    The property
    Martina C.

    Okay so obviously this place is gorgeous. It's expensive. It's the coast right? And my guy was insistent on me getting the full experience, which included a beachfront patio. Not gonna lie, it was gorgeous. He definitely spoiled me taking me here. I didn't want to leave. Between the comfy AF bed, gorgeous views and lack of care for ANYTHING, I was DESPERATE for a vacation and two days wasn't enough but it was enough to get my head straight. I never noticed UNTIL my stay here, how POOR hotels do at storage. One dresser usually and a closet. This was like the Home Edit came in and said STORAGE here!! And HERE!! And THERE!!! With magic wands! Storage is EVERYWHERE. Next to the front door, your closet with PLENTY of hangars. And the lovely robes. Which we honestly spent most of Saturday in lol Then you've got a coat rack, bench for sitting to put on your shoes and three HUGE drawers beneath the bench for storage. (shoes went in there...and I went barefoot for the first time EVER at a hotel...and had clean feet AND clean white socks!) Then at the "bar" we have a small cabinet that held our snacks and the mini fridge/wine cooler for our cold items. Above is the microwave, silverware and cups/glasses etc. THEN next to the TV: a HUGE cabinet with shelves AND drawers!! Storage everywhere!! I realize not many people will get excited about storage but y'all they already have a 5 star review average. I had to give you something NEW!!! The property is GORGEOUS. Rooms are so beautiful and CLEAN!!! And the staff is amazing. Literally zero complaints except that I wish I could afford to LIVE here. lol

    Husband and I came for a one night beach getaway kid and dog free. Can't recommend this place enough. Check in was easy and we got into our room a little earlier than check in time. The check in cookies were yummy and we appreciated the local beer and seltzer as our check in drinks. We splurged and went with the king bedroom with the water view. The rooms were clean and extremely spacious. The view and the sounds of the waves were dreamy. We didn't get a chance to use the pool/hot tub. The resort is close to pretty much everything, we walked to nearly everything we wanted to see in can in beach. We ate at pelican brewing which was great and walkable. Can't wait to come back!!

    This place is an absolute dream! Greeted by the most friendly staff and some cookies! Our room was upgraded to a lovely beach front view and this room is incredible. My husband and I utilized the pool and it was one of the cleanest swimming pools/hot tub I have personally ever seen. Rooms are spotless and spacious. Will definitely be coming back here, highly recommend!

    I don't know, this might just be the nicest motel I've ever stayed at! Our room was clean and new looking. We got one of the non-view rooms, to save $$. Our bill was $358 for one night, 2 adults. Wait til you see my photos, we got the most amazing non-view of the Haystack, right in our face! The beach is about 2 minutes from our room. Our room had a refrigerator, fireplace, nice TV options and big TV. Check my photos of the room... It's small, but looks very nice. The deck out our front door puts you right there watching the waves. Room Service is available... Cookies in the lobby at 3:30pm, a major event. Many nice touches, this place is a... Hit.

    First, DO NOT BOOK YOUR STAY ON BOOKING.COM OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY. Book through the hotel. The manager was very understanding since we had booked through a third party and we had no idea we didn't have a room with a view at all. We ended up with a fantastic room with a view of Haystack Rock. The room was beautiful! Very clean, bed was comfortable, bathroom was amazing. I think the only "difficulty" was getting the heat to stabilize from being too hot to too cold. There wasn't instructions on using the thermostat and it wasn't your usual one. Otherwise every thing was great. There were more than enough K-cups for the coffee pot, fresh cookies at the front desk and free beverages upon arrival.

    Quiet, seaside, pet friendly, staff accommodating, easy parking, loved the views of Haystack from our bedroom window. Would stay again. Great for pets and plenty of walk about areas. Have chargers for EVs too

    Proximity to Haystack was great, comfy beds, indoor pool and hot tub were nice! Bathroom beautiful and roomy. Reservation said "fireplace", the website says "digital fireplace"- where I'm from this is really called a "fake fireplace". Hard floors. Unsure if I would stay here again. Staff friendly and helpful!

    We stayed for our annual Mother's Day weekend celebration from Sun-Wed and decided to try Surfsand due to its vicinity between town and Haystack. Upon check in they tell us where we can park in coordination with which building our room is in, but they seem to be unaware of the lack of parking. We had to park by the Wayfarer Restaurant the majority of the time we were there, which was about a two minute walk. They had nowhere to pull up to unload our luggage and we had to use a luggage roller that looked like it had never been cleaned. Our room had a broken toilet dispenser,so the toilet paper fell off every time we used it which was frustrating experience throughout our stay. We had a total of 4 in our party so 2 took the room and 2 took the sleeper sofa. They unfortunately forgot to stock our room with an additional comforter for the sleeper sofa. The fridge was missing a freezer compartment and there was only one faulty sink in the bathroom. Why they found it necessary to have 3 tvs, but only one sink in a bathroom attached to the toilet is beyond me. Also, the size of the tv to bedroom/main room ratio was unnecessary. At check out they did apologize or the missed comforter and broken toilet paper holder, but they didn't leave me feeling the urge to rebook for next year. They did have complimentary chairs for beach use and you could purchase a package where they build the fire for you and provide the items to cook s'mores. The ladies I stayed with were savvy, so we made due with making our own fires. The pool and hot tub was a nice feature, but we didn't use it enough to warrant having it.

    It makes me so sad to write this review. My family and I have stayed at this hotel multiple times a year for 7 or 8 years now and never had a complaint until the hotel recently was acquired by a larger chain. Pros: 1. Location. Right on the beach with fantastic views of Haystack rock. Within walking distance to several restaurants and coffee shops, a convenience store, and bike rentals. Within walking distance to downtown as well. 2. Dog friendly rooms available. 3. As advertised, they do have warm cookies at 3 if you're around to enjoy those, they offer complimentary bottles of local beer or root beer when you check in, and during the summer they have a free "community" bonfires in the evening with make-your-own s'mores. 4. My favorite new feature is the motion-sensored nightlight that comes on if you get up in the middle of the night to get a drink or use the restroom. It's the perfect amount of soft light. Con's: 1. Everything just feels different since they were bought out - and this has nothing to do with the renovation underway. 2. We visited twice in March and no longer received the little welcome treat with taffy and a hand-written note either time. 3. The guest rooms have been updated and look newer, but they aren't necessarily better. In fact, the 2 rooms we stayed in both felt significantly smaller. The king studio had the tiniest of tables, just large enough to hold a lamp - so the one evening we ordered room service, we had to eat our dinner on the bed. There's also a window by the door with no blinds that you can see out of from the toilet. The second time we stayed in a king suite. It had a table but the bedrooms no longer have a little window to enjoy fresh air, let any light in, or listen to the waves. Instead, the entire wall behind the bed is planks of wood. It just looks peculiar. There's also so much wasted space in the rooms; it just doesn't make sense. 4. Despite being in newly renovated rooms, both were really dusty, from the towel racks to the floor. 5. The glass showers are nice but the floors looked messy and partially incomplete despite them telling us it was finished. 6. They still advertise Aveda spa products in the rooms but they had this Lather brand the last 2 times we were there. On their own, none of these things are deal breakers, and maybe not even things you'd notice if you haven't stayed there before. However, it's definitely not the same Surfsand and it's disappointing. We agreed we will be looking for different accommodations on future trips. Not necessarily bad, just no longer special.

    Located right on the beach and only half a mile walk from Haystack Rock! Really enjoyed our spring break here, despite torrential rain and wind we got for part of our visit. Easy access to the beach, and close enough to walk to all the shops and restaurants in Cannon Beach. Room was spacious with a fireplace and deck, and bathroom had a huge tub for a warm soak. Also appreciated the Aveda bath products, that was a step up from normal hotel shampoo. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. My only gripe is our room was right by the elevator so we could hear the pinging at night. And your neighbor's door is so close you will definitely hear every single time they go in and out.

    This is the living space with a fold out couch. You can see the wet bar to the right.

    New renovations-sneak peek I was able to stay in one of the newly renovated rooms. It was an ocean view, king with a separate living space. The views of haystack rock were gorgeous. They have ripped out any carpets and used tiles. The artwork is spectacular. There are three TVs. One is in the living space over a faux fireplace. There is one in the bathroom. There is another TV on the wall of the bedroom. The bathroom had two sinks, a soaking tub and a showerhead with a separate rain wand. The new tiles in the bathroom represent stone. There is a refrigerator, a bar sink, a Keurig, coffee maker, and a microwave. The pantry is stocked with plates, coffee, mugs, and wine glasses for four. The cabinets are now whisper closing. They have cleverly designed the base of the bed as storage. There are plenty of outlets. They have USB ports embedded into the nightstands. There was a table with two chairs and a couch that would sit three people. There were four Adirondack deck chairs. There was plenty of light. The heating system was updated. It is now on the ceiling as opposed to the side of the wall. I've always been impressed by the front desk staff. There was a bit of a kerfuffle with the people in front of me for check-in. They were unaware that the property is under construction. The website is extremely transparent about the construction and it's impact on its guests. Check-in has moved from its beautiful lobby to a small hotel room. It was a minor inconvenience, balanced by the 20% off they have on their website. Make sure to take advantage of the 3 o'clock warm cookies, the Friday, beer, tastings, and the ice cream social. I highly recommend this resort. If it is too cold to swim in the ocean, they have a heated pool and a very large hot tub.

    This is how I prevent hot air from the fan, from getting in my face!

    My wife and I stayed here recently (early June) for three nights…read more First, the location is great. On the main drag of S Hemlock, a short walk to a grocery store, Tolovana State Recreation Area, and the beach, as well as a few restaurants. The compound is a series of buildings with rooms that you enter from the outside. We were upstairs with our balcony overlooking the garden, which was nice. The day we checked in, the woman at the front desk was helpful, but for me, with a hearing deficit, she talked fast and I relied on my wife to interpret for me. No big deal, though. They offer cookies individually wrapped, which is a nice touch. In the lobby are tea and coffee. Our room had double queen beds, was clean, and had all the amenities: mini fridge, microwave, and hairdryer. Strangely, we found that our heater was on, and we had to investigate how to turn it off. There is no A/C, at least not that we saw. However, it does not seem to get hot there, so with the window open, not an issue. The bathroom had a small tub/shower but nice fan and great water pressure. The TV worked fine. The first morning, we checked out the complimentary breakfast. You have to walk across Surfcrest St into another compound called Lodges at Cannon Beach and back in the corner is the breakfast room (there is a sign that leads the way). However, we were not impressed. Except for the sausage, biscuits, muffins, and juice, we were not impressed. There were no scrambled eggs that morning, just hard boiled. I'm not a fan of biscuits and gravy. They don't have a waffle maker, so the waffles had been sitting out and, for us, not edible. Ultimately, we skipped the breakfast the next two mornings. Housekeeping did a great job of cleaning and tidying up our room each day. We appreciated that. Besides the unimpressive breakfast, I only had one other issue. About dusk the frogs start up in the pond at the center of the garden area where most rooms overlook. They are continuous and loud, so that we had to close the window to be able to sleep. There is a fan in the room, but we like fresh air and were unable to enjoy it. Overall, we were happy with the Inn At Cannon Beach.

    This was day 15 of an epic trip throughout the Pacific Northwest. After incredible experiences in…read moreBend and Newport, Oregon, my husband and I were excited to arrive in Cannon Beach, expecting the same warm hospitality we had encountered throughout the state. Unfortunately, that was not our experience at the Inn at Cannon Beach. My husband checked us in around 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, July 16. We had booked a four-night stay. Although there were no other guests waiting and three employees were behind the front desk, he was greeted with a curt, "How can I help you?" There was no hello, welcome, or smile. The check-in process felt cold and robotic, with none of the warmth we had experienced at every other property on our trip. After settling into our room, we returned a few minutes later to request the complimentary pass to the local gym. A different employee provided the information with little enthusiasm. She mentioned the gym was about a mile away. When I asked whether it was walkable, she replied, "I can do it." I wasn't asking whether someone could walk it--I wanted to know whether it was practical and safe for visitors unfamiliar with the area. We decided to explore on foot. The route followed a busy road with no sidewalks, something that would have been helpful to mention. We also encountered several large elk roaming near the road and decided it was wiser to turn back. My husband asked to speak with a manager and was directed to the front desk supervisor, who was the same employee who had given us the gym information. He explained that, based on our check-in and subsequent interactions, we did not feel welcome and would prefer to leave if we could receive a full refund. She responded with a perfunctory, "I'm sorry you feel that way," agreed to refund our stay, and that was the end of the conversation. There was no attempt to understand our concerns or ask whether anything could be done to improve our experience. We were disappointed that our first impression of Cannon Beach came from a hotel where we felt like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. For a nightly rate of $500+, we hoped for better service. Although we had to scramble to find accommodations during the busy summer season, we ultimately found another hotel where the hospitality matched everything we had come to appreciate throughout Oregon.

However, personally, I have not felt welcome here,…read moreand I also observe that many of the stated amenities or "perks" are not available, not working, or just not.....it's been death by a thousand cuts for me, and it's on top of the multiple racial micro aggressions I've experienced in this town in less than 24 hours. 1. Upon arrival to check-in, I observed one person at the reception desk being helped by the sole staff member, plus several folks hanging out in the lobby. After checking that no one else was waiting, I sat down to wait. They all left and I was the only person waiting. Of course, a white woman strolled right up to the desk from outside just as the other guest left, and instead of telling her I was there first, or even acknowledging me at all, the white staff person just helped her. 2. They say that pets names are on a welcome board when you arrive. My dog's name was not there and the board was tucked away against a wall. 3. I'm traveling alone with a dog, so I unload everything before bringing my dog into the room. After lugging everything to the door, my key cards did not work. When I went back to reception, there was no apology, or anything about accountability. Simply "oh let me fix that." 4. The room says that the TV is equipped with AppleTV, and even has a special button for it. Does not actually work. 5. They say they provided cookies in the lobby between 4-6pm. I checked in just after 4pm and there were none. 6. I took my dog out to sightsee and when we same back, again with my hands full, the key cards did not work again. So, I have to leave my belongings at the door, and run to the lobby with my dog in tow, to get the fixed AGAIN. funny how that happened again. 7. When we did open the door to the room the first few times, the smell of "old lady perfume" was so strong. I asked the front desk if that was intentional and she said it must be a cleaning product. It is way too strong and I can still smell it on day 2, even after airing the room out as much as possible. 8. The shower head is covered with lime, and the spray options do not all fully function due to how clogged the shower head is. 9. The bedding is way too light for the climate. So then you run the heater, and get too hot in the night. 10. The outdated fridge runs loudly at random times in the night. I'm on a long road trip with my dog as we move to Canada, and we've been on the road for 2 weeks and been to 5 states. I decided to splash out on this hotel because I'm a huge Goonies fan, and my dog loves the beach. Overall, I'm disappointed and I'd say this hotel is not worth it at all. I will not stay here again. For this amount of $$$, plus dog fees for me, this value is abysmal.

    Updating my review over 3 years later! We have stayed at Ecola Inn annually for 4 years now. As my…read moreprevious review states, the view is incredible and it's always a fantastic stay every time. I wanted to add some details: You get 1 parking spot per room for the duration of your stay which is amazing and quite literally feet away from the famous haystack entrance. Bigger cars might prefer more ideal spots along the sides of the parking lot to reduce congestion of the entrance but those are limited. So plan the times you leave accordingly. Their booking system is different from anywhere else we've stayed. For the dates you stay, at check out, you get dibs on the same dates the following year. Which is why many guests have maintained the same reservation for many years. (That is also why it is always booked out) We see some of the same people every year which is also cool! It will require a $100 deposit which will be deducted from your total if choose not to book the following year. Otherwise that same deposit rolls over year after year. I found the full size refrigerator amazing for new moms who breastfeed and need to freeze their milk. I was able to continue my breastfeeding journey on vacation which I'm grateful for. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need; silverware, dishes, new sponge, dish soap, salt & pep, roasting pan, frying pan, pots, cast iron skillet, microwave, oven, coffee etc. So for families with small children, this also means snacks & mealtimes can be cooked inside your room. (We stop at Costco in Warrenton on the drive over!) If you want the biggest room, choose room #5. It is up a flight of stairs so keep that in mind. It's so spacious. There's a back room with 2 queen size beds, tv & vanity. That's where our kids sleep and plenty of room to play. Bonus, there a door separating the main part of the room where there is another queen bed, kitchen, fireplace and of course, the killer view. They are very strict (as they should be) about fire department requirements regarding how many people can be in each room. There are zero exceptions to maximum capacity. So book accordingly, not based on how many beds there are. Children are included in that count. There is no traditional turn down service but clean towels are provided every morning if you wish. Guests are asked (or have been in the past via the handbook) to remove their own trash which is right under the stairs requiring little to no effort. Also to remove shoes at the door to prevent sand buildup on the carpets as it's difficult to remove. Out of respect for Rosa (who we love) and her staff, we make sure the room is clean of any dishes, garbage before we check out as well as stripping the sheets and leaving on the bed for easier turn down for the next guest. Dogs are allowed on the property granted you pickup after them & remain respectful. No leaving dog unattended. The lower rooms have direct access to the backyard for easy potty breaks. The weather here is kinda funny in the earlier months of the year because it will forecast rain the whole week and be sunny/beautiful for at least half the day. That said, it is windy sometimes with king tides so walks on the beach are dependent on that. Hope this helps! Check that website for opening dates and may the odds be in your favor!!
