I was traveling from Seattle to Astoria and called on my way to assure that there was a room. They said not to worry and that they were open until 10:00pm. So when I showed up at 8:30 I was surprised to find the front door locked. I called the number on the door for about the next half hour and no one answered. At this point I started to worry that I would have to sleep on the streets for the night. Eventually a older lady came to the door and very rudely asked "what do you want?" I replied "a room for the night, I called earlier today and you said you had many available." she replied that I could not have one since the manager had gone. I told her I had no where else to stay and she shrugged her shoulders and sulked back inside. I guess she expected me to just sleep on the streets of this little town. I ended up staying at a hotel down the road for more money then I could afford, and thus had to cut my trip short. I found out the next day that the owners of the Norblad also own the hotel I was forced to stay in. running a little scheme perhaps??
This experience was the low point of my trip and I would probably never go back to Astoria if the beer at the Fort George Brewery and Public house wasn't so darn tasty
