Management was very accommodating. Easy check-in and check-out. Answered all questions and made sure we were comfortable. The room was very nice. kingsize bed with a table and a desk. We would have preferred a walk-in shower with a handheld showerhead and no tub. The above counter sink was attractive but needed a spout with more clearance for hand washing. Overall a very pleasant experience.

The pictures online don’t look anything like the rooms. Very deceiving. The shower had black mold, the beds were very springy and bouncy, the channels on the TV went in and out, the walls are paper thin and you can hear EVERYTHING. The breakfast was good and had decent options.

Hi Michelle,We are sorry to hear that the room was not to your liking. I hope you brought this to our attention when you were here. We would have done all we could to remedy the situation. We have satellite and sometimes the channels lose signal. We will have maintenance check out the other things you have brought up. Thank you and we wish you well on your future travels..

A great place for one or two nights, very clean rooms, nice breakfast (only pancakes and waffles as hot food, no eggs or bacon or premade hot food), super helpful and friendly staff. The front desk person came to our room to fix the tv right away. Overall, I’d totally stay here again.

Exceptional customer service and beautiful, clean rooms! One of the "BEST" budget friendly hotels to stay in for the price with breakfast included😋 First, My husband and I want to thank, Sang for making our check in go so smoothly. We had requested a room on the 1st floor and close to the office entrance due to my husbands bad hip. The room he gave us was absolutely perfect! The room was large and very accommodating. We loved the layout of the room. The continental breakfast had everything you could ask for including hot waffles and pancakes. Great selection of fruits, yogurts, breakfast cereals, pastries, juice and coffee. Plenty of food to get you started for the day. My husband and I stay in alot of hotels that are budget friendly and found that "The Ocean Star Inn" is by far the best and is number 1 on our list. We highly recommend this hotel, you won't be disappointed. This is absolutely a 5 star hotel. Thank you Sang and Amanda for making our stay so wonderful! We will be back on our next visit to Sequim:) Richard and Carmen

Ocean Star is just outside of Sequim's cute downtown area, so loads of shopping and dining are close by. The room was perfectly clean and very comfortable, but in no way fancy ... so if you're looking for fancy or luxury this is not your spot. It's a great home base for a good night's sleep while you explore the area.

This was such a cute place to stay with very friendly hosts. Our pet was very welcome with lots of places to walk outside. The rooms were dated but clean and beds were cozy. (Meaning- the toilets were small, the piping was noisy, etc). Showers had great water pressure and bottles of shampoo and soap. Sink area outside of toilet/shower area. We had a fridge, a love seat and a coffee table in addition to the beds and tv. Tv was fabulous- new and big. We brought our own roku and the picture was better than we have at home. HVAC was super old but easily controlled and the room was quite comfortable. There were trees and shrubs in the backyard so instead of looking out on parking lots we felt like we were in the forest. Breakfast was meh. They had the usual waffle maker, pancake makers, muffins, yogurt and breads. Definitely enough to fill your belly! Overall we were quite happy with our stay. It was incredibly affordable. We would come back to stay here again.

This hotel locates in a safe and quiet area. Our room was large and recently remodeled with new shower, lavatory area, floor and mattress. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Parking lot was very well-lit with many bright street lamps, helping drivers and pedestrians feel safe and make it easier to navigate. Breakfast was excellent with many health choices: milk, croissants, eggs, yogurt, pancakes made automatically on a electric pancake maker, fresh fruits, juices, coffee and tea . Light snacks and green tea were also available in the lobby. For our trip, It was not easy to find a good hotel with breakfast and reasonable price in Sequim area. The hotel also locates just a few minutes from Costco so we could get good gasoline price and necessary supplies for our trips to Olympic National Park and Victoria, Canada. We will definitely book this same hotel for our future visits to the area and highly recommend it to everyone.
