My husband and I spent Sunday and Monday nights at the Gearhart Ocean Inn and LOVED it. Our room was charming, cozy, and comfortable. The Franklin stove warmed the room very nicely, the bed was very comfortable, the two bedside lamps were bright enough for reading (we've found this to be a problem in other hotels), and everything worked.
We enjoyed the special touches of hospitality: saltwater taffy, sparkling cider, microwave popcorn, and hot chocolate packets, in addition to Torrefazione coffee and several kinds of tea. Reading materials were on the bedside tables, and an emergency kit for power outages was in the dresser. There were plenty of hooks in the bedroom and bathroom for clothes and towels. Really, nothing was overlooked! It was a perfect getaway for two worn-out people who just needed to relax.
A fairly large DVD library is available at no charge, and wireless internet is free in the rooms. There is a large garden area with tables, chairs, and a fire pit.
The office staff was welcoming and helpful. Melissa was on duty most of the time we were there, and she answered my numerous questions about the area patiently and with a smile.
I can't wait to go back!
