    View from the Tradition.
    Nate C.

    My partner and I stayed here for our four year anniversary and had an excellent stay! We loved the room (the Tradition has a great view), the staff was friendly, and the food at the pub is amazing. I highly recommend staying here.

    Bourbon Apple Crumble Bread Pudding. None of the advertised 'bourbon caramel sauce' anywhere.

    Disclaimer: This review is for the pub only. We did NOT stay at the hotel. Honestly, this review should probably be a 2.5 star review. But until Yelp changes that, I'm going to err on the side of caution - 2 stars, since we were more disappointed than excited. I'll start with this - the best item we had was the Garden Salad. Fresh, tasty. But it was still a garden salad. Good thing they didn't mess that up. My wife had the Pork Verde Stew, which had good flavor, but there was too much fatty pork present. I ordered the Chicken Waffle sliders. The description on the menu is accurate, but this item should probably be renamed - Chicken Biscuit Sliders. The slider buns are just biscuits made in a waffle iron, to look like waffles. The spicy maple aioli was almost non-existent. In fact, that seemed to be a theme - items served that day in July were too dry; too little sauce. The beer selection was limited, as was the wine selection. And the wine pours are really light, very short of six ounces; probably closer to four. Service was slow, especially for such a small venue. And for some reason, we ordered dessert. Bourbon Apple Crumble Bread Pudding. $8. This is the description on the menu: "Tender Washington apples in creamy custard and croissant bread pudding, topped with cinnamon crumble and bourbon caramel sauce." Take a look at the picture I submitted of our dessert. You'll notice there isn't any bourbon caramel sauce - or sauce of any kind - in that picture. Not on the pudding, not over the whipped cream, and certainly not drizzled anywhere on the plate. The pudding itself was warm on the outside but cold on the inside, as if it were microwaved. It was just bad. Maybe they're still working out the kinks. We were there in early July of 2019. Maybe the service and food quality will improve over time.

    Spent an hour driving around Long Beach looking for a place to eat. Being in this area, we wanted seafood. Ended up at the Waterline Pub at the Helm Hotel. I cannot say enough about the food. It was fresh and fantastic. Clam steamers... forget about it! Dungeness crab bisque? Good lord almighty! Everything was soooo good! Service was excellent and its a crime that this place wasn't as packed as the others. Want amazing food? Come here. Forget the other places. Waterline is where it is at! Cheers!

    Brunch was delicious! Washington beers available on tap, and in a couple size variations. Husband had chicken waffle sliders with tots, I had crab quiche with a microgreen salad. Both were presented well and tasted great. Would recommend to both locals and tourists alike, as an adult oriented dining experience.

    I attended Arts Week at Sou'wester Lodge and had a wonderful time! The setting alone is stunning…read more Seaview has this quiet, windswept beauty that slows you down in the best way. You're close to the ocean, surrounded by trees, and there's this constant sense of spaciousness that lets your mind open up. It creates the perfect conditions for artists to think, feel, and make work. What makes Arts Week truly special, though, is the people. The group of artists is diverse, thoughtful, and deeply engaged. You're in conversation all day long, whether that's over shared meals, spontaneous collaborations, or late night talks that somehow become the most meaningful part of the experience. It's rare to find a space where people show up this open and this willing to connect. The programming strikes a great balance. There's structure when you want it, like readings, performances, and workshops, but also plenty of unstructured time to follow your own creative instincts. There's also a real sense of care built into the week. The staff and organizers are thoughtful and attentive, and you can feel that they want everyone there to succeed!

    My husband and I drove by the Sou'wester over a year ago when we were visiting Seaview for a day…read moretrip. We thought it looked like a fun place to stay considering we love all things vintage and staying in a vintage RV sounded like the kind of nostalgia we would appreciate. A few months pass and we decided to book a 3 night trip for our 12th wedding anniversary. We arrived on Saturday afternoon right at check in and we found the staff friendly and attentive. After check in we drove down to our camp site. They leave the doors unlocked after check out/"cleaning" so the key was sitting in the unit. This also means anyone can come into your unit before you even check in. The outside of the RV was, as expected, worn down but that's a part of the charm. Upon entering, we were hit with the smell of mildew/mold and a extremely warm trailer due to the heater being left on and it being late June. We turned off the heater and attempted to open up the windows, but alas they were'nt all fuctioning. Our 3 dogs couldnt even be in the unit without over heating so we set up their playpen outside. Half the flooring was either peeling up or gone all together. The walls had'nt been cleaned and had a film on them. The seating area did'nt fold down into additional bedding (another broken item), the toilet was dirty and still had urine on it and the bathroon walls were peeling. We weren't looking for a 5 star hotel but for the price we were paying per night we expected more. We settled in for the evening and tried to make the most of it and chalk it up to a new experience. The next day, after waking up and taking the dogs for a walk to the beach we decided to relax at the campsite and decided we could set up out tent (other camp sites had tents on them) to add additional living space. As we were lying out the tent in our area a woman approached us. She didn't introduce herself just started making comments about the tent, and the dogs, and the playpen. Again, no introduction, no pleasantries, just came in HOT. My husband tried to deescalate the conversation however the woman kept interrupting him and talking over him. He reached out his hand to introduce himself and thats when she finally paused and offered her name, Mary. She let us know if we wanted to put up a tent we would need to pay an additional $35.00. We explained to her we weren't expecting additional guests and that the tent was meerely for additional outdoor space. Again, she was coming in hot like we were trying to pull a fast one over on her. I explained that no where was I told tents were additional. I was not paying them any additional money due to the price we already paid and the comfort of the unit. Mary contiously spoke to my husband ignoring me all together. She was telling him what to do and how to do it and she came off extremely aggressive. We said we would speak to management and that's when Mary let us know she was the manager but was off duty so we could take it up with another manager. My husband is a POC and Mary presented as white and while the lodging advertised itself as diverse and inclusive we did not have that experience with Mary. My husband asked Mary for some space and it took asking several repeated times for her to finally leave. After she left, we decided this was not a place for us to stay. My husband started packing and I went to let reception know what had happened and that we were checking out. The staff at reception was very accommodating. I told them what had happened and they were confused as to why a tent would be such an issue with Mary. They tried offering additional things for us to stay and I refused. They asked if I wanted to speak to Mary again, and I said no. I did not want to speak to her ever again. The staff said they would talk it over with a manager but I let them know we were definitely leaving. We drove the 2 hours home. On our anniversary with cancelled dinner reservations and hurt in our hearts. Do better. Understand how you come across as a person of privilege when speaking down to a POC. I hope this is a learning experience for Mary. I checked my email today and she refunded our entire amount.

    Just like my room growing up in Minnesota! Clean, sweet, and simple. Great service and very comfy…read morebed.

    So, I pulled up & saw the office sign. I went in and it wasn't an office, it was a laundry…read moreroom/cleaning closet. So I went back out & closed the door behind me thinking I had made a mistake. So as if the room had changed, I opened the door again & went in expecting to see a hotel lobby. But to my surprise I was still in a laundry room/cleaning closet. I was very confused at this point, wanting to check in. So I went back into my car & called them. The lady said she was on her way over & met me at the same "office" door. She walked in, pulled down a makeshift shelf that made the laundry room look a little more like the place you'd check in. And we were given the key etc. Room 1 is what we got & here's the review: upon first examination it's definitely musty. It's old, the carpet is pretty bad & has rugs on it on the worst parts. So keep your shoes on. The comforter smells. I immediately took it off & put it on the floor. If you saw my pics you know that furniture is old, stuff is rusted & chipped. Room 1 is facing the street so you get some noise from semi trucks going by at night. The door is on its last leg. But besides all that, it was clean, the bed was comfortable & it was inexpensive. Staying here felt like I had gone to stay at my aunts house out in the country & had popped in unexpectedly needing to stay in one of her old rooms. It has that kind of old "homely stuff thrown together" feeling to it. (And I'm not implying that my real aunts are anything like that. Just sayin) Over all I would recommend this place if you need a cheap quick sleep. But I'd probably stay somewhere else next time. Somewhere w cleaner carpets.
