    Looking out, at the bay, from the common room, while enjoying my morning coffee.

    The hotel was warm and inviting. The decor makes me feel like I'm staying at grandmas. We had room #1, which was quite spacious and had a full bath and tub. It is right next to the common room which we spend a lot of time in reading and drinking tea. There is also a great view of the bay from our window. There was only two pillows (and that were lumpy). I should have asked for more. I would stay here again. I was glad There was no children here because I was able to relax (kids would be bored here anyway).

    We arrived at the Old Wheeler around 7p.m. after spending the day driving from Ocean Shores, WA and making some stops along the way in Cannon Beach, OR et cetera. From their website, you get to choose the room you'd like to book for any given night. When I made the reservation online (for room #6), I received a phone call about 10 minutes later from the hotel asking what my guest's name was for their records. When we arrived, we had a personalized printed tag on the door saying "Welcome Brooke & Josh", which was a nice touch. Before the clerk took us to our room, she gave us a tour of the common area where there are a couple of couches to sit on, where the continental breakfast in the morning would be served, and they have a small collection of books to choose from if you'd rather read than watch television. They have an assortment of hot chocolate, tea and coffee, along with filtered water to choose from at any time of the day AND they have a selection of the 20 greatest American movies of all time, on DVD, to watch in your room. Yes, the room is equipped with a DVD player (and I assume the rest of the rooms here are as well). There is also a "piano room" with a piano and love seat to lounge about on if you're so inclined. The private bathroom "down the hall" is in fact, down the hall, but is also private. The key you're given to your room unlocks your room and the private bathroom, so no other guests can creep in and look through your toiletries. It's a bit inconvenient to have to walk down the hall in the middle of the night, but hey, you take what you can. I'd have to say all the additional amenities make up for the trek down the hall. Additionally, they don't have the cheap and cheesy toiletries you find in the run of the mill joints you can find anywhere. I'm definitely a fan of the E.O. (Essential Oil products) grapefruit and mint glycerine soap. All in all, I would definitely stay here again based on my experience thus far. Additionally, all you have to do is walk across the street to a cute little park bench and relax for a bit. Oh, and the continental breakfast begins at 7 and is open till "whenever" which is great for those of us who have a hard time getting up early on our vacation! :)

    I have stayed several times here over many years. I love the ambiance. It is filled with antiques and warmth. I love sitting in the dining area and looking out at the water view. Katie, the owner is a treasure.

    My now husband and I have been coming to the Old Wheeler Hotel for years! In fact, it was the first hotel we stayed at together on the coast. So of course it only made sense to return for our honeymoon especially since they now have a beautiful honeymoon suite with a comfortable king size bed and an in room jacuzzi tub! This is the perfect hotel for a romantic getaway with the one you love! We plan to keep going back for years to come!

    See all

    Nightmare. The owner of this company tried to gaslight me into staying in a house infested with…read moreants. Pull up a chair. It's... it's actually shocking how unprofessional this woman was. We rented a $230/night house (called HAVEN) for a family birthday getaway. The day after we checked in, we discovered an infestation of ants all over the kitchen and in the living room - they were in the kitchen cupboards, on the counter, all over the floor (see pics). It was really disgusting. I cleaned up hundreds of ants and they were still everywhere. I felt like I had ants all over my body. I was in distress. This is not the $230/night deluxe experience I had envisioned. I sent photos to this management company and called them immediately. The first person I spoke to said that they were MADE AWARE THE HOUSE HAD ANTS, a week ago - but thought they had fixed the problem. She offered to send a maintenance person to check things out, but said the options would be to spray chemicals (I had my dog there, and wouldn't allow this), or to use a sugar wash, which, she explained, would make the problem worse before it got better. Oh, super. I told her that I was really uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. Neither of these options would work and I didn't want anyone else in the house due to COVID. She did not offer any additional options, so in my distress, I relented and said the maintenance person could come at least check things out. They gave me 30 minutes to vacate for the maintenance person. It was pouring down rain so a bit inconvenient but... ok. A few minutes later as we were preparing to vacate, I opened up a cupboard to get a glass of water and ants were running around all of our plates and cups in the cabinets. My kids were upset and I was disgusted, and we decided we didn't want to be there at all. I called back and spoke to the owner this time. This is where the gaslighting began! I told her as politely as I could that we were uncomfortable and would be leaving. She then LAUGHED AT ME and loudly cawed, "You're LEAVING OVER SUGAR ANTS??" Then she said, "it's not like it's mice or rats! They don't bite, they don't sting, and they don't carry disease!" OHHH. OK! I don't mind if I find a few swimming in my morning coffee, then! No prob. #BeachLife! She also tried this one: "this is NORMAL for Manzanita!" When I tried to tell her that I've been vacationing at the coast at Seaside since I was young, and had never experienced anything like this, she cut me off to explain, "This isn't SEASIDE, it's MANZANITA!" OHHH! Yes, right, this town is 30 minutes down the coast from the one I grew up going to... and thus has a compleeeetely different climate, vegetation and pests, and that makes an ant infestation perfectly acceptable, perfectly normal, perfectly healthy. When I explained that I did not want any chemicals to be sprayed because I had my dog in the house, she again CUT ME OFF to tell me she has EXPENSIVE dogs and she would NEVER put dogs in danger. OK? Not sure why I needed to know she has expensive dogs. This is not about you, Karen. This is about us, you know, the people who paid almost $2000 to stay here? She never once apologized. She never offered to set us up with a different property. She just attempted to gaslight me into thinking I was CrAzY for wanting to vacate a property swarming with lovable, friendly little ants. Meanwhile, my body still itches. She went on and on for so long without letting me speak, that my daughter eventually took the phone from me and told her we would be leaving, and hung up. We packed up our things and got out of ANT HAVEN. I requested a refund through AirBnb, which the property manager has declined. But it's fine, I'm dealing directly with AirBnb to resolve it. And, this is just review #1. I do not love an ant colony in my silverware drawer, but I DO love a review. And I'm only getting started. Avoid. Unless you love ants and being insulted.

    Very clear communication with us. The house we rented was in great condition. We will continue to…read moreuse them in the future.
