Few things are as welcoming or adorable as freshly-baked cookies at check-in.

A block from town, 2 from the beach, or stay right at ‘home’ on the river.

The name doesn't lie. In the heart of Seaside, a short jaunt to Ocean Beach.

Hotel pool refreshes and de-stresses.

An indoor pool for lap-swimmers and doggy-paddlers alike.

We tried being stressed out, but the onsite sauna and hot tub were having none of that noise.

Free hot breakfast starts the day off right.

A short drive from Pacific University with plenty of shops and restaurants to hit up along the way.

Right on the river with a laid-back patio for stunning sunset views.

Free breakfast! Yes, there’s coffee.

Suburban spot near it all – fab dining, local art galleries, NW wines, boutiques and spas.

Ace jumping-off point for exploring the great outdoors or even the great Pacific University.

You know what’s nice to wake up to? Free breakfast, that’s what.
