Pros: This is a diamond in the rough. It looks like any roadside motel. While checking in, I asked to use the bathroom and found a pretty serviceable indoor pool. I exited the back door and found a breath taking view of the waterfront. We stayed in room 210, the north-facing second floor, which had amazing views of the Astoria-Megler bridge. You can also spot the Riverfront Trolley, which we hopped on for $1 to carry us closer to downtown and back to the hotel (also a very scenic ~1 mile stroll along the water, but after a long day of walking, hitching a ride is appealing). The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, hot showers, safe rooms, free coffee. Cons: The wifi can be slow at peak times and the outlets in our room were sparse. Great value!
