This hotel was really fun. It is great for families and kids. I loved that it was safe, you could buy the things you liked in the room, and they had their own vibe. The place was generally pretty clean and very comfortable. They had local goat soap, decorative pillow covers, used books, and cute coffee mugs, and all the supplies you need for puppers. The only suggestions for improvement I have is, I would recommend that more attention be focused on cleaning as there was a large spider with a large web in the lamp next to my head. Also, the staff took about 10-15 minutes to get us checked in. The beds were a bit squeaky for romance. I would still say it is worth it. Thank you. It made our trip so special. :) if/ when we come back, this is my new favorite place.

Great stay in Ilwaco!

A simple independent hotel room with a refreshed feel. Nice towels, new cork flooring, etc. we booked same day and had smooth sailing with prompt and thorough communications. Cute little harbor area too!

Before Salt Hotel and Pub opened or reopened(?) we only thought of Ilwaco as a fishing stop. Now for us it’s a destination! Great food and drinks at the pub, cozy comfy rooms, minutes from Long Beach and Astoria. Highly recommend!

Mixed opinion

Let me start by saying we would probably stay here again just not in tue same room. We loved the ease of check in and communication by text. The bed was super comfortable. The cons…. A little noisy with the window open and people sitting in the courtyard area. The bathroom was a big issue. The large, loud drip of the shower the entire stay was super annoying and the bathroom door had a terrible squeek and loudly scraped the wooden threshold. Every nighttime bathroom trip woke the other up.

What a cool little port motel. It's very clean and has all the amenities you need. Ilwaco is close to everything and this would be a great base if you wanted to do some charter fishing. My only knock is that the walls a a bit thin. This is only a problem when people are outside yelling or whistling at each other. The rooms are small and comfy. I knocked a star off staff because there wasn't one. Our bed was cozy. The towels are fluffy. The soaps smell nice. Give Salt a try.

Just Okay

Pros: Location on wharf next to a few fun stores. Restaurant on site. Lower price. Easy drive to Long Beach Peninsula. Cons: small room, poorly appointed - no ice, no Kleenex, no hair conditioner, no closet, hooks on wall above microwave & coffee area so unable to use for clothing, restaurant closed 2 days per week and there is nothing in town, no one on sight - all digital, shower stall small and shower head unable to move so a short person could not easily rinse hair (nose right up against shower wall), no air conditioning for summer heat but that is typical for area (small fan included and we could keep window open because we were at the end).
