Astoria Motels

We sere surprised when we pulled up to the hotel that it was located in an industrial area of the riverfront. The advertisement for the hotel shows views of a small craft marina but that wasn't our experience. The room we were given was at the end of a wing of the property that overlooked a mountain of cut logs waiting for shipment with logging trucks regularly going in and out with shipments of logs. Our stay started out good enough and quickly went down hill fast. The front desk was friendly and accommodating. We were taken aback by the very tired appearance of the building which appeared to be undergoing limited repairs. Our room was the same. The chairs in our room were dirty and frayed and the deck outside was in need of paint. Once we settled in we tried to turn on the television but it wouldn't work. After several calls to the front desk they sent someone up who worked for about 45 minutes on it. Finally we asked for a different room and they moved us next door. So we re-packed our belongings and moved. Again we tried the TV in the second room and it didn't work either. Same person came back and worked for another 45 minutes to 1 hour to try to get it working to no avail. At that point we said forget it that we would take it up with the front desk in the morning. About 30 minutes later we hear a scratching at our door and when we opened it we were shocked to find two individuals trying go get it. They said the front desk had assigned them the room. Possession is 9/10ths and we weren't moving again and they headed back to the office. The final straw as the next morning when we went down for the included breakfast only to find there was none. The person working the breakfast said the truck didn't get there in time with their supplies. It goes without saying we weren't happy campers when we spoke to the manager. They did give us a large credit for all our trouble but I wouldn't recommend staying there until repairs and upgrades are made. I would hope they would be a little more truthful with their advertising.

The exterior doesn’t excite, but the room we had was clean, spacious and comfortable! The gentleman who checked us in was welcoming and friendly and there was plenty of parking. There was a building that blocked part of our view but we could still see the river. The fact that it was really hot while we were there didn’t matter, the A/C worked wonderfully!! Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again!!
