We liked the location - right on the beach with good views. We liked the room overall. We normally bring tea with us, but since their website advertised a coffee/tea service in each room, we figured we were covered. They had a Keurig-type machine and lots of coffee k-cups, but no tea and only a microwave to heat up water. We made do, just felt a little misled. The mattress in our room could do with an upgrade as the side closest to the bathroom caved a bit too much and it felt like your feet were higher than your head. Check in was smooth; parking was good; friendly staff.

I was more than impressed with my room as soon as I opened the door. It felt cozy and had just the right amount of furniture for the space. The view was my favorite part. One side of my room were all windows that looked out over the beach and shoreline. I was there for two nights for work. Had I known it was this gorgeous and comfortable, I would have requested PTO to stay a couple of extra days! Would definitely book there first if I go back to that area.

Nice place but strong "air freshener" odor
Great location, and the place is comfortable and clean. One drawback is that two plug-in "air fresheners" were in the room, creating a very strong perfume smell which lingered even after unplugging them and putting them outside. My clothes smelled like the stuff the next day. If you are sensitive to fragrances you shouldn't stay here. If that doesn't bother you, this is a nice spot with great views and good access to the beach.

Stayed in room 8 of Moolack Shores Inn. It is on the bottom level of the north corner of the inn. It had a great view of north Moolack beach and Otter Rock. Only downfall is that it is on the shady side of the building if you want sun. There is a nice lawn area though on the other side of the property with a couple chairs that we were able to sit out and get some sun. It could sleep 4 with the two bunk style beds but feel like that would push the limits of space for this 400 square foot room. Felt like plenty of room for me and my wife and the bunks were a perfect place for us to store our stuff. Staff was super friendly and would totally stay here again.

Pros: The staff were friendly and the check-in process was easy. The rooms were different themes and decorated to be cozy and inviting. The beach access was great. It's nice supporting a local business. Cons: When we first entered the room, housekeeping left our window open, which allowed quite a few flies and gnats to enter the room. I'm assuming this is normal because there was a fly swatter by the window. A huge bee or hornet entered our room in the middle of the night. I am not sure how the bee entered the room, but while looking around I found several small holes and places insects could easily enter/exit. Lastly, the parking lot isn't the cleanest or easiest to enter and exit. The surface is gravel and when I first arrived, I was parked beside dog poop. The second time I parked, I was beside a rusty pair of scissors. I also left the parking lot with a puncture in my tire and based on the timing, it seems it occurred in the parking lot. Summary: Overall, I think this room was fairly over-priced based on the property conditions but this is a town fueled by tourism. I would not stay here again but it may be a good fit for other people.

The view was the saving grace!
The toilet water tank leaking noise kept us awake all night and the toilet seat cover is defective not being able to stay opened, the artificial fragrance plug-in air refresher caused headaches even unplugged with all the doors open to clear the air, it’s strong chemical odor into linens as well the internet was down during overnight but the view was spectacular!
