We stayed in one of the condos that overlooked the ocean and it was really nice. You can easily walk down to the beach. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Cathy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Room comfort Brand new unit with private patio with unobstructed view of Pacific Ocean. Very modern and clean furnishings. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Elena Sep 24, 2025 This was the worst experience I’ve ever had using Hotels.com. As a single female traveler, I spent a lot of time researching a safe place where I could rest during a long drive. Instead, I arrived at the GPS location only to find no sign of the property at all. After several frustrating calls—one went to a property management office that was already closed—I finally reached another hotel’s front desk. Only then did I learn that they were handling check-in for this place. (Much later I found a separate email with instructions, but I never saw it in time since I was on the road.None of these details were shared in the actual App) The front desk explained that the property was brand new, partially under construction, and that I would be the only guest on-site. I was shocked. Following their directions, I drove through an unfinished building site in total darkness until I reached a cluster of bungalows with no lights, no staff, and no security. As a woman traveling alone, it felt extremely unsafe. I didn’t even get out of the car. Instead, I immediately contacted the property to decline the room and booked a nearby motel where I felt safe. ##### Elena Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Aimee Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Bowline Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Astoria-Hotels-Bowline-Hotel.h68168810.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landing Hotel and Dining](https://www.expedia.ca/Pendleton-Hotels-The-Landing-Hotel-And-Dining.h18259201.Hotel-Information) > > [Budget Inn Madras By OYO](https://www.expedia.ca/Madras-Hotels-Budget-Inn-Madras-By-OYO.h103161146.Hotel-Information) > > [Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Astoria-Hotels-Selina-Commodore-Astoria.h9626297.Hotel-Information) > > [Anchor Inn Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oregon-Coast-Hotels-Anchor-Inn-Resort.h46985853.Hotel-Information) > > [Oregon Garden Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Salem-Hotels-Oregon-Garden-Resort.h2417005.Hotel-Information) > > [Custom Ashland Home with Fantastic Mountain Views](https://www.expedia.ca/Medford-Hotels-Brand-New-Custom-Ashland-Home-With-Fantastic-Mountain-Views.h36014407.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Eugene - Springfield by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Eugene-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Eugene-Springfield.h1855957.Hotel-Information) > > [Driftwood Cottage, your Southern Oregon Coast Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Brookings-Hotels-Driftwood-Cottage-Beach-House.h31649183.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreamers Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/John-Day-Hotels-Dreamers-Lodge.h38290791.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashland Hills Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Medford-Hotels-Ashland-Hills-Hotel-Suites.h28139.Hotel-Information) > > [SaltLine Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Oregon-Coast-Hotels-SALTLINE.h53135936.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Willows Inn and Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Ashland-Hotels-Country-Willows-Inn-And-Estate.h89657723.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sunridge Inn & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Baker-City-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Sunridge-Inn-Conference-Center.h17008.Hotel-Information) > > [King Suite Private Entry | Walk to Shops & Dining](https://www.expedia.ca/Hood-River-Hotels-Joyful-Suite-W-Private-Entry-Walk-To-Dwntwn-HR.h90920243.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lookout - Luxury two bedroom condo in the iconic Horsefeathers building!](https://www.expedia.ca/Hood-River-Hotels-The-Lookout-Luxury-Two-Bedroom-Condo-In-The-Iconic-Horsefeathers-Building.h95730956.Hotel-Information) > > [European Style Cottage in Oregon's Willamette Valley Wine Country - Cottage #5](https://www.expedia.ca/Newberg-Hotels-Escape-To-The-Heart-Of-Dundee-Your-Cottage-Retreat-In-Oregon-Wine-Country.h96963004.Hotel-Information) > > [Hull Street Loft - Cozy, Near Downtown, Height of Hood River](https://www.expedia.ca/Cozy.h97439374.Hotel-Information) > > [#48 The Cabins at Hyatt Lake - Sleeps 4 - Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Medford-Hotels-48-The-Cabins-At-Hyatt-Lake-Sleeps-4-Hot-Tub.h31611895.Hotel-Information) > > [Americas Best Value Sandman Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Pendleton-Hotels-Americas-Best-Value-Sandman-Inn.h910395.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield By Marriott Inn & Suites Portland Newberg](https://www.expedia.ca/Fairfield-By-Marriott-Inn-Suites-Portland-Newberg.h110649056.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Albany](https://www.expedia.ca/Corvallis-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Albany.h1426.Hotel-Information) > > [b.side motel + rv](https://www.expedia.ca/Bandon-Hotels-Bandon-Wayside-Motel-RV-Park.h13279661.Hotel-Information) > > [#49 The Cabins at Hyatt Lake - Sleeps 4 - Private](https://www.expedia.ca/Medford-Hotels-49-The-Cabins-At-Hyatt-Lake-Sleeps-4-Private.h31611546.Hotel-Information) > > [FivePine Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bend-Hotels-FivePine-Lodge-Spa.h1710792.Hotel-Information) > > [Lincoln House - American Foursquare Craftsman, Spacious and Light](https://www.expedia.ca/Hood-River-Hotels-American-Foursquare-Craftsman.h23563032.Hotel-Information) > > [Brasada Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/Bend-Hotels-Brasada-Ranch.h1513237.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Albany, OR](https://www.expedia.ca/Albany-Hotels-Motel-6-Albany.h1039733.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Woodburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Salem-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Woodburn.h124125.Hotel-Information)
