Top Ilwaco Hotel Reviews

Norblad Hotel

Norblad Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Location is excellent with everything within walking distance. We stayed in Suite 206, which is a corner suite with its own bathroom. There was a cute egg-shaped swing chair hanging from the ceiling and a long couch but no TV, which was fine because we were hardly in the room. There were two bathrobes, blow dryer, and a mini tower fan available in the closet. Room and bathroom were very clean. Recommend using the provided earplugs or picking up a fan noise maker since the hotel has several bars across the street that play live music on weekends and delivery/garbage trucks early in the mornings. The check-in desk is up three short flights of stairs and there are no elevators so keep that in mind if you have mobility issues. Parking was plentiful on the street."

"A nice place to stay (we've been a few times now), between the main thoroughfare and the beach. Things have improved over the years, although it appears there are some bits and pieces that are still in progress or need to be done (e.g., some paint chipping in the room). Third floor is best for views of the beach, but second floor isn't too bad either; ground floor is mostly the grassy knoll. Prices are very affordable. No breakfast (they had something years ago, but that's gone), but usually coffee and a snack in the lobby."
