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.

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.

Very cozy and clean room. The bed was extremely comfortable. There were a limited number of things to do within walking distance, although it’s a short drive to cape disappointment.

Overall good stay, the no front desk/regular onsite staff is usually okay, but the responses to the number we were given for questions or help was only occasionally helpful and most of them seemed like auto texts with no real person on the other end to actually respond to guests. Overall the hotel was nice and comfortable. Service could be improved with consistent and timely responses

You aint from around here....i dont see you.
As much as i want to give this place 5stars..sadly i cant. Upon check in i wated in line when my turn came the lady at the desk looking at the desk w me in periferal suddenly turned started messing w food plates for another customer the waitress finished w her customer then came to desk i asked to be checked in they sent a 3rd lady to check in desk. That just seemed rude. The food could have waited and the lady could have atleast acknowledged me. Then i get to the humble yet clean and comfortable room...and the t.v is broken like the screan was scrambled or something. Its sad honestly i was looking forward to havi ng dinner and drinks in their restaurant. The food looked good and the view of the bay was enticing but i saw the service and decided to eat elsewhere. That said i may try it again maybe just bad timing.

Great little hotel
Nice little hotel close to cape disappointment. Staff was accommodating after I caught COVID and had to reschedule. That alone would bring me back, but the room was clean, area was nice, and the staff were friendly.

Decent rooms at an older facility but maintained in good condition. Use the stairs to walk down to Main Street with several solid restaurants. Breakfast was super basic with few options for protein. As with many motels, they are struggling with limited staff so be kind.

Worth a visits; canines welcome!
In light of the firework presentation and farmer's market paired with brilliant weather, we feel fortunate to have found a room in the inn! But fate smiled on us as we traveled to Ilwaco with our two labradors and Salt Hotel welcomed our four-legged companions -- yes, plural. The rooms were fairly basic and thankfully no carpet. The hot and cold taps must have been European as they were on the wrong side of the highway but once we figured that out, there were no more cold showers. Proximity to the marina walk was great and we were minutes from both the Cape Disappointment and the Seaview, a great place to find beach access. Salt's pub served savory food and had a fantastic Old Fashioned. And they are down the way from another great restaurant with local friendly service. If I had a complaint, it would be the noise. While Salt can't control impolite guests at 1:30am, perhaps there's some noise canceling headphones for an additional fee. ;-) Overall, it was personable, in spite of the post-covid handling of check in and out, but that didn't keep the owner from saying hello and even knowing our names. We'll be back.

Might have paid too much.
Definitely not as much as I expected for $250(can) a night. Check in lady was nice but she’s only there till 8:30 then gone till 11:00 am. Room #1 was very dim in our room, no bedside tables, bathroom was tiny, shower dripped so the last person had screwed it so tight I could barely get it on, fridge was noisy. The bed was very comfy, it was very quiet, and nice and close to the water. Nice little pub with decent food attached to the inn.
