Good price for a quaint older hotel
I was not sure what to expect when I booked this hotel, but it exceeded our expectations. It is considered one of the more reasonable hotels in Cannon Beach, and not the usual $500 per night for a beachfront hotel. For anyone trying to be on a bit of a budget, I would highly recommend this place - location is great, a nice hang out area in the courtyard, and easy access to the beach

Don’t use their toilet seats.
If you need to go to the toilet, bring your own toilet seat. We rented two rooms for one day and both restrooms had hese awful toilet seats.

Reasonable Winter Rates
We take an annual trip to Cannon Beach most years, and have stayed at the the Lodge several times. We have enjoyed our visits. The Lodge is an old motel - it offers very basic but comfortable rooms. The larger ones are suites with fireplaces and full kitchens. The bathrooms are very small. The location is excellent at the north end of town, and the staff is nice. In the off season the rates are extremely reasonable. While we have enjoyed having a kitchen, the ones in the units we have stayed in have not been very well equipped, so we generally bring some of our own stuff.

Wouldn’t do it again
This was a decently priced, available Cannon Beach option, but I would spend more elsewhere if I was back in the area. Location is great to be outside of the main strip, but close enough to easily walk in. The building looks cute and charming upon first glance at the front, but it needs serious attention. Issues with the room itself: black mold on the windows, all things metal in bathroom are rusted, porches need work, bathroom fan is incredibly loud and not wired separately from light, bathroom fan was also coated with a thick layer of dust, rotting exterior door trim, large mattress stain (urine maybe???). My wife always checks for bugs and there was NO evidence of them whatsoever, but I really wish I hadn’t seen the gross mattress stain. I would assume they charged the person who severely soiled it, but then opted not to use that money to replace it? To continue: poorly installed (loose) and dirty looking carpet, the room is incredibly tiny to begin with, so no real places to open and access suitcases, but then there are also these dirty, old chairs taking up space that neither of us wanted to even touch, limited surfaces to put anything down when you come in the door, zero storage space in the bathroom for toothbrushes and necessities, and the lock to the sliding door was non-functional (security bar in place instead, but why not just fix it?). Room 20 for reference. We stayed in 8 different places on our 2-week PNW trip and this was by far the worst. This was between airbnbs, hotels, lodges, inns, and motels. This was not the least expensive of them either. We actually dreaded having to return here at night because of how dirty, neglected, tiny, and claustrophobic it felt. The positive: staff was friendly, and the location was convenient. I’d recommend avoiding this place until they can put in the effort to clean it up and get on top of some much-needed, basic maintenance.
