) . Staff very friendly! Rooms are clean! My only negative = mattress gets a 2 out of 4 and the pillows get a zero! Because I am a spoiled American.

Sweet, well-appointed spot on the beach
Friendly, helpful staff and management, and a very nice, spacious room. Great place to come with a dog, and the location really can't be beat. We'd definitely come back! The bathroom was spacious and had an effective heater. Plenty of hot water. My room had a fridge and a microwave. My only hesitations: Something used to clean the floors made them a bit slippery and sticky, and I would have liked more effective window coverings to block out the sunshine. Otherwise, really wonderful. We will be back!
