Disappointing.
Stayed here with my father over spring break. We were really excited to stay here because it was a cute little 1-br cabin with a full bedroom and a pull-out bed, fireplace, mini-kitchen, and full bath. Seemed nice enough.
You check in down the road at their head office, the Cannon Beach Hotel. Our rate was over $120 per night. Caretakers were plenty nice. Got to our little room. Sadly, the one we requested was right on the road. My mistake when booking reservations. So we got to listen to traffic, and gawk back at the people rudely staring into our windows as they walked by.
Bathroom - quite nice. my favorite part of the hotel.
Kitchen - worked out just fine. Mini-stove and oven. 3/4ths sized fridge. Just enough dishes to go around.
Dining room - nothing exciting. Table wobbly.
Living room - Couch was stained to disgusting-high-heaven. I couldn't stand to look at it. I know pets are allowed here, so my imagination ran wild with what could possibly be the giantic, disgusting blob right where my head would rest. Seriously...water stains, what looked like smashed-in cheeto's (fingernail polish maybe?)... it was nasty. Kept it covered with a sheet or blanket the entire week. Didn't want to look at it, let alone touch it. Next..the fireplace. Much to mine and my father's surprise, this was officially the first fireplace we had ever seen in our combined years that produced ZERO HEAT. Apparently, the McBee cottages have mastered the art of the cold fire. Completely worthless for warming next to, or drying ocean-soaked clothing. Mostly just turned it on for ambiance. Second note about the fireplace - I don't know if there was a gas leak or what, (and you might think i'm crazy for saying it..) but there was this incredible high-pitched squeal that came out of it... constantly. Even with the flames off. My 50+ year old father, bless his heart, could not hear it... which made me think maybe I was going crazy, but I've concluded he's just old. It came and went, changed its pitch, and generally drove me INSANE. It hurt to listen to that for 5 days. Okay, on to the fold-out bed: A joke. I've been on many-a fold-out beds, and this was by far the worst. Anyone who's been in a sinking, paper-thin mattress probably knows what i'm talking about. no further explination needed. TV worked fine.
Bedroom - After complaining to the father about my sleepless night on the pull-out bed (thanks to squealing fireplace, traffic, and worthless excuse for a bed), I switched to the bedroom. Very cute. VERY uncomfortable. Basically it was one big rock with a sheet on top of it, joined by 2 little rocks that were supposed to be pillows. I was up every single night for at least 2 hours trying to get comfortable, all the while clenching my teeth and muttering under my breath "just wait until i get home and log into yelp..... you'll get it, McBee room 28!!" Suffice to say, I did not sleep well this trip.
Needless to say, I am saddened by this little place. I really wanted to like it. They've done a mostly good job making it look nice. But with all the issues I had... not worth the price tag.
