Salt is very cool
Pros:

Open, funky vibe, great staff and great service. Amber waited on us and she was amazing, we gathered for a memorial of a dear friend and she let us be at home at Salt yo laugh and cry and connect. Thanks so much

Disappointed
Pros:

Close to dock.

Cons:

More a pub with rooms than a hotel. Everything is handled by text and zero interaction with humans. No WiFi the first niht and no TV the third night, but no one to contact. It's on the water, but the windows face the courtyard, so no harbor view. It's worth $120 a night, not $220.

Pros:

Everything was above average

Cons:

The only complaint would be the pub service. It would be nice if they offered the full menu to go for the people staying at the hotel. Especially if they are very busy. [If you have a toddler(s) sometimes waiting is a no go]

We'll be back, love independent lodgings.
Pros:

Clean, quiet, modern and wonderful mattress. Easy check- in (although want sure if I was supposed to see a person, like at the bar?) And great amenities.

Cute Boutique Hotel
Pros:

The Hotel was very stylish. Access was easy. We stayed on a day that the pub was closed. But would have loved to have tried that too. The room was clean, amenities were just enough. The view of the port from the front of the building was fantastic. The bed was really hard, but comfortable enough for one night. The location was great with nearby restaurants and scenic views.

Disappointing and overpriced
Pros:

It was clean

Cons:

The pub and all other restaurants in the town were closed, meaning that after a long journey we had to get back in the car and head to Long Beach.
Room was basic and pretty small.

Overall I’m happy with the stay food was great service was good. Just make the beds more comfortable
Pros:

Was going salmon fishing and our boat was in the marina so the convenience of it being there was nice. The restaurant and staff were awesome! I submitted a reservation for the pub and didn’t hear back and when I went to check it was 15 minutes till close but they had a system issue with the POS so they let me sit and eat without rushing me.

Cons:

The beds feel like you are laying on a bed of rocks with a sheet of plywood over it.

Great getaway for work and pleasure. Discovered a part of Ilwaco we did not know was there.
Pros:

The location was great. Quiet place. Having a pub at the location was perfect. You had the feeling at the pub that you were family. The room was clean and comfortable. Cute shops along the harbor.

No a/c is a problem
Pros:

Close to the water

Cons:

No A/C and no shampoo. It was a bar of soap”soap” that made my hair look very greasy
