This is a great place to stay during the winter storm season. One of the main reasons we stay here is that they accept dogs. I should emphasize that they don't just allow dogs, they really welcome them and are very friendly towards them. The last time we stayed there, we had a room in the "back" building on the top floor. It had a great view and was very comfortable, so we requested that room again and got it. The second morning we were there, they called and asked if we would be willing to move to a suite in the oceanfront building so that they could do some repair and painting on the building. We moved into a very nice oceanfront suite on the top floor. It had a fantastic view and was very comfortable. The pool and hot tub are nice (the hot tub is actually hot and not lukewarm!) The staff is very friendly and the property is very well maintained.

This resort is awesome for getting away. It does not have a restaurant on site, but they have a nice mini fridge and microwave. There are some very nice restaurants and "coffee shops" close by. Now on to the Hallmark, the staff is VERY nice and generous, they greet you when you come in and just shortly after you arrive they call your room to make sure everything is in order and to your liking. If you need anything they get it to you right away or you can go to the front dest and get it. The ocean front rooms are great, you get a great view of "Hay Stack Rock" it's just lovely. The seagulls, have made friends with previous guests and decided to become our friends too, you only get one on your balcony (thats good) and he just stares at you and hopes you will feed him :-) The fireplace in the rooms are nice, the heat is like you want when you are at home, if you are cold turn it on and the room gets warm extremely quick, nice for those cold or rainy walks! The swimming pool is nice, not too warm and not too cold, the hot tubs are nice and the steam room is great. The facilities are clean, the maids do a great job each day cleaning, the maintenance crew does great, they are always busy painting, staining, planting flowers, washing windows, or cleaning the pool. Just a lovely little romanic 3 nights - thank you Hallmark for making it such!

My True Love and I booked 2 nights in a queen room on the ocean side. We were given a room in the corner with a perfect view of the ocean and the "hay stacks". The room was just what we wanted! We have stayed there several times and the people are always helpful and friendly. We tend to go to Cannon Beach in the off-season, but are still treated like valued guests. The staff are sincere about wanting to know how the stay was and what could be done to improve it. Cannon Beach is a great destination to have as a frequent get-a-away, and Hallmark Resort is the place to stay!

I feel the physical facilities here are somewhat better than average, but keep in mind that my idea of "average" and yours probably differ. The bathroom of my unit was somewhat dated (old tub, toilet, tile), and the pool and hot tubs seemed old. But when I was there they were doing a slow upgrade (more in the Fall, they said). But the location is great (just a short walk to the stores, yet far enough from them to seem "residential") and if you have an ocean room the view of Haystack Rock from your room and deck is spectacular! The place sits high on the bluff, so it's a long walk down their steps to the beach (not handicapped accessible). Despite what some people say, I found the desk staff to be nice (and I've been there twice in 2 years). Keep in mind that the place consists of 5 buildings, 3 of which are connected and are on the beach (high up on the bluff), while the other 2 are behind those 3, so may have no views of Haystack Rock. There are also 4-5 vacation bungalows on the beach (lower down on the bluff) and some townhouse suites, but I don't think those suites have views. And the exercise room is fine, if small. The beach units in the 3 main buildings could be considered a bit pricy, but hey - what place isn't on a beach in Oregon, and the views of Haystack Rock make it all worthwhile. That rock never ceases to please me, and when the tide is low the marine life is also spectacular. My guess is that this place may have the very best hotel view of the rock in all of Cannon Beach.
