    Lovely view from room

    The staff was super nice and even tried to alleviate our issue with a different room we went for a 3 nights on the second night our backs were killing us due to a rock hard mattress we are on the heavy side but when my wife who doesn't suffer from a bad back says let's head home a day early on our anniversary i cannot help but feel compelled to let people know if your a larger person these beds are not up to the challenge. Beautiful hotel nice rooms beds need updated!

    "Exceptional & Memorable Stay at Kathryn Riverfront Inn, Seaside, OR" Kathryn Riverfront Inn in May was nothing short of stellar exceeding all my expectations! The Manager Brienne (sp) deserves special recognition for her exceptional attentiveness and genuine care and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. She seems to be dedicated to ensuring that every guest feels valued which truly sets Kathryn Riverfront Inn apart. Thank you to Management and her attentive staff with impeccable service throughout my stay. Clean and pristine condition of hotel room, the facilities, common areas and breakfast/kitchen area. Meticulous care is taken to maintain a spotless environment. Free chowder, beautiful fireplace to lounge in, the 24-hour spot clean pool, Jacuzzi, and hot sauna offered a perfect way to unwind with free Wi-Fi, incredible complimentary HOT full breakfast buffet especially while seated in a very large rustic medieval design kitchen and bar. Absolutely beautiful!! I eagerly look forward to my next visit very soon.

    My first time ever! What an attractive tourist city. I read the reviews, some not so flattering. However, I found this hotel to be very enjoyable and met my needs well. Nicely appointed, appears to be well maintained. I opted to choose my room, with a view from the balcony, through the Choice Hotels app, also available on the Choice Hotels website. This hotel did not disappoint! The front desk was staffed with friendly clerks, the reception area had coffee, cider and hot chocolate available. Check with the front desk about the 5 pm Smoked Salmon Chowder offering. As I looked around, the 1st floor pool looked inviting. They also have a dry sauna and hot tub Above the pool on the 2nd floor is the dining area, presently open for complimentary breakfast from 7-9:30am daily. Also at the end of the hallway is the laundry room, washer ($2) and dryer ($1). Directly above the laundry is the fitness room on the 3rd floor. I understand that the bar area on the 2nd floor is slated to open during the 2023 tourist season. I had a very satisfying stay. There are so many eateries and watering holes to visit. Stores selling all sorts of vacation souvenirs and such abound in this town. The beach is just two blocks away. Everything is within walking distance. This has been one of the most enjoyable lodgings that I have ever used! If you are looking for an affordable stay, I wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn's Riverfront Inn.

    As always what a great stay and the staff was great and friendly we loved your room we decided to go to seaside for our anniversary we stay here all the time it is our absolutely our favorite place to stay its so nice that you can walk all over town and never have to move your car

    10:00 PM.  No curtain

    This place could have been nice. The biggest complaint is that they turn on a bright light outside your window on the patio and you can't turn it off. They do not have a black-out curtain (or any kind of curtain) for the door. The door has little blinds inside the door that do not keep out any light. Attached is a photo of what it was like all night long. I called to ask if they could turn the light off and they said they couldn't, but they would give me a sleep mask. This tells me they know about the problem and are unwilling to spend $100 for some curtains. Also the room was $400/night and not worth it. The decor is very dated and nicked.

    Pool was closed (Covid) Hot Breakfast can't be served (but they offered bag breakfast ...muffin, orange, cheese, banana ,granola bars and milk) My kids loved the comfy beds lots of pillows. We loved the little back porch where you can see the little river. Loved the big tv. Clean rooms. There was a big leather chair and a rolling desk chair so everyone could spread out. My kids loved this hotel!

    After this 5-night stay here, which was our second stay here ( had a 4-night stay with the Grandkids 4 mo previous ), we would give zero "stars" if could. Not worth the $1975.05 and hassle we had to endure! Upon arrival, when receptionist was taking my credit card, the wrong amount showed up after I entered my card. I made a comment that it must be incorrect but I "wish mine was only $1300"! Receptionist at next computer said "oops I sent this over to your computer". She then went on to send it over twice more while my receptionist was trying to get me checked in! My receptionist said my card had "been declined" although there was many times over our stay available in that account, so I knew right away that they had incorrectly charged me for my stay PLUS the one the other receptionist was somehow sending over to my credit card machine! I asked the receptionist if I had been charged for both and she said she "didn't think so", yet said again in front of other guests that my card was declined. I was so humiliated at this point that I walked out to get my Husband to come from the car and we called our credit union while on speaker so the receptionist could hear. The credit union at that time only saw the correct charge and stated there should be no problem with the card. My receptionist went on to say she "used to work at a bank so she didn't think both charges had gone through" but she also never offered to contact my bank or double check. Then... two days later we tried to use the same card for dinner and it was declined! I right away checked our account to see that on that same day ( two days after I checked in), not only was the $2025.05 charge for our room pending, but also the $1300 charge for someone else's stay! They went ahead and charged my card when the other person checked out even knowing that there had been a mistake. That should have been double checked and cleared up in the system on the day I checked in given they knew what has happened! I immediately told front desk and she said she "couldn't do anything since the manager wasnt in 'til next morning but would leave mgr. Jill a note so she could contact me immediately on arrival at 9:00am the next day". I called my bank as soon as they opened that next day and they said because we had a daily limit as this card is a debit/credit card, the two pending charges from this hotel were taking up our limit, we could not use the card until it was released. I then called down to speak to Jill whom said she would call the bank and "give me a courtesy call back". I hadnt heard back from Jill so I called down again and she said she couldn't call my bank until her "other gal got to work, so would be after 10:00 am and that she was going to give us credit for that day". Finally at11:30am Jill called and said she spoke with the bank. Upon checkout the receipt I was given still wasn't easy to comprehend so my Husband said just keep an eye on the account a few days since Jill wasnt there at the time to speak with to see if she had given us any credit as she said she was going to. Finally today, we were charged $1975.... no credit for all the hell we experienced due to a negligent receptionist, whom for whatever reason, was sending someome elses room charges to our room, not just once but repeatedly! As far as the hotel itself, "boutique" is an overstatement! We had cobwebs on the ceilings, one old chair on the balcony, the lighting is very dim even with 5 lamps in the room, the carpet is older and needs to be cleaned, one of the dressers from a room is sitting outside on the boardwalk below the balcomies and what appeared to be local druggies were stashing food in it. Breakfast is lacking for sure! In addition to the odd hours (7:00-9:30) there aren't very appealing choices unless you want to nuke a frozen sausage or nasty burrito. There were no fresh fruits or jams available any day, even at beginning of breakfast hours, the eggs were rubbery. Don't try to get any of their flavored water in the evening. Receptionist said they usually empty them around 7:00pm but it was more like 6.30. Same car allowed in the disabled parking space every day that never had a placard or disabled license plate, or oversize trucks and motorcycle trailer taking up two spaces on 3 of the nights. Barely got any sleep the last night due to people in next room running jetted tub til 3:00am so were just eager to leave. Will be letting Choice Hotels know that this isnt as "boutique" as they claim ( the rooms need an update) and that the manager needs to do more to turn a negative experience like this into a more positive one and follow through. We usually stay at Rivertide Suites nearby so will stay there or across the street at River Inn from now on.

    Wonderful quaint hotel. We had a lovely stay here and were pleasantly surprised at how clean the…read morehotel was. Got to enjoy a heated pool, sauna, bathrobes, and a complimentary breakfast basket for such a reasonable price. Would definitely be staying here again.

    This was one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had…read more While we were away, hotel staff allowed other guests into our room because of a "double booking" error. Those guests, together with hotel staff, removed our personal belongings and took them to the front desk without our knowledge or permission. When we returned, we were told there was nothing the hotel could do because it was "an error in their booking system." That's not an excuse--it's the hotel's responsibility to manage its reservations without violating guests' privacy and security. I contacted Booking.com, and they reached out to the hotel on our behalf. We requested a refund since strangers had been allowed into our room and had handled our personal belongings. The hotel refused, claiming they weren't responsible because the mistake was caused by their online booking system. Blaming your own system instead of taking responsibility is unacceptable. To make matters worse, the staff was completely unprofessional and showed no concern for what had happened. There was no apology, no accountability, and no attempt to make the situation right. We paid nearly $600 for a single night, only to have our privacy violated and our belongings handled by strangers. If a hotel is willing to let other people into your occupied room because of an internal mistake, how can anyone feel safe staying there? Avoid this hotel. If they can let strangers into your room once, they can do it again.
