Inn At the Shore

Lovely little place! Stayed in #304, a true oceanfront room with a big balcony and beautiful views. The ladies who worked there were so kind. I would be happy to visit again. Quaint, charming, local. Thanks!

Nice quiet spot at the end of the prom. Price was reasonable, especially for a jacuzzi tub and top floor view. Tub jets can be used far later than some places and if you complain about there being a suggested «curfew» on it, well, you’re not a considerate person. This isn’t a resort @ 400 per night where you can do whatever you want. Rent a house. This a quieter place with only 18 rooms.
We found the bed to be comfortable, and nice TV set up if you like that. Movies downstairs for free. Had to see GOONIES, of course. Tradition and all.
Just a thing or two on the room. It had a gas fireplace. We didn’t NEED it, but it’s nice sometimes just for ambiance. However, it didn’t work. And the timer knob fell apart in my hand. Oops. They were nice about it when I showed them that, not accusatory, which was nice.
TV seems difficult to get set to watch DVDs, they even have a laminated paper with instructions. Hah. Didn’t work straight from the remote. I mean, that’s not a deal breaker, just to note, don’t expect to point and click!
Room 302 is where were were, and it does have a fridge, microwave, and some dishes. Small coffee maker. If you plan on several days, this is not one to cook in much, as this one doesn’t have an actual stove. I believe they have a room or two that does.
Last thing; upon check– in, the lady was super friendly! They have fruit in a basket they offer free, which was great. We were hungry. Apples, oranges. Also they have that taffy from in town all over the place. Lobby, in your room.
Room is also in nice, relaxing tones, as for décor. It’s very beachy in a sense.
I happen to think that matters.
We enjoyed our stay, no issues. It just maybe needs that little bit of maintenance. Not sure why the fireplace didn’t work. You could see it was «lit» and ready, as it were.
PS be aware there is no pool or breakfast service as such. FYI. But we knew that. I’d never dock stars for things they don’t advertise.

Just returned from a lovely getaway to the Oregon Coast. Stayed last night at Inn at the Shore and was four out of five stars pleased. Great location at the south end of the prom so a bit more quiet and peaceful. Easy walk to the beach. Room was spotless, the bed was compfy, jacuzzi tub was a bonus and the fireplace cracked perfectly. Lovely doggie basket with food and water bowls along with clean sheets to drape the bed and couch with. Also, very nice bath salts. Really, the biggest negative… We needed a pet friendly room and wanted ocean front. That’s only available on the first floor unfortunately so although it was technically ocean front, we didn’t have much of a view at all which was a disappointment. The view was obstructed for the most part.
Be sure to note that there is no stove in room, just a microwave & mini-​fridge. Not crazy about the parking lot but parking on the street was just fine.

I stayed here overnight on May 9, 2015 and was overall impressed. The location is great — We had a room with a direct ocean view, and we were on the 3^rd floor, so we had a pretty good view. Our room had a decent porch as well, so we could sit out back and watch the beach and ocean.
Our room had a few other nice touches as well: In addition to a TV with DVD player, our room also had a gas fireplace, a jacuzzi in the bathroom, and a small area with a mini refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave oven. The king-​size bed was roomy and fairly comfortable for a hotel bed. There was also a fan in the room — Probably because there’s no air conditioner. Thankfully it wasn’t hot when we stayed.
I was also surprised that our wifi internet access was fairly strong and fast. I was impressed, since most other hotels I’ve been to have fairly bad wifi internet service. They have several wi-​fi hotspots to cover the 3 floors of the hotel, which helps. Maybe we were just lucky and got a room that had a strong wifi signal.
The customer service at the front desk was nice and friendly. They also have a selection of movies to watch — It’s a small selection on both DVD and VHS, but still a nice touch.
Also (and maybe because we were on the top floor), we didn’t hear much (if any) noise from other guests while we were there.
I really enjoyed staying at this hotel, which really helped make my Seaside visit enjoyable.

Prefect location… amazing customer service! Very clean rooms. Inn is located in a not so busy area. They offer bikes, movies, & board games that you can check out. Front office staff are so sweet and helpful. Beach is right in front of you amazing view and loved the access to the prom. Jetted tub was the best the bath salt smelled wonderful… the inn ask that you don’t put bubble bath because of the jets but you can use the bar of soap they provide for you USE IT! Creates more bubbles then bubble bath any ways ;) we enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back!

Went on a mid-​week getaway (overnighter) with the hubby. Check in was a breeze, the receptionist was very pleasant. Room was to be expected based off photos online. The fact that we were able to book last minute was rad. NO ONE had rooms open right on the beach level at the last minute– that is if you didn’t mind paying $ 190+!!
The kingsize bed was a treat, but hard on our backs :-(Thats my thumbs down for the room. I think the jacuzzi tub made up for it though. Water pressure was slow, so it took about 15 – 20 min for the tub to fill… Keep in mind this is a 2 seater tub, it was still slow. Would definitely go again, but opt for 2^nd or 3^rd floor. I liked being directly on the prom, but did not like that we we couldn’t keep the patio door open to hear the ocean. The latch was broken, and didn’t feel safe keeping it open overnight.

Booked a room last minute and I was really surprised by how nice it was.
Love that it was pet friendly and the fireplace was so nice. Even though we didn’t have an ocean view the balcony view we had was great. The beds are pretty comfortable as well. I will definitely be back again.

For a last minute booking during a event-​packed weekend at the coast, I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Maybe I’m just not hip to hotel ratings these days, but this is definitely above a 2.5 star hotel in my book.
We were in a 3^rd floor ocean front room, and while the property is a bit back from the beach itself, the view from our outdoor deck provided some sweet unobstructed ocean action, perfect for drinking wine and watching the sunset. We had our 6-​month-​old with us, and they kindly provided a pack-​n-​play in the room. We learned they’re also pet friendly, so take «kid and pet friendly» as you will. (Before I had the bub, I would have run for the hills after reading this. Now, kid-​friendly = gold.) And while we weren’t able to take advantage of the free bikes or the jacuzzi tub, the fact that they were available was an awesome perk worth noting.
The room was not fancy, but very comfortable — save one thing: no AC. It was one of the hottest days of the year and our room was nearly unbearable until the sun went down. But honestly, how many days a year would this be a problem? (Even after seeing the forecast, we still packed sweaters and were banking on using the fireplace. It’s the Oregon Coast, after all!) Overall, a lovely little spot for families with kids, pets, and/​or ballers on a budget looking for a low-​key Seaside getaway.

The hotel is not impressive from the outside; the surprise comes to you once you unlock your door, provided you’ve booked a king/​jacuzzi suite or double queen suite. Looks like a nicely decorated apartment you could live in. The only amenities not ion the room itself are ironing & laundry; there’s probably a room for that. The rooms & staff were both very quiet.
There are only 6 rooms with the beach view, you definitely want to put in the few extra bucks to get one. You get a balcony that stretches from one of the bedrooms to the living room & there’s a table & 6 chairs out here. You can hear the waves as soon as you open the patio door. The transparent balcony railing is surprisingly free of bird poop.
There’s a DVD/​VHS player; movie rentals downstairs at the front desk. More generous amount of cable channels than a lot of other hotels offer. No password necessary for wi-​fi access. There’s a gas fireplace, soft couch that converts into a bed, plush chair, widescreen LCD TV, dishwasher, big fridge, two-​burner electric stovetop, teapot, 12 cup coffee maker, toaster, dishes, glasses, pots, pans. silverware, paper towels, teapot, salt & pepper shakers, 2 fans, full bath, half bath, & 2 bedrooms. Downstairs you’ll find bikes you can borrow, & a crate full of children’s shovels & buckets.
The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the beach. This beach has a rocky layer, a soft sand layer, & a hard mud layer you can literally ride a bike on, crabs, pelicans, gulls, & an awesome view of the cove. If you keep walking to the right of the hotel, away from the cove, the beach gets smoother & sandier, but more crowded. Go all the way up to the beach off Broadway street to find a wider beach with swings, lifeguard, & a public swimming pool across the street. Bring your kite if you have one.
The lady at the front desk recommended Norma’s & Bigfoot for dinner. Norma’s is not impressive looking on the inside, whereas Bigfoot is a big spectacle, but both had great food. Patty’s Wicker Café is a good breakfast place; a riverside view & build your own omelets.

Liked this hotel a lot. Kitchenette, fireplace, view of the ocean, all very nice. Wifi was problematic at times, which was difficult for some work I had to complete. Good location, romantic with wind and rain blowing outside, while having the fireplace on. Staff friendly, hours while we were here was 0900am to 0900pm for the front office. Would come back in the future.

The Jacuzzi tub, comfortable bed, and view were amazing. They even provide bubbles and bath salts for a lovely soak in the tub.
The staff is friendly. I was very comfortable at the Inn At the Shore.
The décor is a bit dated, but that never bothers me. It’s clean, and that’s what counts.

Even though I gave the Inn At the Shore 4 stars, they have one MASSIVE issue.
Their check-​in time is 4:00 to 5:00 PM. (Yes, you read that correctly. You have a 1-​hour window to check-​in.) Even worse, their confirmation email discloses the check-​in time of 4:00 PM, but doesn’t disclose the cutoff time of 5:00 PM. Houston, we have a problem.
So, you might be wondering if they offer a late check-​out to compensate for their check-​in policy. Nope. The check-​out time is 11:00 AM.
This was my first trip to Seaside, so I’m not sure if these check-​in and check-​out times are standard.

I would recommend the Inn At the Shore to friends, but I would emphasize the check-​in time to ensure they enjoy their reservation. My husband and I arrived at about 4:53 PM. It was stressful.

If you are looking for a clean, quiet place with a great view of the ocean, this is the place. The staff are super friendly and very helpful if you need anything. The room was very nice and has everything you need in it. The single rooms even have a jacuzzi spa tub in them. Very nice after a day on the beach. With a small kitchen set up (coffee pot, microwave, refrigerator and sink) you can be very comfy right there in your room. They also have movies you can watch in your room or if you like, bikes you can also use to ride around town on. Only a mile from the heart of the downtown area, you can walk there in a few minutes along the beach or sidewalk. Reasonably priced and very quiet. My new home away from home at Seaside.

We booked this based on the lowest price for an ocean view and boy did we get much more than that. The third floor has the best views by far, but the trade off is no elevator so be prepared to haul all of your belongings up the stairs. It is worth it if the weather is nice and you can leave your balcony door open for your whole stay the way we did.
The room is large compared to many rooms I have stayed in, and the Jacuzzi tub does not disappoint. They do ask you to use it before 10pm, which even as a night owl was not a problem, the walls were not paper thin but I can see how using them could be loud for the floors below, think hot tub jets indoors. The wet bar area was nice especially travelling with a 10 month old baby. The fireplace adds ambiance, and the television is a newer flat screen which is nice. We had no problem using the wifi and found the speed to be acceptable.
The only reason why they don’t get 5 stars is the bed. Some people like memory foam but if you aren’t used to it, it feels like you are being sucked in and not in a good way. The mattress below the topper is likely old and they are trying to compensate, but money would be better spent just replacing for a more firm mattress.

We had an excellent two bedroom suite. The staff was helpful and friendly and the room was clean. This Inn is at the south end of the «Prom» so we went walking on the Prom every day. There’s a great view of the ocean, a deck, and beach access. We borrowed bicycles from the Inn to ride around Seaside. The kitchenette included everything we needed for small meals. We’ll be back!

We loved this place, close enough to everything, but yet far enough away from the crowds. The staff was friendly and the room was very clean & nice. It even had wine glasses! The bed was very comfy. And a good value for the money. We will be back!

This is a super cute inn. It is RIGHT on the water. There is a boardwalk in front of the hotel and then the beach. The boardwalk is great for walking and the beach is huge. The hotel is very basic but the rooms are very very nice and a good price. The hotel takes dogs which is nice ($ 20) and the rooms have lots of extra room, balconies, fire places, fridges, micros, and much more. The office attendant leaves around 5pm so if you need anything you have to call someone but other than that this place is great!

Booked two nights of Honeymoon here. It got great ratings on Unilocal.We checked in and found out that there are several half truths advertised.
Yes you get a King bed, but it’s about as comfortable as the yard outside to sleep on. Probably because the mattress is so old that the springs are nonexistent. You get WiFi, but the four networks available are virtually nonexistent. At least in room 102. There is a jet tub in the room, but there are limits on the times you can use it. Mainly because the walls are paper thin. When I complained about the WiFi I was told to sit outside and try it. Ummm I didn’t pay $ 200 a night to go outside and use the WiFi, ESPECIALLY when I am but 20 feet to the back of the office where the router sits.
Also, our «Ocean View» is blocked by a bush by the sliding glass door and the bushes closer to the beach. I have posted a picture taken from a sitting position on our bed. The picture they posted next to the «Book it» Tab on their web page shows a nice balcony and the OCEAN. Talk about some false advertising. They did have two things that I wish all hotels had, complimentary bicycles and a jet tub. For that they get two stars.
All in all, I won’t be coming back, EVER! Far too expensive for what you really get. The bed sucks, I woke up with an aching back both mornings. The WiFi sucks. The service is OK. Don’t waste your money.

I rated this a five because it should be a 4.5 and is currently a 4.
it is for the price a great inn.
from last tuesday to thursday my wife and I got a room here. one of the the king jacuzzi suits. it was about 170 for two nights.
for a king size ocean view (nothing but dune between us and the beach) with a jacuzzi that was decent sized and even a little kitchenette (small fridge, small sink, microwave, coffeemaker) and tv and dvd/​vcr with a free library of dvd’s and vhs tapes in the main office and a fireplace that you just turn a switch to turn on, this was a great deal! and the receptionist was very nice too.
so ratings:
Price: 4.5 stars
furnishings (what they are and their quality) :4 (no real bad smells or stains
views and location: 5 its close to everything, and a GREAT view.
overall 4.5
oh and some free salt water taffy at the front desk and in the room: D

It’s a small place located at the end of the prom away from all the downtown crowds.
The rooms are okay, could be updated some but it’s how most beach hotels are, a little worn. We got a great deal for July, stated 2 nights and the 3^rd was free! They moved us for the 3^rd night to a upgrated room, huge deck and 2bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The only drawback, there is no elevator. The ocean view was awesome!!!

We ended up staying here because we didn’t make a reservation and it was the first place we could find that wasn’t booked. We were very pleasantly surprised.
Our room opened up right onto the promenade, and when we first checked into our room we enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the beach right from our patio.
My favorite thing about this place, though, was that they had a few old beach cruisers that we were able to borrow and went on a nice bike ride through Seaside and picked blackberries on the way back. Granted, the bikes were kind of old and wobbly, but it was definitely an unexpected perk.
The tub was great for a cooldown after our bike ride and that is all I’m going to say about that. :)
All in all, it was a little more than we try to pay for motels, but I would love to go back to this place any time.
