This hidden gem was amazing. If we pass by this way again we will definitely try to stay here again! I was looking for a room with a nice ocean view since this was kind of a once-in-a-lifetime trip. I came across this and said "why not?" Best decision I could have made. When you pull up in the parking lot, it doesn't seem that impressive. When we went into the room, that's where the establishment shines. The room was cozy and comfortable. It had everything you could possibly think of on hand. The view was so breathtaking. It was a bit chilly outside when we arrived, but that didn’t stop us from sitting out on the porch and watching the waves and the sunset. We just had the temp set indoors so we were nice and warm once we came in. It was an easy drive to find food. It was a great location to explore more of the Coast. I just wish we had more time to spend here because there was so much to see and do. The room itself was quiet. We didn’t hear much noise from neighbors and the place seemed full. We were very sad to leave. We had a really nice chat with the proprietor when we were checking out. It's nice to feel like you spent your money wisely and staying here accomplished that for sure. My only complaint was the fact that sand follows you everywhere after you've been walking in it. I think we're still finding it and we've been home for over a month! It was easy access to the beach, so the sand is entirely on us... In short, great place to stay. No regrets!

Incredibly great value on the oceans' edge, near Newport and Nye Beach. Great outdoor area with fire pit and bbq. Private steps to a beautiful beach with very few people. Quiet. Well appointed, comfy bed, great wifi and tv options. Super clean and quiet. Great views. Lovely caretakers. Best deal to stay at the coast!

Beautiful less populated beach

This seems to be the last hotel/motel on the north end of Newport, where the space between Hwy 101 and the beach narrows. Moolack Shores Inn rests on a low cliff, with stairs direct to Moolack Beach. The beach is unique from others around it, with a fascinating variety of rocky formations and tide pools, and few people. These features, and views from rooms at the inn are the big wins. Couple of things to note: The gaslit modern fire pit shown online is really just a pit for a wood fire - just fine but you must supply wood so pick it up on your way. Also, if you’re bringing a dog, ask for the paperwork up front. Overall, the inn is quirky in a mostly fun way, and quite comfortable. Beach is pure magic.

When we arrived our key was not in the door and it was locked. Per instructions I called Peggy. She came right over and found someone went into our room. She offered the room next door but me knees are bad and the shower was cumbersome. She gave us an upgrade to full ocean view and I've never been happier with a mix up. The sunset was right in front of us on our deck! Great place to stay.

Awful, don’t recommend pics are misleading

Was awful management was very rude and super intrusive. Left within ten min. Room was infested with mold. Sheets were urine stained and had bodily fluids all over them. The light switches and handles and floor boards were covered in dirt and grime. They wouldn’t refund my money. Blamed me for this somehow though I was not at the hotel for more then ten min. I broke out in hives and the manager claimed my child was being so loud we apparently had complaints. My child was outside by the car away from the building. Everyone around our room was very kind and their children smiled and said hello, nobody was unkind aside from the manager.

This was a great place right in the ocean. Friendly staff with easy check in and out. The room was a bit outdated and worn but very clean and comfortable. The only issue we had was that WiFi never worked. All in all it was a good stay and I would recommend.

This hotel has great location. But the staff at the hotel are hard to contact for any issues. I had issues with the electricity going off completely & I could not find the staff to help me. After asking a nice couple in the room to help me, the staff finally came to solve the issue. After that I thought I would watch TV but the TV would not work. They have a lot of cheap stuff filling up the room but they need to focus on the main issues with facilities working in the room for the guest.
