Inn At Otter Crest

This is a beautiful property with lovely flowers! We did enjoy our stay, but we were sad to learn the beach access was closed after being given a map with it highlighted as an amenity. The pool was locked earlier than ten so we didn’t get to use that. And the fitness center was closed our entire stay as well. For the price I wish we could have enjoyed these options. The room was super clean and updated. But the walls and floors are so thin you can hear the people next to you unzip their suitcases and we were kept up all night by the person above us snoring!!! The restaurant was great. But I wish they were open later

Beautiful forest view from our room. It was comfortable and quiet. Lovely warm oil and hot tub. Gorgeous bluff view, stairs to beach, great access to devils punchbowl, amazing restaurant, trails for walking and nice dog run area. The flowers everywhere were stunning.

The rooms were nice, although the pelicans were a bit possessed. The pool was probably my favorite part. That and its proximity to Georgie's. The people at the service desk are super hit or miss. There is one lady who was pretty rude and acted like it was my job to tell her how to do her job every time we spoke. That was pretty laughable. The guy who checked us in was super chill though. A lot of the exclusive beach access was overgrown and the tide pools weren't really tide pooling, and there was a lot of construction going on during our stay. Due to that, most of the romance had to take place indoors lest the immersion be broken. My wife and I had a lovely time, but it is worth noting that we are professionals when it comes to having a lovely time with each other.

What an absolutely stunning resort. Manicured grounds with flowers in bloom everywhere & hummingbirds galore. Loved the beach access, proximity to Devils punchbowl & only minutes from Depoe Bay. The heated pool, hot tub & sauna were just what we needed. Only complaint as stated in other reviews is the walls are so so thin. I could hear everything our next door neighbors were saying the entire time. Aside from that the room was perfection.

Other reviewers are not lying about thin walls. However, we brought earplugs to be prepared and didn't need them, and the other merits far outstrip that small detriment. The location is gorgeous, the pool changing room has a sauna, the front desk is organized and capable, with lots of amenities like DVDs for rent, microwave meals for late-night options, and tide charts so you know when to go to the tide pools. The view from the room was incredible, and the room was clean with all the basic appliances and toiletries. The stay was a bit expensive for us, but definitely worth it for a special weekend away.

We enjoyed our stay here with three kids, including an infant. If we had a toddler I’d be concerned about the safety as the bedroom was really a second floor loft with a balcony overlooking the living room. Easy for a mischievous child to climb onto the furniture and get into trouble. The room could have been cleaner, especially the bathroom around the toilet. We loved the grounds and really enjoyed swimming in the pool. It’s not wheelchair friendly as the hills are very steep. The golf cart service directly to the room was convenient and fun.

Awesome views! We saw whales from our porch, incredible!! The property is sure beautiful, but LOTS of stairs and walking. Beds were comfy. You can definitely hear everything going on in the rooms around you, though. Pool is large and warm. Hot tub was great, too. Views from the pool area are fantastic, too. Limited operations at the restaurant, closed when we were there. Would stay again, but with less luggage to haul around. :)

This is such a cute place to stay and being right along the ocean. The rooms are a bit aged but overall very worth it. My only concern would be if you’re traveling with older people or someone needing assistance with walking. This is a very stair heavy Inn with a lot of walking to get around and huge flights of stairs just to get to the 1st floor. I do believe they have some units on a “ground” floor and I would recommend calling to make accommodations if traveling with someone that needs assistance. Other than that incredibly friendly staff, very helpful and would definitely stay here again.

This is our favorite spot in the entire coast. We stop here every single trip. Nothing beats this place. The grounds are breathtaking, the rooms are spotless, and it's the most beautiful beach. The only downside is that it has LOTS and I mean LOTS of stairs. My daughter counted 85 or 86 stairs. As someone that suffered a pretty bad foot injury a few years back.... I am very sore after a few days of going up and down the stairs to get to the beach. It's also on a hill and you do not park near your room. A golf cart drops you and your belongings off at the room and you have to pack your luggage up stairs. It's a ton of walking. Each room is privately owned so they have different themes and decorations. Book way in advance!!! People love the tide pools and this place is always packed. This is perfect for a romantic vacation or families.

We stayed at the Inn at Otter Crest for 2 nights. The property was well maintained and quite beautiful. It was quiet, serene, and very calming. Our room had an ocean view and was, for the most part, clean and in working order. It had two rooms, with a short hallway connecting the rooms. The bedroom was the first room you entered when entering, and the seating area with wall mounted tv was where the balcony and ocean view were. We wanted to sleep in the seating area, so we could hear the ocean at night. There was a sofabed, so we were pretty excited about sleeping with the balcony door open and listening to the crashing waves while we slept. We pulled open the sofabed, and to our shock, the mattress was stained in several spots, and the bottom of the mattress was coming apart, with exposed metal springs. A couple of the couch cushions had stains/burn marks on them. We did NOT sleep on the sofabed mattress!! Overall we did enjoy the property, the peaceful environment, and the professional staff. I would have given it a 5-star review if the sofabed mattress had been clean and safe to sleep on.

The Inn @ Otter Crest is hands-down the best place to stay on the entire Oregon Coast. The access to tide pools is enough for 5 stars. The hospitality is next level. Read carefully on their website about what it means to go here so you understand that these are often people's private condos, well furnished, loved for their era-defining aesthetics and often with awesome balconies. The second my partner and I walked in to our room at the Inn at Otter Crest, we called the front desk to book another night. Note that the road into the end is easy to drive past at night.

The stairs to the beach are broken and closed! There is no beach access from otter crest inn. You can walk 10-15 min to devils punchbowl (or drive), but super sad the stairs are broken and no one is working on them with no eta.

I had a lovely two night mid-week getaway in a King room with a panoramic view - Room L271. I paid about $430 with taxes. If you are looking for someplace swanky, this isn't the place. If you are looking to relax and have a clean room to stay in while listening to the ocean at night check it out, it might be just right for you. *Things to know before you go: - Each room or suite is individually owned so the decor will differ but the linens and toiletries are standard throughout the resort. - The property is on a hill so you will be walking up or down a path or climbing up or down stairs as you make your way around. - The bottom of the property that is above the ocean has a large lawn, a children's playground, a swimming pool and hot tub as well as an event center. - You will not park your car near your room. There is a primary parking lot. 24 hour shuttle service is how you will get around from car to lodging and back if you don't want to walk. I used it only when departing at the end of my stay in order to get my luggage and other gear to my car. - The staff are very nice. - There are 85 stairs to get down to the beach that has amazing tide pools.

This was our first time staying at the in at otter crest. We got lucky with a good deal on hotels.com for $288 for two nights Forrest view. Our Forrest view was essentially ocean view. They have some great walking nearby, a mid restaurant on site, pool, sauna and gym. The rooms are faraway from the parking and they will golf cart you to your room complimentary. The pool is very warm and has some beautiful ocean views. I would recommend asking for an upper level room. We could hear everything that the guests above us were doing. The room was very clean when we arrived and they supplied us with plenty of towels for our stay. The bed is not the most comfortable we have slept in. In combination with the noise and the firm bed it was difficult to get a good nights sleep. Over all we will be back and recommend this hotel. I'm excited to bring friends and family here and get a adjoining room.

A solid 3.5 stars. It's funky old, but in a good way. Architecture is 70s, but has been well maintained. Everything inside our room was functional and kept up. A big throwback to the 70s was the actual heavy room keys. Yes, they still give keys...not room cards. Enjoyed the pool and dry sauna. There are trails to walk and naturally one to the beach. For a Saturday stay, a king was $140. I would say the main drawback was walking quite a distance from the parking lot to our room...in the rain. Not fun, especially down a steep hill. Yes, the desk guy said he could call for "bell service" meaning a golf cart, but I'm a cheapskate, and this is Oregon. Sort of like valet parking.

A very enjoyable and relaxing one-night stay in a second-floor room in beautiful surrounding and a lovely view over the water. Check-in was smooth and efficient with welcoming staff. The unit was clean and comfortable. Please note that there were no elevators, the uphill walk to the condo units takes a little while and the walls are paper thin.We had an pleasant along the beach and enjoyed pizza and cocktails at their Spyglass Restaurant, I highly recommend Inn at Otter Crest.

Staying at The Inn at Otter Crest for New Years was a nightmare. Don't get me wrong - it's beautiful and peaceful on the grounds. But our room sounded like a bus station. There's a door between the connecting units. So we can hear everything our neighbors are saying as if they're in our room, loud kids included. Not good and not peaceful! We talked with the gentleman at the desk minutes after going to our room. He informed us that all the rooms are like this. Then he clarified that all rooms like the one we booked are this loud, and he had no other to move us to. So I'm sitting here typing this with what sounds like strangers talking loudly right next to me. It's a whole family - children and adults, all talking, all together, all the time. As a bonus, children are stomping around over our heads. This place is a nightmare. Seriously, WTactualF?

Pros and cons. Pros-the view, location, amazing trail to walk to Devils punch bowl, close to beach, beautiful grounds with all the blooming flowers, nice paths. Many complain about the trails to get from the parking lot to the room but I didn't mind that so much. Trying to roll a suitcase is impossible but you can drive around near your unit to unload to avoid the trail but you will have to carry up stairs. That was all fine with me as the patio and view was the pay off. Cons- the guy working the front desk was not friendly at all. Zero personality. The room was dated but clean. Food-restaurant was closed but they did allow us to order a 'to go' order of salad and a side of fries. It was ok. Pool was nice. We went at a very quiet time in October and although the weather was great, it was a little eerie there because of so few people staying there and odd staff. I would recommend this property for at least a 1-2 night stay.

My family and I picked the Inn at Otter Crest for our 10 year anniversary expecting a lot better than what it actually was. We had one of the premier rooms but hate to say it wasn't clean, upstairs bathroom needs a lot of TLC as things are broken and about to fall a part and the front door knob is broken and keeps falling off. I let the front desk know and NOTHING was fixed. They offered 10% off but I'm so frustrated that nothing was addressed 1k for two nights is ridiculous and I would expect to be refunded more than 10%. I hope they make it right.

The property is beautiful on the outside. Very dated on the inside. From the linoleum, to the green carpet that's definitely original, the dirty walls, ripped blankets and peeling paint...this is NOT a $200 and up per night spot. BUT you get $200 and up views. I read on Trip Advisor that the walls are paper thin, and yes. They are. I could hear 100% of their conversation while I was using the restroom. Awkward! Though, it didn't mention the THUMPING sound that the tarp which is basically like a cubicle divider, on the outside patio, makes every time the wind soars. Which is all the time. Because it's the Oregon coast. Now, it's clean enough, it's a beautiful property, the views are great. There is a private beach and tide pools, the pool area is nice and the grounds are nice. BUT if you want luxury and comfort, this is not your spot. I would come back here but maybe get a room without the view, and spend the time walking TO the view. Or just go somewhere a whole lot cheaper. They definitely don't offer you luxury. The pillows were like pancakes. So flat I had a stiff and painful neck the next morning. So don't come here unless you are preparing for a 2-3 star experience. It's not a resort!!

I'm giving it 1 star because of the views on this property. Everything else is dated and in disrepair, with an unfriendly staff and minimal amenities. Be prepared to hike to and from your room at long distances from the parking lot located far away from the units, and up-and-down steep hills. With moisture on the ground it's very dangerous walking as it's very slippery. Fortunately no one got hurt during our stay. We had an infant with us, which made it even more difficult and dangerous. The setting of the property is quite nice, however, all of the units are old and just slightly / cheaply updated. One tiny shower that you can barely open the door to get into with a shower that is mostly broken (more water comes out of the faucet than the shower head) and the handle just pops off when trying to adjust. We probably could have lived with the dated room. However, the staff was unfriendly and even rude during our stay. The only person that was friendly was the gentleman who checked us in our first night. Golf carts trying to run you off the road when you're walking to your room, the pool guy pestering and kicking us out of the hot tub well before closing time (10 pm) because he wanted to rush us out so he could go home I assume (my wife and 2 kids quietly sitting in the over chlorinated hot tub, this wasn't a rowdy group trying to stay after closing)? The night manager is an old crabby guy and when we asked for towels our second night (they gave us 4 towels for 6 people in our loft unit) because the cleaning service didn't service our room, complained that he was just about to close down shop and if we wanted the towels we'd have to come down and get them (again a looooong walk in the rain at night)... WTF? They should probably advertise that people should bring their own towels, oh, and by the way no pool towels so make sure you bring something with you otherwise you get to hike back to use your old room towels (what a joke!). One last item is, they told us that our room would have a pullout sleeper sofa to accommodate our party of six, unfortunately that was not the case. So the kids slept on the couches. There are so many wonderful properties on the Oregon coast, this one is not one of them. I would give it zero stars if I could.

This was a horrible stay we will not be back. we were checked into Room 324. We were not even offered a ride to the rom so we had to hike to the room. No cars were allowed to the rooms. When we checked in to room 324 the walls were razor thin. We heard everything the neighbors were talking about. The shampoo was a sludge. We had to ask for shampoo . I don't know why the housekeeper left it for the guests in the room. Then the neighbors decided to smoke some pot on their balcony. Our door was open and it wafted into our room. We had enough at this point and asked to be moved. The front desk person did not apologize and was not very sympathetic. Her name was Katiya. We asked for compensation but she said she had to wait until her manager was there the next morning. Well it turned out she was the Front Office Manager! We ere taken to room 147. She gave us the wrong keys, s we had to wait in the rain to get the news keys. When we finally got into our room, 9pm, the walls again were razor thin. We heard the neighbors TV loud and clear. We just wanted to go to sleep at this time. When we checked out they refunded the difference between the rooms and that was it. NO apology, no other compensation just a big fat FU. They said the GM, Greg would be in at 2pm. We called at 4pm, they knew it was our phone number and proceeded to hang up on us. We called back and they hung up on us again. The 3rd time they said my husbands name and then hung up again. Then we called back and they said the GM would not be in until Tuesday then hung up. Do NOT STAY HERE!!! THEY ARE RUDE AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS!!!!!!

A stipulation is in order. These are the best views on the O Coast. Hands down. That said, here is the real story. The place is absolutely inaccessible to any one with even a minor limitation (age being one of them). We found it impossible to stroll through the lovely gardens or enjoy the beach. It is on a cliff that is not, by any means, accessible. To make things worse, they say they offer "rides" in their curtesy golf carts. No. We were gassed, sitting on a bench, wondering how were were going to get to our room. A staff member in a golf cart stopped and greeted us. I asked if he could give my wife a ride to our third level room. He said, "NO", and drove off. The same day, I heard a staff member LAUGH because a lady needed a ride. He said, "too bad". There are many lovely, accommodating facilities to stay on the O Coast. This is not one of them. Drive on by.

My fiancé and I stayed for two nights a few weeks ago. Our room was amazing. It's quiet and just what we needed on a weekend away from the kids! After reading all the reviews prior to going I was worried. The rooms are a bit of a walk (depends where your room is), from the parking lot. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They will cart you to your car or room anytime. The carts have flat beds and seat 4 passengers. There are two carts. Park in the parking lot, throw the hazards on and a cart will arrive shortly. No need to go in the office if you've already checked in. Staff will help carry anything you have if you're on the second level as we were. My lady is pregnant and this made it ONE TRIP, which is the rule, ya know? Great stay, not expensive, great property. Not far from Newport and Depoe Bay. I definitely recommend. So much so that I'm not even going to list the room we were in so it isn't occupied when we stay again!

I first stayed here in the late 1970s, and have stayed many times since. The various units are owned and maintained by different people. Those of us who stay often and have stayed in different rooms have our favorites. My faves are 232 and 233. Be prepared to stay in a room that probably differs from all the other rooms. If you are just looking for a room to stay in, you would probably want to stay elsewhere. But if you want to see the Pacific Ocean in all its moods, hear the owls late at night, see the bunnies, hummingbirds, pelicans, gulls, ravens, and the occasional fox, this is the place for you. Some people complain about the hills and stairs. Yes, there are a lot of stairs. The place is built on a cliff, for heaven's sake! If you don't like to walk, call for a ride. The staff are willing and able. Don't count on the restaurant. It was hit hard by Covid, and is now open only on weekends and only for takeout. Hopefully it will open full time soon. Meanwhile, there are good restaurants in Depoe Bay--Gracie's and/or Tidal Raves. Both have great food at reasonable prices. In case you like to hunt fossils, the Inn at Otter Crest is a short walk from Beverly Beach. Given that the ocean is eroding away the cliff face, and funds do not exist to do a professional fossil excavation, the State of Oregon allows anyone to keep fossils they find in the Beverly Beach cliff. If you find anything spectacular, please contact the University of Oregon or Oregon State to give them a look.

Amazing views, very clean room and nice staff. Could use some updating but all around good experience

Stairs! Stairs! Stairs!!!!!! Be prepared unless you are on he first floor. PROS: We stayed in room 243. Beautiful view and clean room and helpful staff. Rooms stayed very dark which was nice to be able to sleep in. CONS: Old rooms, no place to sit so we brought the broken outdoor chairs inside so we could visit and look at the ocean. Rusty items in the bathroom. I know it's the damp coast but for $165/night they could purchase new ones. One cadet heater to heat both rooms is not sufficient. Bey cold this time of year. We could hear the people in the next room very clearly. Insufficient locks especially since our room number was on our key should we have lost it. RESTAURANT was take out only Thursday night. We went back on Saturday because we didn't feel like driving anywhere. Service was very slow, inky one gal working and she was as the waitress/bartender. She was very nice. I also think she was very new. Food was OK. I had the special which was advertised as a bbq ribeye but it was prime rib. Good flavor but very fatty and way too rare (I ordered medium well) I have a fear of sending food back so I picked away at it. I must have missed the part that it would be slathered in BBQ sauce. My sister had clam strips which were cooked VERY well done, just the way I like them. Some don't like them that crispy. Fries were good. This is a Vacation International time share property which my sister is an owner but there wasn't any of those rooms available. I would hope they are nicer. Our stay wasn't horrible but for the price I don't know that we would stay there again. It's such a big property so it's a lot of walking and stairs.

This is my favorite place to stay on the Oregon Coast. Others have complained that the units need work. The units are mostly individually owned units and some are probably better maintained than others. We've booked directly with the inn itself and have not had any problems. The staff here are all so friendly and helpful. This is a wonderful get away. It is far off the highway so there is no traffic noise at all. We love to open the balcony door in the evening and going to sleep to the sounds of the surf crashing. It is such a relaxing way to end the day. The only small issues I have is that there is no proper desk for setting up a laptop computer. We also find it a nuisance accessing the ice machines. If you do not have a larger unit the ice machines can be quite a distance from your unit and in the evening it is difficult getting ice. Otherwise I highly recommend Inn at Otter Creek. It is our first choice on the Oregon Coast.

Not accessible for handicap. Room was very dirty, carpet was stained and dirty. No toilet paper. 3 towels in room for pool which is down the cliff. Nothing posted about needing. No room service. They have a shuttle to take your bags. Golf carts. Some staff very helpful and others very angry that they have to shuttle handicap. Asking why. How come. Room smelly. Paid extra for room with a view. The view is astonishing gorgeous. Bath tub cracked and stained. Internet fluctuates. Tv nope not able it has been disabled in office you can rent old DVDs.

Absolutely beautiful views. Great room. Only reason I took away one star is that the desk clerk didnt explain that our room was an uphill climb, so we declined the golf cart ride up to the room. It was a very steep climb, and had to make many stops along the way. But we survived. Next time, we will definitely use the complimentary ride. We brought our own dvds to watch, but couldnt find the dvd player remote, and when we called the front desk, they said maybe the people who had stayed in our room before us and had the adjoining room left the remote in the other room. They said they would look into it and let us know, but no one ever got back to us, and we ended up watching movies on my phone. We would definitely stay here again though! Those are minor details. Just make sure you use the golf cart ride to your room! Get the room with the panoramic view, you wont be disappointed!

Come for the weekend, stay for a lifetime. That is how I would sum up this property, location and the currounding features and amenities. The property is NW beautiful in terms of rustic landscaping. he buildings re a little worn but welcome to living on the coast. There is clearly a lot of ongoing maintenance and remodeling going on. The front desk staff was friendly and accomodating every time we interacted. Kevin in a[particular was terrific. We were in a condo with a loft bedroom overlooking the entire ocean with unobstructed views of incoming storms. seal and seabirds. Awesome views. The condo was in excellent condition with decent furnishings and appliances. This could not have been better. Like most restaurants in hotels these days, this one was take out only. But the services was excellent. Both timely and friendly and the food was fine. The only downside was the bed was uncomfortable for me. I didn't downgrade my rating as bed comfort is very personal. The mattress was in good condition as was all the bedding. Nice beach. Cool tidal pools. Great sunsets. This was so nice! I would come back again and again. Thanks so much!

We were so thankful to find this place last minute and will recommend it to our friends and family. We loved how the buildings are laid out to have their own view of the ocean but nestled in the trees and bushes to give a private feel. The staff provides golf cart service from parking lot to the rooms as the narrow walkways provide privacy and the best of the Pacific Northweat outdoors. The grounds are beautifully maintained with benches, picnic tables and barbecue grills for use. The location is just north of Newport to be out of the hustle and bustle of town but close to run back and forth. The room was clean and comfortable. There was a nice trail to hike to the Devil's Punchbowl and Mo's restaurant. Will come again!

Beautiful place to stay and relax. Excellent customer service. We live the view, the golf carts taking us up to our room and the surroundings. It is a private location and not crowded. The drive to your place is beautiful! Picturesque place to stay. Enjoy your vacation there, you will be happy you went! My kids love the playground there too.

This place is an oasis. When you arrive you feel like you're in another world. Head to the beach and you'll actually find another world in the tide pools. The beach is a short walk away. Wish I had another night to spend here.

Want one of the coolest location getaways, Otter Crest is it, we went swimming late night...the ocean is only a few yards away. The pool was so warm...I love this place. So peaceful and quiet and the view is second to none!

I'm really conflicted about how many stars to give this Inn. There's no question that the views can't be beat. But between the dated interior and the crazy uphill walk to our building, I don't think we will stay here again. Pros: Amazing full ocean views from rooms Outdoor heated pool - super warm and cozy On-site restaurant Friendly staff Private outdoor patio with tables/chairs Short walk to Devils Punchbowl Small fridge and microwave in room DVDs available in the lobby On-site playground for the kids On-site game room with ping pong and 2 arcade machines Cons: Inside of our unit was dated and needs updating It technically was clean but it didn't feel that way. Moldy, musty smell in room Super low thread-count towels (take your own for the pool!) Old bed sheets - could feel the piling when we climbed in bed at night Super thin tissues, toilet paper Weird tarp separates back private decks On-site restaurant only open Thurs-Sun The biggest con was the long, uphill walk to our room/building. They aren't all like this. The lower buildings don't have that much of a walk to the rooms. However, we were in one of the top buildings which made for an amazing view but a grueling uphill walk several times a day. If you call or stop by you can request someone drive you to your room in a golf-cart type vehicle but it wasn't practical to do that multiple times a day. My husband was recovering from knee surgery so that made it extra difficult. And on the rainy days it was a miserable trek. Getting down to your car was one thing. If you want to get down to the playground / ocean / restaurant / pool it was a couple more levels below that. And then you have to go back up. If you want really nice, cozy, affordable luxury this isn't your spot. If you want a no-frills experience with fantastic views and don't mind the hills then this is it!

Needed away for the weekend and stumbled upon Inn at Otter Crest. Don't forget your walking shoes. Room was nice and clean. Staff is very friendl

Must know: you cannot park by your room, but will be shuttled by staff. Nice facilities. Pretty setting on woodsy hillside overlooking the Pacific. Prepare for a good amount of hill walking. Sufficient outlets. Sufficient head room in bathtub. Comfortable bed. Working fridge/microwave/tv. I didn't care for sharing a porch. They do provide a barrier screen. A charge of $4 (each day/each title) for rental of old movies seemed a bit pricey, IMO. Quite a walk for ice or to main office. Cleaning staff did excellent work. [][][] Actual score = 4.6 out of 5 [][][]

I had never been here before but it is my new favorite place to stay. The rooms are lovely and clean with amazing views of the ocean. The service was awesome, especially the gentleman that help you to your room. There is a lighted staircase down to the beach - takes about 5 minutes - keep an eye out for agates! The property is filled with cute humming birds and wild bunnies, and the tide pools are very accessible. Overall it's a great place to stay and the location is nice and close to town. That being said, this hotel requires a ton of walking uphill (which was not a problem for me but may be for others) I would really recommend taking them up on the bellhop service, some rooms are quite the trek from the office / parking area . And of course due to covid, the restaurant and pool are closed which was a bummer.

We stayed here 30 years ago, then it was a great place. If it wasn't for the view this time we would of left early or requested another room. There HAD to be one better than what we got. Old outdated with original carpet, sink area was updated for a midget. I had to bend down to look in mirror. I'm 5'6". A material divider was placed between 2 rooms, wind came up and we heard a drumming allll night long. My husband took it down and told the front desk where to find it. Second, day I use their hair dryer and it took out the breaker to the whole room. This was room # 284. Please request another room please if you decide to stay here. The view was fantastic after my husband took down the drum. Front desk did recommend requesting an updated room next time. Who knew!! Won't be a next time though...

Beautiful property and view! We stayed here last minute after finding a great deal on nightly rates! Check in was quick and helpful. The room was older and looked redone! It was clean and welcoming. Our room had a 'guest book' where you could sign in and say your favorite parts about the area, ect. The divider between balconies banged in the wind all night long--it was pretty loud but, we were never there during the day so did not worry about it much! Very family friendly!

I got married here. The view is amazing, one of the best on the Oregon coast. The restaurant is quaint, with delicious food. Tide pools are awesome on the beach! Walk the trail to Flying Dutchman's Winery and Mo's at the Devil's Punchbowl. It's a short path there and back, well worth it.

This is the second time we have been here, and it's amazing. First time here was September 2020 for our honeymoon. I found this place online and booked a room the next day. They are very polite, helpful and resourceful about their beach and amenities. This weekend is our second time here and the prices for the view and room size with decor are top notch, stunning compared to the hotels we have viewed here on the coast. Not only are the reasonably priced compared to other hotels and the prices for their accommodations, which to be honest, other hotels are overpriced for the accommodations. The Inn is well worth the price. Also the receptionist is very personable, informed, and educated on the history of the Inn with providing us with tide pool times to view the sea life which I really appreciated and can't wait to see. I will definitely come here every time I stay at the coast because of the seclusion, cleanliness, great customer service and price. It is a great getaway and I am surprised it is not 5 stars.

The view is fabulous. You don't get the full 180 degrees from your room because of the side walls on the balcony but you do if you stand at the rail. There's no road noise and you can hear the ocean if you open the sliding glass door. The walls are thin and you can hear the people next door. Unlike many coastal accommodations it doesn't smell of mildew and the drains aren't slow. You park your car and they run you up the hill to your room. Not ideal for mobility impaired folks. We enjoyed our stay.

Our family LOVES the Inn at Otter Crest! Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. This is our go-to vacation spot on the Oregon Coast. (We are with a timeshare that keeps our rooms up-to-date.) Know before you go: lots of hills and it is 85 steps to the beach, which means it is 85 steps up from the beach, and then more steps to climb to your room. We know it, so we don't mind. Also a nice walk to Devil's Punch Bowl. If you hit low tide, you can go into the bowl from the inn's beach area. The pool is very warm, during C-19 expect to put your name on a list for the hot tub.

I really like the cookies from spyglass and the room was nice the service was amazing

Views were gorgeous! However our room had NO BED...just a pull out couch!!! Full kitchen, fireplace & tons of amenities on the property but no bed!!! Won't be coming back here at all

As far as beauty, you can't do much better than the exterior and views from here. The finally-opened restaurant had a very decent breakfast also. They've advertised opening "soon" for cocktail hour and entertainment or piano so I'm hoping that comes to fruition. Front desk staff could be a little more polished but, sadly, one doesn't find that often in this part of Oregon, owing to difficulty to find and keep quality staff. Still, our room was attractive enough. I think all units are individually owned so there is no consistency in furnishings and interiors and some are newly remodeled while others are in dire need of it. The funicular was not working (would have been fun) but I also understand it's quiet loud so maybe that was a blessing. Still a walk around the grounds, seeing the flora and fauna, and easy access to the beach, either down a tall staircase or through a nice walk, is a big plus.

Stayed this weekend there, I was less than impressed! My 5 year old found 2 knifes, bandaids with blood and a poem crumbled up in the pull out bed. I don't believe this place is throughly cleaned. I also thought it was overpriced for the old looking room we got, close to $250 a night. Less than impressed!!!

My family and I just stayed for two nights in room 114. We loved the view and location of the room, the pool/sauna was great, and the kids enjoyed the playground. I need to express the list of disappointments that we had on our stay. The check in process was clear and we headed to our room. Upon the arrival, we were slightly disappointed with the age and dated appearance of the room. When we saw the view, we figured we would just ignore the age and enjoy our two days there. Upon entering the bathroom, we saw the peeling discolored wall paper, stains on the carpet, (forgot to mention stains on the stairwell carpet), moved the recliner chair to find food debris and a spoon. Again, we told ourselves that we can make it through and enjoy the property and review. When we were headed to bed, we opened the fold out bed from the sofa. The top sheet was covered in sand. We removed the top sheet and then found popcorn, pretzels, and cigarette ashes on the sheet. We called the front desk and they said they would let management know and handed me the new bedding. Yesterday morning, I went to the front desk to let someone know about the condition of our room, again, received an apology and assurance that someone would contact us. Today when I checked out, the blonde woman that assisted me the day before bolted away from the desk when I arrived. It felt as if she was avoiding me because of my complaint yesterday. Obviously we were disgusted by the room, dirt, and tired appearance of the room considering it would be $514.00 for a two night stay. I understand that things happen but having given two chances for management to hear our situation, it was either never relayed to management or management decided to not respond. Your website also stated that there is a restaurant on property, but everyone there told us it was closed. This was a key factor in us choosing your establishment as well. Since there was no manager contact nor known effort to make the situation right, I do not feel I have any option but to share my experience on social media including yelp, tripadvisor, and inform Hotels.com about our stay. Very disappointed with our stay at the Inn.

My family has a timeshare here and I've been coming here for over twenty years (god that makes me feel old--I'm not, I swear). There have been a lot of changes that Otter Crest has undergone during that time. It definitely was feeling/looking neglected for a while, but there have been numerous renovations and changes over the last few years, most if not all for the better. I've only stayed here once as a hotel (as opposed to a timeshare), so in the interest of full disclosure, this will be based nearly wholly on timeshare experience. First of all, the setting: the Inn, as mentioned by others, is a collection of separate condo-type buildings. Each one has about ten or twelve rooms. The upstairs units have a loft and can be connected to an adjoining room as well. Consequently, our place happens to sleep ten, which is pretty awesome when you want to invite a bunch of friends and/or family, which often happens with me. The lowest units are located on a small point about 100 feet above the ocean. Then the rest of them continue a few hundred feet up the hillside. The views are amazing between Cape Foulweather, Seal Rock, and the Devil's Punchbowl, there is a lot of beautiful scenery going on. The parking lot is removed from the units, so there are golf carts available to haul you and your luggage to your place. There is a pool with two hot tubs and a deck with chairs for those few glorious days you get on the Oregon Coast when you have a chance to lay out and absorb some sun. There is a restaurant on site, which has perfectly decent food. Then there are stairs down to what essentially is a private beach. Although technically anyone can park in the parking lot and walk down to the beach from there, unless you know about it, and are willing to drive well off the beaten path (a couple miles off 101?), then it is pretty much just guests that are down on the beach. It's amazing how much a beach can change in two decades. What used to be a complete sand beach has transformed into a sand on the high ground, while the sand has been washed away from rock beds down by the water line. There are some great tide pools at low tide and if you walk around the point (to the north), you can almost always see a huge herd(?) of seals sunning themselves on the rocks. You should definitely head south at low tide as well to explore the Devil's Punchbowl. You can walk right into it if the tide is low enough, and it's pretty cool when the waves start coming back in. The rooms themselves are decent. Most have either kitchenettes or full kitchens. As pointed out by other reviewers, each owner can choose what s/he wants as far as design and flooring, appliances, etc., so each one will be slightly difference. Otter Crest *is* secluded/remote, so you do have about a 20 minute drive into Newport for groceries if/when needed. But the beauty, serenity and peacefulness of Otter Crest is something that is very dear to my heart. I've had a lot of really amazing memories there and look forward to many more.

We had stayed here last weekend for one night... we were the photographers for a wedding that day on site, so thought it would be great to just walk to our room that evening after the wedding... First off- do not use the online res system, it will tell you they are out of rooms every time. Don't know why, but it does. The groom of the wedding gave us the tip to call in and make our res over the phone... so old school! But so Oregon coast! We got a room with an ocean view and kitchenette. When we got there, check in at the desk was a bit disorganized. The man pulled out a box with slips in alphabetical order... um, are we in 1980? Use the computer in front of you? Then we were told the "bellman" would take us to our room in the golf cart, You can't drive to your room, all parking is on the outskirts of the hotel. The place is like a maze. Three tiers against the hill side- prepare for stair climbing! Once we got in our room, it looked decent. King sized bed, very clean, but worn side tables. The kitchenette and bathroom had new tile and fixtures. BUT.....there was not one dish or silverware in the kitchenette!!!! Good thing I pack prepared with my own cheese board, knives, silo cups, and wine key. Kitchenette consisted of a very small sink, coffee pot with one serving of prepackaged weak ass coffee, paper coffee cups and stir sticks. No dishes, but they had a small fridge and separate wine fridge! Misleading if you ask me! The building is probably from the 70's with minor renovations. It has a killer view and is right next to Devils punch bowl, but that's about it. It's sad because this place could be a really kick ass beach hotel if a little effort were put into the place!

Nice place to stay but I wouldn't want to stay if it was rainy however they do offer bellhop service to take you to and from your car and room otherwise prepare to walk up and down the property.

This place is amazing! I will definitely be back again! Ocean views, car service to room, trails, restaurant, beach access. The grounds are well maintained and clean. Hiking trails. Pool, spa and sauna. Friendly staff. We only stayed one night, but next time we will stay at least 2 to enjoy all the beauty and amenities. While you are here low tide beach access is a must. Check out Otter Rock and the Devil's Punchbowl!

I stayed at the Inn at Otter Crest for a wedding last weekend. Here are some of my observations: Location: The Inn at Otter Crest is in a fantastic location -- off the highway enough that you don't hear any traffic noise with access to the beach right on the property. Its close to the Devil's Punch Bowl and Beverly Beach. You can access both by a nature path that cuts through the property. We also saw whales from the bluff on the property several times. Service: The front desk and bell staff were very friendly and helpful. I preferred walking to and from my room from the car and around the property but the bell service was always kind enough to ask if I needed a golf cart ride if they saw me walking (cars are not allowed beyond the parking lot). Room: The room was super clean and tidy. The decor was not my style. Let's call it kitschy-- a little bit of this and a little bit of that. The bathroom was newer and nice and clean. There was a small fridge, microwave and set of dishes in the closet so I was able to prepare my own breakfast (the restaurant on site is only open in the evening). The view from my deck was excellent. The seating on the deck could have been a little more comfy. The one complaint I had about my room was the squeaky floor of the room above me. I could hear every footstep and squeak of the bed. Not great for sleeping in on a relaxing vacation. Amenities: There is a pool and gym which I did not see. There is also a restaurant/bar/reception hall on site. I ate in the restaurant one night during my stay. The food was just okay. One evening our large wedding party came to the restaurant a little before closing which I understand can be annoying for the service staff but it would have been good business to stay open a little longer to make the place a little extra money as it was fairly empty. Overall I had a good experience and felt that I got an excellent deal for what I paid with ocean views and immediate beach access.

Our room had mice! First morning we woke up to mouse feces on the countertops, drawers and space under the sink in the kitchen. We reported the issue and the management office said the had sent someone to take care of it. Second day I actually woke up to see a mouse running across the kitchen. We never got offered to switch rooms and in retrospective should have left immediately but we had friends from overseas visiting and didn't want to spend the day looking for hotel rooms in the middle of the summer and moving (we were there for 2 nights) We also got told when we checked in that we were "upgraded" but after reporting the mice problem, the management called early afternoon to say that there had been a mistake and we needed to move out of the second room because someone was checking in that night and if it would be "OK" to have housekeeping move our belongings out (No, it is NOT OK) so we wasted 2 hrs coming back, moving our stuff out and then waiting for them to come over to lock the door to the adjacent room. I don't think we will ever be back. Beautiful ocean views but not worth the vermin and bad management. We stayed Aug 2-4, 2019 on room 414 if you want to know

The only reason this is getting 3 stars is the room and the view were fabulous. The reason for it not having 5 stars is the fact that we have no electricity for the fridge, the coffee pot , the microwave or lighting in the kitchen area. We called last night and were assured that it would be taken care of. This morning I call, because still not repaired. I'm am told to write it on the comment card..good bye ! Wow ! A simple fix of flipping a breaker would have taken care of this, but no. Now you have a bad review. Oh, and incase you thought this no big deal...WE NEEDED THE FRIDGE FOR INSULIN, which we will now need to toss and see if we can get a replacement
