I just loved this place! The proprietors are so nice and this place managed to be cute and comfortable without being cutesy and overbearing. There were all sorts of folks staying there in all different age brackets, socio-economic groups and with different visions of what a trip to the coast should look like.
Breakfast at these places has the potential to be unpleasant and awkward, but socially it was nice and the food was great! Coffee is ready on the landing at 7am, with breakfast at 8:30- so if you're an early riser you don't have to suffer a caffeine headache and if you want to sleep in a little, you won't miss breakfast.
The linens were lovely, bed comfortable, everything was well kept and clean.
Space heater for extra cold nights, shampoo, hair dryer, wine glasses and corkscrew, books, writing desk, robes, extra towels, extra blankets, extra pillows it just felt like they were trying to anticipate everything a guest could possibly need and to provide it so you wouldn't even have to ask.
Location couldn't be better- the first day we just started walking and I felt like we were blocks within everything we wanted to see. Looking for a nice stroll in a residential area? Want to walk along the riverfront? Swing by the bakery or brewery or coffeehouse or odd little gallery or post office or museum? You don't even have to get out your keys- they are all within very easy walking distance, if you don't mind a little uphill-downhill action.
Keep in mind that some rooms don't have a shower... I didn't find this problematic as I was in deep need of some relaxation time and the tub was deep, clean and has a shower hose for rinsing, but if you love a hot shower in the morning, make sure to do your research or ask when you call for a reservation.
I should also note- wow, the movie selection is pretty amazing! I really didn't think I would care about this-they list this on their website and I thought it was kind of cute that they thought it was worth mentioning... but dang, it really is worth mentioning. If it's crummy out and you find yourself wanting to hole up in your comfy room with a movie and your sweetie, I am sure you will find something that you both want to watch.
Overall- love this place, love the food, love the location, love the amenities, love the tiny Chihuahua that shows up after breakfast . Book your trip to Astoria now and stay here!
