Before Salt Hotel and Pub opened or reopened(?) we only thought of Ilwaco as a fishing stop. Now for us it’s a destination! Great food and drinks at the pub, cozy comfy rooms, minutes from Long Beach and Astoria. Highly recommend!

This hotel was really fun. It is great for families and kids. I loved that it was safe, you could buy the things you liked in the room, and they had their own vibe. The place was generally pretty clean and very comfortable. They had local goat soap, decorative pillow covers, used books, and cute coffee mugs, and all the supplies you need for puppers. The only suggestions for improvement I have is, I would recommend that more attention be focused on cleaning as there was a large spider with a large web in the lamp next to my head. Also, the staff took about 10-15 minutes to get us checked in. The beds were a bit squeaky for romance. I would still say it is worth it. Thank you. It made our trip so special. :) if/ when we come back, this is my new favorite place.

Clean property and nice room. Staff was great. Did not like the shower, very low water pressure in shower and small shower stall. shower head was way to high. They should install hand held shower head so you can clean your entire body.

The property was quiet and well maintained. It was perfect for a peaceful weekend get away. I’m happy with the price we paid as well. Two things could use some improvement. The mattress that we slept on was so hard and uncomfortable that neither my husband or myself got a full night of sleep. The showers were comically small and didn’t have a functional shelf to set hygiene products on, so we kept the shower door open in order to grab products as we needed them. It felt silly to not include something as simple as a shelf to make the showering experience better.

Everything was very nice at your hotel and restaurant. I don't like doing reservations through the internet. I had questions on the rooms and there was no one to answer my question's.Im coming back on the 27th & 28th of July to stay in your hotel again.

The Salt rocks!

I had a very pleasant stay at the Salt. The room was small but quite comfortable, clean and cozy. The simple furnishings suited me just fine. Everything worked well: heat, lighting (appreciated lights over the bed), hot water, etc.The shower was on the smaller side, but adequate. I will be sure to book the Salt on my next trip to Ilwaco. Oh, and the Salt Bar was an excellent place for dinner!

A nice area by the docks. Office was usually closed but if you needed something you had to text. The pub was not open everyday. The room was clean and had all the necessary items. I wasn't impressed with the bathroom and the ceiling lights didn't work.

We have a very small room with good light. It’s fresh, clean and decor minimal but on trend. I LOVE the down comforter! Cant believe this simple motel uses such high end bedding. I brought my own coffee for a pour over because motels usually do t offer good branded coffee but I didn’t need to. They provide an electric kettle for hot water which I’ve never seen before. It’s also refreshing to see solar panels on the roof. They also provide locally made soaps which is also mindful and environmentally conscious, no plastic bottles. We are just so impressed. We also had some of the best fish tacos outside of Mexico while looking at the harbor downstairs in the pub. My guess of the age of this motel build was late 60’s or 70’s when the builders failed to see the harbor as a desired view so the profile of the units are directed to the street rather than the river. Only 2 units face the harbor which next time we book will ask for those units. We love the outdoor communal spaces but it’s still too cold to enjoy. Overall, this is a gem that exceeds the cost value.

What a cool little port motel. It's very clean and has all the amenities you need. Ilwaco is close to everything and this would be a great base if you wanted to do some charter fishing. My only knock is that the walls a a bit thin. This is only a problem when people are outside yelling or whistling at each other. The rooms are small and comfy. I knocked a star off staff because there wasn't one. Our bed was cozy. The towels are fluffy. The soaps smell nice. Give Salt a try.
