September 23, 2025trav3lt1meGlorified motel outside of its prime.
No longer in its prime, this is a glorified motel with a prime location. Whale viewing from deck but musty smells inside.

Fantastic unique hotel. The location is great, literally looking out onto the ocean. Right at the channel to the harbor, so fun watching the boats come in because the channel is quite narrow. Seals were sitting on the rocks in the channel the whole weekend. When we arrived, we went to dinner at the brewery across the bridge. The next table pointed out to us some orcas, they were right in front of our hotel. Even from across the bridge we could see them clearly. Unfortunately we never saw any other orcas or whales the whole weekend. We stayed in the Bridge room. I think this room probably has the most private jacuzzi tub area. There rest of the balcony is small but that was ok. There room has a separate living room area from the bedroom. The location is great, could walk to everything in Depoe Bay from here. What we liked best is how it was a unique hotel, not just a big box with all identical rooms. Of course it’s not super fancy, but it was clean and we were there for the views.

If you want to soak in the tub, I don't recommed the Fore Deck room
I just want to review the one room. Carefully choose your room. I do not recommend the "Fore Deck". I wanted to come to the Channel House 5 years ago for our 25th wedding anniversary but had to cancel. So on our 30th, I tried again. I wanted it to be so much better. My main complaint is that the location of this room means that the soaking tub on the deck is completely visible to the folks coming to the OPRD Whale Watching Center across the narrow channel from the hotel. The visitors go to the outdoor viewing platform and look out at the ocean, then look at the channel, and then look up at you in your tub. But the hubby said, "It'll be better at night". Well, there is a light shining to light up the channel for safety I presume. It is LED and as bright as the sun, lighting up your deck, tub, and the inside of your skull. At first, I sat with my hand shading my eyes, but then we positioned the deck chairs so that if we sunk down a bit they would shade us. The room is small, but I thought it very comfortable, if there had been some sort of privacy wall/sunshade between my deck and the channel I would have enjoyed it sooooo much more. We did enjoy Depot Bay, breakfast at the Sea Hag, and dinner at the Tidal Raves. I recommend to the manager or owner to stay a night in each of these rooms and use them the way you think your guests will so that you can see where adjustments may be beneficial, and see what things need fixing-sliding glass doors, knobs on the cabinet...

Amazing stay!
First off, Dan at the front desk called me 3 hours prior to check-in time to let us know that the room was ready and we were welcome to come anytime!! What a bonus!! Next, We are so glad we had the chance to stay here! We loved everything about it! We stayed 2 nights in the Bridge Room #4, overlooking the wide open ocean, and the inlet to Depoe Bay Harbor. The view was unbeatable, the sound of the waves just amazing. We unfortunately did not see any whales, but the view was spectacular just the same. The room was very clean, very comfortable, well decorated, and two sliding glass doors that lead to the delightful jacuzzi tub on the balcony. We had an incredible sea breeze all night long with the doors open. There's also a very large picture window where we could sit on the couch and enjoy the view from inside the room. The sunset over the ocean, while sipping wine in the tub will be something I remember for a long time! We will definately be back! (I would try a different room next time, only because the tub took up most of the space on the balcony, so we couldn't really sit on the balcony, unless we were in the jacuzzi tub - which we were most of the time so it didn't really matter) While at the Channel House - don't miss Mazatlan, the Mexican restaurant just 50 steps from the House, and the Horn Public House Brewery (get the Halibut and the chowder!) just a 5 minute walk across the bridge. We loved both places! Thank you Dan and staff for a wonderful, memorable stay!
