One of Best Oceanfront Places on Oregon Coast
Fabulous place. Sumptuous cloud-like bed. Many rooms have riverfront balconies on the water. Excellent food--try the curry salmon stew. Quiet except for honking of sea lions under the hotel. (An amusing plus, but the hotel provides ear plugs.) Centrally located, but stores are rundown. Outdoor waterfront patio. Saunas.

Wonderful escape from city
Great location right on the river. From our second floor room we felt like we were on a cruise ship. Easy walk yo almost everything in town. We enjoyed the Sunday Farmers Market. Room was spacious and well appointed. We were in the ice house and it felt very private. Other reviews mentioned lots of noise from sea lions, but apparently the go elsewhere in midsummer, so visit then if you're worried about the noise. We slept great enjoying the lap of river waves.

July 10, 2026MidWestActiveAdultDowntown On the Water. Location Can’t Be Beat!
Higher end, boutique hotel, done in a modern, industrial style. It’s small and cozy, feels intimate and somewhat luxurious in a casual way. They offer you a free glass of sparkling wine when you check in. This is good, as there will be a line on busy weekends. Rooms are spacious, ours were suites with a nice separate sitting area. Food & drinks are tasty, but pricy like the hotel, of course. Its unique position is location - being on the water and downtown; you can walk to countless restaurants, breweries, and shops. The patio overlooking the river is a very pleasant place to hang out. They have saunas on the water, but we never used. My only complaint is that they didn’t remodel the building with adequate insulation between rooms. Therefore, it’s likely you will hear your neighbors tv playing, dog barking or baby crying. They have addressed it with earplugs and a white noise machine in each room. When the sea lions are in town (not in summer), they are continually barking and it gets old. In fairness, you can hear them all over town. Staying in a small, upscale downtown hotel on the water is a great experience overall. We love Astoria and would stay here again.

Perfect romantic getaway
We stayed in the Buoy Suite for two nights in July 2025 for our anniversary. The suite was spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable and the tub was a true soaking tub. Even though it was July, it did get a bit chilly so we loved having the fireplace in the room. The real selling point of the room, however, were the views. We sat on the patio for hours just staring out into the water and watching the sunset. It was so peaceful and calm. Since we were there late July, there weren’t any sea lions so I can’t speak to the noise, but I’ve been in town during other times of year and know they can be quite loud but I don’t think I’d mind too much. We enjoyed our stay so much, we booked a room at this hotel again this year.
