I wish I were a golfer
Pros:

This site is just a couple miles from Seaside and a few from Astoria.
Lots of the charm and decor of the other Mcminns..but definately a more modern construction than some of thier hotels.

Cons:

This is definately a golfers destination. It has no beach view. No sauna spa or pool. Not a place kids will love. The day staff in the lobby very blunt and unwelcoming. The swing shift girl was a delight and provided amazing service and advice, in person and on the phone. She is a gem!
If you golf, and the weather permits...this is for you!
There is a fair chance when you book that you may be roomed in the "annex" and not the main hotel, with no warning.
There was a bit of black in the shower corner in room 302.

Separate building for sleeping rooms (annex) would not like if rainy weather and wanting to go to and from main building where restaurant/bars are. Glad weather was nice.

Not bad but some disappointments
Pros:

Typical charming McMenamins kitsch. Also pleasant staff

Cons:

Hotel was under construction when we arrived. I think the management should have been clear about this with potential guests rather than let it be a surprise. To their credit, work only occurred mid-day when people awake and often out so the disturbance was minimal.

There are too buildings in this hotel. We were in an auxilliary building that felt like a let down compared to the main building which had all the main amenities and more of the ambiance.

Finally, there were very limited options on the menu for vegans/vegetarians and the food was expensive. We chose to eat elsewhere. There are much better choices in nearby Astoria.

The perfect beach getaway and a sunny weekend too!
Pros:

It was a very cozy and comfortable room! Enjoyed coffee in the morning and a delicious eggs, Benedict breakfast in their restaurant. The restaurant staff was very kind! Love the cozy downstairs bar with a fireplace as well as the outdoor fire pits! Can’t wait to come back!

Cons:

It wasn’t a big deal, but it would’ve been nice for a small refrigerator as I had leftover food.

The perfect location, great value and the friendliest staff.
Pros:

Location. Close to beach. Restaurant

Cons:

The forced air heating for the room was very noisy during the night. No lobby to speak of if you wanted to leave the room but stay in out of the cold.

Our stay was very enjoyable.
Pros:

Location was great! Loved the view of the patio and golf course. Breakfast was so.so, need more choices. We ate other places.

Cons:

We didn't like that the room did not have a refrigerator. We had to keep asking for ice. When you bring drinks with you or go out to dinner, one likes to have a refer in the room to keep things cold.
