“Family-friendly, comfortable place with great view!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

We stay at this resort whenever we visit the quiet, peaceful beach of Rockaway Beach. We love going to Rockaway Beach because it is never too crowded even in the summer and the town's got cute little places. The hotel itself is not too fancy (just like the town!) but they have everything for family weekend getaway at a reasonable price. Their kitchenette is very clean and is pretty well equipped for a hotel. I like how the rooms are always clean and they have heated pool! The view is pretty amazing. The place is right on the beach! The service I thought was relatively okay too. I really like the location of this place the best out of all the hotels/motels in Rockaway Beach.

Room Tip: Look for discounts on their website! We usually get it.

“clean, comfortable, simple”

person found this review helpful

We stayed 2 nights in January. Very comfortable and clean. Nothing fancy, but we came for the ocean, not the hotel. 7 miles of beach right at your feet, dog friendly, gas fireplace and a kitchen. Reasonably priced. We like Rockaway because there isn't much there; peace and quiet and the beach.

“Updating Needed!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We stayed here a few years ago but always in the summer...In the winter the rooms are drafty...Only a small wall heater under the window...The bathroom has a window so very drafty and like sitting in an outhouse. Need to have a GOOD heat lamp in there or add a heater. It would of been nice to have the heat turned on prior to our arrival on a cold December night! The bed was cold so felt damp..The mattresses are past their lifetime and need to be replaced..There was no Alarm Clock...The Ocean View is awesome and the reasonable rates are appreciated but please update!!!!

“Nice room, HORRIBLE Matress!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

We had a very pleasant room with a great ocean view, plenty of room for a kitchen area, dining table and a fireplace. One minor complaint was the lack of pots, pans and utensils, which rendered the kitchen mostly useless for long-distance travelers. We didn't try the pool facilities due to a tight schedule and bad weather, but the beach access was great.
Unfortunately, our 2-night visit was virtually spoiled by a lack of sleep due to the most uncomfortable bed we've ever encountered. It was literally rock hard and just lumpy enough to add a few extra pressure points. I took the cushions off of the little sofa and slept on the floor the first night, leaving the bed to my wife. We asked for extra pillows the second night, which helped a little, but not enough. We were in town for a busy meeting, and we had paid up front, so we elected to tough it out rather than trying to find an alternative.

Room Tip: Check the bed first! Housekeeping said some are better, but complaints are common.

Hello,

Sorry to hear about the discomfort you experienced during your stay. All of our mattresses were changed out within the past 3-4 years. If you could e-mail us with the room number in which you stayed we would be more than happy to check on that specific mattress. If you could e-mail or call us we would be more than happy to assist you with your future visits. Thank you so much again for your stay with us.

“Nothing special, but just what we needed..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

We have stayed at quite a few hotel/motels and vacation rentals on the Oregon Coast and this one gives a little more for the price than others of it's type. Be sure and check their web-site for their 20% off coupon! The 1 Q room with a fully stocked kitchen and a large bathroom was very clean, maybe a little beat-up but not wore-out...The man at the desk was quick and efficient, also had Halloween candy for us:0).On the beach oceanfront with the private deck was perfect. There is a pool but as our reason for being there was to use it as a base for hiking the trails we didn't have the time to enjoy it...Oh and I cant' forget the gas fireplace; perfect after being out all day!

Room Tip: We had a room on the top floor corner of building A which provided a front and side view of the ocea...
