If you’re looking to get away from the noise of more popular busy costal tourist destinations, this is the place for you. Tucked away in Ilwaco right on the pier is the perfect affordable little stay. With an attached bar and restaurant it makes for all the things you need in one place. Clean room, clean bedding and respectful staff and guests made this trip 1000x better. Highly recommended.

We have a very small room with good light. It’s fresh, clean and decor minimal but on trend. I LOVE the down comforter! Cant believe this simple motel uses such high end bedding. I brought my own coffee for a pour over because motels usually do t offer good branded coffee but I didn’t need to. They provide an electric kettle for hot water which I’ve never seen before. It’s also refreshing to see solar panels on the roof. They also provide locally made soaps which is also mindful and environmentally conscious, no plastic bottles. We are just so impressed. We also had some of the best fish tacos outside of Mexico while looking at the harbor downstairs in the pub. My guess of the age of this motel build was late 60’s or 70’s when the builders failed to see the harbor as a desired view so the profile of the units are directed to the street rather than the river. Only 2 units face the harbor which next time we book will ask for those units. We love the outdoor communal spaces but it’s still too cold to enjoy. Overall, this is a gem that exceeds the cost value.

A quiet little corner that deserves exploring. The Salt Hotel overlooks an active fisherman’s harbor. The sea air rejuvenates. It’s a simple room well kept and most adequate for exploring the area. Of notable mention- the attached restaurant. Although we didn’t get a chance to eat there on this trip it’s been a favorite on that coast. I’d say it’s the most authentic Cioppino you’ll find. Friendly bar hosting some interesting local characters. We will continue to visit the Salt Hotel.

Nice King room with a view of the marina. We were disappointed that the restaurant wasn’t open while we were there. (Two restaurants near each other and both closed on Wednesdays didn’t make sense to us.) We enjoyed the nearby bookstore.

The wait time for a bar stool? 30.minutes?!? And then was seated at a table, told it was shift change and we would.be waited on...fast forward another 30.minutes and told oops sorry! Let me get your order....took our order and then served fish golden on outside and cold on inside and my tuna melt was melted on top and cold in . Middle..my old fashioned was awful....I take sweetener in tea and offered none ..paid the bill ....but won't be back for.food...the room.was.even.worse...when offered to freshen room told staff just empty trash and replace coffee service... didn't happen..when showering got.an instant freeze of water with a flush of the toilet....was really disappointed in stay overall...booked and paid for.2 nights but left SAT night after we found the not even trash empty or.coffee replaced. Good luck with staff....no one at desk at all to even let know that we left and why....staff was not available to tell us how to work the lock ...had to.figure out that you have to lock it it doesn't automatically do.this....not cool .

The property was rundown and dirty, a very common thing in a smaller beach town but for the price, it was not very good. $677 for two nights seemed outrageous. I wish I had canceled also for that price you would think there would be Shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom nothing at all. Just a bar, it was a big party weekend for the car show so a lot of rowdy drunks raising hell throughout the night didn’t make it very easy to sleep, I won’t be coming back.

A nice area by the docks. Office was usually closed but if you needed something you had to text. The pub was not open everyday. The room was clean and had all the necessary items. I wasn't impressed with the bathroom and the ceiling lights didn't work.
