Shelburne Hotel

Beautiful historical hotel with a great pub downstairs. Only downside some issues with the shower (water kept swinging rapidly from hot to cold).

This is probably one of the best coastal hotels in Washington, even though it doesn't have an oceanview. The historical look alone gives you some of an ambience and despite being next to the road, I remember it being quiet. Once you're settled in your room, you easily forget that you're near the road, because the historical serenity will pick you right up. It also has gardens outside to make it look welcoming. It is within walking distance from the ocean and you get access to the saltwater pool at their sister property, Adrift. I've stayed in two properties with this association, including Shelburne in Seaview and Bowline in Astoria. There are a few small improvements that could be made. It would be nice if they served breakfast. There is a restaurant downstairs and it's a very nice setting, but to my knowledge, they only do lunch and dinner.

Location is great, staff lovely. Mattress was nice.

Need much more light in #8 bathroom and room. I could barely see in the bathroom. You also need to add some more hooks to hang multiple towels. And shelves would help. Pillows were awful. Way too high for a comfort.

Wonderful historic hotel. Friendly staff. Loved it!

It’s a historic hotel, so I expected the quaint quirkiness that comes with an old building. The room was lovely, the staff was nice and helpful, the dinner in the pub was good. My room was nice and comfortable, the only thing I wash it had was some sort of view. (It did not advertise one, so that’s not a problem) I did enjoy having the roof deck to sit out on for coffee, but wished there had been a view of something.

Hair and mold in the shower and bathroom. It was way too expensive for the quality of the rooms.

My poor night at this hotel isn’t the hotels fault. We were in the attic and it was hot. Having said that, the windows are old and for some reason can’t be opened all the way so they give you a little block of wood to prop it open. That wasn’t enough to cool it down. Had all the windows worked (one didn’t open at all) and opened all the way, we might have been a little cooler. I knew there was a clawfoot tub, but I didn’t see in the room description that there was no shower. It’s a lovely old hotel but I just couldn’t get comfortable to sleep. On a positive note, the staff were very nice and helpful. By the way, the attic room is a long climb up and after a certain time, they rope off the steps closest to the room. I don’t know why.

Room on busy road and no curtain on 1 glass doir
