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.
