Absolutely a hidden gem. My dog loved it. Amazing ocean view porch in every room. Bartender was the nicest guy. Breakfast was the best on our trip. (crab eggs benni) The beach was like an amazing private beach that is dog friendly (except some old man w a dog hit my dog who is super dog friendly but that isn't the hotels issue I am just miffed still), Even the cleaning staff was nice. Staying there every time I road trip through Oregon!! FYI hot tub was out of service but the indoor pool is heated and there is a sauna.

The staff were great and we absolutely LOVE the restaurant, views and the beach/beach access. The walls are pretty paper thin. We didn’t sleep well because of the people above and to the side of us. Didn’t seem like anything extraordinary was happening - no partying, ect. I can only imagine our neighbors felt the same about us. The other issue was that it wasn’t super clean. The floors and the bathroom door weren’t well kept. My expectation when staying in a space that people move in and out of is pretty white glove. Nothing that made us want to move rooms - the bedding and furniture were spotless - but definitely made me not use the jetted tub.

On arrival, we weren't allowed to check in to the suite we had reserved online because pets are apparently not allowed (the listing said NOTHING about this restriction). So we were downgraded to a smaller room with none of the amenities in the booked suite & for the same price. After 1 night, we checked out due to the mediocre condition of the room and constant banging around by our upstairs neighbors, even though we had booked for 3 nights. We definitely won't return to this poorly managed location again.

I could hear every foot step from the guest above. The dragging of furniture was a drag as well. The mini pool and hot tub was okay, but they had an industrial fan that was so loud that it took away any relaxing pleasure. The staff was great. I won't be returning, ever.

STAY AWAY!! I am blown away this place is even operating!! We needed to delay our stay a day, Talked to Expedia and called the property. When we were a day late they had given our room away, even though we paid for the day we missed. We asked for non smoking, got smoking. The room was full of smoke smell AND URINE!! The bed was messed up like someone had been sitting on it etc etc. the entire property is gross and dirty. An expensive place for nastiness!! We didn’t even stay! Checked out within the hour

Response from Management on Feb 29, 2024
While we understand your frustration, please understand that you chose to book a no cancel reservation with Expedia where they gave you a lower rate but indicate a warning when you book that you can't cancel your stay or they will still charge for the whole thing. As a hotel, we do not have such policies and do not offer discounted stays without an option to cancel. We did try to contact you the day of your stay and were unable to reach you. Perhaps you told Expedia you were going to be a day late. I apologize as the hotel was not informed. We were still able to get you the same room type that you booked when you arrived. When you reported the room as unsatisfactory, we refunded all but the 1 night as that is the cancellation policy and by the time you let us know you would not be staying it was quite late. Staff and management did go to the room as you indicated you felt there was an odor, unfortunately it was not verified but we honored your refund as a courtesy and as we try to maintain positive relations with our guests. We apologize for the confusion you had with Expedia regarding the type of reservation you booked with them and their cancellation policy. We do understand that left an unhappy feel to your check in and affected how you felt about your experience over all. As we did not charge you the stay, we hope Expedia has compensated you as well. You did pay them directly not the hotel. If you need assistance getting your money back from them, please let us know. We are happy to help.

Probably would have given it an overall excellent rating. But the bed in the room, the mattress was kind of lumpy. After sleeping on it for 3 days, my back's pretty sore. Other than that, we had a great time.

This location is amazing all the rooms have a great view. The beach access is hard to beat. That being said. I wish more care went into the actual rooms and property. The building is old some sketchy brown water came out of the bath taps when turned on. The rooms are worn and not very clean at all. The fans for the bathroom are coated in years of dust and grime. There was a general feel of shabbiness and neglect to the property, which has the potential to be a wonderful experience if given the right time and effort.

The view of the ocean was great. The Clarion is run down. Our room was okay. Ate at the onsite restaurant. Stuffed, baked portobello mushroom was cold. Would stay again because of the view. Do not recommend eating at the restaurant.

The shower control was nonexistent. It looked like maintenance had removed the broken valve and then forgot to replace it, leaving a big hole. The hotel did not have a maintenance person on duty and they did not have another room. They did offer us another room at a property 4 miles away.

We got a suite for our kids/grandkids to be near great grandma for Christmas, it was the perfect room with two queen beds, 2 bathrooms and plenty of space to relax during the day and it had fabulous ocean views.

The view was the best in town. There were some things about the resort that were dated and some things not functioning to peak performance. However with that in mind, I would certainly stay here again. It was quiet for the most part and we came for the view, did not disappoint.

The view was great and good location. A luggage stand would be a good addition. Hot and good water need to be switched. Hot on left and cold on right in sink. Toilet lid should be the right size of the toilet? We stayed in unit #26. Thank you!
