Reviews of Salt Hotel & Pub 3 stars

So close to my charter!! Great little pub attached, good prices, and great fries!

Drippy shower in room 21

Location- easy and clean. Nice bed and linens.

Gas fireplace outside - had to provide my own propane. Had a hard time with shower - knives are worn and could not turn them easily. We need ice maker on site.

Very friendly staff Very clean room and facility Very close to the boat dock able to walk to the boat

Have no dislikes

Curtesy coffee& tea appreciated. Absolute calm. Room well sound-proofed. Ground-floor pub used & appreciated. No parking problems.

Toilet and wash bowl renovated, but not the shower. However it was functional.

Always love staying at the Salt with our pup! Really enjoy the contact free check in / out while assistance is just a text away. The rooms are cozy with a tv, small microwave, and fridge. The shower is a bit small but the water pressure is outstanding. The new private sauna (available by reservation) is a nice touch. There is also a supply room that has amenities, ice, and board games to borrow. It’s beautiful walking around the harbor or there are lots of other places to explore just a short drive away. There are not a lot of eateries in walking distance but they more than make up for it with the onsite restaurant. We’ve enjoyed many good meals there.

I loved the location, the views. The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean and inviting. I liked the offer of "pre-read" books. Deanne in the Pub was able to have the kitchen accommodate my request for one piece of fish and a delicious grilled salad salad. The market up the street is convenient and doesn't price gouge. The SALT hits every last mark for a perfect get away. Loved being able to take the bridge to Astoria, go through the city of Raymond on the Willapa.

The refrigerator was very noisy.

Staff was friendly, the room was clean the views of the Marina were lovely and the Pub had great food and drinks. Hotel had a lot of character.

Comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay, well designed units, backs onto marina. Restaurant on premises, and another down street. Easy parking, free, across street. 15 minutes to outstanding state park. Ilwaco has interesting book store, yarn store, vibrant Sat. Mkt , huge antique store, galleries, and very interesting history museum. Small place but fun! 1/2 hr to Astoria with vibrant Sun. Mkt and plenty of places to see and eat. Trip up the Long Beach Peninsula makes for a great mini-vacation. Local bus avail in front of hotel!

Nothing! It would be nice to have a functioning bakery in operation again or a place to have some breakfast foods right next to hotel though

Location

Very bright ceiling light, softer color lightbulb suggested!

Not to sound like a Dos Equis beer ad, but I don't usually (in fact, hardly ever) give 5 stars all around for any business but when I do, it's because that business exceeded my expectations and then some. From the convenient online registration and check-in process to the welcoming pre-arrival communication and Q&A with the staff, I already experienced a level of service rarely provided by 5 star, $$$$ hotels. Upon arrival, I was immediately pleased by the unique decor, thoughtful touches and cleanliness both in and outside the property. Suffice to say, I had one of the most comfortable and relaxing stays in all of the places I've visited in the PNW. The accommodations (including an awesome dry sauna, FREE with advance reservation) alone earn the SALT 4.9 stars in my book, but what really makes this hotel a 5-star gem is the incredible hospitality and hotelier mentality of the staff. All of my communication was via DM texts, but the prompt, informative and personalized responses I received each and every time felt like I had my own dedicated concierge, which is why I stated SALT exceeded my expectations and then some. I'm so glad to have discovered this diamond in the rough (I say "rough" only because the charming town of Ilwaco is overshadowed by its more famous neighbors Long Beach, WA and Astoria, OR) and I'm proud to say the SALT will be my go-to spot whenever I feel the need to get out to coastal WA or OR. Can't wait to book my next reservation!

That this hotel is a 3+ hour drive away from the Seattle metro area, but it's worth it!

Location. Staff

The bed felt like you were sleeping on cement. The shower head was so high that unless you wanted to wash your hair you couldn’t get a good shower. No comfortable place to sit. We won’t stay there again. Would not recommend.

Great location, spectacular beauty, quiet on weekdays (before summer crowds). Comfortable bed, nice linens, clean. Real glasses, cups and spoons! Sweet complimentary locally made soap samples.

Our room was not designed for comfort (except in comfy bed). Very cramped, furniture bulky, practically useless. One petite, sturdy, but hard chair; and a trendy?!? armchair with the shortest legs ever seen, at most 8" from floor to seat?!? For adults? And just as odd, we are to enjoy the amenity of a shower "pod" or "tube" too small to move more than 3" in any direction. Just forget about retrieving anything dropped. For adults? Not these oldsters. Guess it's time for "accessible" accommodations, like it or not. We wanted to love it, but....

Restaurant on site, sauna for free!, dog friendly, on boardwalk, walk to cider company, clean room, comfy enough bed, good communication via text with staff, charming! We loved it.

We are anted pub to be open later for drinks and earlier for breakfast.
