Hotels Near Lightship Columbia (WLV604) in Astoria

Hotel was convenient, clean and staff was very nice. We had been to several places looking for sea lions and had not seen any. As soon as we checked in they provided free ear plugs because of the barking sea lions. We walked outside of the hotel and there they were. Dozens of barking sea lions. You cannot get very close so you'll need binoculars. It was wonderful!

We sere surprised when we pulled up to the hotel that it was located in an industrial area of the riverfront. The advertisement for the hotel shows views of a small craft marina but that wasn't our experience. The room we were given was at the end of a wing of the property that overlooked a mountain of cut logs waiting for shipment with logging trucks regularly going in and out with shipments of logs. Our stay started out good enough and quickly went down hill fast. The front desk was friendly and accommodating. We were taken aback by the very tired appearance of the building which appeared to be undergoing limited repairs. Our room was the same. The chairs in our room were dirty and frayed and the deck outside was in need of paint. Once we settled in we tried to turn on the television but it wouldn't work. After several calls to the front desk they sent someone up who worked for about 45 minutes on it. Finally we asked for a different room and they moved us next door. So we re-packed our belongings and moved. Again we tried the TV in the second room and it didn't work either. Same person came back and worked for another 45 minutes to 1 hour to try to get it working to no avail. At that point we said forget it that we would take it up with the front desk in the morning. About 30 minutes later we hear a scratching at our door and when we opened it we were shocked to find two individuals trying go get it. They said the front desk had assigned them the room. Possession is 9/10ths and we weren't moving again and they headed back to the office. The final straw as the next morning when we went down for the included breakfast only to find there was none. The person working the breakfast said the truck didn't get there in time with their supplies. It goes without saying we weren't happy campers when we spoke to the manager. They did give us a large credit for all our trouble but I wouldn't recommend staying there until repairs and upgrades are made. I would hope they would be a little more truthful with their advertising.

I cannot imagine the difficult times hotels have had since March 2020. This property is conveniently located and moderate to high in price. It’s frustrating that even though their pool and hot tub are unavailable and that not even individually wrapped items are not provided for breakfast, that per night costs have not gone down as compensation. A call to the hotel directly got me higher prices than major online sites, but the night staff searched for online price matches and got me a cheaper rate than I was assuming I would pay. Check in staff was friendly and efficient and had good suggestions for nearby dining. Management should plan to spend time post COVID on sprucing up rooms and common areas which are starting to look shabby and dated. Room layout is good and the bed is comfortable. A microwave and refrigerator were in the ensuite bar area. Free WiFi is provided. Lots of TV channels but no guide or schedule available. The event I was attending did not tell me that a folding chair would be most helpful and I don’t carry one in my car, so I was pleasantly surprised that staff arranged for me to borrow one from their break room, which was enormously helpful.

My wife and I say at least a couple times per year. We always book a room with a hot tub to be able to sit bucket the ocean while taking a bath. the rooms and the tubs are always very clean the TV and it’s remote always works, but there is no timer or way to turn on closed captions on the TV. The front desk staff is always friendly and very accommodating. This hotel is far enough away from the main ***** that it is relatively quiet. It is close enough that you can walk to some nice restaurants or to the arcade and other fun things that they have available in Seaside. We will continue to stay at this Best Western a couple times a year.

We stayed at the Ebbtide for 7 nights in September '22 with our adult son and dog. The hotel was kept very clean but does need some updating. It is very close to everything and we found we were able to just walk everywhere. I would have loved for there to be an air conditioner and firmer pillows.

100% will stay again. It's not oceanfront but the river view and calm evening were perfect. From the moment I got there the front desk person, Mike was welcoming and genuine. Our family had to make an unexpected stop on our way home and of course, almost everything was booked or way too expensive. Mike was understanding and helped us to get the best deal possible with our limited budget. Not just dog friendly but very accommodating to our pooch. The hot breakfast is complete with a futuristic automatic pancake maker. The room was clean and the bed was so comfortable we didn't want to leave. The room was completely set up for a work room and we could have easily done remote work in this setting. 24 hour pool & Hot tub and minors aren't there after 10:00 pm. If you'll need a late check out make sure to ask early as the spots fill up quickly. Even with that, the staff helped us to squeeze another 30 minutes out of our stay. We could hear some foot traffic above, but to be expected in a family and dog-friendly hotel.

We were in town visiting family during the 4th of July weekend. The room was clean and adequate for our needs. We had a great view of the fireworks from our window. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The hotel is convenient to everything from town to the beach. It is a bit of a walk to the beach, but it appears to be that way everywhere.
