Neighborhood feel with a 5-10 min walk to everything downtown/waterfront. Very clean and charming. Loved our two nights in small but comfortable room 221. I loved all the kitschy and vintage furnishings throughout the house and felt like we had everything we needed: microwave, fridge, keurig, extra blanket and pillows, plates/silverware/cups/mugs. Extra towels and coffee supplies available in the hall was a nice touch, plus great selection of games and DVDs to borrow. Would be fun to stay here with a group and hang out in the spacious common areas on the main floor.

Zero refund of our $970 for the week after we left the first morning not even showering. Climb to attic to see dust ruffle spilling out onto floor, smoke alarm taped up with Saran wrap, mattress pad too small for bed, but the clencher was our anticipated, as advertised gorgeous view of the Columbia. Sit in a grubby upholstered chair with the springs pushing up into your butt, to look out a window that does not open and gaze upon the back of some buildings, a homeless encampment to glimpse a partial view of the river. NOPE We would have been less disgusted had our host simply refunded a portion of our stay so that we would have had funds to find a place we could be happy. It was our first visit from NY to Astoria, we ended up beat feeting out of town.

I've been here before, so I was surprised by the lack of communication from the owner, which makes me think is this a new owner from the previous year? I accidentally left my phone charger in the room and texted the owner. She replied I could stop by and get it - which is unrealistic as I live two hours away. I offered to pay the postage, but she failed to respond. Very disappointing - I go to Astoria twice a year and won't be staying here again. I don't understand the lack of response. Note that I give 98% 5-star reviews of the hundreds I have written. Not this time.

Booked through the business’s website and the calendar was not intuitive and I booked the wrong night. My bad. I realized my mistake the next day and tried to cancel less than 24hrs after booking. I was informed I was within 30days of the stay date so I was not eligible for a refund. I was in fact 30days from the stay date. The owner figured they were doing a favor by offering to refund 50%. The rationale: it’s a small business in a competitive market and cancellations make booking difficult so they have to be strict about their policy. To a degree, I understand this, but the benefit of being a small business is the flexibility you have when communicating directly with your customers. But before 60 days for a full refund, before 30days for 50%, and after 30days NO refund?? This is an unnecessary policy, one that I’ve never seen in any privately owned hotel/motel/b&b. Two days after the initial 50% refund offer I reached out again and was told that offer was no longer available. So the options are to cancel for no refund so the owner can conceivably double their money by booking the room again or to keep the room and leave it empty. Congrats on the easiest money you’ve ever received, I guess. This policy works more as a customer punishment or some sort of accountability method…? Don’t offer to book this through your website when you’re also offering it on Airbnb. I get using different platforms but you’re not standardized across the platforms. If you’re going to continue this ridiculous policy, update your website to make that refund cancellation policy WAY more obvious. The only reason I’m giving a star for service is the caretaker was pleasant even though they are left mediating while the owner manages from outside of Astoria. Would not recommend this place based on principle alone. I’ll update this if we end up staying here, but this experience has really soured it for me and we weren’t planning on staying that night anyway. UPDATE: Owner is not having it. They apparently misunderstood what happened. I booked two rooms. Next day called to cancel (30days from reservation). They offered 50% refund. I had to confer with other party involved with the stay. Responded two days later wondering if the 50% was still available. It was not. Asked if I wanted to cancel for no refund. So no. I do not want to cancel my reservation just so you can potentially rebook the room and get double the money. Is that petty? Maybe. But if I am going to be forced pay for a reservation I’d rather just keep it and do with it as I please. And now they’re bolstering their star rating with fake reviews. Change your cancellation policy timeframe to a week, even two. If you can’t book rooms within that timeframe in your Airbnb that you manage from afar, that unfortunately sounds like a poor investment.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this place. It was a short walk from the bus station and all the shops and restaurants, and the house itself is very charming. There are all sorts of beautiful, unique antiques in the main area and all the rooms. They have a massive DVD collection, DVD players in each room, and plenty of board games to entertain yourself if you just want a quiet evening at the house. We only stayed overnight, so we didn't partake, but it's nice to know they are there for future visits! Our room had a microwave and a refrigerator in case we needed them, and having our own private shower and bathroom was an added bonus. We stayed in Room 221, which was lovely. There was plenty of natural light, and the bed was amazingly comfortable. We joked that we wanted to move in! Candy was very available via text and allowed us to check in early since the room was ready. Overall, the whole experience was practically perfect. We look forward to returning!

I absolutely loved this hotel and wish we could have stayed longer than one night! We booked the attic room, and it gave total grandma vibes in the best way. Lacy curtains and tablecloths, turquoise carpeting flowered comforter, the free-standing bathtub. Even a stained glass along the stairwell leading up which is identical to my own grandmother's old house. It was so cozy, the bed and giant lounger sofa were insanely comfortable, the chairs looking out the window toward the water were so nice for morning coffee, and I really enjoyed having a glass of wine in the bathtub at night. ||Downstairs is equally old-fashioned and great. No check-in desk, just a keypad. We had no issues with parking on the street across from the hotel. And location is right by the Pigeon Steps and only a few blocks away from plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, and the water. So cute.

I decided to do a spontaneous trip to Astoria and was able to book a room here last minute. I think the price I had was worth it. Check in and check out was easy. You would need a code to get into the building AND a separate code for your room. I love how my room was equipped with a microwave, refrigerator and utensils. And love, loved how the shower is separated from the toilet/bathroom sink. It was quiet in the whole building despite seeing other guests. Lots of free street parking as well, and very walkable to downtown Astoria. I would come back if I were to stay overnight in Astoria.

Great location in town. Can usually find on air bnb for a reasonable price compared to other places to stay. Host Candi is very responsive and has been flexible to meet my needs. Only issues I've ever encountered have been with housekeeping, but not anything serious. I will stay here again, and would definitely recommend highly.

LOVELY hidden room up the stair case. Perfect for a historic get away during the seafood & wine festival. we have loved our room and how close this house is to the shops, bars & restaurants! Marvelous place to stay! Beware the 9pm quiet hours though we were having too much fun during our girls getaway. The owners are very reachable and helpful to make your stay wonderful! Thank you!

Confirmed and accepted my money for a reservation only to message that they wanted to cancel two weeks later so they could raise rates by $100/night because they forgot to change the rates on their own direct booking site. This was after confirming via email the specific dates two weeks prior. Had been a multiple visit guest, but my current trip will be my last stay here.

This is a clean, inexpensive lodging option in Astoria in an attractive older home in a historic district. Having said that, it also was the only unpleasant lodging experience of our 12-day trip to the Pacific Northwest. Room 221 where we stayed is TINY with no closets or hanging space because what apparently was one closet now has a toilet and one other likely prior closet has a shower. The sink is in the room itself across from the bed. Additionally, we arrived on September 9th when the temperature reached the upper 80's . This room is on the west side of the house so it cooked in the afternoon sun. Only one of the windows would open, there is of course no a/c, so even with 3 fans going we had difficulty going to sleep because of the temperature in the room. Our room would have worked nicely for a single person even a few days later when the temperatures in coastal Oregon dropped, but it was a very uncomfortable night for the 2 of us, who by the way are from Mississippi, so not exactly unaccustomed to some heat.

This was such a charming and convenient place to stay. Within walking distance to the water/mainstreet/downtown area, free curb street parking. Very well kept cozy little common space in the downstairs area with old antique furniture (admittedly the house does have that old house smell when you walk in but it goes away within minutes and you cant avoid it if you want to stay in such a fantastic antique restored dwelling. Our room was great - comfy and spacious bed, fantastic claw foot bath tub in which I took a very relaxing and luxurious bath. We had a shared but private feeling patio in the back which offered a great view of the bridge, sunset, and downtown buildings. Reasonably priced relative to other options. Very easy self check in check out process. Would recommend and stay again for sure!
