After spending nearly 5ish hours, trudging through traffic of Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia, and ridiculously low speed limits on the 101 near Raymond, we finally made it... just in time to fall asleep.
What we found when we got there, on a quiet Friday night in Astoria, was a throwback to the 20's, the roaring 20's that is, the gilded age of quiet hotels, with comfortable (comfy) rooms. From the outside, you'd think it was a restored hotel from that era, with the glimmer of the township lights.
After checking in, which was quick, we got into the elevator, and went up. Walking down the halls, instantly made me feel like I was in those neat black and white photos of that golden era. Never mind the electronic key card readers, once we stepped in, it was good. The room was clean, bed equally so. After tossing the bedcovers, walking into bathroom, we both noticed... HEATED BATHROOM FLOOR. Okay, that's a certain "+1" on the memorable scale.
Off to bed.
Morning, time for our "limited continental breakfast"... which was not that limited, but rather scrambled eggs, waffles, and a fruit compote/maceration. Sure it was all probably from a box, a couple hours before, but they did a good job with the presentation, and yogurt, milk, coffee, juice, and bread products; it was a hot breakfast. It was pretty good, more than what we expected.
The fitness room was limited, but that's okay, one treadmill, one elliptical, a good set of dumbbells, medicine balls, and a small fridge of water. Oh yeah, a TV also.
The roof deck is a good feature, and I bet one that not many people visit. They have limited seating, but on a sunny afternoon, it's perfection. I think it's a great place to rewind, and relax. The views are good.
It's in the center of town, which means, walkable to everything. On Sunday, there is a farmer's market, which is literally outside the front doors.
Recommendation: worth staying, and if I end up here again, I would probably stay here.
