The property was close to the beach and close to most ocean shores beaches. However, the deck on our room was rotting and angled down and away. We found mystery brown stains on the couch. The water pressure in shower was very low. It advertised 2 bathrooms, it is actually 1 and a half bathroom. One of the bedrooms the windows opened into the hallway which means you don't want them open. Also, the shampoo and conditioner they offered free of charge smells like chemicals bring your own. This property is not worth the price, it felt like a rundown apartment complex.

I have stayed at this Canterbury Inn many times. Almost every other vacation to the WA coast. I have stayed in this exact room 3 times. This is the first we had a very poor experience. Cleanliness was poor. Our dishwasher filter had pet hair, sand and old food stuck in the filter trap. The dishes in the cabinet had dried stuck on food. I used the outside hose at the sand washing station to clean the filter. The gentleman during the nightshift at the counter was super nice and helpful but I couldn't wait till the next morning to do the dishes. We needed clean ones the next morning. Pots and pans felt oily and had residue. We basically washed everything before we could use it. We had 4 families total at the Inn and 2 out 4 had similar experiences. We were all on different floors or halls. Our neighbors were loud! Playing loud music after 10pm. Barking dogs during the night. Dogs were unleashed outside. We basically didnt sleep for a few days. We checked out earlier than anticipated and cut our stay short due the neighbors. Again the gentleman at the night desk was super kind but his hands were tied. The only bathroom with a shower didn't have a working ceiling fan vent. We never heard back from housekeeping or maintenance. We placed one of the provided box fans in the bathroom to provide circulation. Overall it wasn't the experience we have had in the past.
