Words cannot describe the awful experience we had at this motel. Horrifyingly stained sheets and two mattress covers underneath the sheets. Not to mention some very sketchy Behavior upstairs with stomping and Furniture being dragged around from 8:30 at night until 6:00 the next morning. Non-Stop Furniture being moved for some reason. The person that was in the room was even spoken to and promised to quiet down. It never happened. Worst experience of my life.

You’re so sorry about the issues here we did refund back your money fully to you. And I also fired my Housekeeper. But thank you anyway. Have a good trip back to Canada.
Hi there thanks for staying with us. We’re sorry that you had a bad experience. This is we found out that those were in that room. We had an exterminator come out that day. And we also refunded the two night stay for you. Thank you!
The room was dirty cobwebs everywhere, bathroom vent and the heater was filthy not been cleaned in years
second day they took our towels and did not replace them and bed not made or nothing done will not be staying in that town at that time of year ever again and definately not this place way over priced just because a car show in town so they gouge the people.

Hi there thanks for staying with us. I don’t know how the heater could be that dirty. Since we just installed it last year. I’m sorry that they did not replace your towels. And if you have any personal items left on the bed, we do not make the bed. And looking at the prices for that same weekend and other hotels in the area. We were the less expensive ones out of all of them. Thank you!
Convenient location, room was not the cleanest, was trash still in room from previous guests

Yes, due to the increase of Covid cases, we check people in outside. And all motels around here have pictures of the water on their website. It would mention in the details if you had a view of the water from your room. And you would’ve paid a lot more money for that room. Thank you very much!

While the room we booked wasn't available, we were looked after just fine.
Our room (The 'Wreck') had a full kitchen, we just needed the fridge & microwave.
Made good use of the dining room table for some cards.
Room was very clean, and did the job.
Easy walk down to the Salt Pub for dinner.

Thank you very much! I’m glad that you had a great time
I liked that it was the only room available during the R&B festival and the kite festival.
The "inn" was a dump - old and patched up. The person at the front desk was not very friendly or very helpful. Would not stay there again - the cost was over $400 for two nights.

No AC in August. 2nd floor landing felt like it would cave in. Spider and spider webs in the room. Stained sheets and towels. The name is misleading. Heidi is a man. TV was screen was broken and they brought another unannounced, when the other was doable. They did not ask if I needed it. Felt unsafe there.

Right on the page when you make a reservation, it states that we do not have air-conditioning. And yes, you came down and told me that the TV screen was broken. So when the housekeeping went into your room to take care of you, we replaced it. Thank you!
Bathroom toilet wouldn't flush. Room dingy. Property old and dingy. Manager didn't have key to get in to office, so we had to wait until he went home to get it. Derelict pickup truck parked in font of our room full of old cans and bottles.
Noisy at night. Can't recommend

Well, I’m sorry that the toilet did not flush. We got it fixed immediately after we found out about it. And also I locked my keys in the office. So I had to go get another employees keys to unlock the office. And as far as the other guest, they brought their vehicle in here and parked their vehicle out front. I can’t do much about that. Thank you!

We stayed on 2nd floor and thought it would be less noisy, but we could hear the person in the next room talking and then during the night snoring. Convenient location to Port of Ilwaco.

The hotel is a bit dated but it was very clean, quiet and the bed was super comfortable. Just what we needed after a long days drive.
The only thing I didn’t like was the smoking section was right next to our designated parking spot. We had to inhale cigarette smoke while packing up the car in the morning and all our clothes smelled like cigarettes the rest of the day.

Expected for the price that it would be not clean, noisy, or in some way undesirable. It's old, but well-kept and comfortable, considering other places in the area start at twice the cost!

Clean room at a great price. Motel was full but quiet. It's nice to stay in a small town that doesn't get crazy with tourists. Close to the lighthouse and beaches. The only problem, as some have mentioned, is the room was very musty smelling. Had to take an allergy pill so I didn't get sneezy, but it was clean and newly painted. Bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Will stay here again.

The floor was uneven and the pictures online made the room look a bit bigger. There were huge carpenter ants inside the light fixture, which can be expected as there was a tree right outside the room. Though the guy at the office didnt seem to mind much. Overall, I think I over paid for this room as I could have paid just as much for a room closer to the beach. Wouldnt return unless I had no other option. Also the parking lot is super small and limited entrance way is kinda of shocking.

Oh hi there thank you for staying with us. We are sure glad that you came down. And yes there is only one entrance into the property. This is Motel was built in 1965. And also during the spring time which it is. We have a Lotta insects that come from a lot of trees around here. Thank you very much!
We came down for a night and it was just what we needed. Reserved the family room. 2queen beds 1 king bed. Lots of hot water and nice mini fridge/ microwave and coffee pot set up. It was also super awesome they had late check in until 11pm. Perfect for a day at the beach and dinner after before heading to your hotel.

Run down and shabby. Very musty smell that is still in my luggage and clothes. Weird noises at night, but they provide a table fan.Put the fan on high next to the bed for some white noise to help sleep.
One of those places where you’re relieved to see your car is safe and still there the next morning.
