Awesome oceanfront, understated, quiet, cozy. We did a last-minute trip here for winter storm watching. Thought we'd just find another place in Lincoln City, but couldn't do -- we always end up at the Elizabeth Street Inn. Salmon chowder for a late afternoon snack, amazing view, fireplaces, comfortable bed, deck, so relaxing! Also has fridge, microwave, coffeemaker in the room (and coffee in lobby, too). The only thing to note is that they make chocolate chip cookies for guests, about 8 pm, I think. We went to the casino in Lincoln City and out for dinner and they're always gone when we get back! Sad. I would love it if they made a 2nd batch for us "later" nighters. :) We seem to always miss the breakfast, too (6-10 am) because we sleep in and take advantage of the cozy coast.
Pool and amenities were closed for remodeling but it was ok because it was such a fast trip and we hardly ever have time to enjoy that anyway (we don't travel there with the kids).
Also worthy of noting, most restaurants close early in Newport, but there are a few bars and Newport Cafe nearby that are open late and are ok. Thank you, Elizabeth Street Inn, for being our home away from home.
Room Tip: Try to get floors 3-4. Floor 2 is above parking area and one time, we were awoken by a large diesel...

Glad to hear you "always end up at the Elizabeth Street Inn". Those kinds of comments always make us happy.
Storm watching is probably my favorite time to watch the oceans fury. It is so amazing to sit in the room and watch it in front of the fireplace, and out of the elements. We get a lot of guests that come specifically in the winter just to see the storms roll in.
Next time you come down let us know if you are heading out in the evening, and we can put a couple of cookies away for you.
We are proud to be your "home away from home".
See you soon!
