Since…read morewe live in Portland, about 2 hours away from Astoria, it is a quick getaway for us and we plan on making the trip as often as we can. Pam and David are the sweetest and most hospitable hosts, and their B&B truly feels like a cozy home. They collect really fun items, and each room has its own character and its own unique homey decor. The location of the inn is close enough to walk anywhere you would want to go out for dinner, drinks, or shopping. The best part of the inn (besides Pam's breakfasts - which always include the BEST fruit bowls) is most definitely their 13 year old chihuahua, Penny. She often makes an appearance after breakfast and steals the heart of everyone she meets. If you aren't able to use a tub with a shower handle (like the kind popular in Europe) to bathe, then I would suggest getting one of their rooms with a shower/tub combination. I loved having a clawfoot tub to soak in (we stayed in the Rose Room this time) each night while I read and drank a cup of tea. There is usually hot water and teabags or instant coffee available at all hours (freshly brewed coffee is available starting at 7am) on the stairway landing and I took full advantage of that amenity!

Our room was huge and was temperature controlled, we had a really big bathtub to soak in. We didn't even leave the hotel for dinner. We just ate at the bar! Rachel at the bar was just fantastic! The manager, Jasmine was also very kind and attentive. Milk and cookies at 7pm was such a nice little touch to seal the deal. Attention to detail at this place was impeccable. They've put so much thought into something as trivial as how they robes smelled! The hotel itself has a very cool and industrial architecture but without the coldness! They have incorporated huge water marble art and very minimalistic marine-animal art which was a great juxtaposition. We were only here for one night, but this was easily one of those hotels where the hotel itself becomes part of the trip.

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!

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.

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!

The sauna is amazing and the local soaps and lotions an added bonus. There's bikes and a laundry room for use, and the views are unbeatable. Smoking is permitted outdoors in a designated area for those who desire, but the area is not obtrusive or bothersome to no smokers, and this house by no means smells like cigarette smoke whatsoever.

This is what you get when you visit Grandview B & B. Funky, old, and in those two things - charm. Sharlene is someone who has lived a nice long life and probably has many stories to tell. She is usually the woman who greets you when you arrive. Be patient, as it takes her a bit to get to the front door. Also, if you come down to the lobby area after you have checked in and try to talk to Sharlene, make sure she can see who you are. I watched a few times as guests came down the stairs to call out to her about a question and she can't move her neck as easily to know who she is talking to. :) Be kind and patient with this wonderful lady. We stayed in the Treetops Room which has a balcony where you can look out over the river and see the old Flavel home. And you can even spy the Goonies house in the far off distance. Breakfast is served at 7:30, 8:30 or 9:30 and you get to choose which one works best for you. Bagels, smoked salmon and chocolate muffins! YUM! The sweet chef was wonderfully sweet and we felt very special eating in the closed off room. If you want 1000 thread count sheets or modern amenities, this is not where you will find them.

Our keys did not work and the desk clerk was not clear about where to park. He said the lot to the south would be off limits, but did not say the street in front would also be closed off at 5am on Sunday. He did not mention anything about breakfast. * The windows are dirty and difficult to use. They are in need of maintenance. * Street noise. * Curtains difficult to use to block out city street lights. * A tiny, low height toilet like one might find in an elementary school. * No face cloths. Only 1 bath towel per person, no extras. * Reading lights, over the bed, are improperly placed and ineffective. * The air conditioning is a floor unit by the couch. * Stair case is dingy. * Funky elevator. * Large couch so no end tables and 1 rickety reading lamp. * Other hotels, where we have stayed, had a small table and two armchairs. Nothing like that here. We had a room with a separate area for seating. For $435 we expected far better.

What a fun place to stay…read more... It's an older roadside motel, but it's been redone completely in a retro 50s theme. It shows on the outside, it shows in the lobby, and it shows in the rooms. The room and the bathroom were very clean, plenty of room, and the bed was very comfortable. There are plenty of plugs and USB ports to charge your gear. There was a Keurig, a refrigerator, and a microwave in the room. There were a couple of small glitches, but they were not a big deal. First of all, the TV got a good picture and a large number of channels, but I wasn't getting any sound from the TV. I don't know if I was doing anything wrong. I would've contacted the lobby, but I had my iPad and my laptop, so I didn't need the TV. I did mention it to the clerk in the morning, and she said she would look into it. Also, the Wi-Fi is a bit slow, there was a tiny bit of buffering when I was watching videos online, but not much. The biggest thing, was that the room was a bit stuffy, and unfortunately, there was no air-conditioning. Again, it wasn't a really big deal. They do have a fan in the room, so I just used the fan, and I opened the bathroom window and my front window a crack, and that gave the room plenty of cross ventilation. I was still very comfortable. There's a continental style breakfast, with coffee, hot cocoa, hot cereal, fruit, muffins, poptarts, etc...... The room was about $150 for one night on a Monday , which is typical for the smaller properties in Astoria in the summertime. Next time I'm in town, I would definitely stay here again. Thanks.

But this place completely changed my perspective - easily the best motel I've stayed at. Really enjoyed our one-night stay here.

The only downside is that you can hear pretty much everything going on outside, so if you're a light sleeper I'd definitely recommend bringing ear plugs. Other than that, we had a great experience. Would absolutely stay again and definitely recommend it to others visiting Astoria!

I'm staying at the Commodore Hotel in Astoria for the first time, and after 40 years of traveling,…read morethis is my first stay in a hotel without a private bathroom. The setting has a classic feel, with antique details like the steel radiator and retro windows. The room is small but clean and full of character. At $350 for two nights, it feels a bit expensive, but it offers a unique experience. There is a shared men's and women's bathroom on each floor, along with two showers. There is no A/C--just a fan in the room. We also noticed a fairly strong dog smell inside the elevator and in the bedroom, even though we like dogs. I was initially worried about noise from upstairs with a family of four (including two kids), but that hasn't been an issue. Most of the noise came from the bar across the street, where groups were loud late into the night. I used the complimentary earplugs for the first time in years of staying at hotels, and they were helpful. I could still hear the noise, and it continued until after 3:10 a.m., when the conversations outside the bar finally died down. On the bright side, the manager and staff are friendly and professional. If you're looking for a historic, classic stay, this is a distinctive option--just be aware of the shared facilities, the pet odor, and the potential for street noise.

A lot of people have written in to say they weren't pampered the way they wanted. Well, did you…read moreread the website, like, at all? TL/DR: crisp, minimalist rooms and amenities with nice, funky, particulars, combined with another outpost of the Broder empire, make this an ideally located, charming, basic place to crash, and our favorite in Astoria. In a very European fashion, the Commodore provides stripped, minimalist rooms, (with some of the best pillows I can recall in a hotel) with excellent social accommodations and a level of charm you won't find in any corporate hotel. Are the hours a little wonky? Yeah. But I had no problem navigating the late check-in, since they contact you and ask if that's what you'll need. There could be more amenities, but this used to be aimed at the digital-nomad-cum-wanderer younger crowd as a part of the defunct Selina organization. Don't know how much of the previous special stuff remains (checking out a projector and having movies in the lobby was awesome) but I will always have a soft spot for this place. Maybe that's because I've never been pampered and never expect to be. The new ownership has opened the restaurant, Broder Strand, with all of the Scandinavian treats, like the Classic 2 egg I had. Edit: So I've been clued in to the ownership saga of the Commodore. It was owned by the Selina Group when I wrote my first review, then when they went under, it was purchased by the person in charge f the Broder (galactic) empire, but has changed hands again. There are differences, and not many of them are good. There appears to be a general erosion in some of the "little things" like what is stocked in the "honor bar" or whatever it is called. Once there was a good variety, now its just granola bars and half-liter Mexican Cokes. The attentiveness to detail (like refilling the extra towel/robe shelf outside the shared shower rooms never happening) and a missing ceiling lamp globe in the shower room, make me think that the folks who currently own it are not quite hoteliers at heart. I took a star off because of that. They have fixed the wifi, so that's nice, and the access to the Broder Strand in the mornings (and Stranded bar in the evenings) makes it a better place, but that is someone else's labor. They really should do more cross-promotion to reinforce the bond because as it stands, I recommend the restaurant more than the hotel. In the interim, between Selina and now, a manager tried to compensate for all of the fallout from Selina's collapse and the broken reservations and lost trust that came with it. Rooms were all freshly painted, new linens and ceiling fans, tightening up some loose spots. A lot of that ground seems to have been lost and the reviews reflect that. That said, the bones are still strong. A quirky joint in a quirky town. We will always come back here. Until we retire here, that is!
