The two rooms have their own private bathrooms in the suites so there's no overlap and makes it very private. The kitchen is totally functional and the location is unbeatable!

Clementines has that same charm and history which adds to the experience. The location was ideal in that it was within walking distance of the river front and downtown area, w/in driving distance to areas of interest like, the Astoria Column, the beaches and parks and more importantly all the "Goonie" sights! Clementines itself was great. The innkeeper was very nice and helpful with any questions that we had about what to do or where to go. Our room was...."roomy".....comfortable and full of personality. Clementines also allows pets which is a nice consideration so we were able to bring our puppy along for the trip. The breakfast was simple yet good with a very homey feel sitting around the breakfast table chatting with the other people staying over and with the innkeeper and her help. We would definitely recommend staying here if you ever find yourself in Astoria....you should make reservations first.....and there's no minimum stay, so stay for a night, two nights or more. We were short on time, but you can bet we'll be back to search for One-eyed-Willie's treasure..and when we do we'll be staying at Clementines Bed & Breakfast.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and the room was huge. It was almost the equivalent of a two bedroom. The bed was comfortable, and so where the pillows. The heated floor in the bathroom was definitely a plus. I wasn't too trilled about their breakfast food but they had plenty of options for coffee syrups and teas. The location is great and there were plenty of restaurants and bars around.

    First and foremost, I will commend the staff for their positive attitudes and attentiveness…read more It's important to note that the Victorian Era was between 1840 and 1900. The City of Astoria requires that any business use its legal name in all advertisements, including Airbnb listings, so as not to mislead the public. I give special tribute to Ingrid, who works in the wine bar. She's personable, professional, and very enjoyable to interact with. However, this property, as they advertise on Airbnb, is not a Victorian property as they described. This false description was a deciding factor for me to stay at the Elliott Hotel, which they do not mention. Had I known that it was a hotel--which was horribly overpriced--I would have gone elsewhere. I was assigned the wrong room. In the ad with Airbnb, it stated (with a picture that was very attractive) that this was my room until I arrived at the Elliott Hotel, constructed in 1924. This is misleading information. The Victorian Era was between 1840 and 1900. When I read "Victorian property," I was under the impression it was a Victorian home built in the 1880s or 1890s, with elaborate carpentry and design. When I initially arrived in Astoria on the 17th, I was surprised to discover it wasn't what I thought. Things started escalating from there. When I told the front desk that I had booked through Airbnb and that I had prepaid, they told me at that time that they don't have a relationship with them. Immediately I was ill-informed. I corrected them, saying, "You do have a relationship with them; otherwise, I would not be here." Even though I prepaid $235.00 for the first night, I was charged twice. The unauthorized transaction caused a significant problem, which was resolved on the spot the following morning, very early. I want to commend Atticus for bringing a quick resolve by reversing the charges on the spot when I brought it to his attention. Nevertheless, this is something that should never happen, especially when they were informed the day before that the room was prepaid. When I expressed my concerns the next day, they would not inform me who made the error, and they did not take responsibility for their actions. Instead, they blamed Airbnb. And there was no apology. As a customer, I was terribly misrepresented and, at the same time, insulted by management. When a guest experiences such a significant setback, there should be an immediate apology. I suggest that anybody reading this review do their due diligence in finding an Airbnb that offers great value for every dollar spent. Because of the ad, I doubled my budget, thinking that I was staying in a beautiful Victorian property--but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I would recommend that you keep looking. It's one thing to pay $225.00 for a room, but it's another thing not getting the room which Airbnb promised. When I brought my concerns to the front desk, they made excuses, took no responsibility for their actions, and again offered no apology. The same happened when they made an unauthorized payment after I had already prepaid. The Elliott Hotel management may argue they reversed my charges--but they were obligated to. This should have never happened, especially when I told them the room was prepaid. I have a right to know the name of the person who made the error, but they kept that a secret. Apparently, the City of Astoria requires that a business use its legal business name in any advertisement. It did not appear in the Airbnb ad that I read. Naturally, staff blamed Airbnb rather than admitting they were at fault. Unfortunately, because of the circumstances, I had no choice but to stay a second night. Included are images of the room I was in (404). Since I'm leaving this morning, I apologize for the photos, but I wanted to share them nevertheless for your benefit. Because of the things that happened, I feel obligated to warn the public: ask the right questions before booking.

Every corner of every room was quaintly and beautifully decorated. You could clearly see the pride of ownership everywhere you looked. The inn-keeper made us a different fresh breakfast each of our two mornings here. She was very friendly and we enjoyed talking with her while we ate breakfast. She was very helpful in answering our questions and making recommendations for places in town to visit and dine. Astoria is an older, well-established town with period buildings. At no time did we feel unsafe staying here, there were no signs of homelessness in the vicinity; the area around the B&B was no different than any of the many areas of Astoria that we visited. We parked our car right in front of the B&B on both nights, without any problem or issues. We would gladly stay here again!

Highlights of our trip included: * The Room & Views: Having a suite gave us great extra space, and the views of the Columbia River were unbeatable. * The Amenities: We loved the complimentary hot breakfast (with a live omelet station!), grabbing an early evening drink in the lounge, and the 7 PM cookies. * The Location: It's perfectly situated right on the river walk and just steps away from great places to eat. * The Spa: We both had incredible massages. I usually find resort massages to be hit or miss, but our therapist, Breanne, was phenomenal. She knew exactly what she was doing and finally removed a knot I've had for weeks! Highly recommend booking a stay (and a massage with Breanne)!"

The front desk staff, bartenders, and maid staff were all so friendly and helpful. Check in is a breeze and the rooms are impeccable. There is also a fresh breakfast bar every morning (and a chef that makes omelets and eggs to your liking)! The pool is situated with a great view and has an actual Swedish sauna right there for a quick steam (with water rocks and everything). I could go on and on about how amazing everything is, but the view of the bridge alone is worth the stay. Come stay here to see for yourself!

It is very accessible from Portland and the drive there is beautiful, and when you arrive at your destination you immediately feel at peace. Brian and Linda do a great job of making you feel welcome. We brought our own snacks and had a picnic in the gazebo and enjoyed the view of the river, which is so wide at that point that it almost gives the visual of being at the ocean as ships rolled by. We stayed in the Hummingbird Room which has a very comfortable bed and a wonderful view out of the window. The rates are very affordable and include breakfast - Brian is a great cook and they offer several meal options. We added the firewood package and were so glad we did, as I type this I wish I could be back there next to the fire while looking at the river. They only have two rooms so if you went with some friends you would have the whole place to yourselves. This really is a hidden gem and I highly recommend making the trip while you can.

This is not your typical bed and breakfast. The property is completely independent so you're the only guest onsite. The home is beautiful, modern, well appointed, extremely clean and so comfortable. It has tall ceilings and large windows with breathtaking views of Astoria and the Columbia River. There is a fully equipped kitchen with an island, minus the oven. The upstairs area is a comfy sitting area which hubby used for reading. The perfect place you wanted to call home when you're away from home. Rafael was the perfect host. He greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the property. Every morning he prepared delicious hot breakfast and coffee for us. The refrigerator was fully stocked with water, juice and beer. There was even sparkling wine if you wanted to make mimosas in the morning. The bathroom had a towel rack that can warm/dry your towels before and after shower, which I absolutely loved. Who doesn't like a warm towel after shower? It's a 5-star bed and breakfast because every little detail was put into this place and I can't wait to come back and stay with Rafael the next time I'm in Astoria!
