Great check - in experience. Robert at the Sea Glass bistro and lounge was very personable and knew his stuff when mixing cocktails and recommending food options. Views were spectacular from the 5th floor. All the staff were super friendly.
Large and beautiful room with great view to the sea, all well maintained. The hotel itself left also a good impression. We enjoyed also the breakfast, which is offered as a separate service. There is not much in a walking distance (except the beach).
Recently refreshed rooms however this location stays busy so those rooms with a water view are already showing wear, however the rooms are clean. Was hearing the restaurant didn't have a lot of choices available for food or liquor due to sell outs. Ate outside the hotel. Appreciate on-site site parking. Only issue is when your bus stopped under port at front door and blocked the exit the other entry was blocked with people checking in. Another space for bus loads would be helpful other than front door.
Wonderful hotel with gorgeous ocean views, beautiful clean rooms and great restaurant. There were fire pits available outside to gather with friends while enjoying the stunning ocean view. All employees were very friendly and helpful. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and the food was fantastic.
Nice, clean rooms. Great service from staff. Convenient location, right off highway 101. Close to Yaquina Head lighthouse where you can explore incredible marine life in itide pools, quarry cove, etc. Also close to Agate Beach golf course, Oregon Coast Aquarium, Historic Nye Beach, Hatfield Marine Science Center, restaurants, shops, state parks, galleries, etc.
I haven't stayed in a Best Western in over 30 years. What a pleasant surprise to find this one in Newport, OR. The room was clean and while the hair dryer had seen better days, a quick message to the front desk and a new one was delivered to my room. We got to watch the sunset from the fire pit behind the hotel on our first night and we had breakfast in the restaurant on our first morning. It was very good. My brother had issues with his room when he checked in. He mentioned this to the front desk and while he was out for dinner, the hotel corrected all of the issues. It was a very nice surprise when he returned. Beautiful views... fantastic staff... plentiful parking... great hotel!
One night in Newport, OR as I drove up the coast. My room was clean, and bed was ok. (had 2 queens, but only used one.) Small refrigerator and coffee maker. Needs new carpet but it was end of season. I had an ocean front room which was nice. I mainly chose the place for convenience and location as I was traveling up the OR coastline.
Wonderful location, friendly staff, comfortable beds, clean rooms and amazing views for the ocean front side. We'd never seen a beach like this one; it looks like moon craters. Absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend this hotel; we would return.
Clean, large room with a wonderful ocean view. The fresh, sea air rushing in through the large sliding door was great. We enjoyed the fire pit, the restaurant, and the conference room area. The pool and hot tub area is also very nice with live plants and dim lighting. We really enjoyed the hostess, Robert at the bar, and Nancy, our server.
Top rated hotel across from Agate state beach. Had both breakfast and dinner and the food was excellent but sparse on the side included for the price. Otherwise would definitely recommend!! Checkout at 12:00 which gives you more time to enjoy the beach and restaurant.
Felt like a high class facility. The bed and amenities were great. The view is amazing. It is farther to the Beach than I thought and not the easiest for a senior citizen but even if you aren't up for the hill down to the beach and the walk in the sand you can appreciate the view from many locations here! The breakfast is not included but was very good and service was excellent. It is better than going anywhere outside of the hotel, plus you can enjoy that view !!
I would stay here again just for the watee pressure in the shower. Super nice staff. Easy and convenient. My only suggestion is to put a mirror behind the desk or offer a stand up mirror. And the jaccuzi could use a paint job. Thanks for a great time
Great place for what we needed. The beach access is just across the street. Each room either had a Mountain View or ocean view. Although the Mountain View wasn't as impressive, each floor had a sitting area by the elevator overlooking the ocean. Staff was great!
This is a great hotel with a lot going for it...location (overlooking a huge sandy beach and fantastic ocean views), a really good onsite restaurant (Seaglass Bistro...see separate review) and an unusual, but functional physical layout (restaurant on level 1, lobby on level 2 and open parking lot on level 6). I've stayed here twice in recent months, in June and in August. In June, the frigid wind whipping across the beach and blowing stinging sand meant the hardy souls who ventured out had miles of open beach to themselves. In August, the weather was warm, the winds mild and there were lots of families and energetic dogs on the beach. On both visits, there were intermittent rain squalls. A previous reviewer was peeved about the windows not being kept clean. I saw the restaurant's windows being washed down each morning, but no one should expect the hotel to do the same every time the sand blows. I don't even know how they keep all the sand from invading the hotel. I know my boots were clogged with wet sand and I'm sure I left plenty in my room even though I tried not to do so. If you live on a beach, you'll get sand in your shoes (and between your toes). The six floors from parking lot to restaurant, with lobby and rooms in between meant a lot of people using the two guest elevators a lot...when they worked. No problem in June but they were off and on during my August visit. When they were out, guests had to share the much smaller service elevator with all the support staff, including housekeeping, engineers, deliveries, etc. I heard a lot of people confused about where to go, but never heard any serious complaints. And all the reception staff patiently and pleasantly answered everyone's repeated questions about what's wrong and when will it be fixed. As nice as the hotel is, it's aging and, perhaps, the elevators are just one of those things that wears out. Those of us who have owned homes know the feeling. There are other signs of wear and tear, but overall it remains a very nice hotel. I noticed on my first visit (king room) that the lighting in the bathroom was really dim. It would have been a bigger problem if my wife had been with me. I didn't have to deal with makeup. The lighting in my August bathroom (double queen room) was quite a bit better. The room air conditioning system was easy to program and worked well, with the A/C in the outer wall blowing quite quietly. However, in my August room, the only easy chair in the room was positioned between the desk and the A/C and was not usable. I thought about moving it, but the only place I might have done so would have been away from any reading lights. During the day I used the ample light coming in the windows, put the rolling desk chair in front of the window and used the easy chair to put my feet upon. It worked out OK. In spite of the many challenges I guess any day at the beach is a good day, for both hosts and guests. Of course, it's harder for the hosts. The guests leave, but the hotel's challenges remain.
One of the best hotels I've stayed in while visiting family on the Oregon Coast. Fast friendly service, great food at Seaglass, and fur babies are welcome there. The rooms are clean and comfy. And the pool and hot tub were awesome! Thank you for a great experience
This is the nicest Best Western we have ever been to, and we have been to many. The view can't be beat. It had a luxurious atmosphere. We loved sitting outside and enjoying the view. We had dinner on the patio and the food was excellent. We highly recommend staying here.
Great room with an ocean view, comfortable beds, Keurig coffee maker, fridge is great, but could use a freezer for ice bottles. The swimming pool was a good size , but the 9-10:30pm for adults only was not monitored. We enjoyed the hot tub, which was also big enough for several people.
The rooms are clean and well maintained. The view is fantastic.. The outside area is also well maintained and pretty. The fire at the table at dinner outside adds a special touch. Nice to be there when the sun is setting. The breakfast is great if you're not too hungry.
Fabulous room fabulous staff fabulous view. Sat outside by the fire pit and enjoyed a beverage. The view was fabulous. Watch the sunset inside to have dinner. We had the Opportunity to spend the night here on the coast for one night at this hotel The staff in the restaurant were fabulous. The following individuals went above and beyond the call of duty Tabatha: handled huge groups waiting in line for tables with a smile on her face McKenzie :she was attentive, friendly, a fast server attention to details she is a keeper! Nancy super efficient I watched her inside the restaurant outside on the deck waiting tables she was super with a lot of clientele in the restaurant efficient fast handled a big tour group that came in Renee wine tasting and server friendly efficient Such a pleasure to have such nice staff waiting on us especially after Covid staff shortages I'll come back!! Coffee machine in the lobby wonderful plus Comfy beds fluffy towels Fast elevators
We stayed for one night at the Hotel for a special occasion. The Room ,hotel area and back porch area was very clean and modern. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions and needs we may have. Our stay at this hotel spoiled us with an amazing experience and we sure would come back any time.
We stayed here for our one night in Newport. We instantly were wishing we were staying longer. The hotel is in a beautiful location overlooking the beach and ocean. The hotel has amazing amenities. The rooms are clean and modern. The staff are friendly and helpful with any questions you may have.
This is a wonderfully managed, clean hotel with breathtakingly beautiful ocean views. Every employee seemed happy, which I've never encountered before. The beds, pillows and linen were clean and comfy. The convenient restaurant served up delicious food every day, and the chefs were friendly. The cost was reasonable, and a bargain based on the value provided. I was worried that the adjacent Walmart might ruin the resort's ambience, but it was well hidden behind greenery. That was an added benefit, as one could enjoy Walmart's conveniences if necessary, without the resort's aesthetics being harmed.
We booked only a month in advance and beggars can't be choosers, especially when travelling with a wheelchair user, a dog and a 3rd person, our son. For the price we paid, we should have received 50% more room. We had a modest view at the very end near the pool and a very small room that wasn't ADA compliant in today's world. It was a room with 2 Queen Beds, one of them being only 10" from the adjacent wall. Our cooler that barely fits on the floor of our back seat could barely fit between the bed and the wall. Aside from the bathroom itself, there was no 5' turning radius for an electric wheelchair user.
I did research there were good reviews … Hotel was older than appeared in pictures when we arrived there was an air blower in front door of hotel entrance. It felt stuffy ladies at front were friendly but not sure if intoxicated or not. This is Dog hotel lots of dogs barking and the room smelled like dog and old. It was pretty view the 6th floor has a bridge to the parking lot.
We Loved Every Part of This Gorgeous Ocean Front Best Western Plus in Newport, Oregon at Agate Beach! Ocean View Rooms Watching & Listening to The Soothing Ocean Waves & Seeing the Sunset & Walking off the Hotel Grass Area & The Restaurant to The Walking Path to Walk this Amazing Beach We Will always plan on Our Annual Oregon Coast Road Trip to Stay and Book to Stay Longer @ This Resort Style Best Western Plus.
We have stayed here before and it has always been excellent, our dog love it also! Staff was great, room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. Good time on the beach!
Absolutely wonderful hotel! We can't wait to come back and stay again! Wish we had a longer visit! The front desk staff and manager were the kindest, most helpful, sweetest women! Great beach views, clean rooms and nice property! Restaurant recommendations on the water were amazing! 11/10 recommend! We will be back!
Everything was great. Everyone was extremely accommodating. The hotel staff gave us a coupon for 1 entree at the restaurant since we left to early everyday for breakfast. And the restaurant still served us dinner when we showed up at 8:45 from working late. This is truly a great place to stay.
The stay was superior, and the hotel was perfect. The walk on the beach was impressive with the view of the lighthouse was very singular.
Stayed here with on a Road Scholar group tour for two nights. Hotel and rooms are very spacious and clean. Meals provided for our group were very good. We appreciated the hot oatmeal, fresh cut fruit, and delicious yogurt provided at breakfast. Marcia (Hopefully correct name) at breakfast was very attentive to group needs. Of all the places we stayed on our trip, this one did the best job of providing food for individual dietary needs. The ocean is literally right out the door. Great for a walk on the beach in the evening. Very nice stay!
Great stay. All aspects were on the mark. Service, Restaurant and Bar, Comfort of room were excellent.
The windows were dirty, and there was not enough indoor seating in the restaurant; however; the view was amazing. The staff was very friendly. A boardwalk was also needed for a walk to the beach. The outdoor patio was lovely but the wind was blowing so strong so we could not enjoy it.
Wonderful location, staff was friendly, rooms were well appointed and clean. Beautiful ocean view and easy access to the beach.
Fabulous place, fabulous people, fabulous food, I hope to return soon! The ocean view was beautiful, the entire place was so clean, every staff member so kind and helpful! The food was excellent!
Just happened to drop in to Agate Beach on a trip along the coast and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Walk to beach, Wonderful views, friendly staff and the restaurant was amazing. Would definitely stay here again.
Great pet-friendly hotel right on Agate Beach with wonderful views of Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Our room was first rate, with excellent facilities, especially the guest laundry. The only negative we encountered was a tight parking situation, due to a tax-consultant conference being held at the hotel. Management did address the issue with us, which was much appreciated.
Stayed here our last night of a 9 day road trip through Oregon and splurged on a room with a view and weren't disappointed. Agate beach is walking distance from the hotel but it was way to windy to do anything but walk there and quickly walk back! The hotel has been updated to modern expectations but the one of the chairs in our room needed repair. Bonus of the lighted mirror in the bathroom meant I could put on makeup at the desk while my hubby got ready for dinner which also helped us the next morning getting ready to leave. No wine glasses in the room (not a thing anymore I guess?) but we ate at Sea Glass Bistro and our server was kind enough to give us two to use that night.
Really solid stay in Newport. It's tucked away from the main drag so it's quiet and comfortable. The bistro is cozy with ample outdoor (heated) seating, the only knock being I wish it was open later. Very glad to stay here when in town for business.
Great beach and ocean access. Good food at the only restaurant in-house. Close to town. Friendly staff
Only got 3 hours of the 9 hours that I normally sleep. Had to breath gas vapors from a air conditioning unit that forced the complete evacuation of the hotel at 3am
The service was excellent, room was clean, well lit and spacious. The meeting room was good. I would stay at the hotel again.
Short walk to the beach. Great view great indoor pool. Food at the restaurant was great. Will stay here again. Family friendly.
This hotel is always a great experience. The restaurant in the past had occasionally been inconsistent, but not the last couple times. Staff is amazing. Rooms are clean. View is great whether or not you pay the upgrade. There are views from common areas, lobby, and lounge. Easy access to the beach.
This place is a gem on the Oregon coast. The view from our oceanside room was like something from a beautiful painting. There were loads of kids playing outside and a fire pit for the parents to view the perfect sunset. The beach was right outside the front door. Cool games to play in the common area in the lobby. We can't wait to come back.
Had a wonderful stay and experience- room with ocean view was amazing. Staff was super friendly, but the biggest surprise was the food. We had room service, restaurant and buffet since we were attending a conference. All was excellent! Must try the halibut fish and chips! Conference buffets are typically bland and cafeteria food quality but not this hotel. Quality, tasteful and great service. The hotel lobby is beautiful with a fireplace and fun games. Access to the beach was easy and I enjoyed a peaceful walk along the beach, even with the snow. I've stayed at many places around the world and I highly recommend if you are visiting Newport or attending a conference.
A wonderful property a few steps from the beach with magnificent views. The staff is extremely friendly (look for Nikki and Kym). The rooms are well kept. If you find yourself going to the Newport, OR area, you must consider this a very fine place to stop, and - better still - spend a few days. There is a restaurant and bar - food is very good and service is excellent (look for McKenzie and Karma). Top marks across the board.
Kym is friendly, efficient, and a jack of all trades. What an asset! After making a reservation for us for next year, she went right over to the coffee machine and replaced product and got it going again in no time! Then right back to the front desk. The room and property was clean and well maintained. I would only suggest that the restaurant "temperature wise" be warmer, with all that glass I realize it can be difficult.
We had a very unpleasant experience there. We were on the second floor right next to the door to the pool which is open from 8 am until 10:30 pm. There is a closure on the pool door but IS NOT working (seems like it should be easy to adjust). We checked in at 4 pm and righjt away what we heard was the pool door slamming so loud it made us jump every time. Did not stop until 10:40 pm and started up again the next morning at 8:00. We complained the first day and were told that they were aware as they had had many complaints. We complained when checking out and were told that they had never heard that complaint before. They did take some money off our bill but nothing can make up for how unpleasant our stay there was; would never stay there again.
Our group chose Agate Beach Inn for the second straight year for our annual awards banquet. The planning provided by team at Agate Beach Inn, the execution, and the pricing were outstanding! Everyone in our group had an excellent stay.
Birthday vacation they have a really nice indoor pool and hot tub the lounge is really nice as well as amazing location with beach accessibility with a view of a lithouse. Even tho I did not bring my pets I do enjoy it being pet friendly!
It is generally my favorite on the Oregon Coast for price and views, cleanliness and food. Breakfast is always great quality, but is now just general fair. In the past it was far more creative. The rooms are great, not sure why anyone would get the hillside view, and the rooms would be great having a walk in shower. Will definitely be back.
This in my opinion is the best by far Best Western I have known or ever stayed at. My stay there felt more like I was at a resort rather than a hotel but without the super high priced bill. The staff were very helpful, friendly and fast. My family and I will definitely be staying there again when in town for our next vacation.
Comfortable beds. Soft sheets. Room was clean, quiet and spacious. Walk out on first floor to the beach. Would definitely stay here again. Staff was friendly at the check in and parking was easy. It was overall a very lovely stay (sadly one night was all we had time for)
One night in Newport, OR as I drove up the coast. My room was clean, and bed was ok. (had 2 queens, but only used one.) Small refrigerator and coffee maker. Needs new carpet but it was end of season. I had an ocean front room which was nice.
I haven't slept this good in a very long time. Beds and pillows were amazing. My husband and I slept until 9 or later every day. We were in room 404. Great ocean view. Room was clean. Not sure what the deal was with the coffee making. We asked for a new one and they brought one up and that one only gave us one cup. Then it started working fine. Operator error? Maybe. They have coffee and mochas in the lobby. The mochas are delish.
Agate Beach Inn was a great spot to sleep for the few days we had on the coast. Easy 2.5hr drive from PDX. Location was great, quick drive to the harbor(must see), restaurants, and lighthouses. It is pet friendly, so the room had a little pet funk to it. Nothing that turned us away, but worth noting. Everything was clean, we had a handicap king ocean view room. The amenities were wonderful, coffee machine lattes made my mornings, indoor pool/ hot tub was nice to relax in after walking all day. We never walked down to the beach access, but the views were great. Everything you'd expect from a Best Western Inn. Thanks for a great stay!
On a recent trip to a business meeting which was held at Best Western Agate Beach, I had the good fortunate to stay at the same hotel. I was so impressed with not only the physical location which was right on Agate Beach, but also the amenities as well as the service. I've stayed at far more expensive hotels and had much worse service. Every staff member here was polite, helpful and friendly.
The Best Western Plus hotel in Newport is a wonderful place to stay! The view, the cleanliness, pool and spa, proximity to the beach, and the grounds are outstanding. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets soft and crisp. In addition, it was nice and quiet so we could hear the ocean throughout the night. We enjoyed our breakfast outside on the deck enjoying the soft roar of the ocean. The staff provided great service. I do not recommend dinner, however. We waited for over an hour for our meal and it was not very busy. They forgot to bring me my beverage. I waited 30 minutes and then finally reminded the waiter. The food itself was a 5 out of 10. Now, maybe it was just a bad night. I'd give it a second chance.
Wow! This is one of the nicest Best Western's we have been to. It is a 6 story building north of "downtown" Newport, OR on the ocean side of the 101. We stopped just for one night on our way from Eureka to Aberdeen and, because we like to frequent Best Western, we chose this place. The hotel has ocean view rooms or not ocean view rooms (we had the latter) but each floor lobby has a little sitting area by the elevators where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular view of the beach. We were delighted to find a very nice bar and restaurant at the beach level with friendly service and really delicious clam chowder. If we had had sweatshirts or jackets, we might have sat out on the outdoor terrace (enclosed inside a glass wall to ward off the wind). There is a little kiosk in the lobby that sells snacks (and wine) to take to your room. The room accommodations are spacious, newly redone, clean, clean clean and comfortable. There is a Keurig coffee maker in the room with "the usual" coffee set up (including liquid coffeemate rations). My only complaint is that our room didn't have an ice bucket. I'm guessing this is a temporary oversight since it did have a microwave, refrigerator and "the usual" conveniences we expect from Best Western. No problem, though, as we just filled up the little plastic bathroom cups with ice cubes from the machine down the hall.
When we checked in we were placed in a clean, comfy King room. I had requested an upper floor quiet room facing the woods/hillside. Unfortunately, after we got settled in the room we heard a yappy dog barking somewhere above us. The barking continued, so we notified the manager and she moved us one floor down. We could still hear the barking in the new room, so the manager gave us a free upgrade to an ocean view room on the other side of the hotel, where we could not hear any barking. Her willingness to help us get the quiet room we wanted made our stay very pleasant and enjoyable. Thank you so much!
This hotel was amazing!!! Quiet, great views of the ocean...great area to relax each day overlooking the beach with fire pits! Friendly staff! The driveway is a bit hard but once you know it is coming up easy enough! love the parking and bridge to the hotel!
We stayed at this property for 2 nights while visiting the Oregon Coast. It sits directly across from Agate Beach and offers great views of the water and sunset. We arrived after dinner and our room was ready. The front desk staff were very nice. Our room was clean and comfortable and offered a great view of the ocean. Daily housekeeping is provided. The hotel has a restaurant (we just had dessert, which was good) and a fitness center. The fitness center was very small for a property of this size and the equipment was worn. There's an outdoor area that offers great views of the beach/ocean. We'd stay again.
During the reservation process, I indicated that my sister had some potential mobility issues. The hotel accommodated our needs easily. The room was great, the staff extremely helpful. The only downside for our stay was that my sister could not eat most of the items on the menu due to an intolerance to nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, green peppers, etc.).
The pool is much smaller than what the pictures lead on. Checking in front desk was very nice, but we had a problem with a cabinet door that partially fell off the hinges and was hanging in the walkway, contact the front desk three different times over a seven hour period and had to finally go down to the front desk to borrow a screwdriver As it was a safety hazard with little kids. Hot tub was closed, fire pits were not running and those were two things that we really wanted for the quick family getaway.
This was our second summer stay and we all enjoyed it again. We were traveling with our grandsons, 9 & 10 and they loved it as much as we did. It is a great location, looking onto the ocean and a short walk to the beach and still fairly close to town. They have a great indoor pool and hot tub, very clean and warm, surrounded by glass so you can enjoy the outdoor beauty. The restaurant on site has delicious food and an excellent wait staff. We highly recommend this hotel.
Great location. A little spendy but you're a short walk to the beach. The pool and hot tub are what you'd expect for a Best Western but still nice to soak after being on the beach. Super dog friendly and the restaurant on site is decent.
This hotel is clean! Very convenient and the restaurant was awesome. Our view of the ocean couldn't be beat. Beautiful Oregon coast with lighthouse in the distance. Fell asleep to the waves. I would definitely stay hear again.
We were very pleased with the auto upgrade to a beach view room. The view from the room was wonderful. However, the walls were paper thin. A couple next door was having a normal conversation and it sounded as if they were sitting in our room. I believe this is the first BW Plus hotel that I have stayed in that did not offer a complementary breakfast. I think we would look for alternate hotels if we should visit the area again
Gem on the beautiful Oregon coast. Outstanding views from beach-front rooms (worth it), excellent, newly-remodeled rooms and common areas and outstanding restaurant/bar area with fire pit outdoor seating. Friendly, customer-focused staff. Direct access to broad beach area. Best lodging experience on the Oregon coast.
I love to take time and head to the beach for a few days of R &R and I decided to stay at Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn. I am a loyal Best Western customer and being a Platinum member of their Rewards program, I wanted to see if this Hotel lived up to the reputation I had heard. I can remember back when this Hotel was built and was a Hilton and hoped it was keeping up with the times. I found the room clean and up to date. I was impressed with the restaurant, the food was quite good. The service was friendly and welcoming. The front desk was great in greeting and accepting when I told them a problem with the slow drain in the tub. They got right on it and called maintenance to take care of the problem. The view from the room was fantastic. I hope they can keep up the appearance by daily cleaning of the grounds and interior of the hotel. I didn't think it was overpriced for the time of the year and the influx of tourist to the area. Overall it was great. I will go back again in the future.
Favorite place to stay in Newport. Room/pool set up well for a handicapped person. Restaurant is always good and you can watch the ocean while you dine. Always clean. Always friendly staff. Well managed.
While this property is in a great location, the facilities are aging and are not being well maintained or cared for. Carpets are old and dirty and repairs in rooms were done by amateurs. The prices being charged for rooms are not reasonable given the condition of the facilities.
We spent one night at this lovely hotel and really enjoyed it. It was recommended to us by my daughter. The hotel itself is quite nice and has nice facilities. Our room was large, clean and well appointed with a view of the ocean. The bed was amazing and there were lots of pillows to choose from. The hotel is across from the ocean. We sat outside around the firepit and watched the sunset. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and the server went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted it. We had lots of choices in Newport as to where to stay for one night, and this was a GREAT CHOICE.
I got a solid night sleep and the facilities were in good shape. The parking setup is unique but very agreeable. The on premise restaurant is handy and made good breakfast. That breakfast is sold separately. It was nice to chill and watch the sunset over the ocean.
Business and also a few days of vacation. We had a really nice time at this hotel. We were only able to spend one night here, but it was worth it! Great customer service and a beautiful beach. We loved that the hotel had a hose to clean off on the way back from the beach (very helpful with dogs!). The restaurant was really good and relaxing after a day of travel. We would definitely stay here again!
We stayed at the Best western Agate Beach in Newport, the Room was clean and comfortable, we have an amazing ocean view. We enjoyed the indoor heated pool and the Games in the lobby area. The restaurant / Bar at the first floor have a great ambiance with a killer ocean view.
All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room view was better that the pictures. The room was really clean too. The hotel was easy to find and really close to the highway, and only a little walk down to the beach. Fast friendly service in the restaurant, good food to and clean. Definitely going to stay here again
Clean and good place with good coffee in the lobby. Nice views and friendly staff. For a dog friendly hotel I was pleased with the cleanliness of it. We will bring our fur pals next time. They missed us!
Perfect spot to stop for a couple of nights. Restaurant? Outstanding! Service? Outstanding! Views are unbelievable and it's right on the beach. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It's a super clean and well managed location and shows it.
Down the road are so many more economic choices! With the same view!! We travel with a pet and expect the room to have some evidence of prior pet visitors; however, the rug and bedding was covered in thick white fur!
The hotel was fabulous. Beautiful view of the beach and easy access. Hotel staff was courteous and helpful. The restaurant had late hours, so was unable to eat late lunch or dinner there. Breakfast was nothing special despite the high prices. If you stay there (and I recommend it), plan to eat in town.
I was in town for a wedding. This hotel was very clean, comfortable, quiet and a great view. The bed was very comfortable and although their were a lot of people at the facility my room was very quiet and relaxing after a busy day of wedding and people. I would highly recommend. The staff was awesome too!
What a great place to stay. Wonderful view of the ocean, the sunsets, the lighthouse in the distance. Nikki, front desk clerk was simply amazing, kind and caring. Housekeeping staff was very accommodating and friendly. The extras like the coffee/hot chocolate machine, the games, and most important the fire pit was so appreciated. We ate at restaurant (The Sea Glass) our first night and it was really good. Would recommend to anyone and we will be back next summer:)
Here's my story... I made reservations at Newport Inn and when we got there the room was on the top floor and my wheelchair mother couldn't get up so we had call around and best Western were so kind!!
Honestly this was the most expensive room I have ever booked. We were on a road trip with my 97 year old father, so I wanted something nice. The property was easy to find. Fortunately we had a handicapped placard or we would have had to park "around the corner" in an area you couldn't even see from the lobby. This is a very family oriented place from the chess games set up in the lobby to lots of parents and children in and out. There are six floors. We were on the Third. I made reservations 4 months earlier and got the ocean view I requested all the way down at the end of the floor, pretty much obscured by trees. The room was clean. The toilet however when flushed sounded like it was turning on and off constantly as it filled. I took a video of it and went to the front desk and they took money off the bill as they wouldn't be able to fix it that night. There is a restaurant down stairs that does take reservations (front desk didn't know if they could or not). It is the only food available nearby, otherwise you need to get in your car and go somewhere. There is no free breakfast "because of the restaurant on the premises". For the money, I expected more and was somewhat disappointed.
This was the most expensive hotel we stayed at during our trip, but sadly, the most disappointing. The hotel was extremely worn around the edges and breakfast was not included. Check in staff were kind enough but with only one staff person at the check in desk, we waited an extremely long time. Would not stay here again.
After a day of touring the Oregon coast, it was really nice to settle into a room overlooking the ocean. The sound of the waves and the sunset from my window was the perfect ending to a day of sight seeing. I ordered room service as well so I could continue to enjoy the view uninterrupted.
I booked after midnight. I had originally booked at the Elizabeth inn in Newport but when I arrived since I had brought my 5 year old they told me no they could not let me in. Very frustrated since I had booked weeks ago I didn't know what hotel would have availability. It was after midnight and I have driven 9 hours away. They were able to book me in and the front desk was exceptionally nice and very helpful. My family ended loving the hotel and will definitely stay again. The staff is awesome.
Rooms were clean except for dog smell when windows were closed up. Seemed like everyone I saw had a dog! Had an ocean view, restaurant on premises, nice parking area. Stayed 4 nights and it was comfortable and close to lots of things in Newport. I would stay here again.
I called for breakfast at 10:25 am not realizing they stopped serving at 10:30 am. When I realized my mistake, I apologized and asked if it was too late to order. If he had said that it was too late right then, I would have understood and thanked him and hung up. But he said it wasn't too late and took my full order-he even asked me questions, clarifying my order. He ended by letting me know that the kitchen was backed up and it might take a little longer than usual, to which I said I totally understood... and I THANKED HIM. 1 hr and 25 minutes later I called and of course there was no answer. So I called the front desk. The lady that answered said the Hitchens had closed and everyone had left. She even checked and that guy just took my order and then never put anything in. He blatantly lied to me. We waited nearly 1.5 hours- my kids were hangry and frustrated, as was I. I chose your hotel because of the free breakfast for kids but I did not feel that I could trust that e would actually get our food so I didn't order again over the next 2 days we stayed. The lady at the front desk said she would "look into it and see how she could make it up to us" but then we got no follow up or anything for the remaining 48 hours we stayed there. We stay in Newport every summer and this is not a hotel I would recommend to anyone nor would I stay there again. A really awful experience... and we stayed at a place that smelled like crab last year- at least they didn't lie to us.
We hav e been here several times over the last 15 years. The highlight is the view and the restaurant this year. They have upped their game on the food. Flakey and well breaded halibut, chicken pasta and Korean wings. Our server Nancy, I never saw her stop the two nights we were there. From cleaning to,straightening the bar chairs she never stops moving. That is a rarity on the coast. Stop in for dinner or spend the night. After all these years it just improved!
This is a beautiful property! I am not very familiar with Best Western Plus brand, and this experience was a nice surprise. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Our view from the hotel room was a beautiful view of the coast. Our family enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Would highly recommend.
We had a lovely impromptu winter stay. Check in was super easy, staff was pleasant, and the hot tub very welcome after a cold day at the beach. Clean room, comfy bed, and the attached restaurant was surprisingly good!
Lovely location overlooking the ocean, with a lovely restaurant on-site. Great food, breakfast not supplied though, so is on your dime. Staff in both the hotel and restaurant were very friendly and helpful. All in all, a great stay.
Very nice property, you won't be disappointed. We always travel with our pup and this property is pet friendly. They put us on the 6th floor which I thought would be a problem but because the property is on a hill, it has an upper parking lot that connects to the 6th floor via a walkway. Very nice getting our pup and luggage out without having to use the elevator.
This is not your average Best Western. The decor & rooms are upscale, bright & serene. I am so impressed they offer boxed cartons of water to Platinum BW members. Kudos for ditching the plastic! They will allow unattended, quiet pets in your room while you dine/drink in their lounge/restaurant! Our dinners were delicious. You have to pay for breakfast but it is worth it. You walk right out the back door, down a driveway to an expansive beach & dunes. Pet bag/waste stations are available & a hose for sandy paws. A laundry room with 3 washers & dryers. This is our 2nd visit. We highly recommend this hotel.
Our race club held our annual awards banquet weekend here. This included a catered dinner and use of the banquet and hospitality rooms. There is just nothing bad I can say about our experience. It was excellent, clean, well-run, and friendly. Access to the beach is excellent. Restaurant (and catered) food was delicious. They made us feel very much at home and valued. I'm sure we will be back next year.
Great location with a beautiful ocean view. The staff are nice and answered any of our questions. The restaurant has a view of the ocean and they also have tables outside with fire pits. We had the lobster mac and cheese and the pork chop- yummm. The rooms have comfy beds and the pool area was a added bonus:)
We went to the Agate Beach Inn because we knew it had wonderful views of the ocean. We wanted to see the winter storms. This provided great views. It's also in a great location. You are not far from groceries, the docks, the aquarium, and scenic areas for whale watching. We can
Best Western Plus agate Inn is best place in Newport for the getaway ! We always enjoy our stay with the property but this time it was over and beyond customer service and that's the reason I gave 5 star to the property. The attached picture is half an hour away towards Florence, Oregon.
This hotel has the most comfortable beds, super nice clean rooms and the views are great! Bed food is a fantastic option(room service) and all the food tastes good! We also get to bring our pup along with us! This Agate Beach hotel is our go to
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in the area, beautiful ocean view on the coast, great quiet comfy room and bed, everything was extremely clean from the outside grounds to the inside of the hotel. Great staff especially Melissa at my check in, she is very knowledgeable about the area and has great recommendations for restaurants.
My wife and I renewed our vows this weekend and our room was the perfect room with the view to celebrate our honeymoon. Everything in our room was great. The hotel is in a great location as it sits in the middle of everything we wanted to do during our stay!! Thank u BW!
The staff was incredibly unfriendly - didn't even direct me to my room or greet me when I arrived. The door to the balcony wouldn't lock, there was no included breakfast (unlike at most other Best Westerns).
Nice place to stay on the oregon coast. Went down with our dogs for the birthday we always try to find a best western. Nice hotel, there dog policy is very strict and full of fines if they pretty much do anything dogs will do so be careful of that
This was our second stay at the Agate Beach Inn and I look forward to my next stay with them. The front desk staff and Assistant Manager are amazing! Most of the rooms with oceanview are stunning. My family members had a room that was tucked away in the corner, but still had an oceanview; it wasn't 'as nice' of a view as they had last time but the room itself felt bigger and had a couch in it instead of two chairs. There is a path towards the beach, it's a bit of a walk and may be a bit more strenuous for individuals with disabilities to navigate (I have largely been lucky and have had good days), and, unless I am not aware of it or just completely overlooked it, I have not seen a wheelchair access to this part of the beach. The hotel itself, though, seems to be quite accessible with ramps and elevators and space to navigate. Breakfast is not included, although, the hotel does have a bistro on the first floor (accessible by stairs and I saw they have a lift within the bistro as well). The food is overall really good but can get quite expensive if this is the only place used to obtain food. Dinner options are relatively limited unless you enjoy seafood. The baked chicken was really good, but for $23 I had expected at least a few more vegetables and perhaps some rice or a side salad. The outdoor patio is cozy, but even with the heat from the fireplace can get quite chilly during the fall. We utilized room service for breakfast and next time I stay, I may choose this option again despite having spent $40 on breakfast - however, that is easily spent at McDonalds nowadays, too. The food was still hot when it came to the room and was good. Overall, I definitely recommend the hotel!
We usually stay at this BW when we are in Newport, the past several years they have been remodeling and it was fine, but a little rough. It is now complete and looking sharp, clean, and the rooms are very comfortable. The bed was really nice and actually comfy! The view was lovely and the service was very good.
We loved the gorgeous view from our room and the proximity to the beach. Very nice design inside too. The conference rooms were spacious and comfortable. All of the staff, from check-in to housekeeping, to food service, they were all outstanding!
The room and the entire hotel was clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. The beach is basically at the hotels door step. They have a pool and an hot tub. The location is great! It's slightly tucked away to give it some privacy but also close enough to local bars and diners if you wish to adventure a little. They do have there own diner/ restaurant the sea glass with a cute fire pit and little fires at the outdoor tables. I'll definitely be booking a stay here again.
I really enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. If they are available make sure you book an ocean view room. The view is beautiful. The hotel and amenites were very nice, clean and well kept. The restaurant / lounge has an incredible view and beautiful patio wot a firepit at each table. The food is great. There is also a really nice large grass area along the paved sidewalk to the beach that includes an archway for photographs that uses the beach and ocean for a backdrop.
Great place but very busy. I wanted to utilize their hot tub but so many people were in it all day and evening without giving people turns. Rooms great, food is great can't complain other than the pool area.
The front desk is a bit over the whole customer service thing- however since that is part of the post-Covid hotel experience I will leave it at that statement. The biggest issue arises when you are at an event and the event goes to 530p. Check out is a noon, you have no where to go and the restroom is needed —the only public restrooms are by the conference rooms on the main beech level this means the few restrooms are in constant demand. Demand from the conference attendees, the restaurant patrons —the people coming in from the beech which may not be guests but it's easy access and who will question you. Needless to say for the price per night and inability to use the restroom at a paid event this is strong showstopper for me.
Great Best Western on the Oregon coast - don't miss this one if you are in Newport. The indoor pool and jacuzzi were a welcome amenity after a long drive. The restaurant has a great chef, the pork chop was perfection, as well as the chocolate torte with cherry chiffon creme. Staff was more than helpful and really appreciate the coffee in the lobby since we had to hit the road at 7:30 am.
The location was great and view from our window were beautiful! We went down to the bar and sat outside on the patio for a glass of wine and just enjoyed the view. The next morning we went for a walk on the beach and it was empty. Enjoyed our stay here.
We loved this hotel. There is a very peaceful vibe about this location. The ocean view room we had on the 5th floor was awesome. Watching the waves was relaxing. The room itself is very nice and recently renovated. This hotel changed my mind on the BW brand as I had no idea they had hotels of this caliber. I'm looking forward to having this option available to consider in other locations. Breakfast was a great deal, especially if you have kids who eat free. The yogurt here was the best we've ever had. Service in the restaurant was a little off for breakfast but no big deal.
This location is really a upscale hotel. The hotel is across from the ocean. Customer service A+++ There is a Restaurant on site reasonable price and very good. We have room service for our dinner. We have a breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice at the restaurant. We will stay here. Wish all best western hotel like this location.
The lady at the front desk was terrible downgraded our room and wouldn't allow me to ask questions to get the correct rate. i will not be staying at this best western ever again and ive stayed at many all over the united states worst experience by a long shot.
For anyone wanting a true oceanfront experience, this hotel may not fit the bill. First, the hotel is set back from the ocean quite a ways and it's a bit of a walk to get to the waves. Second, you can't sit out on the balcony because it's a 'juliette' style and therefore only about a foot and a half deep. We got off to a rocky start in that the room we were given smelled a little like deodorizer trying to mask pet odor (even though the room supposedly wasn't on a "pet floor"). No worries, we were quickly given another room on the same floor that was odor-free. Pros: 1) The bed was comfortable! 2) There was a bath/shower combo (vs. just a shower which is all you get in many of the newer hotels) 3) The room was spacious and well-equipped with coffee maker, microwave and fridge (and the fridge was quiet all night long) 4) Didn't hear other guests from the room 5) There was both a screen and glass slider so we could get fresh air and hear the sound of the ocean without allowing bugs in the room. 6) The pool was a decent size and there's a fitness center (but we didn't use them) Cons: 1) The issues mentioned above: farther from the water than other properties we've stayed at along the coast and it's a distant view. Also, if you're at the north end of the hotel part of your view will be of trees. 2) I was really bummed about not having a real balcony. I was looking forward to sitting out on an oceanfront balcony with my cup of coffee in the morning, but that's not possible at this hotel. They claim every room has a balcony, but that seems like false advertising. 3) On our last day, housekeeping ignored the "privacy, please" door hangar, went into our room to clean it, took the stuff we had in the fridge and put it in our cooler, and placed the cooler outside the door. Imagine our surprise when we returned to the room with our take-out breakfast to find we'd been checked-out without our permission. This happened well before check-out time. To management's credit, they offered some compensation for the inconvenience. More upsetting was the fact that housekeeping insisted there was no hangar on the door when there absolutely was.
I would still like it explained how a hotel bathroom could be "cleaned" but the staff not realize that the bathtub drain \\backed up as soon as water was run. Apparently the previous sentence is not allowed in a review.
it was centrally located so we could travel the whole coastal area and see what we wanted to see. the motel was clean and will cared for. if you are looking for a nice place to stay on the Oregon coast the won't cost you an arm and a leg this is it.
Excellent Location-Beachfront. Clean comfortable room, nice Hotel. Nice pool & hot tub. Great Restaurant. Pet & child friendly, Staff was attentive, can walk to Beach, good location to shops. Would recommend!
From the room to the food at the Sea Glass, who could ask for more?! Everything was top notch! We have never stayed in Newport before, we had only stayed in Lincoln City. I had decided to try another location for our get away, and was so happy I did. Friendly staff, great food, comfortable beds, and not to mention an amazing view! We have found our new hotel at the beach! Thank you!!
I get that rooms are higher priced, it's summer and weekend ok but $450 a night? We check in and the ammonia hits like a freight train as soon as the door opens. The side of the shower was covered in drawings in hair from the last guest. When a room change was requested they said they were booked full and said they would come clean the shower. The cleaning lady was very apologetic and said that was disgusting and would get us appetizer credits to the restaurant. And tried to spray enough cleaner to cover the smell. So we had a clean bathroom headache and just settled into bead and the fire alarm goes off and the hotel gets evacuated at 11:30pm (I get it, fire alarm you have to get out). Walk back into the after 30 min…wham! Dog pee smell right in the face again…a lot of money to pay for a stinky room for one night
The check-in staff seemed a little overwhelmed (probably due to understaffing). The tub drain was clogged and the inside of the door was very dirty. We had to move our check-in date up by one day (both dates, non-holiday weekdays) and were charged an extra $60.00. For the price we expected a little better.
Great location! It's as if you have a private beach or at least beach at your finger (or toe) tips. Very nice hotel. Everything is tastefully beach-y. Due to price of rooms, no continental breakfast, and style it feels more like a resort than a motel/hotel. Great pool and hot tub room. Plenty of room for multiple families and the wooden ceiling makes the acoustics manageable. I would say good for a splurge if you usually don't spend $300 a night and truly intend to spend a majority of your time at the beach or on site.
Location is amazing but the management and staff exceeded anything we've experienced staying anywhere else for the last few years. A cozy palace by the beach that even our kids say they love! Agate Plus goes above and beyond!
We always enjoy staying at the Best Western Agate Beach when we are up in the Newrport, Oregon area. The rooms are very clean, the food is great and there are a lot of anenities for all ages. The beach is close by for added fun.
Awesome location within walking distance to Agate Beach. Great view, great staff restaurant and lounge, clean and comfy rooms. Outdoor seating with fire pits and beach view really set the vacation atmosphere.
Having grandchildren I love little ones and their noises and messes but when I want a couple of days away at the beach I hope to have a few quiet hours. This is not the place for quiet. Noises travel through walls easily, the pool was full of kids during adult-only hours. At least they weren't in the bar! Otherwise a very nice hotel in a nice location.
Yes, they have an ocean view and a restaurant but are more than double the price of nicer BW hotels with a less friendly staff. One person at the desk was friendly. Breakfast costs extra, not included. This is a BWPlus. Our BW in Florence, Oregon gave us a better room, excellent breakfast, river view, upgraded larger room because of my BW Rewards status and was very friendly.
This hotel is a gem. Beautiful location on the ocean front. Very attractive, updated decor and the rooms are very clean and well furnished. This hotel is more upscale than I expected. I look forward to staying there again.
Nice hotel. staff was very helpful with reservations. We were driving and looking for a place to stay. Was able to get it a little cheaper using our AAA membership. just a one night stay but enjoyed the hot tub before check out at 12.
The hotel was clean and well staffed. My experience with staff was positive. My bed was amazingly comfortable and the climate control in the room was perfect. And it was right on a beautiful beach! We will definitely stay here again!
rooms were small in comparison to a couple other stays up the coast. also bathroom door is a sliding barn door style with no apparent lock. with 5 kids it was quite the challenge for any comfort. not worth it for beach access which was a considerable factor for the stay.
I take this trip every year and stay at the Agate Beach Best Western Plus every time. First time having dinner at the Bistro downstairs and it was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Newport.
The view of the ocean is amazing, very easy to get to. The rooms were very quiet and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our toilet and after a call to the front desk there was a gentleman there to fix it within minutes.
Our stay was very pleasant. We found the room to be clean and spacious and the bed very comfortable. The staff was very nice and made a noticeable effort to ensure that our stay was good. We would definitely stay there again.
This hotel property charges way too much for what you get. The treadmill was not working, the spa was closed and the room was not well equipped. The rooms were not in the best condition and this property should charge half of what they do. If you have a pet they charge $50/night. They also stated that if your dog barks and someone complains you could be charged $200.
Spouse & I stayed 3 nights, 4 days on a coastal getaway. Clean, comfortable, superior ocean views, easy beach access, cordial staff, the fastest hotel elevator we've ever used, speedy wi-fi, complimentary newspaper, an indoor pool that has water warm enough for me. (That's a huge compliment.). The concerns: Housekeeping didn't empty wastebaskets one day or pick up used coffee cups a different day. Hand/body lotion tubes weren't replenished one day. Coffeepot stopped working after 2 days. Coffee was available in lobby, so that wasn't a huge issue. We were given coupons for 2 “bottled” (they're in boxes like milk) waters, but even one bottle per day for 2 guests to share would be helpful. I understand hotels are trying to bounce back from 2 awful years & are facing inflation/ increased costs. Breakfast is not provided & we didn't eat at the restaurant.
Fire alarm went off after my disabled dad was asleep & he had to evacuate the 6th floor with limited mobility. Front desk refused to provide any concession. Room and location were great. Staff not so much
This hotel is like a resort; extraordinary location, fabulous amenities, and incredible views! Staff is wonderful and the restaurant is wonderful with great food. Highly recommended and a great value to boot.
One of the finest places to stay on the Oregon Coast. Newly remodeled. Quiet, Excellent service by maids cleaning rooms. Great parking area. Accessible and safe. Close to downtown Newport and Newport Bay.
This facility is beautiful with great ocean views. There are plenty of places inside and outside to sit and enjoy beach view, including fire pits. There is easy access to the beach. The hotel restaurant is good and great access to other restaurants in the area.
The view and proximity to the ocean was great. The facility was very comfortable. the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Security was very good. The location was convenient and easy to e reach.
Hands down the Best Hotel my wife and I have ever experienced with both of us traveling extensively during our working careers (she 20 years as Flight Attendant and myself as a Senior Manager for a worldwide company). The beds were very comfortable with your choice of hard or soft pillows. Room amenities included to nice chairs for enjoying the view, internet, TV microwave, coffee and fridge.
Ocean side rooms worth extra expense! Open the glass door, pull up a chair. The action of the waves and ocean roar lets your mind ride the rolling sea. Room clean. Easy parking and hotel entrance. Warning, no free breakfast and breakfast prices steep. Many food options nearby.
The staff is great! If you enjoy swimming the indoor pool is a MUST visit. The views are spectacular. The rooms were clean and well latex out. The dining available on site was delicious! My Mother's Day spent with kids and grandkids will be unforgettable and I attribute that to all the things my family got to enjoy while we were at this Best Western Agate Beach location. OH DID I MENTION EASY BEACH ACCESS BEAUTIFUL Agate Beach
It was an anniversary stay. We loved the view and staff were so friendly. We ate at the restaurant and it was good and average prices. Clean and all worked. A little bit of wear in places but still very nice.
We had an amazing time at this location. It is a great location, super close to the beach (walking distance), but on the outskirts of Newport so still a quiet location. Swimming pool was good, restaurant on site with good, with good food and a really cool outside eating area. The rooms are okay, nothing fancy, but decent. Will stay here again.
The weekend I stayed at the hotel was absolutely beautiful. From the sunset over the ocean to the easy access of the sky bridge from parking lot to hotel. All the employees were kind and friendly. They even have places to watch the ocean that are not in the rooms. The restaurant food was excellent. Though they don't serve lunch. The meals were excellent. Rooms were clean. I had an ocean front room and the view was amazing. Could even see the lighthouse. All and all a great stay
Hotel has great beach views and beach access. Room clean but warm at night to sleep. Bonus to open slider to hear waves and birds. Sea Glass restaurant has fun outdoor fire pits and beautiful sunset views. Services a bit slow and food ok, the views steal the show. Easy hotel parking. Indoor pool strong smell of chlorine and packed with kids. There's adult swim in late evenings.
Great location, great facilities, good oceanfront views, very close to beach. Rooms were modern and clean. Friendly staff. We occasionally spend the night in Newport, and this one of our new favorite spots!
Attended a business conference here. Rooms were clean (although smoke smell lingers even after all these years - can't do anything about that...), and spacious. Quest, and had an ocean view. Food was managed by the hotel and was good given mass-production. Staff was very helpful and made the experience pleasant. Would be a great vacation hotel.
This hotel right on Agate Beach was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Having the beach right out the doors was great for traveling with pets. We loved the bed, so comfortable!! Although we didn't dine there it was a nice option to order room service if you chose. Check out is at noon which we really appreciated.
One of the best. Recently updated and it was done beautifully, The whole hotel experience was delightful! We had two wonderful breakfasts and then the dinner was even more wonderful! Spent three days celebrating a 88th birthday!! We'll definitely come back…and soon!
I booked this trip over the phone with Best Western agent. I told her I needed dog accommodation. When I checked in, the cost was over $100 more than the confirmation. I tried to dispute the extra amount, but the desk clerk was very curt, said I should have known…extra fee is not noted on the booking…and if I didn't like it, I could go elsewhere! Very unhelpful and really kind of nasty about it.
Hotel was good. Staff was all very friendly. Room was nice. Location and proximity to the beach was great. Biggest disappointment was the restaurant. Again staff was very friendly and helpful. But the food was laughable.
We stayed for three nights and either they were understaffed or lacking in awareness. We had to ask the front desk for regular amenities and they were out of most regular stuff (coffee cups, hot tea etc). Large puddle of water directly in front of the front desk they were clueless about. Hallways were littered with room service trays for hours. We were there for a wedding and had to dodge trays to get downstairs to the event in our formal clothing without getting hallway food on it. Not worth the price. Won't be returning
Disappointed with the room we received. No view except parking lot. Room was not very clean, lots of dirt pushed into the corners of the bathroom floors and countertops. Shower wouldn't drain. Coffee wasn't not made often enough in the morning, it was empty most of the morning and front desk staff was huffy about getting more coffee and creamer
We had such a great time while staying here. It's a short walk to the beach. Great views from the ocean front rooms. The onsite restaurant had great food staff was super friendly. The only downside was that the lobby espresso bar was closed the whole time we were here and the 4th floor ice machine had very visible mold in it. But I will definitely stay here again.
First time to stay at the Agate Beach Inn. It was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had breakfast at the Sea Glass Restaurant and the food was excellent and the wait person was amazing. I would highly recommend staying here.
There are very heavy “barn doors” to access the bathrooms in the rooms. Children cannot open or close them, elderly would have a difficult time too. We brought our dog and we threatened with fines if he basically acted like a dog, then they put us next to a family with smal children who were shrieking well into the night and early morning.
we had a great room with a great view and it was very quiet. the breakfast was very good and we had a nice view there as well. The staff were all friendly and helpful. They were doing some road work outside but even the road crew went out of there way to let us have a way into the parking area
Husband and I took a road trip down the coast and stayed one night at Agate Beach Best Western. It was a good hotel, amazing beach, good location, clean, helpful front desk staff. For ease we ate at the restaurant at the hotel, meal was good, not spectacular but the view was amazing. Parking was plentiful, wifi worked great. Outside fire pit was a treat in the evening as the sun was setting.
Hotel is an updated and comfortable hotel. Rooms are generous sized. I stayed in a king room. Bed was very comfortable. The internet was excellent and what I needed for work. The staff was helpful and friendly.
We paid a little more than we usually do to stay here but it was worth every penny. Hotel is in an amazing location with access to a perfect walking beach. Sunset views were spectacular. The hotel is clean modern and the rooms are a good size. Beds comfortable. I only gave it a 4 out of 5 because the restaurant that is in the hotel is convenient and the staff try hard but the food is hit and miss. Breakfast came out cold. Supper meal was fatty and fish overcooked. They need a food runner as the serving staff are busy and food sits. Not good. They do have nice ocean views and fire tables outside. Nice touch.
We were able to book last minute & got a room with an amazing ocean view. The best part of our stay was the ease of mind we got from the room cleanliness. The pool/restaurant & firepits made our stay extra fun!
Live in Beaverton & took a friend visiting to Newport area. One if our favorite places! Had a good experience/stay before & stayed again. I would definitely recommend Agate Best Western to anyone visiting the area.
Best place to stay! We loved it. Super clean shower and all. No free breakfast but many places in town to get food. Comfortable bed very large tv, nice furniture. Later check out was nice as well. I wish we had more days to stay!!!
Got to the hotel, got checked into a room that wasn't ready yet and dirty. Moved us to another room, gave us breakfast vouchers. Second day there, ordered room service and it never came so we called the kitchen and they said it was still in the works. It showed up and they said it was free of charge and on them but it was the wrong food…
We enjoyed our stay, room was clean and ready for upon arrival. Pool and hot tub were also great. Stuff was friendly and and helpful. Good views of the ocean. Great beach access and convenient to shopping.
Great ocean view from the room. The staff was very courteous, the overall hotel and rooms were very clean. The restaurant was good and also had a view. We plan to stay there again and would recommend this hotel to friends.
The staff is amazing except one old lady thats the manager who looks like she hates the world. I believe she judged me by my age thinking I cant afford to be staying in a nice hotel because im young. Completely would cut my sentences off if I asked questions
The restaurant was delicious and was charming. The hotel room was very clean but was decorated like an office. No fireplace either. Also, there were dirty towels and bedding outside the room across from us for our entire stay.
Great place to stay, always good service, love the towels and pillows! So comfortable. I am a reward member and joined because I have found the consistency at Best Western to be very good. They always go above and beyond for their guests, that is rare these days!
We spent 1 night at the agate beach Inn. Besides the wonderful weather the hotel was great. Rooms were very inviting and decorated very tastefully. Our view on the 6th floor couldn't have been better. We were there on a week day so parking was really easy and check in was quick. Room service was great and fast. Everyone was super friendly. Pet set up was great. I slept like a baby on the bed husband didn't sleep so great. Room very quiet. Everything was perfect expect for one thing. Brand of coffee they use is not good. Had to drive to starbucks. We had a REALLY WONDERFUL TRIP. Usually my biggest concern is the cleanliness of a room. This one gets a A+.
The view is beautiful, especially from the higher floors. The rooms are great, we love the ocean view with the mini balcony. All of the staff are very friendly. The beds are the best, they are super comfy! If you book early the prices are way better.
This room has an amazing rom that overlooked the beach. When we woke up the whole place was white and snowing. What a way to spend the day after Christmas! They also take extra care to make sure your pets are comfortable. I really enjoyed the tags you hang on the door to let people know there is a dog in the room.
Great location, easy beach access, lovely hotel, I will stay there again. I didn't take advantage of the on-site restaurant on my one night stay. But I did hit the coffee bar, the pastries were delicious. My grandkids loved the pool. I loved tge hot tub.
very nice decor, excellent pet policy, delicious food and amenities including room service. Fire pits beautiful interior, super impressed. Even games and lots of sitting areas in the main lobby. Also an individual coffee bar with delicious options but you also get coffee in your room of course. Amazing and Friendly staff
Loved staying at the Best Western Agate Beach Inn. Longtime loyal customer to this particular hotel. It is very convenient for walks on the beach. I always book an Ocean view room and love the unobstructed view and salt air. (Floor to Ceiling Slider). Restaurant and fitness room all onsite.
Lovely view, pet friendly, rules do not apply to all.lobby coffee available until 10:30 a.m. amenities charged to room, can not pay with Cash or card for service, food to go from restaurant, lobby store. Payment for food ect. Payed when checked out was billed a second time although disputed only received partial refund.
Rooms were spacious and very quiet. Did not hear any neighbor noises. Would definitely Stay again. Beds were very comfortable. Room was in good repair. Nice to have a restaurant on-site. Pets were allowed and a number were in attendance.
This hotel has been remodeled since our last visit. Very lovely. Beautiful views, nice room appointments,you don't hear a lot of noise from other rooms, good solid Construction. Nice size room very clean.
Staff is amazing here! The staff make a huge difference in our travel experience. Pool & hot tub are open late and the room with the oceanview & mini balcony was perfect! Hotel has restaurant so no free breakfast for kids here.
Beautiful/well maintained property.!! Sorry I did not catch the name of the lady at the front desk. She was friendly, thorough and communicative. Gave advice for easier access to room via parking options. Terrific view from the 5th floor. Easy access to beach. Room was well appointed and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. The only negative I have to make is the "Bistro" for breakfast was very cool almost cold temperature wise. Had to go to the room for a jacket. They opened at 7:30 and we arrived at 7:35 - they needed to start the portable heaters earlier. Food was tasty and service was good.
We love it here. The hotel is beautiful and modern and clean. The staff is the best and the pool is heated and beautiful. We come often and Te always happy. We bring our pup and because we are Gold members we often get upgraded to ocean view rooms. It's the best.
I was at the Best Western Plus at Agate Beach for a Conference, and we were all so pleased with the staff, the food, the accommodations. Very clean and comfortable, lovely views of the ocean and the lighthouse, wonderful place. If I come to the coast again, this is my go-to place.
Stayed here for one night for my husband's birthday, food was good but waitress kept forgetting everything, exercise equipment needed to be fixed in the fitness center, sheets looks like they hadn't been changed, staff was very rude and overcharged us. Not a quiet or peaceful place.
Large heated indoor pool & jacuzzi were clean & well cared for. Rooms are large & clean. Great view of the Pacific ocean. Close to town without being right in traffic noise Nice restaurant & small clean workout room
The hotel was amazingly decorated with a great coastal atmosphere, big pool, interesting cat walk, wonderful ocean views, easy to get around accessibility, great lounge and restaurant with a variety of options.
Super friendly, efficient staff. We stayed 8 nights and got a discounted price. Beds were comfortable, hotel clean and quiet. The indoor pool was a perfect 88 degrees. The walk to the beach is easy. The restaurant is nice, ocean views are great from restaurant and the room.
There was bloody finger prints on my bedsheets that went unnoticed until the next day. Colleague and I checked to make sure it wasn't us and found no cuts or blood on ourselves. Looked very dry and stained in the sheets so my guess is maid had a cut on their fingertips while making the bed.
We truly enjoy our stay. Having a restaurant and lounge on site and beach access made the stay more than enjoyable. We will come again and stay two nights. We would have appreciated the front desk staff informing us of the restaurant and the beach access.
Great spot steps from the beach. We stayed for 3 nights. Would highly recommend. There is a fridge and a microwave in the room. We had a view of the ocean from our 3rd floor room. The gym is ok, only 3 machines and they are old. It is dog friendly! Nice fire pit on the property as well.
I have stayed at this Hotel 3 different times and it is wonderful. It was nice to see the recent update in décor. The place is very clean, stylish and up to date. The food is good although I think the menu could be updated. The pool is fabulous and so is the view.
Let me state up front that we really like staying at Best Westerns. They usually feel warm and homey. I have to admit this one really threw me. It was like having a Manhattan hotel set right on the coast. It felt stiff and formal. Our room was painted grey which, on this cloudy day, contributed to a sense of gloom. The staff at reception were warm and efficient. We checked out scratching our heads, wondering who approved its design.
This hotel is amazing. Resturant close for dinning. Our room overlooked the ocean. The bedding was comfortable. The room was clean. All of the staff was awsome. The breakfast had great choices. Much more that any other hotel we stayed in.Best stay on our whole trip down 101!!
We had a nice family visit with my in-laws for a couple nights. Nice clean rooms, close to the beach. In-house restaurant was severely understaffed. Breakfasts were pretty good and reasonably priced. Server was wonderful and entertaining. But one evening we stopped in fir a before-dinner drink and was greeted at a totally empty lounge with a surely "do you have a reservation?"
This is a large, well-run Best Western. Room was spacious with a comfortable bed. If you are paying for an ocean view room, be sure to ask for a room on the south end so that you can see the lighthouse. Good free coffee in the morning. Be aware that there are no balconies that you can sit on to watch the ocean waves.
This is a Best Western and expected a moderate facility and service. Boy was I surprised. This hotel is world class and I've stayed in those. From the check-in, our room, service, dining, and check-out were performed by a high performing world class team. I am very critical of hotels when they don't live up to expectations, but this Best Western exceeded every expectation I had. It was a real pleasure to stay at the Best Western Plus Agate Beach. All of this greatness at a very reasonable price.
The staff here is amazing, respectful and helpful. Very peaceful setting, with wonderful views. Pet friendly! The beds are the most comfortable. The ONLY thing I would like better is a balcony for sitting at this hotel. We have never stayed at a Best Western that was less than amazing!
The bathroom door is a barn style door with a huge gap, no privacy and didn't lock. The partial view was one out of three windows the other two were blocked off for the elevator. The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff were great. Privacy in the bathroom is super important and the window situation was ridiculous. $350 a night. Too expensive for the quality and room experience. These rooms should be significantly discounted due to the window being blocked off for the elevator.
Loved every minute at this hotel. It is right on the beach and very quiet. Room 618 on the 6th floor was awesome with gorgeous view!!! Staff were so happy to welcome us and went above and beyond to make us comfortable!
The bed was extremely comfortable, room was clean, and decor was updated! Only downsides were no shampoo or conditioner and no continental breakfast. You can't beat the beach access, though! We definitely would stay here again!
Very nice hotel with easy access to a great beach. Nice restaurant with limited hours. The property seems secluded even though it is right off the highway and next door to the Walmart. We will probably return to this hotel.
Great place to stay. Short walk to the beach. On site restaurant with very good food! Okay prices for the room considering it's summer and COVID crazy. Will be back with out question. Evenings were nice with the patio areas and the heated propane fire pit.
The front desk was very helpfull getting me checked in. Ample parking was easy to find and not far from my room and right next to Walmart. The room was very clean and spacious. I loved the view. Great overall experience. I will definitely come back with my family.
We were amazed at this beautiful Best Western Inn. We ordinarily prefer to book Marriotts or Hiltons, but will look at Best Western Plus Hotels in the future! Large room, gorgeous ocean view, beautifully and luxuriously decorated, and the restaurant was excellent.
Last minute change put us in a room on the lobby/driveway side instead of with a beach view that I had chosen when I booked with Expedia. We were trying to be helpful to the hotel staff by allowing them to change our room, to accommodate some other guests, and it was disappointing to say the least that being helpful took us out of our beach view room to the noisy lobby side without even a thank you for our trouble. There is no continental breakfast right now, even though it is advertised as having it, so don't book here counting on that to help save money. The hotel restaurant is very expensive. Room was fine but didn't seem so clean. The phone was dirty, carpet stained and toilet dirty. The screen door didn't lock to the little balcony, the sliding door is the only “window” that opens,so we weren't able to leave it open for fresh air because it wasn't safe for our 2 year old. Beds were comfortable, maid and staff were very nice. Just a so so visit though, especially at the price.
We stayed at Agate beach best western plus for the second time . It was just as good as the first . Nice spacious rooms . Great restaurant food . We had 3 dinners : different excellent entree each time . Staff very friendly. Hotel right on a beautiful wide Long Beach . We walked miles on the beach each day . Back again next year for sure
We traveled with our 2 dogs and they were very accommodating. Put us on the top floor so we could easily access the sky bridge to let our dogs out. It was my partner's birthday and the ambience gave it a very celebratory feeling.
Stayed with a group for a wedding and reception held at Best Western Agate Beach. We made our reservation 6 months in advance and told the reservation person, we are staying with the wedding group. We werent given the group rate and our group was not even on the same floor, we were spread out across all floors, which made getting ready the day of the wedding a bit choatic. The food at recption was good, however we were given HALF a slice of prime rib, including the groom who asked for a bigger piece and was told NO. and no gravy for the mashed potatoes.
The location is great, the pool is nice and so is the outdoor seating/fire place. This place could use some refreshing but I like it overall. There is a Walmart literally right next door. The have a reasturant on sight and a coffee bar in the mornings.
We had a horrible problem with housekeeping and the upkeep of our rm during our weeklong stay. Every day they turned the thermostat down to 60 degrees so the rooms were freezing when we returned. Someone charged room service to our room and we would have had to pay for it had I not caught the change in room price from when we checked in. Went out to enjoy the fire pit only to find people out there smoking weed around it. Feel like it's a little too pricy for what you get.
The room would have been really good except they replaced a bathroom door with a barn style door on a track. The door would not rest up against the wall as it should and was about 2 inches away from the door casing. You could see, with full view, the person sitting on the toilet in the bathroom! You could also HEAR and SMELL the person in the bathroom as if there wasn't a door at all. The carpet was pretty dirty in the room and it was filthy in the hall. They let dogs into the motel and there was dog hair in big wads all over the halls and in front of the elevators. They don't keep people with pets in their own area of the motel, so if you don't like dogs and their messes, this isn't a good place. If you don't like dogs or being growled at in the halls and elevators, you probably don't want to stay here.
This hotel is clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly. Also the restaurant is quite good (ate both breakfast and dinner during our stay and both were excellent). Note that you can't really use the beach here - it's in a location where the wind is so strong it's almost impossible to take a walk. Also, there is no free breakfast buffet as with other Best Westerns. My sense is the price varies tremendously.
It is a very nice hotel. It feels secluded gem with great ocean view and beach access! Friendly and helpful staff. It has a great restaurant with good food. Has a nice coffee stand in-house. Close to a lot of fun activities.
If you want to stay where a mystery poop odor comes from dirty underwear hidden in your bathroom and receive extra charges days after you check out that take another 4-5 days to be resolved, this is the place for you.
I stayed at the Best Western Agate Beach for a conference and then turned it into a fun trip by staying an extra night. The rooms are beautiful and the staff is very friendly. I had a fabulous experience and will absolutely stay here again the next time I stay in Newport.
The view is amazing with the lighthouse and ocean! Staff is wonderful. If you can AFFORD it, stay here, but call first if you want to swim in the pool or go in the hot tub! The 4th floor we stayed in originally was leaking water from the bathroom fan! Look around if you get on that floor!
What a disappointment. My go to for the Oregon Coast is BW at Face Rock. Great place. Great value. We tried the BW in Newport at Agate Beach. Their rate was higher than Face Rock. So I expected better. The lobby was nice. The hallways were nice. The rooms were ok. I knew there wouldn't be breakfast included going in. What I didn't expect was the housekeeping crew talking loudly to each other down the hall, letting the doors to the rooms slamming closed. All before 10 am. So much for professionalism and allowing some of their guests, me, from sleeping in. After all I was on vacation. Then trying to follow the covid rules, one family at a time in the elevator... Not once but TWICE, housekeeping staff came into the elevator while I was in there with my family. Wow! And to top it off, the room was not clean. There was hair and sand in the tub. The sliding door to the bathroom was dirty. Not to mention there was quite the gap between the door and the wall. Not much bathroom privacy. I wouldn't stay there again. I didn't mind the higher normal price that didn't include breakfast. What I did mind is the higher price when unprofessional staff and a dirty room. Stay at your own risk. I'm sure there are better places to stay and once I find then, I will let you know. P. S. I'm a die hard Best Western guy, so this was extra disappointing.
The hotel restaurant wait staff was grossly un-trained, apparently understaffed, and un-attentive. If you like SLOW to non-existent service and cold food, this is the place to go. The rooms themselves were fine but do not expect much with respect to room cleaning if staying more than one night.
what a wonderful stay. The room was large and lovely. The view was excellent. At night we left the sliding door open and screen closed to hear the ocean...so relaxing. Had a delicious breakfast in the dining room, crab-gruyere omelet. Dinner at the bar in the dining room. Excellent service from Washa and fresh & tasty crab - bay shrimp salad. Customer service was exceptional. We will be back.
Great write up done by arrianamarie19 which mimics our very same visit experience. Very expensive for 2 beds with a view. No pool, room with one very uncomfortable chair, food and force bar expensive, too many pets..no place to sit to enjoy the purchased view. Yes, would have rebooked another place to stay, but everything booked and we would have lost our money. Don't recommend this place.
Love this place. Super clean, friendly and inviting staff members. Really happy with our stay. Pool was out of order which I'm assuming due to covid but still was advertised as being available. Great place to have your dogs on the grounds and they are allowed to be on the beach but as always PICK UP after them. Also they advertise as being the only hotel with AC but ours didn't work. It stayed at 74 the entire time. Not happy about that
I am in love with this hotel. Sooo beautiful. It was so hard to go home! The view from the top floor was amazing and I loved the decor & employees were great, even the restaurant was good! So worth every penny!
What a beautiful hotel! Our room had a hillside view which was fine, but I understand that the ocean front is where it's at! Our room was clean, the fire tables outside were great as it is was cloudy and windy during our stay. The ocean is a short walk on the beach literally out the back door of the property. The restaurant had great fish fry! I wish we had more than one day to spend here!
Hotel was in a prime location, family and pet friendly, and great affordable price point for the best overall package of view, things to do, beach access, location to other activities. Staff were professional and friendly.
Amazing place to stay. I stayed here with family during our travel from california to seattle. This is a hidden gem. Right on the beach, fantastic views from the room, spacious and clean rooms, very collaborative staff, all facilities nearby.
For the price to stay at this property I expect no less than a thoroughly cleaned room. Surprise! Dirty bath cloths hanging on the shower curtain in the bathroom. I cautiously removed them and placed them on the floor out of the way. When I contacted the front desk about it, I received a casual "I apologize for that" and that was it. The room was quiet and the bed was comfortable, but as far as I'm concerned, there is no excuse for this poor housekeeping. After all, if something as obvious as this was missed, what else in the room got missed? Perhaps new bed linens? Just saying. Anyway, this isn't the first time I was disappointed in a Best Western property, but it'll most likely be the last time. You won't see me here anymore.
Sliding barn doors on the bathroom, and surly, ungracious employees at the check-in counter, and no complimentary breakfast—- even though you are spending more for your room than at other Best Westerns!—- makes for an unpleasant and unremarkable stay. There are a lot of other hotels on the beach at Newport, OR. Pick another one.
The hotel was nice however, there were a few issues with our stay. To start, during check-in, they tried charging me $200 more than what I had quoted when I set up my reservation. The gentleman at the front said that it was impossible to have that rate. I showed him the email that I received from Best Western and he still insisted that was an inaccurate price. That issue was resolved and the quoted price was honored however. The next issue was that the fridge was turned off when we got there so it had to be turned on and cooled down before we could put any food in it safely. I've never had a hotel do this, and it was a major inconvenience. Thirdly, any time the microwave was used, the breaker would pop. This was a known issue because when we called the front desk, they said it happens a lot and we have to take the microwave out of the cubby and press the reset button. Again, a major inconvenience. Another inconvenience we ran into was the entrance door for the hotel from the parking lot did not work. And last but not least, the hotel pool was closed for renovations. If they had disclosed this when I made reservations, I would have chose a different hotel. It may not seem like a big issue however this was the first vacation we took our daughter on, and among other things, she was super excited to swim in the hotel pool. We made our reservations only a week before the stay, so there should have been no issue disclosing the pool closure. Oh and I forgot to mention that they said our room would be cleaned daily (with the exception of making the bed due to COVID), but it was cleaned once and the only thing done was the trash taken out. We ran out of toilet paper as well as soaps. Not a big issue but an inconvenience to go to the front desk to get hygiene supplies that should have been refilled. In all, the vacation was fun and we didn't spend much time at the hotel, but when we did we ran into a bunch of inconveniences.
This property has outstanding views from the ocean-side rooms. They are more expensive but worth it. The problem is it is overrun with pets. E.g., there is a bridge that is the only way to access the parking lot. The dogs even take a dump on the bridge. The rooms reasonably well maintained if you don't mind a barn door leading to the bathroom, but the dogs have chewed through the baseboard leaving it frayed and ripped. We acknowledge that people now have dogs instead of children, but they need to leave them at the kennel when they travel. We always did when we had dogs and children. Hotels such as Best Western need to stop encouraging this conduct.
We love staying at the Agate Beach! We have stayed for business trips and pleasure trips with our kids and dog. We love the short walk to the beach and the view from our room was amazing. The firepit on the property is awesome.
The hotel is very nice. Being right on the coast was wonderful. The pool was nice and it was pleasant to have the fewer number of people in the pool area at one time so scheduling was nice. The breakfast was very good. Beds were very comfortable.
Great place to stay. It was a welcomed spot after coming from up north after a few days. The whole property is really clean and comfy. The laundry was credit card operated and did a good job. The restaurant was affordable and the location is great!
We were driving past Newport on the way to Seattle. This was a good location to stay at because it was a walking distance to the beach and Walmart. Rooms were clean and had everything we needed. Wished we had more time to explore the area.
Everything was good, restaurant was super accommodating for our large family group of 9. The downfall was our pool experience we made reservations at 9 the only time left. At I guess 10 there came a guy yelling at us as if he had told us 10 times the pool was closing. No advance just angry yelling that the pools closed you need to get out. It was frankly a little scary and very uncomfortable. If he's that angry about his job maybe he needs to find a different place to work.
My wife and I just concluded a wonderful 3 night stay here. Our 6th floor room had a beautiful view of the beach and Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Beach access is only steps away, the rooms and all areas inside and out are super clean, and the on premises restaurant is upscale and delicious. We strongly suggest spending the extra money and getting an ocean view room...the view is just so perfect. The property is really close to a lot of conveniences, but feels very secluded and quiet when you are there.
Room was very nice. Excellent price. Location was great. The ability to have access to the beach directly was definitely a plus. Would have love to try the restaurant since the menu looks great but we had to leave early
The rooms and the rest of the hotel were very clean and spotless. The bed was very comfortable unlike most hotels. The restaurant was expensive so didn't eat there, and no complimentary breakfast includedin our stay, otherwise would have been 5 stars all around.
Beautiful hotel & view & its in a great location but a nearby dog barked morning & night even after I reported it so we didn't get much sleep. We paid way too much to have to listen to a barking dog & not get to sleep in on vacation.
My husband and I loved our stay here. We had a beautiful view of Agate Beach. Beautifully furnished room and hotel. Very clean and great service.Will definitely stay there again on a return trip to Newport!
A friend and I stayed here in order to watch the lunar eclipse from the beach. The staff were lovely and personable and never batted an eye when we went tramping through the lobby at 3:30 am on our way down to the beach — and were genuinely excited to listen to us rave about it when we came slogging back through at 4:30, this time tracking sand over the clean floor. This is not the first time I've stayed at this BW location, and will definitely not be the last.
Our room was perfect (with the exception of some hiccups with housekeeping). Great view of ocean AND sliding door allowed the sound of the surf to be our vacation soundtrack. Lindy & Andrea were awesome! Would definitely stay here again, but would check on room location to verify it isn't on the lobby floor. Smell of chlotine from the pool was overpowering. They resolved this for us, but in the future I woulkd check first.
I stood in line for (20+) minutes to receive the pool key for my (45minute) pool reservation, and by the time it was my turn in line “Andrea” the receptionist told me, that I only had 15 minutes to spend with my family in the pool! I was so angry, being the fact that I chose this hotel and paid $300 for one night mainly for the pool. My child was very excited to have some pool time and that just defeated the whole purpose of choosing this hotel.
Found someone else's underwear under the sink in bathroom. Hotel did nothing about this. They just looked surprised and didn't offer to even go get them. We didnt touch them and hopefully they will remove them when they clean the room for the next guests.
This was my first time traveling with my pet. Best Western did a great job and was very accommodating. The room had a great view of the ocean and we enjoyed our stay. Be sure to book ahead as this location is very popular. We will visit again. Thank you.
All aspects of our conference were expertly handled by the Agate Beach Inn hotel staff. The wait staff for two lunches and a banquet were efficient and friendly. If we needed anything, the General Manager and Director of Sales took care of it right away.
Property is very nice and right on the beach. Staff was very pleasant and rooms were spotless clean. This is a great property to stay at as your 1/4 mile from the town of Newport with tons of stores and shops.
I discovered this hotel almost 20 years ago; it is perfect to bring your pet. The bistro/restaurant is great, room service is always an option, and the scenery--especially from the top floors--can't be compared anywhere. I love that the upper parking lot connects to the hotel with a sky bridge; my dog used to run across and wait in front of the elevator. Agate Beach is amazing to walk on, awesome for flying kites, too.
They didn't have my reservation and the sliding door from the parking lot to our floor was broken. The staff was very accommodating, considering the circumstances, but they could've offered me a discount/ something free to make up for the inconvenience. Despite the issues, the restaurant had good food and the service by the wait staff was exceptional! The ocean view room was worth the extra cost and the proximity to the beach was great!!
The hotel was over all nice! We had myself, husband and son with 2 of our dogs. The room was pretty clean. The staff was very nice. The beds were horrible for me personally, however I have a very bad back so I think this is just a personal issue and there is nothing wrong with them, they were just very soft in our room. I liked how close we were to the exit on the 6th floor so i could take my younger dog out at night.
The front desk staff is welcoming. Beds are comfortable. Room decor is bright, with ocean themes. Housekeeping staff is willing to answer any questions. Ocean view rooms offer lovely sunset views of the ocean.
This Best Western Plus at Agate Beach provided a Good bang for the buck and lots of rooms with Ocean View at a decent price. Attentive staff and small restaurant in the lobby. Clean, sizable rooms. I would stay here again if I were in the area.
Such a nice hotel, beach access is good, hotel has great amenities! I've always wanted to stay here and it exceeded my expectations! Great food, parking was great with skybridge access. Recently remodeled and it shows.
We wanted to go to the coast to relax. This is a Best Western Plus and the Plus does mean something. The rooms were apparently renovated in 2018. Our room was clean and comfortable. We had an ocean view and spent time looking at the Lighthouse and enjoying the sunsets. Front desk staff were very nice. We had the option to have housekeeping services or defer which I appreciated. There's a restaurant onsite and room service. In room, there is a coffee maker, fridge and microwave. The bathroom is a bit small but the room itself is good size. The sound insulation is decent. The back of the hotel faces the beach. There's a crosswalk and traffic is fairly light. There's a hose station for cleaning off. It's a dog friendly hotel and we saw several during our stay. They even have bags and a disposal station for doggie outings. There's even a gas fire pit in the back. The beach is nicely walkable. It's flat. We found sand dollars and clam shells. It was a relaxing stay and we can't wait to come back.
This is a nice hotel property. Rooms are nice, clean and generally well maintained. We had a 6th floor (top) room, which had amazing views. It was wonderful to pull up the table and chairs to have a nice meal overlooking the beach and sunset. There is a decent restaurant on site, although it has weird hours (covid?) so we had to order out or go out for lunch regularly. There is also a nice firepit that overlooks the beach in a nice sanded area with comfortable charis. Enjoyed that at sunset and even just to relax during the late afternoon. We saw the pool, which was decent. They have a fitness center as well. which was decent too - the equipment was a little older, but in good shape. Staff was friendly, responsive and generally helpful. Parking is in an upper parking lot, but they have a 6th floor skybride that takes you to the top floor of the hotel, so pretty convenient. There isn't a lot within short walking distance, but there was a walmart next door, which was helpful. There is also a safeway, Fred Meyer (w/Starbucks) and a family restaurant that was walkable. Definitely easy to drive to most places in town. All in all a good stay and I would definitely stay again for the location and views
This location gives instant access to the beach and very friendly service. Upper floors have view of lighthouse. Had an excellent time on a trip that was supposed to be for business but was by evening a quiet getta way
This place has a great location with easy beach access. The restaurant/lounge has great seating and the food, drinks and prices are very reasonable. Rooms were clean and well put together. Overall value was superb.
Honestly, we wish we could have stayed longer. We both looked at each other as we were checking out and said, "We don't want to leave! We should have booked another night." The view was superb and very relaxing of the ocean right out the window. It was up and away from all of the noise. The parking and skybridge worked perfectly for parents with a toddler hauling things back and forth from the car. It was so close to the beach! You literally just walk across the street and it's right there! The rooms were great. They seemed very newly decorated. It smelled like cleaner (which actually I don't really like, but hey at least it's clean right?). We even had our own little balcony which my two year old loved! The front desk lady was the sweetest ever. I believe her name was Lindy. I was visibly shaking and ill from getting car sick on the drive over when I checked in, but she wasn't phased at all by it and was super sweet! We had a lovely time and hope to come back again soon.
Great view of light house plus ocean. Nice clean rooms and comfortable beds, also the pool area is very nice. Dining is a pleasure morning, noon or night the food is good and the price is fair. The happy hour is fun.
Oh my This is the best place to stay Best Western Plus Agate Beach You just do not find a hotel like this every day. So very CLEAN. Pets allowed in all rooms. I couldn't tell at all. This is our 4th visit. We will be back
We stayed on the 6th floor. Everything from the check out process, to the room service, to the skywalk out to the pet area and parking was great. We enjoyed the ocean view, the bed was comfy and we slept well, and LOVED the easy access to the beach and food when hungry. Definitely will recommend!
The Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn is a lovely hotel very close to the beach with a lovely view of th ed ocean and sunsets as well as the Agate Beach Wayside. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A little expensive but worth a little TLC.
We stayed here for 3 nights. It is a very short walk to the beach. My wife thought Agate Beach was one of the better beaches along the coast for walking and exercising. We were on the 4th floor facing the ocean. The view was really nice. The sliding door opens up to a small (18") ledge with hand railing. Not enough to go sit out there, but enough to feel the breeze and hear the ocean. The room was standard Best Western. The beds were comfortable and the room was good sized. This Best Western does not supply a free breakfast in the morning. They have a restaurant on the premises were you can go for breakfast. I don't know how good it is because it was closed during our stay. We went to the grocery store and brought back food to put in the fridge for breakfast. My wife loved the place and wants tom go back next time we go to the coast. I was disappointed with some of the service. The staff seemed somewhat confused over several issues. When we checked in on Sunday we were told the restaurant was open for breakfast and the time. When we got to the room we looked at the menu they provided and it said they were only open Thursday through Sunday. When I called the desk I was told that they closed it down because of covid and they could only seat up[ to 25% capacity, but yet they said they would be open 4 days at the end of the week. We were also told we could order over the phone and get the food packaged to take back to the room. I found it hard to understand that if they seat 25% of the guests and the rest could get food to go why they weren't open. It also would have been nice to know this ahead of time. Also the two times I was at the front desk they had guests there that were very upset. One couple had been told they had reservations and when they tried to check in they were not in the system. The hotel was full and they were not happy. The other coupe apparently had been promised that they could change rooms on the second night of their stay for an ocean view room. Whoever promised them that at the hotel failed to enter that into the computer. You might want to book early to make sure you will be able to get an ocean view and then double check to make sure they didn't mess it up. Other than these few things, the stay was great and we will be back again
Wife & I stayed two nights enjoying our ocean views from our room, restaurant also was very good. Also their specialty made drinks were excellent . Couldn't hear noise from neighboring rooms. Retail store within walking distance .
nice clean hotel with nice ocean view(on one side of hotel,must ask for ocean view);hotel has elevator which helped with elders;rooms clean;has beach access with few stairs or can drive down to beach with paved parking and public bathrooms
I'm not a huge review fan but this hotel is worth the time. Taffy at the front desk was the nicest person I have ever dealt with at a hotel ever. I travel a considerable amount and have never felt more welcomed. When I had a family emergency and had to check out early she made it easy and was so understanding. Over all report, the rooms are clean, food and drinks on outdoor patio fire pits were the perfect spot for sunset. Staff there also friendly and fast. Ocean front rooms offer a view of lighthouse which was very cool, excuse poor photos. I will be back to this hotel anytime I'm in Newport.
We stayed at this hotel after a very long day of traveling. We got the last room!!! The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The physical appearance of the hotel is excellant. I strongly recommend a stay here.
Stayed here years ago, the upgrades are Great!! King/Oceanfront 5th flr was beautiful, lighthouse, blue skies and water... All staff very friendly. The only downside was the dog food & people food crumbs on the floor by a chair. We didn't have a dog. Obviously the room was NOT vacuumed properly. FYI check those areas...under the bed, around all furniture. People do look there, making sure nothing is missed when we're packing up to leave. However!! This will not keep us from coming back. It was a great experience and our family from Idaho was next door, they ALSO throughly enjoyed their stay!!
We researched this hotel as we usually do, TA had decent reviews and we were only staying for a night. Check in process seemed fine, slow and sassy front worker but whatever. The room was nice originally, rehabbed. However, at a closer look, it was filthy. Dirty shower with someone else's hair in the sink/curtain. Crumbs and food when we moved the coffee table, dirty towels. I felt like I was being Punk'ed and this was a disgruntled maid that did this room before rage quitting. We got a cot for our toddler, when we opened it, it had DIRTY SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR in it, obviously wasn't cleaned or changed between customers. What?! In the world of COVID how do you mess this up? Completely insane and inappropriate. The only reason I didn't give it 2 stars, is because I emailed BW who called me instantly and made it right. BW customer service was great, the hotel was horrible.
We stayed here over Spring Break with our family and the room was huge with plenty of room for our family. We got there just in time to watch the sunset on the beach from our room's balcony. We swimmed in the pool and ate at the restaurant. All wonderful.
The Best Western Plus at Newport was exceptional in every way..spotlessly clean, very quiet, close to the beach, with an optional ocean view! Restaurant service was great for breakfast and the food was very tasty. Don't pass this one up!
The room was very nice - modern and clean, spacious enough. Fridge and microwave came in handy. It had a great ocean view and a balcony, although the balcony was not deep enough for a chair or anything. That was fine for us as it was chilly. Still great to look out and view the sunset. Staff was nice and allowed us to check in early. Businesses along the highway were convenient but to get to the cute historic area it was about 30 min walk along the beach or a short drive. Also short drive to the fishing docks area which was really cool!
Had a great view of Yaquina Head! The room was bright, clean, comfortable, and modern. Loved the chairs. The restaurant was wonderful, and I love that the pool area has so many windows. The beach is a short walk away, safe and well-lit path. Really wish breakfast was available more days of the week, found out at arrival it would not be open during the days of my stay.
Honestly, if we go back to this part of the coast with my kids, I won't even bother looking at other hotels. This checks all the boxes for a very affordable price. We didn't expect much based on our experiences with BW growing up. This specific location far exceeded our expectations. Clean, well-sound-proofed, updated rooms. Friendly and respectful staff. Beautiful views, good proximity to the beach, outdoor fire pits and rolling lawn, a morning coffee bar in the lobby. There's a little store in the lobby to grab snacks or anything you left at home. There is a TGI-Friday-esq restaurant on site. We're foodies so this isn't the type of place we'd usually dine at. But for a family place with young kids, on site, it was a pleasant surprise.
My elderly mother with dementia escaped unnoticed, from our hotel room in the early am hours. Once she managed to find her way to the front desk she was taken care of with the utmost kindness & professionalism. They were able to figure out who she was & to whom she belonged..! I am so thankful that they were aware of her wandering & need for help.
We booked this room with the understanding from the booking agent that with rewards cad we would get extra points/gift card and breakfast. After booking and checking we find out that none of that was true for this property and the bill had damn near 70.00 worth of taxes and fees. (Could've flown to Vegas for less) The staff was using COVID as an excuse for everything. Covid isn't an excuse for awful service and extremely high prices.
I have been spending a lot of time in Oregon recently for work. This is always where I stay. The Inn is extremely clean, the hosts are wonderfully friendly and the food in the bistro is incredible! I would highly recommend
The staff are by far some of the unfriendliness and rude people I've ever met. The food is mediocre at best. The area is beautiful though. So if you can get a room facing the ocean then you might be able to stomach the terrible service.
AVOID!. I booked with them because their website said they are doing derp cleanings. When I got to the room it was extremely smelly and realized it was the bedding sheets. That's not deep cleaning. Avoid!
The hotel in my opinion is a 5/5 star! The hotel is extremely clean. The staff are all so nice and accommodating. The rooms are very clean. The dining area is beautiful and the food is top notch! The grounds are so well taken care of. This hotel is number one! I will be back. Love love love this hotel.
We came here with our dog for our anniversary and had a fabulous time. We had lovely room with ocean view and easy beach access. Hot tub/pool available by signing up. Best of all, restaurants were open all over town for dine in. We've also come here for meetings too & love it. Great price, will be back.
Hotel & service were great, access to beach was great. But they chose to put sliding barn doors on the bathroom that don't fully close, no lock & a big gaping crack. Very awkward to use the bathroom...know your roommate! I'm going to take a pass on that next time.
I tried to make a reservation online but it wouldn't let me for some reason. I made a reservation at the desk and it was cheaper than online. Front desk had great customer service. All their amenities were open. Their pool was even open. They were giving families 45 minute slots to swim due to Covid. Restaurant/bar plus room service was all open. The reason I mention this is because the previous night we stayed at a hotel in Florence. None of their amenities were available but they still charged full price and their booking site said It was all open. The room was a partial ocean view. The room was large, updated and clean. Only con was the ice machine and soda machine on our floor wasn't on. I saw that someone previously complained about the distance to the beach. It's literally a driveway away. The hotel has so many great views. We will stay again!
Good price for ocean front with a view, good restaurant, nice staff. Wish the fire pit was on all day and that the self serve coffee station was back open. I'm assuming it was closed due to COVID restrictions.
Everything, with the exception of the underwhelming, overpriced restaurant food, was very nice at this location. Although not directly located on the water, it has a very good view and has easy access to the beach. Staff was helpful and good customer service.
Very helpful staff, great amenities, beautiful location and easy access to the beach. My first time there, but I would and am going to be going back again! The restaurant has amazing food, so you don't even need to leave the hotel if you want an all inclusive feel!
We have stayed here several times & have loved it, but this time was a big Let Down. The bed was far too hard. Both my husband and I woke up with "sleeping" arms (side sleepers) due to circulation being pinched. It made relaxing in bed to watch TV or read uncomfortable. They do have 2 comfortable chairs but it's just not the same as cozying up in bed. The bathtub didn't drain. Pretty gross. At that point it was over halfway through our stay so there was no point in telling them. We let them know at checkout. If you enjoy your privacy in the bathroom, just a heads up, they use a barn-door style for it. It slides closed but it doesn't seal so noises and such come through the space between the wall and door. It was fine for us but I was definitely aware that it wasn't all the way "closed". Due to Covid, several amenities are gone or limited: - Housekeeping doesn't come unless you request it but they can't touch your bed or your things. - No longer a wine (and snacks) reception in the evenings. - no complimentary beverages in the lobby. - The pool was open but you have to reserve a 45 minute slot once per day. The view is beautiful with somewhat easy access to getting onto the beach. It's a walk down a hill, crossing a street and then walking over a little make-shift bridge. It is not disabled-friendly and the walk back up the hill is a lot of effort if you're not used to doing things like that. If I recommended this hotel after this stay I would express what "used to be" and now "what is".
For a lot of things still being shut down due to COVID-19. I was very happy that the pool was open and how they allowed you a scheduled time to take your family down there. Also they had a small stand set up for coffee , and some breakfast options.
This is our favorite hotel. Wonderful staff, clean, comfortable, great coffee and food. Love the view! The fire place is so nice with a good coffee in the morning and we love love the salt water pool! It's warm and clean!
We just wanted to get away. Like everyone else, we are tired of being cooped up because of restrictions. Despite the nasty weather and restaurants only open for curbside or delivery and limited amenities, we chose to come anyway. We were pleased with our room. Very nice. We loved that they are very pet friendly and are the grounds are set up for that. We loved the view from our fifth floor room. The lobby and hallways nice and well lit. The staff were efficient and friendly. Only negatives about the room was that a table/chairs would have been nice as we ate all our meals in our room and the balcony could be a little bigger. The BIGGEST issue we had was our noisy neighbors. New Year's eve, although quite annoying, I gave them a break. I could deal with it even though it wasn't until 2:30 am that I could get to sleep. The next evening, they began arguing around 5pm. After 11 pm I could tell it was never going to end and it was escalating and I was afraid that someone was going to get hurt. I called the front desk and Dawn came up immediately and spoke to them. Kuddos to her! I do not fault the hotel for the people next door. I could have called sooner but I guess I am way to patient ! I would LOVE to come back when the weather is better and things open back up.
Beautiful views and easy access to a great beach. I appreciate they are dog friendly. Friendly staff. Downfalls: doesn't include breakfast as many other BW plus do, bedding was shabby & thin walls, could hear neighbors conversations.
The staff were friendly and polite. The room had a couple of minor problems considering it was advertised as just being renovated. Loved that it was so close to the sea we never needed to leave our room to see the ocean waves. We could not use any of the amenities due to Covid, but they have a small area with supplies, and an in house restaurant.
What a superb location (Newport, Agate Beach) and comfortable property. A present and helpful staff. Covid precautions were well done and not irritating. We look forward to returning with extended family for relaxation and play. If I ever need four or five days to work on a writing project or need to think something through... I'll be here.
This may be one of the nicest properties I have found on the Oregon Coast! The property was renovated in 2018 (according to the staff) and it was done in a very tasteful manner. The property was decorated in a very modern style that is very nice. A lot of renovations are done quickly and some things are not updated correctly. They did not skip any of the little details. I will definitely stay at the property again. One of the best Best Western Plus locations you will find!
We stayed 9 days with no trouble and the view of the ocean was as advertised. Clean room, good beds. Staff very helpful with local things to do. Exercise room open by appointment during COVID time. Nice location
Had a terrific time the view of the beach from our room was fantastic. The clam chowder was delicious. I also recommend the applewood smoked bacon cheese burger with fries. If you go there I highly suggest you go to the Newport aquarium.
Stay here if you want to completely unwind & relax! A beautiful hotel right on the beach with an amazing view of the ocean. The staff was courteous & helpful always, the rooms were beautiful. We will be coming back! Loved it!
Amazing ocean views from the room. Literally a 2 min walk to beautiful Agate Beach. Very pet friendly. Check in was a snap, even during COVID. Great service from housekeeping and in the Bar/Restraunt. The beds are beyond comfortable. Best Western Plus has done a great job keeping up the grounds and property. Situated away from the tourist areas of Newport on the North end of town. If you want a great stay and great value, give this Best Western a try.
Loved staying at this hotel and the stunning views from inside and outside. The easy walk to the beach was refreshing. Rooms were very clean and well equipped. Amenities are complete: conference rooms, pool, workout room, restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating, coffee bar in lobby, fire pit, etc. Parking is on two levels with access in front of the hotel and via a sky bridge directly from the hotel elevator area. It's unique but very easy to access.
All of these were excellent and, in particular, it was most enjoyable during the Covid times to be able to sit in a restaurant and enjoy the complete eating experience that is not available in many facilities.
We stayed at this hotel years ago, it was in need of an upgrade. It is now very comfortable, clean, and has a great lounge/restaurant so you can arrive and relax! There is a parking lot that is accessed by a walking bridge, which can be confusing. This is necessary because the hotel sits on a ledge at Agate beach, so it is worth it! We just used the carts to transport luggage. Rooms are very clean, beds are comfortable, it was very quiet. Espresso bar in lobby. Fire pit outside of lounge!
This property is on the beach and the view rooms are amazing. You could probably pass this Best Western off as a Marriott, it is that nice. The balcony was small but useful and the slider door was commercial grade as well as the screen. Slide the door open for the fresh breeze and sounds from the ocean, slide the screen door into place to keep the bugs out. Most sliders and screens in hotels are in poor repair, not here. I have never seen this quality for a balcony door. Much appreciated. Slept on a Beautyrest mattress. No problems there. Restaurant and lounge were operating, room service available. Most guests were observing Covid 19 precautions
Rooms very clean updated nice location. Views are awesome. Restaurant on site with room service. Customer service great ! 6th floor pet friendly. Definitely recommend next door to walmart and shopping and has beach access to Agate Beach.
Stayed 1 night ocean view 4th floor view great but room had very dirty grimy carpet had not been cleaned in along time, bathroom sink plugged up drained slowly. Best Western in Newport needs to finish updating and maintain cleaner rooms.
Requested ocean-view room was told none available however on street entrance a sign stating ocean view rooms currently available. Also called and asked anonymously later in the day and yes some available. Why I was lied too unclear staying here a week was planning a second week but moving to different hotel. Rooms very clean updated nice location.
Yes, the views and location are definitely a plus. But, I spent the night listening to an obnoxious child screaming and another rooms tv on the entire night. I couldn't hear the ocean and that is one reason I stayed. For the price, I don't expect to hear so much through the walls and it wasn't because the noise was unusually loud. It was typical level hotel noise for the most part. It was the worst nights sleep I've had at a hotel in a long time, though. The rooms are nice, but that doesn't matter so much when you can't sleep. I doubt I'll stay here again due to the paper thin walls.
Great location with convenient beach access and lots of outdoor seating options. Clean rooms with all the needed essentials for a long term stay. Lots to do in the area even with COVID despite all the forest fires.
The room was nice and the staff was friendly. Easy check in and out. The views of the ocean were nice. The only con was they didn't leave any extra rolls of toilet paper in the room. The restaurant/lounge had great food. They do a good job of using caution due to Covid-19
One benefit to online school (and everything) is our new ability to travel during the week! This came in very handy this week when we took at 24 hour reprieve from the smoke at the Best Western on Agate Beach. The staff was so incredibly nice and the accommodations very comfortable. The kids spent the afternoon studying, watching the waves and playing with the dogs on the beach for recess. There are cozy corners, power outlets and tables all over the hotel to tuck into, expresso in the morning, and a Walmart right next door for snacks. We had dinner both nights at the restaurant: the food was very good, reasonably priced and the server was kind and excellent. We look forward to visiting again.
Our stay was excellent from check in, hotel staff very friendly and helpful, and check out was simple. Rooms are very well appointed and clean. Will make our stay here an annual event during the summer and fall months.
A few times each year, I go online and find somewhere with a relatively cheap hotel room for what it is, and go there. I didn't go with the cheapest this time, as it was fairly reasonable at this hotel and I wasn't going to pass up going to the coast instead of somewhere in the valley. My expectations were definitely exceeded staying here. It wasn't perfect, but the view and location just about are. I wouldn't have expected a hotel that is across the street from the beach to have this great of a view, but it does. The lighthouse on the cape is the crowning jewel of an already spectacular view. The hotel itself is very nicely remodeled, and you can tell the staff mostly cares here. There were a few things that could have been improved - the sheet on top of the blanket was very ratty, the shower isn't great, and the walls are super thin - but most everything was great. It was laid out nicely, the way the parking area was integrated was smart. The location is great - I especially appreciated that I didn't have to get on 101 to get all the way to Yaquina Bay, and it's right on the state park, which makes for easy access to the beach. Oh, the internet was overloaded a couple times during my stay, and was kicking me off; that could definitely be improved. My biggest issue was losing a few hours of sleep to the neighbors (yelling, hitting things, slamming the door, barking dog, screaming baby, they had it all); the walls are very thin, as mentioned. I thought they were checking out after my second night here, but I wanted to be sure so I went and asked at the front desk. She acted like no one has ever had an issue with noise, and it was the most bizarre question ever asked to find out if the next room was checking out that day. I could have demanded a different room or something, but instead I was trying to not cause any problems and just make sure it was taken care of. Not sure where I went wrong there to get that kind of response. I also got three different times for check-out. One said 11am PST, which we aren't in, so I assume they meant 11am PDT, and then the door in the room said 12pm (I guess that's two times, since it would be the same as 11am PST if I'm thinking correctly). Not sure which is correct, but it got me moving a little faster. Anyway, again, this is a great location with a great view and nice rooms, and I'll stay here again.
Our room was clean, nice and the bed slept great! The bathroom was well stocked with towels and the toiletry items were extra nice. We had a late dinner on arrival day at the Bistro and it was delicious. We ordered breakfast served by room service and it was piping hot and delivered to our room within 25 minutes of ordering,. Nice hotel and I would stay again as well as recommend to others.
stayed at BW agate beach inn 5 nights. very clean, comfortable. newly remodeled and painted, carpet, etc. nice looking place. room s facing the beach had sliding glass doors to allow for seeing the beach and getting fresh air in. tried to sit at a table at eh sea glass lounge to get a drink but waiters need to keep tables open for paying dinner guests. we were asked to move on.
Loved this hotel very close to the beach but requires long walk down to the beachfront.. There were issues with access to the restaurant/lounge for wheelchair but hotel is very accommodating in all respects.
Broken every where you see. Started from the ride front desk with an attitude. Over charged us then when I caught the mess later I called an was put on hold for over 20 min while she fixed it. Glass around fire pit was broken and thrown down on the ground. Glass at the bar fire pit was all black and needed alot of cleaning Sink on the room was broken and epoxy was used on over half of the sink. Wrong color and looked horrible. Toilet dispenser wouldn't hold the tp Internet never worked and cable went out. Big potholes in the middle of the blacktop. Man bridge has a crack in the cement. Sliding door in room never locked. Asked for late checkout and was told not policy then called next day and asked same late checkout and was approved only to be called and questioned why we haven't vacated our room. Bitter experience
I highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are traveling with pets. The beds were very comfortable. We had an ocean view. The ocean was down a slight hill and across the street, but a great hike. I do recommend everyone be extremely careful when parking anywhere on the coast (or anywhere), we averted having our car window smashed and our valuables stolen by my husband returning early and watching the kids run from our car and speed off. Do not ever be complacent when traveling.
The hotel is beautiful and well maintained. It's an excellent value for the price and one of the nicest Best Westerns you'll ever see. I couldn't be more pleased with this hotel! The manager, Joshua, is a sweetheart.
Was on a 14 day motorcycle trip, got caught in some weather and stopped here. Awesome! Very helpful and friendly staff, clean room, great view, good food in the restaurant. In the middle of this Covid-19 mess, this hotel is doing great! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I have stayed in several coastal hotels over the past week, although most were similarly priced, none where as nice as this property!
This was our first trip back to the beach since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 Stay at Home order. We were happy to see that everyone, staff and other guests, were wearing their masks and practicing physical distancing. We were very happy with the staff; they were helpful and friendly. Beach access is great! Rooms are comfy!
Some was smoking on their balcony and the smoke was coming in our room thru open door. Could see cigarettes & lighter on their air conditioner. Called front desk to let them know and they said would check out. Still had intermittent cigarette smoke coming in thru door all night.
This hotel was great! Clean rooms with amazing views. Decently priced. 3 min walk to the beach. Dog friendly. $30 fee/night was reasonable. Both of us people and the dog enjoyed everything. Service was wonderful. (Shoutout to Chris!) Really couldn't ask for more. :)
Stayed here for a business trip. Went to my room to find a sticky and stinky stain on the carpet. Talked to the deck about getting a different room. Was told that for $20.00 I could Be moved to a room with a view. WTF????
Great location and the beach is amazing staff was friendly and polite. With COVID 19. Some amenities were not available but it was still a great stay. Our only complaint was room service no one in our group was really pleased with breakfast. We expected better quality, food was bland and undercooked.
You will not go wrong with this hotel. It is right on the water, with amazing views and easy access to the beach. The restaurant staff was very attentive and the food was delicious. Numerous beers on tap, including a local IPA which was great. Would highly recommend this hotel.
Wasn't the best stay. When we showed up, the lady gave us a room that people were already in. She then told us that she was going to upgrade us to a full ocean view. Our full ocean view was actually a view of trees instead. Every time we went by the front desk to leave the lady would be rude. When you go to Book the rooms, their description says they have free continental breakfast, when I asked the lady about it, she said no they don't have it because they have a restaurant. We also got food from the restaurant, my husband got the clam chowder and it was cold. I got onion rings and it tasted like fish.
This hotel was amazing! The rooms are very clean with plenty of rooms. The location is AMAZING! Its a five minute walk to the beach but that only counts for the walk from the back door to the water because the hotel is right on the beach itself! The price was incredible for a beach side hotel! It was so easy to drive to the places we wanted to visit and the staff were incredibly friendly. Sadly we did not get to try any of the food or beverages as the bar was closed the whole time we were there. The room service we did get was very good! All in all a beautiful hotel, affordable price, with a very friendly and welcoming staff. 100% will stay at this location again!
The view on the Pacific side looking out at the yaquina light house is unmatched. The service considering the current covid-19 situation was good. Our room was not great. The sheets had leftover stains ( looked like chewing gum), the sliding door was inoperable due to what looked like a failing gaurd rail and the room smelled like a fresh baby diaper change. There was either ketchup or blood stain on the window curtain. I'm not sure what the appeal is with the barn doors for the bathroom but it doesn't provide much privacy. Specially when your sharing a room. This trip was a scouting trip for a future weeding so we hope the conditions improve. As far as the price I think they are a little high but considering the view and easy beach access, that is a fair compromise. This trip was discounted because of the scouting trip for a wedding.
First of all I was trying to get away from stress for a night and this experience made it worse . I was checking in and was rudely interrupted by guests behind me and instead of the front desk lady finishing up with me she started conversing with them and I ended up just walking away ( she took forever to come out and help me too and didn't say sorry about that just got right in to asking what I needed help with . My room was 2 something but I thought it meant second floor so it took me forever to find because there isn't a second floor I finally figured out it meant “ lobby “ . Trash in the corner of our room clearly from the people before us . Door locked but unlocked when the handle was pulled down so we had to put a chair in front so my child wouldn't run out the entire time .Not worth the price . I would choose Hallmark resort for an extra $30 anytime . Way nicer balcony there too.
I travel for work so every week is a new place new hotel. This experience was special because my family was with me, so I expected near perfection. Upon my arrival there was an issue with my booking not at all related to the hotel. After management figured out the problem not only did they gladly correct it, they went above and beyond. However, I was no special guest. You could see how the hotel staff from guest service to front desk to room service to house keeping and management treat their guest. Everyone is always greeted with a smile and a warm welcoming willingness to help. It reminded me that customer service in the right places is a love and well. Pool is currently being repaird bummer but the beach is a walk away with incredible views. Walmart is next door literally if you want or need last minute items but we preferred the local scene which has MANY items to choose from. Parks are located up and down the coast and I believe there are 3 within 15 min drive. So location is spot on and central. I was absolutely blown away with this hotel and staff I definitely know where I'll be staying again. Big thanks to joshua!! Any concerns speak with him
The Good: 1. Modern, updated furnishing in the room and lobby (VERY comfortable queen beds) 2. Friendly, helpful staff 3. Great location with a view of the ocean and lighthouse 4. Easy access to Agate Beach from the hotel with a readily available garden hose for rinsing off the beach sand The Bad: 1. Nearly every place to sit in the relatively large lobby had a "reserved" sign on it regardless of being 6 feet apart--not very welcoming if you're looking for a place to hang out with family and friends outside the room. 2. With the heavy emphasis on improved room cleaning and sanitation due to the Covid pandemic, I was surprised when my kid found a few items on the hotel room floor leftover from a previous guest. 3. Odd communication--A hotel representative called before my arrival asking me to call back and confirm my stay. I tried calling back, but couldn't get through so I emailed the front desk with my stay confirmation as well as a few requests that were never again addressed (request for a top floor room and room service menu). 4. The hotel website specifies that this hotel offers room service which I thought about ordering for breakfast, but there is literally nothing in the room or at the front desk with room service information. As mentioned previously, my emailed request for a room service menu went unanswered. In fact, you could easy stay at this hotel and never even know they had a relatively nice looking restaurant on the bottom floor--do they really not want people to eat there?? 5. Both my wife and I are dog people, but if you aren't, you're not going to like this place since there are literally dogs everywhere. The only reason this is under the "bad" is because the people staying in the room next to us left there dog in the room which barked constantly for well over an hour on a Sunday morning. 6. Since we were staying 2 nights, on our way to lunch, I asked the front desk about getting housekeeping service while we were out, but he said they don't offer housekeeping on stayovers--huh? We ended up making our own beds and making multiple trips to ask hotel staff for extra cups, toilet paper, and towels. I can't imagine staying here for longer than 2 nights without housekeeping service. Part of the "fun" of staying at a hotel on vacation is coming back to a restocked, clean room so this is a major negative in my book.
Tucked away from the road a very small distance is the Agate Beach BW. What a great place! The staff were phenomenal and the accommodations were marvelous. Had an unplanned stay but the staff treated me as though I was a long time regular. Jash and Isaac, at the front desk, were great to speak with. Stay, whether for work or pleasure, you will be treated like royalty.
Hotel was clean comfortable very pleasant experience. Especially enjoyed the pool temperature was perfect. Great view excellent location. Friendly staff restaurant has great view. Would recommend as a nice gettaway.
The entire staff is so kind and helpful! Extremely clean and great access to beach. We brought a companion animal and they treated it like a valued guest as much as they did us. By giving him a doggy gift basket/ bowl.
This hotel is very clean and friendly. The pool was wonderful. The room was great and beds were comfortable with lots of pillows. Great view and access to the beach. We will definitely be back. Loved the barista in the lobby.
The tub didn't drain and the bed was not comfortable however I have a very expensive bed at home and I think I'm just not used to regular mattresses. The walk to the beach has a lot of water and is supposed to be emergency access only so it's not family friendly at all. Breakfast girl has an attitude. Front desk was amazing they addressed most of my issues and I did not remember to tell them about my tub not draining.
Welcoming staff, pretty coastal view, great outside amenities. Will stay at again when in town. Hotel is situated on a hill which has great views. Bistro/ restaurant was great. Out of the way packing with security doing rounds. Try it, you won't be disappointed!!
We really enjoy this hotel and it's evening wine reception and nice pool/hot tub. Rooms are clean and comfortable. If you don't like noise, request a room away from the elevators & pet-friendly rooms.
Stayed Valentines Day weekend, clean room, nice view, staff was very friendly. Only issue during our stay was with parking one night due to an event for the holiday. Non guests took up every bit of parking as well as all the fire lane parking. We came back two times to the hotel before finally finding a place to park.
Our daughter requested this property specifically over the Hallmark, our usual getaway when we want to splurge. We came over from the Valley and we were allowed to check in early. The room was okay...once we got in....the key cards didn't work and we had to go back down from 6th floor and carrying bags. Waited in a long line, again. It wasn't fun waiting in line to hear the customer in front of me paying $70 less as they booked on Expedia. They had the same two queen, ocean view room. I mentioned that to staff and no one cares. The bathroom “barn” doors are a joke after the remodel. Absolutely zero privacy. There is minimum 1.25 inch gap between door and walk (peek a boo isn't fun as an adult). Went to the pool and it was extremely busy. The toilet was clogged, there were no paper towels, and the cloth pool towels ran out. We had decided to stay here three times over the past few years when wanting to save a bit over the Hallmark. Honestly we learned our lesson and will stick with clean, private bathrooms, and just accepting a bit more money. If you are going to stay at this property, please do yourself a favor and save $70 booking on Expedia. Sure wish I could have saved that....
The Location is amazing the restaurant is very good and the view of the beach and lighthouse were amazing. Check in was easy and quick as well as checkout and the location right across from agate beach is awesome
Everything about this visit was great. Last minute check-in that was not a bad deal at all. Acceptable price. The room was well kept for the age of this building. Very clean and an amazing view to the ocean. The pool area was very nice. Beach access is just a short walk down, across the road and you are there. The only hiccup was the upper parking lot access bridge security door malfunction. A group of us were stuck outside for a bit while they got someone to open the door. Otherwise, what a great stay.
Whenever we are traveling in the Newport OR area, we always stay here. The recently remodeled hotel is modern and pleasant. We enjoyed the nightly complimentary glass of wine and bar chips in their pretty lobby with a fireplace. The bar attendant was pleasant and friendly. Jessica at the front desk always delivers such personalized great service! We look forward to seeing her when we are there.
We have been staying here for the last four years for a gymnastics meet. Unfortunately this will be our last time staying here. The cleanliness is just not there. Are bathroom was dirty when we checked in. Tooth paste on the walls of the bathroom. Dirty finger prints all over the bathroom door. Used ear Q-tips from the previous guest was left on the counter. Lastly they have mice. My wife heard squeaking in the bathroom while she showered. I told her she was crazy. But then the next day she showed me a picture of a mouse turd on the bath mat. I'm a little disappointed because the staff here is extremely friendly and helpful they deserve 5 stars. But who ever is cleaning the rooms needs some more training.
The room was amazing and had a view of the beach and lighthouse, we were able to check in a few hours early, the bed was confortable, great hotel and friendly staff. The hot tub and pool area was nice.
I have stayed at the Agate Beach Inn on several occasions and it has become my favorite in that area of the Oregon coast. The hotel is situated along the coast, with commanding views of the ocean and ready access to the beach. The hotel is attractive, well maintained, clean and offers all the basic Best Western Plus amenities. Staff are very courteous and friendly. Rooms are very comfortable, many with ocean views. Restaurant/lounge is on site and offers good selection of standard food and bar fare. Abundant parking. Great Internet connectivity throughout the facility. Delightful off lobby sitting area that offers complimentary late afternoon beverages. Rooms are well priced and offer nice value. I will be back again soon!
We have stayed at this hotel a few different times and have loved it! It's clean and quiet and is a great location they have wonderful ocean view room. that are clean and large and the bed and pillows are comfortable as well,. The staff is great the food is awesome and the wine tasting was fantastic There are lots of windows facing the beach so even if you didn't have a room on the ocean side you can still enjoy the view from the window alcove with chairs. Over all this is a very upscale property with beautiful views and friendly service from the staff. by far one of the best accommodations in the area
This hotel ahas bern through a complete redo. It's also part of Best Western's effort to upgrade their brand. Basically it's like checking into a new hotel. Oceanside rooms have a dramatic ocean view. There's direct path to Agate Beach. Restaurant is very good and they have an espresso bar in the mornings
Whenever I take a trip with or without my family I stay at a Best Western. This location is one of my favorites. Beautiful views of the ocean and very easy access to it. Upon checking in we were greeted by a very nice woman working at the front desk. I didn't book an ocean view room, but she very kindly offered me an upgrade to an ocean view and I took it! I can't remember her name but she was very helpful and nice! Despite the overcast sky, the view from my room was gorgeous. The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable (thank you housekeeping for all you do!) I remember staying at this hotel a few years ago and was told there would be remodeling and I love how it all turned out. The lobby looks very nice and welcoming and like I said the rooms look very nice and clean as well. Highly recommend this hotel to anybody staying in Newport!
We love the location and room was great, but this is the second issue with our reservation at this location. Terry in the lounge made you feel like family. Breakfast was reasonable and neverending coffee service.
Beautiful facility with lots of amenities. Nice restaurant overlooking the water. No breakfast provided, but was reasonably priced in restaurant and good quality food. Staff was very pleasant. Room very comfortable and clean.
Excellent staff, updated facilities, beautiful ocean views. Lounge offered great food and service. We enjoyed the wonderful warm pool and a good soak in the hot tub. Close and easy access to the beach.
Best Western Agate Beach is more upscale than other Best Western Hotels and is right on the beach. It is our favorite stop along the Oregon Coast and try to get there at least every few months. The location is perfect and the views are a delight. We especially enjoyed our room during the recent King Tides!
Rooms and hotel have been (well, in the process of) remodeled. We stayed here a few years ago and it was dark, cold, drab. The room and floor we were in this time were bright, warm, and welcoming. We'd recommend staying here.
Hotel manager Josh was great!. Our reservation for a specific floor with other friends did not go as expected but Josh made up for this 4 times over. Hope he continues to be the manager there for a long time. He was most helpful to our party of 5. The hotel rooms on the ocean side upper floors are great.
January is typically stormy. Watching the many moods of the Pacific Ocean and listening to the roar of the waves was fabulous. The check in and out process was quick and professional. The building was clean, the sleep was good, it was quiet and relaxing.
A well-designed and operated hotel, with great access to beautiful Agate Beach. Rooms were a bit small but nicely furnished, many with good views of the ocean and Yaquina Head and its lighthouse in the distance. (We had a "lighthouse view" room, which turned out to have an ocean view but smaller windows; in the future, I'll pay a bit more for a standard ocean view room. But still, the view was great.) The lobby was cozy, and furnished with a small telescope, a chess set, game table, and fireplace, and front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Main trade-off is the location: good beach access, but not walking distance to much else except a Walmart, so a car is required to get to restaurants or shops.
Had a great evening of swimming/hot tubbing and enjoying the atmosphere of this Best Western Plus. Friendly staff, and great decor and amenities. Dog friendly with lots of areas to take the dogs for walks, also great beach access from the back of the facility.
My usual favorite hotel has missed the mark this time. My ocean view room was almost the worst I've had here and they didn't acknowledge my call when I notified them I would be late. When I got there, I had to wait about 15 minutes for staff to come to counter for checkin and when I left, the wait was even longer due to staff lack of knowledge in how to check people in from of me in--her words not mine.
Wonderful hotel that is great for dogs and kids. Easy beach access with stunning ocean views. Great food and drink. Indoor pool and hot tub. Courteous staff that were very helpful. I love that my well-trained dogs were treated so well too!
The view was Phenomenal! For once the bed wasn't too firm and neither were the pillows. Sad there wasn't continental breakfast. All hotels, not just Best Western, need stronger coffee though. I'll still give it thumbs up!
My wife & I stayed 3 nights, had a beautiful view of the ocean from our room. The room was comfortable & very clean, no problems accessing the internet. There's a nice-sized hot tub & pool we enjoyed, & a lounge where we enjoyed a mixed drink rather than drinking somewhere else then driving on the winding roads on the Oregon coast. Prices for the drinks were good, & I would recommend trying some of the bar foods! The staff was great, the atmosphere overall was relaxing. We're going back to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.
This hotel is so nice! The front desk gal was very friendly and helpful. The entire hotel is beautiful and clean. Awesome views! Hot tub and pool area was also very clean! We will be back soon with our kids!
We stayed here several months ago and everything was just as good as the first time. The food was excellent and the staff was very helpful and courteous. We were able to check in early at nnon since we arrived early.
this is a very good Best Western. The location on a beautiful beach was outstanding, We enjoyed running our two dogs there. Our room was clean, welcoming and the beds were very comfortable. We had a spectacular view. The dinner we picked up from the Bistro was excellent. Staff were pleasant and friendly. The hotel is peaceful and quiet. We liked it very much and would go back and stay longer.
My son and I stayed for Thanksgiving and ate Thanksgiving dinner in the restaurant which was excellent. The hotel was clean, updated and well maintained. When we checked in the front desk person let my son pick a toy out of their toy chest, which he was thrilled about. Then she told me about a cool hands-on science museum I didn't know about that we ended up going to as well, and we really enjoyed because of her suggestion. Beautiful views, easy access to walk to the beach and close to town. We also finished each day swimming in the pool and slept great. We will be back.
We wound up staying here 2 nights in a row & Melissa at the front desk was beyond amazing!!! She was super nice, professional, friendly, & shortly after we got to our room, she called us to make sure everything was good for us, BOTH nights. We have 2 dogs & had booked at the last minute & she helped us out so much. Major kudos & a huge thank you to Melissa for being so great! If you're lucky enough to have her at the front desk when you get there, you won't be disappointed!!!
We had a wonderful stay. Our room was spacious, comfortable beds, lots of pillows. It had a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. All are essential with a baby. The lobby has games, puzzles, comfortable seating. The pool was a decent size and perfectly warm. Lots of clean towels. There's access to the beach down a short paved trail. Outside they have a gas fire pit. The service from the women working at night was what stands out the most. I didn't catch her name, but she was great. She made us feel so welcome. We didn't eat at the restaurant. Maybe next time.
Traveling with 6 month old puppy. This was a fantastic location with special pet rooms and toys on arrival. They have a restaurant on site and a service that allows you to leave your pet alone in the room while you eat. The food was great and they gave us ice cream for our dog .
We really enjoyed our stay at this understated, but lovely hotel. When you arrive at this hotel you cannot see the beach, but when we entered our room....WOW! Spectacular! Everyone we encountered was friendly and professional. The restaurant was decent - good menu selections and a nice setting. We wish that we had planned a longer stay, but just happened upon Newport in our Oregon travels.
The room over looked a beautiful ocean view and the price was very reasonable as well. Couldn't be happier with it. 5 stars hands down. The restaurant had a very classy atmosphere and the food was excellent!
We stayed here with our little pup and we're blown away by the kindness, professionalism and hospitality. Everyone had a smile on and was so welcoming! It was so sweet too, we received a bowl, treats and a ball for our pup from the hotel, never had we experienced that before and we loved it!! Thank you to all the staff whom made this trip so special! Will be back and highly recommend!
This is a great hotel. The rooms are freshly remodeled and very clean. The staff is very accommodating and eager to help. The restaurant is upscale with many tasty options. We can't wait for our next visit!!
This hotel is very nice and clean! We have a beautiful ocean view out our window. The staff is very friendly. The only negative is the fact that they do not have breakfast included. I would stay here again for sure!
Good for family. Has pool good for kids. Last year it was closed. Smell like bleach. Pool warm. Room real cold. Hope they fix that...soon we will back to check it out. Good restraunt if you have a good waiter like we did.
Overall not really good. Room service never answered the phone for 3 days. When microwave was on the TV shut off. When making coffee the TV would come on and off. Not very safe. Demanding that I write for 200 characters is also a little over the top.
This is a beautiful Inn. We had an ocean view. The room was comfortable, clean with a huge sliding door with a small balcony. The view is expansive. The desk service was pleasant, helpful and speedy. The breakfast was top notch. No complaints on this Inn whatsoever.
Thank you to the staff at Best Western Plus, Agate Beach. We had a perfect experience...even after leaving my laptop behind in our room. Thank you for your honesty and the above and beyond service to promptly return it to me after realizing what I had done. We highly recommend this great place...no need to leave once you arrive. They have it all❣️
The hotel was remodeled a few years ago but it looks like it was remodeled a few months ago. Lovely beach colors without being overly beachy in decor. The lobby is a comfortable gathering place. There are chairs on each floor's elevator lobby with great ocean views. The rooms are large and well appointed. The restaurant faces the ocean and there are outside dining tables, some with fire pits. The onsite restaurant service has nice menu with friendly service.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay. I think this facility needs a larger hot water supply for ALL the rooms. When everyone is taking a shower in the morning. Water temperature drops dramatically. I left my motorhome generator running. Management and staff were gracious enough to tactfully ask me to eliminate the noise because it was disturbing the other guests. They were all very professional in the way they handle the situation. You've got a good crew there.
I like this place cuz it was kind of out of the way of the mainstream at the north end of town. Nicely appointed rooms, nothing fancy, with a nice view of the beach. A short walk from your hotel you could be on the beach. Nothing spectacular but worth a stay. If you're just interested in the place to crash this much cheaper places but if you'd like a little view for about double the price of an inland Motel then this one will suffice
My daughter and I wanted to stay on the coast and while I was a little skeptical about Best Western Plus, I must say we were delighted with our stay and the amenities! First, when I reserved the room, I requested the top floor with and ocean view. The hotel responded quickly to confirm and ask if I had any other requests. Check-in was easy, parking was convenient (skybridge to the 6th floor) and our room was exactly as we expected with a balcony view of the ocean. The beds were very comfortable with high quality bedding and pillows. The room had many conveniences including a small fridge, coffee maker and even a microwave. We went to the Sea Glass Bistro and Lounge on the ground level and had a very nice dinner. We could have walked easily to the beach, but it rained most of the time we were there. Would recommend this clean, convenient property to any travelers wanting an upscale experience for a reasonable price!
Looks plush and fancy, but there is no free breakfast and the onsite restaurant is expensive and has quite a limited menu. Only 14 "close" parking spaces -- the rest are in an elevated lot and you have to access via a 6th floor skyway walking bridge that isn't enclosed or covered. Their wi-fi would not connect to my Windows 10 laptop, despite being put on the phone with a tech expert. The bathroom door is the sliding barn door type -- doesn't disguise the fact that the bathroom and bathroom doorway are quite small, and the door was very difficult to open and close from inside the bathroom without breaking a fingernail or two. I personally didn't use any of the "extra" features in the hotel, but I can definitely say I would never book a room here again.
While staying here I would be very unsure about recommending staying here with the problems I had. Lack of internet service , Mattress felt like your were falling on the floor when you tried to lay down. Phone would only let you call front desk.
Very nice hotel overall. We had one sunny day so we spent it on the beach. Hotel has great beach access, wonderful swimming pool and hot tub, a nice restaurant and lounge as well. Besides a noisy toilet we didn't really have too many complaints.
Great property. I had no need to go to tow n to eat or explore. You are right on the beach and the food is excellent. Try the clam chowder! The bed was fantastic. Many of my fellow conference attendees commented on the quality of the bed. Internet was great Staff (Front Desk, Housekeeping, Engineering, Restaurant, Room Service and Conference/Banquet were all superb.
Booked a seaview room this October. The rates were rather high for the fall season. The maid did a terrible job in cleaning and making the bed. Picture enclosed of my bed. Very bad service for the price I paid. Plus in the afternoon someone tried to brake into my room. Thank god that I had the dead bolt on
We stayed here two nights and enjoyed the property very much! It felt like a charming boutique hotel. Our view of the ocean and lighthouse was lovely! Enjoyed the walk to the beach and watching the sunset. The hotel grounds were very nice, including a fun firepit area. Great wine tasting from 5 to 6. We enjoyed breakfast and lovely view from restaurant. Very friendly staff! We hope to be back one day! There is much to do nearby.
We are Best Western Rewards members so we frequently pick BW when we travel. We've traveled the coast for many years and never stopped in at this particular hotel. Truth is, we probably won't come back. Don't get me wrong, the rooms are nicely appointed and clean, with a nice size tv, and everything we need, but.......We thought it was weird to have to park as they put it, down the street, turn left, go up the hill, and park in the parking lost up there, then walk across a sky bridge, take the elevator to your room. Our room number was 222. So naturally we get in the elevator and look for floor 2. Nope, there is no floor 2. I'm not kidding, no floor 2. So we are perplexed, other hotel patrons trying to help us are perplexed. Finally after a while of trying different floors we find floor 2, you guessed it, the lobby lever, what? Ok, so we finally find our room. Ocean view, not far from the pool, and fitness room. Fitness room is pretty lacking. The so called view is a view of sorts. Your view is form across a road and then a street. You can't even hear the waves with your door open. The balcony is just large enough to stand on but that's it. Not large enough to sit outside and enjoy the waves (that is, if you could hear them). We ate at the restaurant and I went into the bar also to check it out. It was crazy crowded with one bartender, one server, and someone else more like a hostess. They were slow to say the least, because of the crowd. The bartender was obviously frustrated so I asked her what was going on. She said it's hard to get help because of the cost of housing in Newport. True about the cost, the reason why? I'll never really know. I was so disappointed I called around to a couple of my favorites to see if they had openings. I changed my mind after they all quoted me outrageous prices for a last minute stay. I'll just chalk this one up to a learning experience. I do need to make mention of the fact that the dinner was good. My wife had the filet mignon and it was really good. I had a salad and it was good, just a little light on the chicken. I'll try to post a couple of pics so that you know what you're getting with your ocean view.
Wonderful service and staff! Dinner and breakfast the next morning were delicious! Don't miss the wine reception in the lobby from 5:00 - 6:00 PM! Beautiful location with a short walk to the beach and ocean.
If you want to see the ocean, walk to the beach and play, go swimming in a sparkling pool , run down and pick up some M&M;S, or just lounge in your super comfy clean bed with lots of pillows. and be able to Bring your pet too...and get ready for a wonderful meal delivered right to your room with cloth napkins...THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.
Excellent hotel and stay but avoid breakfast. It's way too expensive and not very good at all. The hotel room and location are great and I would highly recommend staying here and ask for a room on a high floor for a great view. Very dog friendly as well. Indoor pool.
The property is nicely situated near the beach, with a convenient access path. We had an ocean-front room on the third floor. There is a very narrow balcony - much too narrow to utilize for anything but standing and looking out. The room walls are relatively thin, so little privacy (we always bring earplugs, fortunately). Very overpriced room (we stayed in late September). The facility itself is very lovely, with nice decor and many cozy areas to sit and lounge. The fun, oversized games scattered throughout were a nice touch!
Beautiful ocean views! Perfect beach for walking and excellent proximity to Newport. My organization holds an annual conference here and I always look forward to staying at the hotel. It creates a great space for camaraderie.
We stopped in at the hotel with out having a reservation. We were fortunate enough to grab their last ocean front room. The room was wonderful and the staff, views, food and complementary wine were more than we anticipated. It is truly a beautiful property and the design and amenities were well-thought-out. We would definitely stay there again.
An excellent beautiful hotel with a very professional staff. We arrived before 9 a.m. in Sept. and we were able to obtain a room at that time. What a plus this was for us as we were able to drop off our belongings and headed out to enjoy many activities in the area. We will definitely be back!!! Betty G.
This is a very nice property. The decor and pool are first rate. We were surprised that no breakfast was offered but we found a great place off the property. This is an upscale place and very comfortable. The views of the ocean are amazing and there are chairs that you can sit inside the hotel and view the waves. It is fairly close to the beach and very walk-able. The one downside besides breakfast is that the sky bridge is not covered so if it is raining, you get very wet.
Celebrating an Anniversary, our request for a delightful room was accommodated a great check-in experience and we enjoyed the wonderful room. HOWEVER, we dined at the restaurant for breakfast and food/service was NOT good - my husband became severely ill afterward. Told Front Desk at check out, wrote an urgent email that day & left a detailed message for F&B who did not return my call. I received an apology but quite surprised the breakfast was not removed from the bill after such an incident.
I grew up in Newport and actually remember when this hotel was built. I've attended a few functions here throughout the years, but this was my first overnight visit. The room we stayed in on the 6th floor was excellent. The beds were comfy and we had plenty of room. I think hotels built 30+ years ago have wider rooms which is awesome. Best Western has done a great job of keeping the property in A+ shape. We ate breakfast in the Sea Glass Bistro; the food was delicious.We didn't take advantage of the pool and hot tub this trip, but we will definitely be back. As a matter of fact, I already have a reservation for next month!
Definitely will return when in the area. Great decor, rooms, access, parking, location, amenities and staff. Wine tasting daily was a plus. The bar and restaurant compared with others in the area. Views of the beach are everywhere. The Fire Pit or the Bar Fireplace is warm and cozy.
This establishment is right on the beach! It is a great value for a great hotel. They are friendly, professional and just happy to see one show up! The place is clean and well appointed. They are dog friendly and really live it. The restuarant is outstanding. Great place at a great value!
The views of the ocean are breathless. The rooms are impeccable. The hotel art and public areas are five star. The staff gives white glove service. The landscaping is outstanding. It is quiet and serene. They have an outdoor fire pit with a view of state beach.
This establishment has really got its act togther. The place is clean, friendly, Professional and right on the beach! Absolutely Pet friendly! Complete with a pet gift bag! The restuarant isabsolutely to die for!
Lovely hotel, staff very friendly and accomodating. The espresso service in the morning and wine in the evening was a very nice service. The room was very clean. Each floor had a huge picture window with seating to sit and admire the veiw of the beach. The overflow parking was well lit with a walkway over to the building. Our puppy was greeted with kindness.
Room was clean, pretty, roomy enough to be "good" for son! lol Grandson enjoyed going everywhere from the pool to elevator to entry & lay on the round foot stools & have cookies & yogurt there. (he's 4 at the time) We will go here again!
We were looking for a hotel near Newport with a good view. The rooms on the beach side have a great view of the huge beach and the water. The room was very comfortable and it was less than a 10 minute drive to the waterfront in Newport. The beach is right out the back door of the hotel. The front desk staff was very pleasant.
A great location, the beach just a short walk and what an enormous one too. The restaurant we found very good along with an excellent service, our server was "wasia", nothing was to much trouble. We used the "Rookie`s sports bar where we found the staff very friendly found a little time to chat and give advise on the local area.
We loved the location in Newport. Close to town and all that it has to offer. And at the same time right by a beautiful huge beach! Very family friendly and we really appreciated the fact that there was a restaurant on site.
We loved this hotel and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Clean facilities, great service, beautiful view, easy access to the beach. We enjoyed breakfast at the Sea Glass Bistro. I only wish I had had more than one night to enjoy all the amenities.
My husband use to travel 3 weeks out of the month & stayed at best western 90% of the time & I would visit with him. This was the nicest & most friendly one we've stayed at. Our room was dog friendly & you would never know it. It even had carpet in it.
The lady who checked us in didn't tell us a thing about the place, not even where our room was located. Usually, you get the whole speel like pool location and hours as well as restaurant location and hours. Let alone that it's a non- smoking hotel. We got our key card for our room, opened the room to find it was being occupied! Luckily we saw no nudity! Lucky for them we weren't thieves. This was a first for us! Couldn't open our sliding door to the ocean due to someone smoking. It would fill our room pretty bad. I didn't want to complain but it kept happening. Housekeeping quickly checked into it. Not the hotel's fault just inconsiderate people breaking the rules. The rooms were clean, the bed had nice pillows. Nice lemony soap and lotion. Walls were thin, we heard lots of going on. The restaurant was neat! Fire pits at some tables, food was a bit pricey, $35 for mac n cheese with crab on it, I'm sure it was good but that's a nutty price. Maybe it's summer prices. There were some kids that the parents let run wild, running up and down the hallways at 10 pm. Crossing the street back and forth alone and yelling for each other. The parents paid no attention as they were playing with the telescope. I would stay again but maybe in the offseason.
We stayed here since it was a best western. The place was cute and the staff very friendly. We enjoyed the wine tasting from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm each night. A very nice touch! My only wish is that you could actually sit out on the decks, which are very small. We would stay here again.
Not only does this hotel have an excellent location, is well-appointed, and is well-staffed the ocean-side rooms are airy and provide wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Each of the six sunsets we viewed were different but all were awe-inspiring. Our parting question from every accommodation is always, Will we return? The answer here was a firm "yes". We are, in fact, already looking ahead to 2020. The room furnishings were comfortable and practical. Even the wall decorations were pleasing. We're readers so we never tried the TV and if we have one minor complaint it would be that the reading lights left something to be desired. We compensated by providing our own. We're used to this shortcoming in many hotels. Apparently most travelers prefer television for entertainment. it's a pet-friendly property and though we left our dogs at home this time, there were plenty of furry friends to pet. There is easy access to the beach plus a skyway on the sixth floor to one of the parking lots and more pet area.
Birthday celebration for my husband. Hotel remodel was done and rooms are very stylish and comfortable. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom space a bit small but worked. Loved the extra counter space. It would have helped if the sink was placed at least 6” to the left - to give space to who was sitting down. There was a balcony-if you call 6” a balcony. They talked about beach front-yes but there is a road to cross and a BIG beach to cross to get to the ocean. Bring you binoculars. Check in staff very friendly. Check out-not very helpful.
I never have trouble while staying at a Best Western, It is the only place I stay when I travel if there is one in town. Our Agate Beach stay was typicial of BW. The staff is so polite and courtious. The building grounds are well maintained. Registration is fast and easy. Rooms are clean and upscale. This inn has an attached resturant. We only had breakfast, which was good but the dinner menu was intising but we had to visit our favorite place while in Newport.
This was quick overnight stay with friends. Found the hotel to be clean, a perfect location for a quick sleep, dinner, and visits with friends. Can't beat the ocean view for a wonderful, beautiful sunset. Note: Cell service was poor to spotty so had to use wifi calling.
Booked this hotel last minute and we were lucky to have an ocean view room. The front counter staff are friendly. The inside of the building is clean and room is very clean. Our room is next door to the swimming pool. The pool hour is until midnight. I could hear door opening and closing until about 11 PM. If you are light sleeper, avoid this room. The hotel is across street from a beach. It took sometime to walk from the road side to the water but the beach is very quiet which I like. I thought breakfast is best western standard but I was wrong. Will pay attention when booking next time. Overall it is a nice stay but considering there are so many families visiting, an arrival snack or breakfast will be a nice touch.
Our ocean view room was very clean. We were very disappointed there was not a balcony. That would have been perfect. There was no breakfast offered,but there was a discount for the restaurant on site which served a very nice breakfast. There was a wine reception from 5:00-6:00. We tasted several wines from a local winery. Very pleasant hour.
CLEAN ,extremely comfortable , view location... NO free breakfast included... Nice swimming pool.would be a 5 star rating IF they included a breakfast credit or discount. The lighthouse view was overshadowed by 3 WHALES swimming by,
The remodeling turned this hotel from just okay to good. Unfortunately, the remodel did not include insulating the interior walls. Normal conversations can be heard in the next room. The doors slam with a vengeance. Do not expect a free breakfast that is provided st 95% of BW properties.
We always stay at Best Western hotels for their hospitality and for allowing pets. We can't travel without our old dog by our side and we never have an issue when he's there. He's a big boy at 75lbs but everyone loved him and treated us well. We enjoyed the lounge every day, the indoor pool and hot tub and my favorite: the fire pit overlooking the ocean. It was such a beautiful view. The hotel has it's own beach access and we enjoyed many walks on the beach because of it. It was our first time at this particular Best Western and I would definitely stay there again.
The Agate Beach Inn is located on a bluff overlooking Agate Beach with half the rooms with a sunset view across the beach, with historic Yaquina Head lighthouse to the NW. Recently renovated, the hotel has a full-service restaurant (indoor and patio seating) and is immaculate and well-maintained by friendly staff. Access to the beach is down a gentle hill about 300 yards without crossing any major roads. The beach is very flat and safe for kids. Will definitely stay here in the future.
The hotel appeared recently updated. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff not good at keeping coffee available in the morning. Restaurant staff was cordial but not attentive, service was extremely slow, and food did not match the high pricing.
We checked in as a family of three after arriving from another hotel we booked on line. That one was a huge disappointment and we were very fortunate to find accomodations at the Agate Beach Inn. Amy at the front desk found us a very nice room on the 6th floor- highest floor - away from the elevators. It had all the amenities and was all we expected. A short walk - 10 minutes - from our room to the beach. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant. The lobby has good coffee available all day and nie views of the Pacific. There is plenty of parking and it is located minutes from all the 'must sees' in the Newport area. This hotel is a very good value for the money and ALL the staff we interacted with were helpful, friendly, and seemed to take a great deal of pride in the work they do, the hotel guests, and their employer. If going to Newport in the future, YES, we will stay at this property again if the rates remian as they are now in August 2019. My only complaint if one needs to be mentioned is that our room was not made up until later in the day,, around 4 PM. Minor inconvenience.
I can recommend this hotel. Friendly staff, perfect location for the beaches, restaurant and bar area are clean, complimentary wine hour is a great opportunity to chat with other guests. Short taxi ride to local food for dinner.
We stayed 2 nights on vacation. Check in was a problem even though we are Diamond Elite members. We had requested 1pm check-in, our room not ready until after 4pm. Unfriendly and incompetent front desk. Lots of excuses. The restaurant was good and reasonably priced. The facility and grounds were recently remodeled and attractive. Too bad the service didn't match. They put us in a pet room and refused to change, we did not want a pet room. We were awakened by barking dogs and pet noise. The carpet had suspicious brown spots on it. Strong deodorant smell.
Excellent hotel. Clean, fresh and new looking. We thought it a bit pricey, when we made the reservation, but upon arrival, we loved the location, view and amenities at the hotel. Restaurant and food were only OK. We would go elsewhere to eat next time.
About 100 family members from across the country gathered at the Agate Beach Inn for 4 nights. Our time together could not have been better. From the conference room we had access to 24/7 to the convenient restaurant, to the beautiful view from the room, to wine tasting each evening,to the extremely friendly/helpful staff--our stay could not have been better. Our stay this second time was even better than the first and we will gather at Agate Beach Inn for our next reunion too!
overwhelmed and untrained front desk, waitstaff and housekeeping, plumbing and soundproofing sketchy, no complementary breakfast which was quite expensive. Pluses were the view, access to a beautiful beach, outdoor seating area. Hope they get some of the glitches fixed. Beautiful site!
We've returned here a few times. Attentive staff. Thoughtful upgrades (morning coffee; wine and cheese reception in the evenings; cucumber water all day). We didn't quite make it to the (new) salt pool. Nor did we make it to the gym. But both looked inviting. Clean, pretty, spacious room.
We have stayed at this hotel before the updates. I have to say since the remodel this is one stop shop in my mind. Access to the beach, pool, lounge view of the lighthouse and more. They even have a treasure chest for younger kids to pick out a prize. They have games available all over the hotel. They offer beach blankets as well. They have a new fire pit complete with chairs and marshmallow roastingng sticks. The only thing is I wish they have locks on the bathroom doors in the bedrooms. We will come back again!!
Stayed here two nights on our Oregon vacation. Room was nice and clean. Liked the decor of room and hotel overall. Set up is kind of different with parking on hill and entering on the 6th floor...but can be helped much since it's built on a hill. Views are beautiful. It can be a hike to the beach...and from the start of the beach to the water. But it's great once you get there! The patio area is nice in the morning or evening to watch the sunset. We enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful property steps from the beach pier and the usual Best Western high quality in rooms in service. Great outdoor patio with to fire pits. The rooms were nice super clean as always. Restaurant was great
We spent a night at this beautiful hotel during a recent coast road trip, and out of 5 hotels this was by far our favorite! The property is gorgeous, the rooms are divine, and the staff is incredibly friendly. We had our dog with us, so we were expecting to get stuck in a crappy room (this is common in many hotels), but instead we were given a lovely room on the 6th floor with a partial ocean view! It was a quick walk over the Skywalk to get to a pet area, which was much appreciated! Our dog was also allowed to come to the evening wine social in the lobby (which was GREAT - we met a lot of fellow travelers and had a blast), as well as the patio of the bistro/lounge (we ate an AMAZING dinner there and watched the sunset). Best of all is the easy access to the beach...and Agate Beach is the best! Really, there are so many little touches at this hotel, all of which add up to making your stay a great one. We wish we'd booked more than one night here...you can bet we'll be back next summer for a MUCH longer stay!
This is a fantastic inn! It has beautiful views of the beach and let me say that beach sunsets are beautiful! The room we stayed in is a room without the beach view from the room. The room pivoted here was very clean and extremely well kept. The beds are very high quality and comfortable. The inn offers a workout room, swimming pool, and many other amenities! Well worth the price charged!!!
Hotel was very clean and the view of the ocean was absolutely beautiful. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. The out door seating area was absolutely amazing during the evening. I would definitely recommend this hotel for future travelers!
We traveled from San Diego to Vancouver. We stayed at 4 Best Westerns. This by far was the BEST!! It exceeded my expectations. 2 of the other BW did not live up to the photos...this one absolutely did
I stayed 4 days at the Best Western Plus in Agate Beach for a work conference. It was lovely. The rooms were beautifully updated. The amenities were fantastic. The whole hotel was very family oriented with great games in the lobby, a fire pit outside, the pool/spa. Even my kids had a great time while I was in class all day.
We always choose the Agate beach best western because it is centrally located on the coast, we can go explore and not have to drive too far. This hotel has modern decorations, the rooms are very clean and the ocean view is lovely.
My husband,and I visited this hotel for the first timefor our annual vacation. I'm so glad we chose this hotel!Wonderful view of the ocean, really clean rooms,nice pool great location, and great customer service! We were having such a good time, we extended our stay from 3 nights to 5! Definitely will stay there again!
This was our second stay here. Although the hotel does not sit directly on the beach the view is very lovely. The rooms have balconies that you can actually stand out on but are very short and too small for a chair. It is outside of town and not walkable to shops and restaurants but there is a restaurant and a sports bar which serves food and in effect is a more casual restaurant both on site. The building is exceptioally clean and the staff is top notch.
Get ocean view- just perfect, room service was really good to watch sunset - was our best stop on Oregon PCH trip - parking was a little difficult but manageable- great access to the beach - we stayed two nights of our 10 day road trip to Oregon coastline- would recommend this location for sure
This Best Western really is a step above most BW properties. Spacious, quiet rooms, lovely ocean views, if you choose a room with a view, and a restaurant/lounge on site, if you don't want to go out off the property to eat. Free breakfast is not included, but the restaurant has a daily breakfast special (different each day) for $5 that is really delicious, in addition to a menu of other items for every meal. We were in the middle of a trip down the Oregon coast. We were told that Mo's clam chowder is the best, but I think I had the best cup of clam chowder of our trip right there in the restaurant at Best Western Agate Beach Inn! We were there for a conference. If you're looking for a place along the Oregon coast to hold a conference, this is an excellent choice!
We reserved this hotel while on the road driving south. Since we had been staying in several BW Plus Hotels we knew the hotel would be what we were looking for. The hotel was much larger than we expected but it was beautiful. We didn't have an ocean view but our room was perfect. Slept well as the hotel was very quiet. We only wished the breakfast was included like other BW Plus' has been.
This hotel has the most amazing location, right across from Agate beach. The rooms and hotel have all had a beautiful renovation, it is very modern, clean and comfortable. I loved the bed, I slept very well here. If you can do it, get an ocean view room, the view is amazing. They have a nice pool and hot tub, and what I liked most about it, is that from 10pm until midnight it is adults only! I did use the hot tub one night. The only thing that stopped me from giving this 5 stars is that it is the only Best Western I have ever stayed at that does not include breakfast of some sort. They did have an option in the restaurant downstairs for a $5 option, but it was one item per day for that price, one day was Denver omelettes. I don't eat peppers or onions so we didn't go there for breakfast.
I stayed here for a conference. The entire stay was very nice. Their catered meals were delicious. The room was great. Beach access was good. Family activities were plentiful. My family enjoyed their time and activities in the area while I was in "class." I'll do it again.
When visiting Newport, you must stay at Agate Beach Inn and be sure to request an ocean view. Hotel is friendly, clean, has nice amenities and onsite restaurant, and is a very short walk to the beautiful beach!
This hotel had great amenities, complimentary wine hour, room service, full restaurant, corn hole, beach blankets..and more. Great location close to everything, newly renovated. Spacious rooms. Pleasantly surprised and made our vacation even more enjoyable.
I was very comfortable at Best Western Agate Beach for a one week conference. The staff was very friendly and easy to work with. Accomidations were good, my family enjoyed the pool. The restaurant is very nice, good quality food.
The renovations and updates are great! this is a very clean, well-maintained property. Excellent service at front desk & restaurant/bar. Great food/bar. Compl. wine tasting 5-6p. Lobby games to share. Super Pet-friendly features.. Great indoor & outdoor spaces. Above average rooms, great views, but avoid the lighthouse view, corner room w/half window. Otherwise, no complaints would def. go back and stay longer.
I love staying at this hotel. Can't do it to often since the room rates are $200.00 plus tax per night and that price does not include breakfast. It has an excellent location. If you get a seaview room at an extra cost. You can look out to the beach and the lighthouse. Also a beautiful sunset
BW across from Agate Beach couldn't be easier to get to. Now crowds and great long beach for walking or combing for agates,shells and kite flying. Walking to Nye Beach is easy and a nice walk to shops and retaurants. Can't wait to come back.
We love this Best Western at Agate beach. We often travel with our 2 dogs and they are so dog friendly. If you stay on the 6th floor, there is a sky walk from there to an upper parking lot and places to walk dogs. They have 2 other dog areas as well, one with lots of green grass for fetch and they provide doggie bags and garbage cans to make it all so easy! The front desk folks are super friendly and accommodating. Check it out!!
We have stayed at the coast before, but never really were aware of the Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn. Now we are and are very impressed with what we saw and experienced. The place is beautiful and the location is great. View from our room of the beach was something to see.
Husband and I stayed 2 nights in June. We had a room on the 5th floor, facing the ocean. You can only stand on the balcony as it is only about a foot wide, but, it was nice to appreciate the view, take pictures and get fresh air. My only complaint about this Best Western is, I'm used to a free breakfast, with multiple choices. This hotel has a bistro. They have a $5:00 breakfast for guests. The first morning was bacon pancakes, which I had. The second morning were breakfast burritos. As I can't eat eggs without having medical issues, I could not partake.
I reserved an ocean view room, it wasn't the most expensive available but there were cheaper hillside rooms available. I showed up and was given a hillside room. I was offered the option to upgrade to an ocean view room at an additional expense. I chose not to due to the high cost. Was never offered any compensation for the additional expense I paid for an ocean view room.
We stayed further from the Marathon and we're so glad that we did. The hotel is right on the beach and is so relaxing. The decor is pretty and everything was in great shape. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay here again.
We had a wonderful room with king bed, microwave, and refrigerator. There was a small balcony ( room for standing only) with a great view of the beach. It was only a short walk down the hill to the beach and there was a hose for rinsing your feet when you return. Breakfast was $5, with only one meal choice available, so we decided to eat elsewhere.
Recently had an opportunity to stay at the Best Western at agate Beach, the staff was amazing very helpful food in the lounge and the dining area was excellent great value and delicious. The hotel itself was very charming from the fireplace in the lobby to the dining room. The view of the ocean espectacular. The cleanliness of the room and the appointments in the room were comfortable and attractive.
Comfortable, clean space and great value! Short walk to the beach Pet friendly. My only issue was the screen door didn't lock so it wasn't safe for my little dog to keep the balcony door open. I felt very safe traveling alone and getting in late.
This hotel offers incredible beach access and clean, updated decor. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly from the moment you walk in the door. They allow dogs to be alone in the room while their owners enjoy the hotel amenities (pool, fitness room, and restaurant). There are three convenient outdoor dog areas complete with a paw-washing station. We will definitely be going back!
We loved our stay at this hotel! The beachfront access is wonderful! The beach is large and has soft sand. This hotel has been renovated in the last year or so and the rooms are beautiful. The colors and decor were very nice. Our check in process was done by a manager, Judy, who was very kind and welcoming. She let our kids pick out a small toy from the toy chest in the lobby. And she was very thoughtful in selecting a room that made it easy to access the parking lot via the skybridge. We were very comfortable in our room, the bathroom was nice and the shower had good water pressure. Our family is already planning on coming back and staying here soon!
Enjoyed our stay in Newport OR to celebrate our anniversary. The hotel was very nice. Has restaurant and bar lounge. The view is looking at the ocean. Can walk to the ocean from the hotel. It is a nice experience
The renovation they did to their hotel is very nice and modern. They are a pet friendly hotel and have the nicest goodies at check in for your pet. Everyone I met in the restaurant and front desk was friendly and helpful. Get an oceanview room, it is worth it. The sunsets are beautiful. They have screen doors on their patio doors so I slept with my patio door open every night to fall asleep to the ocean waves crashing. They serve really good food, my favorite was halibut fish and chips. I was here for a conference and I had a really good time. I hope to be able to return to this hotel again with my family and dog in the near future.
The hotel itself is very nice, well renovated and has comfortable beds. The real prize though is the view of the ocean! From our room on the 5th floor, the view was nothing short of amazing. There is a restaurant on site, but other choices would likely have to be driven to, there's not a lot within walking distance. Maybe just get takeout and sit upstairs and watch the waves roll in.
We really enjoyed our stay, our room was beautiful with a gorgeous view, tons of hot water, so clean and tidy. Decor was very nice and new. Balcony to watch the sun set, beach access for walks. Restaurant was amazing, conference rooms were comfortable and chairs were soft and squishy.
What an enjoyable stay we had. The best Best Western we have stayed at. They are very accommodating, pet friendly, giving you a little doggie bag of treats! That's class! Great rooms, restraunt, pool, hot tub, they really have it all.
My organization uses this hotel on a regular basis for large meetings and it is always accomodating with prices, service and has an ideal location. Always clean and upgraded furnishings. The only problem is the location of ADA rooms, should be closer to the lobby to reduce difficult walking the long hallways.
Floor to ceiling windows in our room with a front and center view of the coast. AMAZING indoor pool and hot tub. Very clean and modern and I'm picky. All at a great price. We will definitely be back!!
Nicely renovated, clean, comfortable beds and an awesome view of the Oregon Coast. Very personable and caring staff. Great place for a family getaway or a business meeting/conference. Good onsite restaurant. Close to shopping.
We have a seminar every year at this hotel. The newly remodeled rooms and lounge area really have made this a great place to stay. Good ocean view and beach access. It was a nice place before remodeling, but is now much improved.
This facility is beautiful, clean and has the most pleasant atmosphere. Huge shout out to the friendly, helpful staff. We will definitely be back. Great food at the Sea Glass Lounge as well. Thank you Best Western!
This hotel is updated with a soft seaside decor, great rooms, great view of the ocean (if booked that way) and best of all is pet friendly. Truman even got his own goodie bag and the rooms provide a "pet sheet" to cover the bed if your dog sleeps with you. The staff are very accommodating and the on-site restaurant has the BEST crab bisque chowder we have ever had. the staff gave us other recommendations for other great eating places so we dined on seafood the entire visit. there is an onsite swimming pool and workout facility. Rooms are clean and there is lots of parking. Would we stay again? Absolutely!!
Absolutely love this place we've become quite obsessed with checking out all Best Westerns, because they allow your entire family to come and that means yes your dogs. This might be one of my favorite so far yet. Definitely get a view facing the ocean it's captivating and you get to look at the Lighthouse.
As we drove up the hill to the hotel I was impressed by the landscape and exterior of the hotel. Looked much nicer than most BW hotels (which are nice enough). The reception area and check in are very nice, welcoming. Our room was comfortable, we asked for extra pillows and blankets and they were there when we arrived. We are elite members and were upgraded to a premium view without asking. Amazing ocean view, walking distance to the beach, friendly staff. We will definitely stay here again.
A beautiful setting with fantastic views of the ocean. A modern facility with clean and comfortable room and facilities. Room was spacious and nicely appointed. The staff were friendly and professional.
My son and I stayed at this hotel on a spring break outing. We traveled from Palm Springs to Lincoln City staying at hotels along the way. By far, Best Western Agate Beach Inn in Newport was our favorite. The view was spectacular, the room clean, new fixtures, fresh paint and quiet. We will totally be returning to this hotel in our future trips to the coast.
Great view of the beach from our room. Nice short walk to the dunes. Restaurant has great food and great view to. Pool & hot tub kept clean. Beds were fantastically comfortable and plenty of pillows. Go
The hotel is beautiful and offers great views. The parking is limited close to the hotel but the is a sky bridge to the parking area for convenience. I really thought for the price there would be complimentary breakfast but there is not. Everything else was definately 5 Star rating though.
I ordered a $30 halibut dinner, fish tasted okay. but my sides, rice pilaf and broccolini tasted like butane. I tried to wash it down with my margarita but even that didn't taste like it should. Don't waist your taste buds here.
Wonderful employees, great attitudes and professionalism. I lost some cash, and the employees found me and returned it to me before I had realized that I had lost it. Couldn't be more happy with the way I was treated.
This hotel was wonderful in every way from the time we stepped in until the time we left. Very friendly helpful staff. food was good rooms were nice and clean with tv, microwave and refrigerator. easy access to everywhere. Loved the parking, lots of it and access to the 6th floor. beautiful view of the ocean and right across the street from the beach. The beds were so very comfortable I would have to say this was one of the very best hotels I have ever stayed in anywhere.
I absolutely love the Best Western Agate Beach hotel for its location and the beautiful views and decor. It is situated so that even the rooms on the east side (non-oceanfront) are shielded from noise from nearby highway 101 by a nice forested hillside. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The location is a bit farther south than I usually travel, but I go out of my way to stay here!
We enjoyed the location and comfy beds. Looking out to the beach and it is an easy walk to the beach as well. Very dog friendly. Will return. The only complaint we have was they do not offer the usual BW breakfasts. They do offer breakfast ( menu and fee) at their restaurant as they are not close to any other restaurants by foot.
We had no complaints. The whole check-in was speedy, i was added to the BW membership, had a great room, super easy to figure out how to call down to front desk (something surprisingly enough, that most hotels dont make that very clear lol) and get a roll out which arrived only minutes later by another smiling staff member. Each time i encountered staff they were smiling, and were always quick to make a suggestion regarding our stay, from which doors work best to get to our room, the ocean, pet areas ect. to letting us know which amenities were where and the stay was peaceful. At check-in she stated she only had 4 open rooms (I believe?), and thru the entire night we didnt hear anything from other rooms around us, from the hall - just peaceful. Glad we stayed here! If were back in the area, id stay here again, worth the stay.
I had a nice room. I paid more for ocean view. It was worth it. Close to beach to walk and a great beach. Not much otherwise close by so you'll have to drive to restaurants. My suggestions for this site is get better toilet paper and better pillows. Room very clean. Nice hallways. Staff friendly. Decent exercise room. Nice looking pool though I didn't get in it. In Room coffee ok.
Accomodating people, an excellent bed, a good-working AC/heating system and much better than average viewing choices on the telly. The internet worked well, too. What more would one want? Oh, yes, and the ocean view and the sunset was stunning.
Always fan of Best Western. This property is easily accessible, the staff desk was very friendly and let us check in at 9:30am, which was great. Stayed for the Newport wine and seafood festival, shuttle bus was picking up at the hotel every 15 mins. Hotel room spacious, clean and nice. Had dinner at the Glass bistro and loved it. Will stay again!
I received a Best Western gift card for Christmas and thought it would be nice to treat my boyfriend to a trip for Valentine's Day. I called the Best Western Agate Beach Inn and tried to book using only the gift card. They said I needed to book with a credit card, so I went online and booked via my travel rewards center for my credit card. I had 24 hours to cancel the booking. 12 hours later, I noticed a charge on my bank account and I called the Best Western Agate Beach Inn. They assured me that it was just a hold charge and would not process until I arrived, also reassuring me that I can use my Best Western gift card. For that reason, I did not cancel the booking or question the charge. When we arrived to the Agate Beach Inn, we were told that because the website we booked on went through Expedia.com and that our card was already charged. We could not refund it and we could not use our Best Western gift card (the reason we came on the trip). We were then offered to use it for room service, which was a disaster in itself. We called room service to ask if we can use a Best Western gift card. They did not know the answer and had to call the front desk and then call us back. They said we can. We ordered room service, they came and took our card down to the lobby and ran it. They brought the receipt to me and I signed the receipt. Upon checkout, they said we did not pay for our room service bill and asked us to pay again. Once we provided a copy of the original receipt, they said it never was charged and had to run our Best Western gift card again, because the original payment was not processed. No one knew how to use the gift card. They had to write down the number and deliver the receipt to us an hour later, just to put the pet fee on the card. We left our vacation with $290 left on a $400 gift card when we thought we were getting a paid for weekend for Valentine's Day.
Mess at check in. First room was not what was asked for. $30 a day for a small dog??? No! Food was good. Nice pool and hot tub---steps hard to get in and out of both. The view from our room was good, but not great.
This hotel is one of the best run and customer friendly place we have stayed at. The service at the desk was friendly, efficient and very helpful. The on site restaurant was great with a nice offering and well prepared meals. The wait staff was also friendly and efficient. Our ocean view Room was quiet, nicely prepared and comfortable. The free wine serving in the lobby from 5pm to 6pm was a very nice touch and an opportunity to relax and meet other travelers.
Visited during a weekday for lunch. Chicken nacho was fantastic, beer was cold and server Betsy was very professional and accommodating, and that is very rare in this local area. Many improvements happening here. Hands-on management is obvious. Would be eager to use the outside patio area once the weather is tame.
I stay with Best Western as much as I can, points member and everything. My last stay was less than poor but this time made up for the bad impression. Still a miss on the continental breakfast not included but maybe time, and customers will sway that a little. I did enjoy the room service! Great service and friendly staff and very peaceful and quiet this time. With the room service we didn't leave the room for 24 hours! I work hard long hours and time away with no disturbances is just what I needed. It was winter this time but we will come back in the summer and see if it is the same.
Wow. I really like Best Western, was disappointed after check in to hear no continental breakfast. Yep. Pay at their restaurant. I look forward to BW for this and good bedding. Ok it was a pretty building and newer decor. The room. SMALL BATHROOM, tiny disappointing products. Citrus smell was good but cheaper quality. We paid extra for an oceanfront. Umm... Still pretty far from the ocean with grounds taking up the property & a road and sand. It was distant. Not an ideal ocean front. Boo. Cheap quality tea (Lipton) and coffee was just ok. The bedding. YES YES. COMFY PILLOWS! In a nutshell, way overpriced and all ya get is nice bedding.
The rooms are always clean and quiet. Checked in after dark and stepped in dog poo on the sidewalk while walking in from the upper parking deck. We have two Danes (which were not with us) but we would never leave their waste on a sidewalk for someone to step in... Please be responsible pet owners!
Room had soft comfy beds and lots of pillows. Roll away was also comfy. The view is just beautiful, and we were comped because it was my birthday! The service was excellent throughout the hotel and restaurant. The restaurant and bar are very nice with great beach views, sitting outside for warm days and fireplace indoors for cooler days! Prices are great!
Everything about my stay at this hotel was excellent. The check-in and check-out were very quick. The front desk people were very friendly and helpful. They even remembered me from p[revious stays. The room service was excellent. The food was very good. The cleaning people were friendly, polite and kept my room in great condition.
Overall not bad, the front desk staff were very nice and check-in was a breeze. BW is getting a little tired, they need to update their bedding and amenities to match the fantastic view and scenery at Agate Beach. Agate Beach property is fairly nice, but it is certainly not spa like. We were there at a quiet time and it was noisy, with dogs barking, people talking loudly, including cleaning staff using the telephone in the next room and talking very loud and we could hear everything she was saying (i.e. personal issues). Terrible shame that the attached restaurant wasn't better, as it would make an evening of dinner and drinks so easy, Unfortunately, the Beach Glass Bistro was easily overwhelmed at breakfast, and at dinner had the worst Halibut and Chips, that it had to be sent back. Although the other entries were fine.
Very clean room, staff was friendly and helpful. Our dog was on the trip, and the pet amenities were wonderful to have. Easy beach access from hotel. Restaurant had great views of sunset and beach. Great place for a beach stay in Newport.
The nicest hotel we stayed at riding down the Oregon coast, the restaurant and outdoor patio were great, we could view the beach from where we sat, very clean and comfortable room. There is plenty of parking, but the main area is up on the rise away from the view of the lobby.
This hotel was the gem of our Oregon coast trip and a pleasant surprise. Excellent location, clean, neat, friendly staff. Not your typical Best Western. The views were amazing and it was a short walk to the beach! I would highly recommend this hotel if you're staying in Newport, even though it's a bit out of the way.
We were very impressed with the entire property and rooms. They gave us a 6th floor ocean view because I am part of the excellent rewards prgram. The room was clean, the views were FANTASTIC and a quick walk across the street and we were on the beach. We will be back for sure and thank you for the great visit.
Here on business. Friendly staff at check in, room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. Appears this hotel may have been recently renovated. Convenient location near restaurants, shopping and my appointments. Price was affordable. Will stay here again when I return.
Very nice hotel.Excellent Staff, Darling Decor and wonderful ocean view... Willl retun for future beach getaways.. Everyhing is very very clean and looks so wonderful.. Highly recommend.... Super clean rooms..
Friendly staff happy hour with decent free wine, very exceptional for a hotel like this, so we felt very welcome. The rooms are spacious and offer good beds. Need to say more to fill up the signs but good is just good.
The hotel was nice, and the room was clean and comfortable, but it's not what we expected. We were looking for a place on the beach, and this hotel is across the street and up the hill from the water. The distance, coupled with street noise, made it difficult to enjoy the sound of the sea from the room. Tho the daytime view was lovely, the balcony is barely wide enough to stand on; there is no way to sit outside and enjoy the view. And the restaurant (we had breakfast) was mediocre.Definitely not what we were looking for for our 25th anniversary.
As much as we loved BW in Hood River, this was again just as few months ago our favorite hotel during our 10-days trip. Originally we were given a room on a 5th floor but after husband mentioned that during our last stay we really enjoyed staying on a sixth floor, front desk lady found a room on a sixth floor! I loved everything about this hotel – their décor, their furniture, their layout, their wide hallways ending with a great view and most of all the breathtaking view from our room. They do not offer free breakfast so we had breakfast at Sea Glass Bistro downstairs. This was very mixed experience. First, our waitress was not very attentive. After we got seated, she walked by us several times during 10 minutes period without acknowledging us. While she was serving other tables, it would've been nice if she offered some coffee. Our food was hit and misses. My eggs over easy with hash brown and bacon were perfect. My husband's eggs Benedict with house-smoked salmon were not the best. His eggs were overcooked to the point of being almost hard-boiled. Salmon while abundant did not have much flavor. While we are definitely planning to stay in this hotel again, we will be eating somewhere else. With so many options in Newport, why suffer service and not so great food?
We have stayed here before, but not since the major remodel.What a wonderful location with comfortable rooms.A good restaurant.Short walk to the beach. Right out the back door!Close to shopping, but not to close!We look forward to many return trips!
We love it here. So classy. The pool is heaven, perfect location and the staff is the kindest we have ever experienced. Highly recommend. We go every year. The beds are great quality and we loved the complimentary wine social by the fire, intimate and family friendly.
We made reservations at this Best Western Plus property with the expectations of enjoying a beach front property. We paid extra for a view room. We are Elite members of the Best Western group and expect the service promised. 1. Although just remodeled we found several defects in the room that a little attention would have fixed. 2. Free breakfast is a given to Elite members but not at this property. Offered pancakes and bacon at $5 each.We went to McDonalds. 3.We were given a 5th floor room with a good view but you have to enter the top floors from Skybridge in a remote, parking lot with no security and not protected from the rain. We will stay elsewhere next time.
Beautiful view!We enjoyed the newly remodeled building and saltwater pool. The lounge was very nice and cozy.We are already planning our next December trip to Agate beach!It was nice having a walmart right across the way to grab items we had forgotten (warmer cloths)
We travel a lot during the winter and fall. Our stay here was wonderful. Staff was accommodating and helpful. Hotel was really quiet, but service was excellent. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The rooms were bright and we'll appointed. Highly recommend. We had a beach view room, which was wonderful.
The staff at the Best Western are absolutely phenomenal! Very quick service and a very friendly staff! The food here is wonderful and I could have not asked for a better meal! If your ever in Newport you should stop and have a bite!!
My wife and I were there the weekend after Thanksgiving ( Saturday and Sunday night) and stayed on a top floor room with an ocean view. First, I highly recommend a top floor room as the main parking lot is up there and if you're staying up there you don't need to take the elevator up to get out. First, the two reasons I'm not giving it 5 out 5. The first is the lack of obvious recycling, either in the lobby or the room; that always marks a place down for me. The other is the small bathroom. That's it; everything else about the place we liked. We had room 624 with an ocean view; speaking of which, you need to realize the place across the street and slightly up a hill from the ocean. You won't be right on top of the ocean. I felt it was close enough however. We also had a really tiny balcony we could step out on to get a better view and enjoy the sound of the ocean as well. Our room had a king bed with lamps on both sides. I appreciated the plugins on the lamps; always nice and easy to plug in anything. There were a couple of nice chairs near the window as well, to go along with the desk chair. It was a nice, large room also. I was disappointed that breakfast wasn't included, but we had a decent breakfast at the restaurant and a really good dinner our first night as well. Here I must make special mention of Teri, the bartender who took good care of us, answered questions about the dinner menu and the drinks we wanted. She was friendly and attentive; if you are down there, make sure you have her help you. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back.
I'd love to thank the staff and coordinators of this hotel for making our experience amazing and memorable. My girlfriend and I needed a night out no kids, we were treated with respect and kindness! We also visited the restaurant which we would both love to rave about! The food was DELICIOUS and our server Wasia was very polite and on point! Everyone at the this establishment went above and beyond and we couldnt be any happier!
This inn has been completely refurbished, and previous problems resolved. The price is steeper than similar motels but the view on the ocean side is tremendous, and there are few comparable facilities in Newport. The beds were quite comfortable and the room was laid out nicely.
I recently had breakfast with my boyfriend at the sea glass bistro at Best Western. I I can confidently say that I will be a frequent guest. The staff was very friendly, our server was washa. she greeted us with a smile and was very attentive to our needs while balancing multiple tables. We had the pleasure of meeting the restaurant manager during our breakfast. Lindsey was a delight and very friendly. We had eggs benedict, and we all know that a hard yolk can ruin a good eggs Benny. We were very pleased, our mail came out hot and fresh. We will recommend this restaurant to all of our visiting friends and family. I am already looking forward to our next visit!
I requested and paid the higher rate for an ocean view room to celebrate my mother's 85th birthday and give her a treat of watching the ocean without a lot of walking. The room we were assigned was 232, end of the hall on the 1st level of rooms, next to the swimming pool entrance. Also happens to be a handicap room, which we did not request, maybe because in the reservation notes I said her age? Anyway, I had chosen middle of the week, thinking less busy but turns out the hotel is also a conference center, and the hotel was fully booked and so they said this was the only "ocean view" room. My advice is to request a higher floor room because the beach is not just outside the hotel, you must walk down the hill, across a road, and then across a very wide beach to get to the ocean. also, there are small hills and tall trees between the hotel and beach, so our view was obstructed by that vegetation. We could just see one little piece of the ocean off to the right. Additionally, the hotel is isolated on the far north end of town. After visiting Newport, if I wanted beach and view, I would next time book in the Nye Beach area of town where there are restaurants, shops aplenty, and beach access right out the door. There is a restaurant on premises of this hotel, and guests receive a 15% discount coupon for all meals there, which is good because the crab cocktail retails $19 for the typical small serving. The next morning, we had breakfast at the 24 hour local's favorite Newport Cafe where I saw I could have enjoyed an entire crab dinner for $20! I do however recommend the hotel restaurant's chocolate cake, the only really wonderful thing about our stay at Agate Beach Inn.
Facilities and access to Nye Beach are great, Breakfast was a little slow and fairly expensive. (Some of Best Western Pluses are free) We would definitely stay again when near Newport. Have been satisfied with overall performance of various Best Western locations.
Very nice stay at Best Western Agate Beach! We had an ocean view room looking over the beautiful ocean. We saw a pod of whales blowing and breaching from our room. Very convenient location to town and other beaches.
Beautifully decorated hotel! It looks brand new with impressive finishes and modern decor. I was impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the hotel staff. It's a great location overlooking agate beach and very close to the lighthouse. I will be coming back.
The entire hotel has been renovated, very nicely, almost feels tropical. Great indoor pool and spa. Room very nice and comfy bed as well. They even have own beach access. Nice bar and restaurant on site.
Location was ideal - right by the beach, you walk out the back door and there it is. Dawn who checked us in upon our arrival was extremely helpful, warm and caring, giving us excelent choices of local locations at which to eat or sights to see. Parking was easy and convenient and the heated indoor salt water pool was very relaxing. Definitely a place I would stay again and again.
excellent, nice right on the beCJ lost, great views from the ocean side rooms. restaurant is good, but a bit pricey, nice to have one on site though, Staff was friendly and helpful, hotel was quiet at night. Only issue is with sound noise in the restaurant - party in the bar over powers dinner conversation in the restaurant
This is a freshly remodeled hotel. The facility was super clean and fresh with outstanding staff! The lobby was great and lunch in the restaurant was top notch. We had an ocean facing room with a breathtaking view. We look forward to returning!
The motel is located in a quiet spot at the edge of town. It is quite large, 6 floors, but it was quiet. Everything looked brand new. We will stay there again. The beach access was very nice, basically like a private beach access. Our room did not have an ocean view but many did.
Great location, beautiful view from our room. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms are very quiet, which is a nice plus. Newly remodeled, and will stay there again. We had a handicap accessible room for my husband and it was a very good size for a power chair.
We loved our stay here. The location was perfect--right across from Agate Beach, and central to all activities in Newport. The property has been renovated beautifully. Would DEFINITELY stay here again!
Fairly clean and comfortable. Parking is not immediately next to the hotel, so be prepared to haul your luggage and walk through the rain. If there is any chance you may be extending your stay, be prepared, rates may jump.
We are both employees of best Western, so we were happy with the quality of the rooms etc. There were some maintenance issues that needed to be addressed, such as the elevator button on the 4th floor was loose and hanging off the wall but over all the place is very well maintained. Our room was beautiful! The restaurant staff was wonderful but the prices were a little high and the menu limited, overall we were very please with our trip!
Stayed a couple of nights while attending a conference held at the hotel. The conference rooms were perfect for our group, and hospitality staff were attentive. Interior of hotel has been remodeled since our last stay, and it looks great. Room was very clean and comfortable. Dining room/restaurant appeared to be closed during our stay, and the food we ordered through room service was just average. Luckily, there is no shortage of restaurants in town! I love that there are nice pet-friendly rooms at this hotel, as seeing dogs and their families out enjoying the beach made the business trip a bit more fun. We like to take weekend trips with our own dog and will very likely stay at this BW if Newport is our destination.
The recent remodel of this BW made a great place even better!! We love coming here, perfect location, great service and pet friendly! Our state organization will definitely come back here again! They have a wonderful conference service for medium to large groups! The food is also very well done!
This is truly a top-notch hotel. From the custodians to the maids,, to the manager, to the owner you can tell that the staff takes pride in their work and the facility. We were warmly greeted by the desk clerk, treated to a wine tasting hosted and served by the owner, and accommodated at evey turn by friendly helpful people. The decore of the hotel was fantastic (it had been newly renovated), The room was well appointed, clean, attractive, and comfortable, The amenities are excellent with a restaurant and a nice little exercise room. Facility is located within a very reasonable distance to stores and restaurants downtown and has excellent beach access. Some rooms have ocean views but all guests will find comfortable chairs and large windows in the public areas where one can relax and enjoy a glass of wine while seeing magnificent ocean views. One of the best hotels we stayed at during a 3 week trip to Oregon..
I really liked the hotel overall, rooms were very clean and updated. The staff that worked during the conference were fast and friendly. I would have liked better service in the bistro and espresso bar. Also, beach access was poor.
My husband and I stayed the night here while we were meeting family, and the staff were very helpful when we were having car trouble. I accidentally ran my battery out and the staff were nice enough to call Triple AAA for me. You definitely won't be disappointed!
Stayed with my husband and sister for a night, when we arrived (after check-in time of 4:00 p.m.) our room was not ready - many other guests were in the same predicament. Hotel staff couldn't tell us when the room would be available, so we went to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse to kill some time. No offer of any sort of compensation for the inconvenience. The room was basic, comfortable. The view was ok but you are not right on the beach. We are Best Western rewards members, so have stayed at quite a few Best Westerns over the years - this one was subpar.
Loved the decor and room. Lobby is very attractive and welcoming. We were very disappointed the one day out of three that we requested our room be cleaned. The bed was made and requested towels were replaced, but nothing else. The bathroom was not touched and I was shocked.
I enjoyed the hotel and the front desk staff service. However, we had to request our rollaway twice after arrival even though it was part of the reservation. Likewise, had to request an extra blanket twice before it arrived. What I don't like is the beach this hotel sits on. 4-6 foot dunes all the way to the water line - no flat places to run and play, which is both irritating and exhausting to walk on. (Certainly no fault of the hotel - just a fact of the location)
This hotel has the most impressive staff and rooms that I've stayed in the Best Western Hotel group in Oregon!!! The rooms are clean, beautiful, and your views are either of the beach or the trees. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The staff, from the hostess to the housekeeping staff - you have a family of professionals!!! I'll be back!!!
The rooms are nice, some with ocean views. It indicates ocean front, however it is a little walk to the beach including crossing a road before you actually are on the beach. There was a conference happening with a lot of confusion at check in. Rooms were not ready on check in, however it appeared they had been cleaned once someone actually went and looked. Lots of strange glitches that are unusual for a best western. Credit cards declined, door keys not working, room had some items missing. All of these were taken care of but it definitely was not a fun experience. May have been unique, but it certainly did not create a very welcoming atmosphere. I will look to stay elsewhere my next visit to Newport.
The staff was so rude. My husband is the chief engineer at a hotel in a large metropolitan city. Neither of us could get over how rude the staff at this hotel were. The check-in was troubled as well. We were given a cheaper room than the one we paid for. That had to be corrected and took half an hour to remedy. To make matters worse there was a beach party in front of the hotel that had loud music that rocked out late into the night. They wouldn't do anything to address the noise. We will never stay here again.
Across the street from beach with nice views from the hotel. A meeting type hotel so they have many services. Nice restaurant and bar. Interesting parking with bridge to hotel. Room was clean and modern and staff was friendly.
This was our second stay at this location, and we were blessed with a wonderful view! We had the first room on the right as you come up the small ramp. Our room was handicap-accessible and was well set up for my needs. The view was spectacular! Previously we had stayed further down the hall with an okay view, The beach is just a short walk away. Newport is just south, and there is a Walmart within minutes of the Inn. We went to Walmart and bought breakfast items since there was not a complimentary breakfast. This worked well for us. There is so much to do in Newport and north and south a little way. The Inn is set back from the road so there is not the highway noise. The staff was friendly.
I booked using reward points. I noticed that I did not add my two small dogs. So I called the 800# and they advised that they had added it. Upon check in I told them about the dogs because the pet fee was not on there. Turns out there were no pet rooms. The front desk lady got her manager Isaac and he was so kind and let me have a non pet room and waived the cleaning fee. Both our dogs are housebroken so I was not worried. So that was the first positive. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and the staff was wonderful! We did not have an ocean view room but just go to the lounge and you get a great view! Right across street is the beach! I would stay there again! They have 3 pet areas and they supply bags too!
During our recent trip to OR, we fell in love with this property. The location was great and the view from our view (even though it was foggy a lot, was great). The room was extremely comfortable - King Size Bed and I lovely bathroom. We had dinner elsewhere but came back and order a chocolate sundae from the restaurant to take back to our room that really hit the spot. We also attended the Wine Tasting in the afternoon.
The whole staff works hard with joy! Loved taking my two little children and wife to the beach! We felt so cozy in out room on the lower level. Not to mention, the view was breathtaking from our room and many other parts of the restaurant and lobby!
This Hotel had an excellent view of the beach and ocean. We were able to enjoy that view from both our room and in the dining room. It is near the amenities of Newport, Oregon, including the Aquarium and very near some fabulous restaurants in the town.
Great location, great service, and wonderful guest room. The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and the salt water pool was thoroughly enjoyed. Had an amazing anniversary with my fiance and the views from the room were spectacular. Will definitely return!
I was able to walk to the beach just a short distance, the dinner was fabulous, and my room was perfect. I couldn't ask for a better stay. I look forward to coming back to this Best Western. Of course in my book anyplace on the ocean is a perfect place.
Good location, great food, comfortable clean rooms, free wine tasting and very friendly staff! Check in was quick and easy as was checking out! The only negative was the automatic 19% tip for larger groups in the restaurant. We tipped as normal and then found out the tips we left were based on the plus 19%.
This hotel doesn't live to the standards of WB -Plus! The greater part of the deskpersonnel is uninterested. We got a room on the 6th floor, near the entrance of the parking. It was horrifying! The room itself would have been OK, But it was under the ventilation and airco engines on the top of the roof over our heads. It was like having a lorry running in the room.The smells from the kitchen made it impossible to open a door which led to what whas called a balcony: 30 cm of space outside your room, no place to sit. The smell came in both ways, as the door to the parking was open almost all the time,the whole hallway stank! We complained and asked for another room. At first this seemed impossible, (rude staff except one lady who was temporarily added from the office!) after we insisted on seeing the manager another room was found. slightly better, allthough at the backside of the hotel smell from the kitchen is persistant! The luggage lorries cause war at times as there are by far not enough. I had to go to three different floors in order to obtain some ice. If you stay here: ask for as room at the front . If you don't like dogs: don't go there at all, they are all over the place.
Excellent location! The beach is just out the back door and across the street. There's a hose out back too for spaying the sand off your feet. Kids enjoyed the hotel and closeness to the water. Staff was helpful. Dog friendly hotel.
This is another one-night stay BW on my Oregon coast tour. It has six floors and the parking lot above connected to the top floor via a cross-walk above the parking lot below. This BW has a modern look and it could be built or renovated recently. My room was very good size, comfortable with nice beds during my stay. But unlike most BW, this one does not have guest laundry room. This is only the second BW I ran into that has no self-serve laundry, the other one is in Quebec City. It also does not include free breakfast, and I did not use their restaurant as there were plenty good choices in the Newport city. I had an ocean view room on the top floor and the beach area is very large and long across the road at the bottom floor. I simply drove my car there and park right next to the beach. A Walmart is adjacent to this hotel so you can get supplies easily.
I loved the location (outside of town but a only short drive to get back to the restaurants etc.) and the room was lovely. Sixth floor oceanfront room had a nice view of the beach and the ocean. If you are looking for a balcony where you can sit, however, this is not the place -- there is a sliding glass door and a tiny balcony that allows you to step outside, but it's not large enough to sit outside. The beach itself is very wide, and it's a long way to the ocean over undulating dunes, so keep that in mind if you plan to spend a lot of time on the beach, especially if going with people who might have trouble with the walk. It's hard to get to the firmer part of the beach near the water. One really nice thing about the sixth floor is that, due to the location of the hotel against a hillside, there is an upper parking area with a skywalk across directly to the sixth floor, so we didn't have to use elevator or stairs with our luggage. They are just finishing up renovations on the hotel -- it looks great! -- but we encountered some issues with noise in our room due to workmen on the roof. If staying on the sixth floor soon (late August 2018), you might want to ask about this if you were planning to sleep in. Otherwise, we loved the hotel and would definitely go back there.
We stayed one night last week on a road trip. The hotel is immaculate and very well renovated. What a refreshing treat. It is on agate beach however it is high on a slope and might be hard for people with disabilities to reach. Nevertheless the hotel is lovely. Our only regret is there is no breakfast is included as with other Best Westerns.
Great staff, good location, good food, comfortable and friendly bar. Good to see familiar staff are still there, gives a sense of continuity and comfort. Supporting people experiencing significant personal needs when traveling this is one of the best properties to go to, to enjoy the Oregon coast.
We were so impressed by the Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn. When we walked in, we were welcomed by friendly staff and management. The hotel is in exceptional condition and the rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. It has a salt water pool and access directly to the miles of beach. We were invited to happy hour where we met the manager Judy, and had a glass of wine to relax and meet other guests in their lounge after a long day of riding down the picturesque OR coast. Then we walked the sandy beach before we had an amazing meal in the hotel restaurant. It was the most relaxing stay we had on our trip. The hotel is pet friendly and I enjoyed cuddling all the pooches that were enjoying their vacation. Also the hotel is located within minutes from Walmart. This is definitely an agate on the road with its amazing location, excellent faciltity and fri3endly staff. We definitely recommend this hotel to all our friends and will stay here again on our next bike trip.
We stayed here only for one night and it was a last minute drive by booking. The hotel is practically on the beach! I would've lived to stay in one of their ocean view rooms because it looked marvelous. we walked less than a minute to the beach and loved every minute of it We used the pool and hot tub and everything was nice and clean. the room was really nice and clean. Loved the wine glass served in the lobby in the evening.
I have never been disappointed with Best Western hotels and this one was exceptional. Everything you want in a hotel. It was clean, comfortable, nice modern decor. Great ocean front views. Nice restaurant in the building.
Nice renovation. Rooms are fresh, beds are comfy and the food was yummy. Kudos to Jennifer at the Front Desk for her friendliness. We would definitely stay again. Close walk to beach and pool area was well maintained.
The hotel is absolutely beautiful and I'm sure when they arnt doing construction the grounds are too. I did a pre check in the day prior and stated I would be in between 4 and 6pm. We arrived at 5pm and our room wasn't even ready. After traveling all day with a 1.5 year old that was a HUGE let down. They would call us when it was ready. We decided to find a place to eat. At 6 they finally call and say that our original room wasn't ready but another one was so they put us in there. We came back and finally got checked in. The hotel decor all around is beautiful and the room was defiantly spacious. My first complaint is that the screen did not have a locking mechanism and that's a major safety issue when children are involved. The second is there were foreign hairs in the tub that went ours. Third is the mini fridge, even on max, never got really cold. Lastly, the restaurant is not very good. Plus they are really slow and don't have very good time management. We walked in and they acknowledged us, but then proceeded to fill orange juice glasses, then fill some water pitchers, walk around and do other things behind the bar and 3 minutes later finally seated us. The biscuits and gravy was salted heavily and the pancake was rubbery. Save your money and eat elsewhere. One final thing, there is a road between you and the beach and it's quite busy, so don't plan on opening your windows at night to sleep. You will get road noise with hints of ocean. Overall, I would try and find somewhere else to stay. At this price and for it being a plus, I expected a lot more.
The price charged for a room exceeds the condition of the room. I would not recommend staying in this hotel until after its remodeling, to commence in November 2017, is completed. Some rooms have bulging leaks with unknown contents in ceiling over the bed. Drawers in chests are missing, equipment is broken or inoperable.
Great hotel just refurbished. Everything is new, clean and cheerful. Short walk down to the beach, so bring your dog. No complaints as this is one of the best- Best Western hotels we have stayed in and would return there next visit.
I had not stayed here before and was unsure what to expect, but can highly recommend this hotel for its amenities and service. My room had a spectacular view of Agate Beach, was large and comfortable and reasonably priced for the time of year. Staff service was excellent, parking easy and plentiful, good food ( and great view) in the restaurant. I would use this hotel again in a heartbeat - super experience.
The room was scented to say the least. Smelled like fabric softner/carpet fresh was used. Very Nice 1st impression. Rooms were clean, except our tub had nasty hair on the ledge. The view was impressive with the ocean roaring away. No breakfast unless you want to pay for it. Beds were comfortable, pillows were better than most hotels, rooms were quiet enjoyed our stay there. Be warned there is no washer or dryer on site. If you need to get clothes washed, this is not where it is going to happen. There are some laundry places in town, but they looked scary.
They have pet friendly rooms, so that is a plus. However, for the price, they shouldn't be that dirty. Visible stains on walls, mildew that has been partially painted over in closet and visible grime with a sticky spot on the arm of the chair. Why don't I ever call the desk when I find stuff like that? Because they pay someone to maintain that level cleanliness on a daily basis. The pool and gym were full of unruly screamin and unsupervised children whenever I saw them. Staff were not inclined to do anything about it. Gripes aside, the nice twist to my story is the restaurant. What a surprise! Not amazing to look at, but the food and service were excellent! We were very pleased and encourage them to keep doing what they are doing! The location is wonderful as well, right across the street from beach access. Agate beach is great. Lots of room to roam with kids and pets. No matter the weather, there are always folks on the beach. Rooms on the ocean side have an excellent view of Yaquina Head and the lighthouse. Wal Mart is very close by for stocking up during your travels or grabbing whatever you left at home. Bottom line, I'll give them another chance, just not in a pet room.
I'm going to tell it like it is. Since the time I was little, Best Western has had a reputation amongst many as being a hotel that's as average as the C on a math test. I've stayed at Best Westerns here and there many times through the years. You could do better, you could do worse. Priced middle of the road. Not luxury, but will get you by....etc. This location tries its best to be just a little better, and surprisingly, accomplishes this for the most part. It's important to understand the nuance between an Oceanfront, ocean view and partial ocean view room. Read about your room carefully when booking. The idea is, the higher the floor, the less obstructed your view in the rooms facing the ocean. The room we were assigned to (initially) was a partial ocean view. We weren't understanding that partial view meant obstructed by trees or other man made buildings. Fortunately, the staff were understanding of our preferences, and were happy to move us to a higher floor with no additional costs. We felt it went above and beyond and is a good example of what customer service should be. This was not only true of the front desk, but the entire staff who were professional, courteous, and made us feel welcome. The beach is a hop skip and jump away from the hotel. On foot, maybe two minutes away. The hotel pool and spa were nice and clean. The hallways had tasteful and understated photos and artwork that were nice atmospherically. The inside of the rooms looked as if they were a bit older, but they certainly weren't dirty. Perhaps a minor facelift would improve the interiors but they were quiet and comfortable. A little expensive in peak season, but worth it for its proximity to The Oregon Coast Aquarium, The Yaquina Lighthouse area, Moolack Shores, Agate Beach and many other desirable places. Would gladly stay again. If not perfect, it's undeniably charming here.
Best Western is stepping up it's game. We were shocked when we set foot in this beautiful hotel and more amazed when we saw the newly remodeled rooms. The hotel feels like a luxury hotel thanks to a recent remodel. The food in the dining room was surprisingly terrific and the view is amazing. Stay here!
This hotel is beautiful and is located right on the beach!! Staff was amazing and helpful. The restaurant was delicious and the breakfast at the restaurant was reasonably priced with a 15% discount. We will stay here again.
This large, beach-front hotel was clean and elegantly styled throughout. The beach is beautiful, and not too crowded. We stayed on the sixth floor, which was nice for easy sky-way access from the upper parking lot. Our room was on the non-beach-side, but there were sitting areas on every floor to take in the view. Very happy with out stay: the best hotel of our 10 day Oregon trip
We stayed at the property for two nights. Everything was as it was suppose to be and this is such a convenient location. We could walk to eat and shop if need be. The beach was beautifully amazing and one should find and avail themselves of the trail that leaves from Agate Beach park right next door. The staff was very helpful and friendly. All in all a very nice stay.
Beautiful hotel. Had a room with a sea view. Just wonderful. Room was very clean. Breakfast at the hotel restaurant, also with ocean view. It was not included in the price of the room, but it was worth it.
My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary check in was easy and our room was stunning with an amazing view. We got a chance to eat at the sea glass restaurant which is their restaurant downstairs. The food was fresh and delicious we had dinner and breakfast there! All the staff were friendly and polite and had some awesome suggestions for local resturants as well. With a sunset like this and great customer service we will be back! All pictures were taken from our room.
What a beautiful hotel to stay out. This is by far the best Best Western Property that we stayed at. Very modern, comfortable beds, spacious rooms, ocean views and a great fitness center. Wished we could have stayed more days here.????
1.The room was not clean. When we checked in the Rm 316, there was area of about 10cmX10cm which had cheese and food residues. It was close to the end of the bed. So it was open area and easy to see. We found a few more small pieces of food residues at other places on the floor. 2. The follow-up cleaning was not satisfied. We called the front desk for the cleaning. The housekeeping staff came maybe 10 min later. We requested to vacuum the whole floor to make sure it is clean. But the staff only vacuumed some parts and left quickly. I had to call her back and found the doormat was not clean as well. Then I requested her to vacuum the doormat and room floor again. 3. The housekeeping staff showed pissed off and yelled
and waking to sunlight on the waves. Incomparable view. New, well appointed room. Clean,quiet, walk to beach. Dog friendly. Six floor skywalk takes you directly from parking to room. The "Plus" really showed.
Website shows they have a breakfast - they do not!!! Upon check in, staff advised they no longer offer a breakfast - they give 15% off at the affiliated restaurant. They should update their website!!! Rooms are only satisfactory, nothing much better than a standard motel which at least offers a continental breakfast and charges half the price!!
The rooms here are all beautifully remodeled since we last stayed here (2 years ago). Wow, what a difference! They have more plugs throughout the room, which was a great and helpful feature. The beds are clean & comfortable. The table is smaller and there is one less chair, so we were disappointed about that. Highly recommend the ocean view rooms - the view is absolutely spectacular, including the view of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. The beach access is great - it is an easy walk to it! The staff is just fantastic - everyone we encountered was friendly and accommodating. We stay here when we are able to visit Newport (after having tried several other hotels).
The hotel was !ovely! Access to beach was wonderful. Room was clean and had many amenities. Note: bathroom doors are sliding barn doors offering little privacy. Access to hotel was somewhat hidden from main road but worth the effort. Private. Room service and bistro are quite pricey.
This is a very good hotel, a little pricey but nice. The Lobby needed to have their windows washed. The other issue was they did not have a complementary breakfast. The room was very nice with a small deck overlooking a great view. Not sure I will stay here again.
Great place to stay; almost like brand-new given the renovations done. A bit secluded off Hwy 101 but near Newport and other great places to visit besides the beach walking. pet-friendly, relatively quiet, clean. Dining experience could improve with the wait staff and the menu was not bad but still pricey, given that this place doesn't offer continental breakfast. It does offer an Espresso Bar, indoor pool and exercise facilities. Loved the view - booked the room thru Expedia - but we had an unmarked room on the 5th floor. Still was nice. K-size bed with lots of pillows and clean, nice bathroom. It is also pet-friendly.
Océan view was good. The deck was tiny and might as well be shared with the rooms next door. Our room was 2 down from he elevator and you could hear it going up and down all night. I mentioned that at check out and was told to request a quiet room next time.The room door to ours and the room next doesn't shut correcly so it was quite loud. The toilet seat was cracked . (They're not that expensive) Our linens were stained upon arrival. Staff promply brought new but that shouldn't have been necessary. The service in thé resteraunt was great but thé food was NOT at all for thé price.
My husband and I stayed here for his birthday weekend. Our card was run for $473 for 2 nights. We went opened the sliding glass door and it immediately slid back shut, so we went back to the front desk and asked for a door stop. They said they would call maintenance. We went back to our room and started examining things because we started to get a sinking feeling. Sure enough, there was a huge water stain on the ceiling above the toilet, which proceeded to drip on my head as I looked up. We went back downstairs and they moved us to another room. This new room was much smaller with no couch. No offer was made to adjust our price when it was obviously a less expensive room. This hotel was recently remodeled, but the closer we looked, the more it just appeared that nothing was repaired or replaced, just slathered with a fresh coat of paint. The 2 arm chairs in our room were stained and dirty, too gross to even sit in. When we visited the bars, the bartender did not make drinks in front of us on the bar, but rather with his back to us. He would take bottles of the shelf, and then make drink in a corner cover with his arms and the bottles out of view of the entire bar. I found this strange and immediately fishy. My Stoli and soda tasted watered down or like an off brand was put into a Stoli bottle. My husband's long island was a dark as a glass of straight coke, and it tasted like sweet and sour and coke. The next morning, my husband wanted some milk with his oreos, and when he opened the fridge, every single thing in there was frozen solid: a half gallon of milk, salsa, guacamole, soda, chocolate milk, our 2 salads, and restaurant leftovers. Completely frozen solid and entirely ruined. At least $20 worth of food. I called downstairs and they offered to send maintenance up there, but I declined saying that I wasn't in the mood for company. My husband turned down the fridge setting. Emily called our room and apologized just for how many issues we encountered, and said she would credit us back 50% of our stay, which I thought was reasonable. Come to find out, they only credited us 50% of the first night only which did not begin to appease our disappointment. We are a young, hard-working couple, and getting away from our 4 kids for a weekend happens about once a year. It was a terrible experience, and I plan on calling the GM and pursuing this matter further.
This is a beautiful facility. Nice fresh decor. Restaurant and bar in hotel. Walking distance to Walmart and other shopping. Fabulous views. Beach access for enjoyable beach combing Staff was great. Beds very comfortable. Ocean view rooms have patio sliding doors that can be opened to enjoy the sea air and sound of the surf. We plan to return in the future
Decor and staff are great! Amazing location on the beach. Restaurant has decent food, selection, and pricing. Pool and spa were enjoyable and not crowded. Beach is excellent soft Oregon sand. Dog friendly! If you need anything, Walmart is walking distance. We will be back to stay!
Only stayed one night , superb facilities, great views and staff with great personalities . Room as expected , spacious clean and tidy . The bar was well stocked . Parking was plentiful , but a note of caution hotel was not easily viewed from the highway until we were passing it .
We loved this hotel! I would say that this was our favorite hotel during our 25 days trip. We got spacious king room on a 6th floor with unbelievable view of a beach and a lighthouse. It was newly remodeled with tasteful and clean contemporary décor and functional open layout. Front desk service was friendly and helpful. They have upper-level parking lot so we could walk directly to our 6th floor room using a sky-walk. They do not offer free breakfast but have a coffee maker in each room.
We had room on 6th floor Room was very nice, ocean view and king bed. What a view!!!!! We could see the light house and ocean Room was Large and very nice You need to park on upper parking and walk across short open sky bridge to enter the 6th floor entry to rooms in thru corridor. Hotel north of Town which is nice There is a Safeway, Fred Meyers, and Walmart just across highway. You do not get a free breakfast, but they have s small restaurant and bar. We chose to eat else where. Prices for breakfast not to bad but prices for dinner expensive Staff was very nice and helpful
Beautiful, clean and modern. The staff was friendly and attentive. We had a gorgeous ocean view room with a comfortable mattress. Newport is a lovely city and we enjoyed spending the evenings at the pier.
We stayed here for rwo nights. We absokutely can recommand this place and would also recommand taking a room with ocean view. We were in the forth floor and the view was stunning! The room was newly renovated and had a great bed.the poolarea was nice (nicer than on the pictures). Especially to mention is the restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. All over it was a really relaxing stay and if we would live closer, we would book a room just for having a relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, we live too fare away to do it.
First time here, but we always stay at Best Western on our road trips. This place is right off of Highway 101 just outside Newport Oregon. The place looks new, and very clean and modern. Very large public places, that open out to the great views of the ocean. The rooms are new, large and very clean. We had a west facing room with great views of the Pacific Ocean. We ate at the Sea Glass Bistro, and found it odd that there was no way for a handicapped person to get down the steps into the restaurant. Other than that this place gets five stars!
Grey haired older guy (restaurant manager) needs to attend to his guests in turn. Rather than looking for tips at the large party tables and totally ignoring bar customers. Saw a party of 4 wait 20 minutes for a drink and leave in disgust. We stayed and waited 30 minutes to be served by a lady who was great. Have a word with grey guy and all will be well...!??
While a long way from the ocean (relatively), it is right on the beach. This location has the longest beach I have ever seen. Hotel is comfortable, updated, and enjoyable to stay. Price for a ocean front room was less than a dump we were scheduled to stay in in Yachets.
Beautiful Ocean view from room we were on fourth floor. Room has recently been remodeled and is very nice and crispy clean. But apparently they have not yet replaced the beds. Which made it stink! The reason you are staying there is for sleep. The bed was lumpy and have huge indents. The front desk said that they were going to be replacing them soon. Other then that was a good stay and will go back but ask for new bed suite.
Nice new updates to the hotel. Enjoyed the new complimentary wine or lemonade , served between 4: and 5:00. The location and view, along with the new+ updates makes this a favorite of ours along the coast!
The hotel is at a perfect location, right on the sandy beach. It was not crowded and is newly remodeled. I was even confident to walk on the carpet in my bar feet! The hotel manager was fantastic and the bar and restaurant staff were very friendly and accommodating. The lounge and restaurant were combined, which was odd as there is a separate restaurant that was closed. The balcony does not fit any kind of seating. Other than that, the pool is beautiful, there is amazing views in the outside restaurant seating area, and the food was amazing! Will stay again!
While staying at the Best Western Plus in Newport, Oregon with my Nana on our road trip from Palm Springs to Seattle every accommodation we asked for was made it was the best hotel we stayed at along the 101. The staff greeted us with a smile and gave us anything we needed and more, a wheelchair to walk down to the beach and use to walk the town and a stool for the shower. We also loved "The Sea Glass" restaurant located in the hotel delicious fresh seafood and amazing breakfast!
I travel frequently for business and am a Diamond elite rewards card holder. I recently used my rewards points to book three days at the Agate Beach property for my wife and myself along with our daughter , her husband their two children, and our two families Beagles. We booked sea view rooms. Those room views are spectacular along with the wonderful sound of the surf crashing onto the beach it makes for a wonderful restful sleep. It is a short walk from the hotel to the flawless sandy beach that stretches for about 500 meters. Nearby is a now closed lighthouse and state park that we visited with views that are best described as breath taking. The hotel presents very well and has recently been renovated. There is a full restaurant and bar in the facility, and a very friendly and efficient staff that could not have done more to make our stay more comfortable and welcoming. I cannot say enough about the hotel and nearby community of Newport Oregon and will gladly recommend this facility to all as one of Best Westerns premier facilities. Terry Hayman Langley BC
Pros: Price was great, $135 for ocean view. Bed super comfy. Amazing view. Room clean, staff super friendly. Cons: no breakfast, first Best Western I've stayed at without it. Bathroom amenities only included a tiny bottle of shampoo and 2 soaps, no conditioner or lotion. Bathroom door is a barn door, no lock and no way to shut it tightly, really didn't like this design feature. Path to beach you had to cross over water, they had a narrow log to get to the beach. If you had balance issues you'd be in trouble. Overall would stay again as the view and price were great. Would gladly pay an extra $20 for breakfast and amenities though.
I was charged an extra $20 for ocean view on weekday night, and breakfast was not included. I had stayed all week in coastal hotels that were nicer with no extra charge for ocean view and they included breakfast. The room was clean, bed comfortable, but balcony small and the view was blocked by wall and trees.
I researched a LOT of hotels in Newport, OR before finally choosing this one. We have a small dog that was also coming along for the trip so we needed a pet friendly room, but i was afraid of ending up with a stinky dog room. This hotel exceeded all expectations I had. The room was gorgeous. We had an ocean view, top floor , and pet friendly. They even left a pet sheet, and dog bone on the bed for our little one. The room had no scent at all of pets previously being in there and was very clean. My husband and I were very happy with our stay and will definitely be returning soon.
A gem of a hotel in a sea of mediocrity. The updates were in progress and we can't wait until the finished product arrives. Great access to the beach and close to restaurants, shopping, etc. You can bet we'll be coming back. Other hotels along the coast- watch out! The Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn is on the path in dominating the competition. Keep up the exceptional work!
Other than check-in/check-out staff who were great, the other staff was not so. It took 15 mins to get an answer on do I need a reservation for buffet(witch DON'T do the buffet it was laughable for $36!! half that maybe, It's best western not Bellagio, or the Ritz). The bartender took my order then served 2 others first, then I asked how much & stood there for 5 mins with $$ out, then just walked out.
I had never stayed at the BW in Newport and it was great. They are in the middle of a remodel but, it was soooo worth it. The room was fresh and clean and the ocean view king room was perfect. I don't think you could get closer to the beach. I won't be staying anywhere else from here on out!
We have stayed several time at the Agate Beach location. This visit was after their amazing updates. The room, dog friendly, was clean, comfortable and had a wonderful beach view. I loved that the beds and pillows were so comfortable. I have noticed on some other hotels, the dog friendly rooms have the worse beds and not clean. BW was amazing with clean, comfortable rooms. The restaurant update and food was exceptional. Loved the food and enjoyed the view from the restaurant. Highly recommend the hotel and restaurant.
Restaurant was way overpriced,not the one they had listed on website,very limited on what they served,changed names and did not carry what previous place had featured on website,paint smell horrible in halls and in room,room needed cleaning,bathtub was dirty,tv needed serious dusting, and not sure what happened to celing but it looked damaged not sure what was going on with that,the beds were nice and the view,but this was the worse BW experience I have had.
Booked hotel while on road. Surprised when we arrived how lovely it was. Hotel under construction. clean. We had a lovely room overlooking ocean. Does not include breakfast, which reservation desk said it did. Bed and pillows comfortable. Receptionist lovely Lady, very helpful
I was there the night of 4/27/18. The place is being updated. I have to say this is the very finest Best Western I've ever been in. The decore' was beautiful. The service was every bit as good. The staff was helpful & friendly as we worked our way through a few minor bugs in information. No biggie. My e-mail address was wrong. I was on the 5th floor overlooking the beach. The view was very nice. The place was clean. The bed was comfortable, the fridge was cold, the wifi worked, etc. The comedian who had the place before me set the alarm to go at midnight. Thanks for the hour of lost sleep. The restaurant served good food and the beer selection was good too. The only thing that really was a bother was the fact that the parking lot takes 10 minutes to get to. You usually have to take an elevator to the right floor, then find and take a foot bridge to the lot. That's a drag when you've got luggage to haul. The other option is to walk wayyyyyy around and up a hill. One word of warning. The sliding doors facing the ocean will open easily. The railing is low. So small children will be at risk of a fatal fall. Bear that in mind when asking for a room.
This Best Western hotel is in the last stages of a major remodel and the property is beautiful. The view of Agate Beach is lovely. Rooms are well decorated, clean and comfortable.We were not disappointed and would stay again.
This hotel is going through some renovations and I'm sure when complete it will be very nice. I understand they are adding an outside fire-pit area to their lounge area. All the rooms have been/are being remodeled. We had stayed on the 5th floor in a remodeled room and it was very nice and clean. This is a standard fare big-chain hotel and has all the amenities you would expect. The two drawbacks for me is that the beach is actually across the street from the hotel and the hotel is a little drive down to the bayfront area. All-in-all if you are looking for a clean place that is ocean view to rest your head, this is it. I cannot comment on the restaurant, as I did not eat there during my stay.
I am here for a business conference and the construction is not as bad as it was last year. Well worth the minor inconvenience! The rooms are beautiful. I will definitely stay here again. Great location and fantastic views of the ocean.
I stayed here for a business conference. The hotel is under renovation, which was fine, they apologized for the construction, and we felt they did their best to keep the noise level down. My husband went with me and our room was beautiful, looking out at the ocean with a small balcony, we loved the view! The rooms are tastefully decorated, and the bed was VERY comfortable. The meals at the conference were standard fare, nothing to write home about, but okay for this type of event. Our only issue with this place was the restaurant downstairs. On Sunday (the first day of the conference) breakfast was on our own, so we thought we'd give this place a try. We didn't see a sign about waiting to be seated or to seat ourselves, so I asked the male server who was at the bar with a couple of female serves if it was okay to seat ourselves or not. He replied in a nasty tone "Not really, but whatever! Just don't sit at a dirty table!" I was taken aback, but thought he was just having a rough morning and we really didn't want to have to leave the hotel for breakfast, so we sat down (at a clean table). He continued to complain about us and others who had left and ignored us as far as menus, water, service in general. We finally got the hint and left. This was perhaps the rudest server I've ever experienced. I shared my first experience with one of the coordinators of our conference and she informed me that I was third person to report the male server's behavior (on separate days than the day I had been there) and that she would report him. If this was not an isolated incident, he really should be trained, or find other employment. The next night, I was on my own for dinner and didn't have a car to leave the hotel, so I decided to brave this place again. This time there was a podium with a sign that said "please wait to be seated" and I was seated very promptly by another server, and more mature woman who gave very good service. The food was good and I left happier than I would have thought possibly after my first experience. I would stay here again, as the hotel is lovely.
There's construction. It's not that bad if you're a tourist and out most of the day. During our stay (early April) they were working on the first floor, so to get to the pool we had to dodge some construction debris--wallboard dust etc. But once you got there, the pool is a 5--saltwater, very warm, with a nice spa too. My kids loved it--we swam every day, twice a day at least once. Only the main restaurant was open during our stay (a real bummer that the bar was not yet completed--I had counted on that for our stay and was disappointed to see it still under construction, but with no notice about it on the website). We didn't dine in the restaurant, preferring to sample the restaurants of Newport. We all slept well. Our room was clean and comfortable for the most part. They have added sliding bathroom doors, which have no locks. These are awful. Hard to use, awkward and ... you can't lock the door! They have a little coffee maker on a built in shelf in the entertainment unit/dresser. however, the plug wasn't plugged in and there was no way for me to plug it in in place--no reachable outlet. So i had to move the coffee maker to the desk, taking up room on the desk. Seems they have made some small, poor and awkward, choices about how to finish these rooms. Hopefully, they'll get better as they work through their punch list. I'd consider staying her again if I went to Newport, but honestly, we'd probably go with a hotel that included breakfast. That pool though...it's nice!
Construction was not completed as promised which did cause a slight discomfort while staying. Having to walk around construction items, parking was bad & having to hear construction tools during conference
very nice place, I will be going back there again, nice decor in rooms,great views,great staff , bar very nice, food good they are in the process of remodeling the hole hotel , it will be very nice when they get done
We stayed a couple of days and the weather was great for walking on the beach close by. The hotel was under an upgrade but it was almost hidden from us and really didn't impact other than parking was minimally inconvenienced. We have stayed there before and we will stay again.
Our stay here was wonderful, and the rooms are gorgeous. I love how close this hotel is to the ocean. The hotel was under renovation when we arrived, but we were not given advanced notice. Continental breakfast and lounge/bar/restaurant were unavailable. I had requested a room with ocean view, but there weren't any available when we arrived because of the renovation project.
the hotel was in the middle of a remodel which we were not informed about upon making our reservation. The Bar was closed. the walls in the rooms that have been remolded are so thin you can here everything being said in the rooms on either side of us. The spa needs some maintenance.
When we arrived we noticed that there was no parking near the hotel because of construction. They told us we had to park in a fire lane (which is not very safe if there is a fire) or park way up this side road that is on a steep hill and walk to a bridge then go down an elivator. When we got onto the floor where or room was the smell of chemicals from the remodel was so strong. It was not as bad in our room but it still made me have breathing issues. The rooms are very beautiful and the view is pretty nice but long walk to the beach. The only thing I found odd in the room was the bathroom door. There is not much privacy. The door only slides over the opening of the bathroom. It is a couple of inches from the wall . It's very odd. I would prefer to shut the bathroom door not slide it over like a barn door. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and it was a bad mistake. We did not like any of it except the toast and jelly. Skip the breakfast if you do stay here. I would not recommend it at all. I would stay again but after about maybe five years when all the new chemical smell has gone hopefully.
The real issue was we were unaware at booking they were under construction and how it affected their parking. We always like Best Western for their beds, cleanliness and pet friendly. Just this stay was a pain arriving late and trying to get around a packed parking lot with many storage containers in the way due to construction. The room was remodeled, so it did have a slight odor of new carpet or paint smell, not a real issue. Bathroom sink was trying to clog but I'm sure they fixed it after we reported it when leaving. Restaurant was excellent. Beach would've been great if it hadn't been raining, so did get the pleasure, but view of storm was cool.
We returned to Newport, OR, where we had gone for our honeymoon 50 years ago. Both the hotel we stayed in then and the restaurant where we had dinner were gone. The Best Western Agate Beach Hotel was wonderful. The newly remodeled rooms, lobby and restaurant are beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the onsite Starfish Grill. The gluten free halibut fish and chips were the best ever!
We love this hotel, from the time we arrived the staff has been friendly. Anna and Issac made sure our family could have adjoining rooms. It has been perfect and the room service has hands down been ??Excellent. Tonight, our waitress Diana was amazing. The food is really good. Loved it.The rooms are nice. View is beautiful. Beach access is easy. We will be back!! Once all the construction is completed. It will be an amazing Best Western. We will be making lots of memories here.???? NordNold
We enjoyed staying at this Best Western as they are remodeling the hotel, we had a very nice room on the 6th floor with an ocean view. The location was good and many things to do within a 25 mile area.
The following is the email I sent to Best Western's customer service department that was never responded to and it's almost been an entire week since it was sent. The manager here at the Newport location, Anna [--], is very rude and lacks basic customer service knowledge. We brought dogs on our stay and made the reservation as pet friendly. When checking in all parties were aware that pets were going to be staying with us and is part of the reason we chose best western. As we were at breakfast this morning, Anna [--] , contacted my significant other and was very rude during the conversation in regards to the dogs being left in the guest room. Her tone was very condescending and unfriendly. I have worked at Westin and as I'm sure you can agree, this interaction is not acceptable in hospitality. When we returned to the hotel to speak with Anna [--]about the conversation she had with my significant other, she was rude and would consistently talk over me and made assumptions on my feelings about the situation. The first thing i said to her was a question. How long have you been in the hospitality industry? She responded a long time. I then attempted to ask if she feels the way she spoke to my significant other is hospitable but I could not complete my question as she became emotionally charged and frustrated with such a simple inquiry. I attempted to ask my question againyet she chose to speak over me again and her frustration showed so much she turned completely around before not answering the question yet again. Anna continued to talk over me as she was focused on telling us how we need to read things before signing them. At this point it has been made very clear to me that Anna is unfit for her current position and needs additional coaching or a break. After she got her personal thoughts and feelings off her chest, she was sure to assume she knew my feelings on the situation. At this point I believe she was done and asked her how she was aware of my feelings and to state what I said to her verbatim as I said nothing about my feelings. Anna claimed that she was being attacked by me and refuse to answer any of my questions. I let her know she had done a very poor job in handling the interaction and is in great need of coaching. I then headed to my room. My significant other went back down to get a copy of what was signed in regards to the pets, as Anna stated that we signed something saying we did not have pets in the room and if we did we were not allowed to leave them in the hotel as she doesn't know of any other hotels that would allow that. If you'd like a list of these hotels I can provide it. My significant other asked for a copy of what we signed for review. And that document had a box we initialled stating there would be a 75 fee to clean a non pet room if there is a pet. There was nothing initialed stating we were not bringing pets, so Anna [--] lied to us and created this entire escalation by not doing her due diligence and jumping to conclusions. My significant other let Anna know there was nothing initialed about not having pets in the room. Anna [--] chose to respond to this with another excuse and lie, stating that it's an allergy issue. As my significant other and myself also have experience in property management, we understand a room can be cleaned to remove allergens. Come to find out that the issue was created by the booking of the room being done incorrectly by best western as the room was to be booked as no smoking with pets as opposed to no smoking and no pets. If Anna [--] would have shown an ounce of hospitality, patience, and/or done her due diligence prior to accusations, this entire scenario would have been avoided. Best western would still have us as future guests as well when we travel for business and personal, yet will choose another hotel after this experience with Anna [--] whom best western has deemed fit for management. Room 418 at Newport, Or. Without a reply to my email, Best Western has made it clear they do not value their guests.
loved the help the staff gave us and enjoyed the view very much. the room was clean and set up comfortably, working appliances no broken or messed up equipment,and the coffee was better than the others Best westerns. We will be returning there in the near future. Even though they were remodeling the place it was easy access and clean. Some signs of construction, but that was to be expected.
Super nice Hotel in a great spot. Pretty sure most of the rooms here provide a great view of the ocean. We were kinda worried that it was so reasonably priced, we thought it might not be so nice, but its a VERY nice Hotel with a dream location! We ordered from the Thai restaurant downtown had it delivered and enjoyed the sunset from our room. Then we left the glass door open to enjoy the sounds of the surf to aid our sleep. VERY NICE! Absolutely would return if staying in Newport again.
There is remodel going so rooms had that weird new smell but service was friendly, especially behind the bar. They gave me great margarita. We went during the Seafood & Wine festival so very busy but was expected. Workers did well enough job handling the increase influx of people.
The Best Western was a solid place to stay on the trip and we had no problems staying in the rooms, interacting with staff and the seafood was great as well. Main bar was closed but the temporary bar made up for it.
I was in a newly renovated room with great ocean view. The room was very clean and bed was quite comfortable. I understand from chatting with hotel staff that the whole place is being renovated and updated. I've stayed here before and have to say with what they've accomplished it's like staying in a brand new hotel. I really was impressed with the new menu in the restaurant. Parking was a little bit of a challenge, due to the shipping containers, but that's obviously very temporary due to construction. The staff was very nice and helpful. And, I was warmly greeted and thanked for staying, which is a very nice change from a lot of places these days. I'll definitely be back.
Was there during festival, therefore obviously things in remodel and busy but remodel looks good so far! Had the special bloody Mary and hit the spot. Definitely will be back after remodel. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The staff were friendly, the facility clean, though construction not finished and bar set up in extra room. Our heat didn't work, but they fixed it the next day. (Had to ask twice for enough blankets to be warm.) Toilet didn't flush properly and tub didn't drain but fixed it the first morning. The exercise machines didn't work but the maintenance guy came right away. The new decor is going for brown and grey modern... not my favorite but clean and updated. Not the warmest colors. Wasn't outstanding and wasn't terrible. Due to the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival, room rates were doubled.
Hotel is a work in process so lots of construction and workers around the facility. Front desk staff was friendly during check in and although we were early (12:30) they had a room ready. Our room was beautiful. The furnishings were modern, color scheme was peaceful. Bed was comfortable and everything was in working order in our room. There is noise from the hall like one of the other reviewers mentioned. It was worse our first night and pretty much non existent the second night. This might still be something they are working on. The door had a large gap so noises would be carried into the room. Bar was being remodeled but it looks to have a great view and I look forward to returning to check it out. Had breakfast both mornings and staff was great. Our server could not have been nicer. Food was ok....pancakes were good! We had a few issues which I talked to the front desk about. They were receptive and I am certain they will address them and make this truly a great stop! Beach is right outside and a very walkable enjoyable place. Check out this hotel, it is going to be a true destination!
I stayed in one of the renovated rooms which was clean, well-appointed and had an amazing view of the ocean. The renovations are set to finish up later this year and all the rooms will be as nice as this one. Staff were friendly and hotel was set up well for dogs. Lots of parking and easy access inside from 1st and 6th floors (it's on a hill). Only issue was noise- walls are thin especially around the door in between rooms. Bring earplugs if this could be a problem for you.
We had a nice corner room on the top floor w/ the best view of the ocean! I would stay just for the view. It had a balcony which was nice. The room was redone so it was clean and furniture were new. Our dogs were welcome. Overall had a really good experience but we were unlucky and had a very noisy neighbor and their noise came right through the door adjoining the 2 rooms. They need to seal the seams better. There was a screaming baby at 4 AM and the mother was coughing non stop. It was terrible. It wasn't the hotel's fault that this family had issues but they could really do a better job w/ the seal on the door between rooms. Otherwise, great hotel. Very close to a very wide, expansive beach which was wonderful! There is a pool and hot tub although we didn't use it.
This hotel is a place you need to be cautious about. Seriously understaffed in all areas. I have stayed all over the world and I've never seen a hallway outside my door covered in piles of laundry, so bad we could hardly go through it, trays of room service that were there since breakfast, it was evening. The one person at the front desk is rude. The beach is great for walking the dogs and people. The room service food from the dining room is adequate. They need to discount this place. Also besides them saying that they had finished the 6th floor that wasn't true. It's loud with the construction and again she lied about the times they're working. There was also a huge blast that shock the whole building at 5 am. Be warned.
Under construction. Just know it's under construction! For us our room was very busy and smelt bad. We slept with sliding door open. The sports bar was closed. It's a mess. Maybe wait to visit until construction is done in March.
They say they are Dog friendly. We didn't find out till we booked a room. That you have to contact the Hotel to ask for a dog room. Also that we you leave the Hotel. your Dog must go with you and you have to tell them when you go to the pool and to the Restaurant that you going there. We stayed for a month in a Best Western in Colorado Springs and never had a problem leaving our dog. But was told it was a Hotel policy not Best Westerns policy. They allowed me to Cancel my reservation but the I was stuck trying to find a place. It was a special trip it was our 10th Anniversary. I will stay at another best western but not this one.
The remodel is very nice, really updated feel. Always nice having the restaurant and lounge in the facility. Close to shopping and activities, but you still feel secluded in your own area. I always stay here when I'm in Newport
Very nice location, it was under construction, so, couldn't get an ocean view room, but, the beach is close enough to walk, and it's very close to the aquarium, and downtown, and old bay area, we are going to try again after construction is finished
Stayed here on our way back to CA. We had the 6th floor over looking the beautiful beach. Yes they are renovating but other then see a couple worker dudes, we would never know. The pool indoor with Jacuzzi were the best. Clean and warm. I love 8 am swim! The breakfast was good. Coffee bagel I'm good. The lady working the breakfast was real nice as is all the front desk staff. I would def. Stay here again.
I booked with this Best Western because of the location knowing full well there was construction. It didn't disturb us too much, as the working hours were very reasonable. We had a great children's themed room that my kids loved but there was a couple problems with the room. The maintenance guy was very helpful as was the cleaning staff. The front desk understood our concerns about the room and went out of there way to make sure we were comfortable. We were moved to a very nice updated room. I was very impressed with how the hotel handled our concerns and I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and I'm already looking forward to our next trip.
Major renovations are under way, which impact your stay. Nice location near Agate beach, which is great walking beach. This is a large property for a Best Western, with 6 floors and interior hallways. We stayed in a pet friendly room (which I appreciate), but the hallway was extremely dirty. Bathroom sink was clogged and it took handyman almost an hour to unclog it. The staff is pleasant, but you may want to wait until after the renovations are complete unless this is your only option as it was not up to what you would normally expect in a BW operation.
We enjoyed our stay at the Newport BW! Big room, Nice shower, beautifully furnished, comfortable King bed, good food, beach access; Beach was beautiful! great staff. Used a Groupon but stayed an extra night. Good price. Great location! We would go again.
Stopped in to say hello and make reservations for Christmas 2018 holiday. The Hotel GM came out to say hello and offered a tour to see the remodel work. The new rooms are wonderful and we look forward to our annual Christmas visit this year and also having Christmas dinner in the hotel. We've visited each Christmas Holiday for the previous six (6) years but because of obligations near home, we weren't able to visit Christmas 2017. We certainly missed seeing the GM and great staff and our future plans are to NOT miss another holiday visit there.
Thoughtful staff and in the process of updating their rooms. We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms and it was lovely! Even had an ocean view. We weren't there very long, but I'll definitely be back!
We stayed here for a couple nights before we met up with family for Thanksgiving. This hotel was absolutely perfect! The beach is very close and easily accessible! There is also a Walmart right next door! I loved that our room had a balcony. (Which it seemed most rooms did.) The beds were comfortable as well! The bar and restaurant seemed very nice, although I did not get a chance to eat there due to other plans. My favorite feature though, was their indoor pool & hot tub! I was amazed that for the first time a hotel pool wasn't freezing to me! Even though a lot of hotels say their pools are heated, they still are way too cold for me! This pool however, was very refreshing! It felt like cooler bath water instead of river water. I also wasn't itchy after swimming, so I think they use salt water instead of chlorine! The staff is also super friendly! Especially Anna at the front desk! She was so sweet with our 2 year old! I definitely recommend this hotel & if we are in the area again, we are absolutely staying here!!! Small side note, but this hotel still deserves every star! 1. I disliked the smell that the hand soap (bar of soap) left on my hands! (Shampoo and conditioner were fine.) 2. The appliances (mini fridge & microwave) especially the microwave seemed like it could use an update.
Great place and great views. It'll be better when remodeling is done. I stayed in a remodeled room and it was nice and clean. Wish it would've had elongated toilets instead of round. Needs USB ports on night stand.
The place is perfect if you want a beach front view but not all rooms is facing the ocean. You need to request it. There is no free breakfast. Our room is non smoking but the bathroom smells cigarette which gives me a headache.
Very friendly staff, nice rooms, beach extremely close, remodeling at the moment, it's going to be amazing. Very good parking situation and nice pool area. Breakfast could use some improvement, but for 5 buck couldn't complain.
We stopped at this hotel because it was a Best Western. They were undergoing renovations, but we decided to stay there anyway. Upon check in, we asked about breakfast thinking (mistakenly) that breakfast was part of the deal. They simply said downstairs and we could order off the menu - because this was a Best Western we thought that brekfast was incluuded. We found out we were wrong the next morning. The staff we talked to were not helpful in the least - they just wanted to get rid of us. Bad attitude. The room was OK, although we could see signs of the renovations all around the hotel - dirty carpets, dust, etc. Pool and hot tub were fine.
Wonderful stay. Hotel just across the street from the beach. They were so nice and upgraded us to a full ocean view room. I so needed this time away for healing. Loved the fireplace in the lobby with the Christmas tree and music in the background. Will definitely be back.
Two minute walk to the beach from this very pet friendly property. Superb ocean views from our room. Hotel was undergoing renovation during our stay, but its impact was minimal. There was no free breakfast but plenty of good places for that in Newport. We'd come back here in a heartbeat.
I have understandable expectations when I book at a Best Western and this one did not deliver at all. Granted it's under a much needed makeover, so the price should reflect that when getting an old, barely clean and uncomfortable room. The linens are worn out, the mattresses are like sponge cakes (even stained!) and the bathroom is the size of a closet. We paid an extra USD 20 + tax to get an ocean view but we ended up taking a walk on the beach and could have spent that money more wisely. Overall this hotel is overrated and underwhelming to say the least.
Starfish grill wastve worst food and incorrect orders. Shells in eggs, cold food, expensive and awful. Would never eat here again. Staff did not offer to discount meal or comp anything. Had to send order back because it was so terrible.
The hotel has promise, but has yet to meet the full potential that is in store for it. I didn't know prior to booking out stay, but construction was taking place on upper floors, and it started at 8:30am. We could hear them drilling before we were really ready to wake up. The pool and hot tub are awesome, and the view of the surf is nice, even if it is a distance away.
One of the better Best Westerns we've stayed at. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and tidy. The location was perfect while having a camper installed just over a mile down the road. The traffic was a bit daunting since we're from the coast and unaccustomed to gridlock, but that's to be expected when visiting the Big City. This motel was handy to get to and tucked back from the highway enough so the traffic noises weren't unbearable. All in all, we couldn't have asked for more. We'll definitely stay here again when in the Portland area.
I love the location of this hotel, staff is great and once the renovation is finished it will be a great place to stay. Just know until then their might be drilling and hammering at 8:00 am! Besides that they have been great on 2 desperate stays and I will be back.
We were told they were remodeling ahead. Rooms nice and clean as well as lobby ect.. Resonable pet fee. Excellent service from Isaac at front desk!! You get a good price because of the remodel. Nice view of the ocean to.
Due to construction, of which I was warned of, I had concerns of what our stay would be like. Yes, the construction was loud, but my concerns didn't apply to this stay. Their hours were fine, we leave during the day for beach time. Great staff for sure. My concerns were gone and can't wait to stay here when it's remodeled.
Bad experience that's abnormal. The hotel is under major renovation that's not listed on their website or noted in the lobby, Not even conveyed at check in. 8:30 AM the next morning the hammer drill starts. When I called front desk the clerk said she could hear it through the phone and it never has been that loud. She talked with manager and manager said to comp room at 50%. No call from the manager to explain or apologize. After complaining at check out the desk clerk agreed the room should be comped at 100%. Construction is difficult and the renovation is needed as the rooms and interior is definitely dated but you either close the property while the major part of the renovation is going on or at the least don't put guests in the same area; even a couple floors down. The upper parking lot is full of containers and one floor I saw was completely gutted. Again, this is a major, needed renovation that's just not handled right for the guests. On the floor being renovated there was a sign apologizing but I didn't see any notice of construction on the floor I was on or in the lobby area. No notice when checking in and no sign of storage containers in the main parking lot. You shouldn't have to ask if the hotel is having any construction when checking in...
The hotel is going through a remodeling till March 2018. Staff was accommodating as much as they could be. Will be nice when done but it's a little nerve racking to stay there st this time. Food was excellent.
No water for 1 1/2 hrs. after check-in. Girls running up & down hallway - and nothing done. Walls are thin, hear the elevator ring when arrive on your floor. Elevator was very cold - felt like inside a walk-in cooler. Screwed up my purchase, charged my credit card - when I used Reward pts. to reserve online.
Definitely would love to stay at this HOTEL in the future - they are renovating the rooms (and they could use a refresher) but even as dated as they may be currently this does not detract from the comfort of the rooms overall.
We enjoyed an excellent view of the Pacific Ocean..The walk to the beach was difficult be=cause of deep puddles. We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving Buffet. There were so many great choices! The many people we encountered were friendly and interesting.
Hotel is under construction. Rooms are nice and staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant service was not as good as it has been in the past but food was good. One thing that restaurant should do is plan better for food for buffet with different time seatings such as do not run out of meat (turkey) for those that have a later seating time. Make sure that the food that is available for the earlier time seatings is available for the later time seatings so all can enjoy.
Highlights: fantastic Thanksgiving buffet; heated pool nice and warm; pillow top bed; ocean view; sidewalk to beach access; great coffee; efficient elevators; reasonable pet fee and policy; cable tv; free wifi
For several years now, my husband and I have traveled from the Portland, Oregon area to the Newport area on the coast to spend Thanksgiving at the Best Western at Agate Beach. While there, we enjoy the most delicious buffet meal! Everything from Dungeness crab legs to turkey and lots of yummy side dishes. The rooms are nice, and will be even nicer when they finish a renovation project. We highly recommend this place.
We have stayed at this hotel since 1981 when it was built. It has gone through ups and downs over the years, but since Best Western has had it, there has been much improvement. They are currently starting to do a major remodel to all of the guest rooms, including all new windows which were needed and heat systems in the rooms, both of which were needed. While nice now, it will be excellent by early spring when the renovation is complete.
This was our 30th Wedding Anniversary. There was no continental breakfast at this location, it was need to pay (not expensive) breakfast. The room truly needed to be updated and the bed was too soft and lumpy. The pillows were a bit small for the bed. But the service was terrific and the beach walk is right out the back door.
Stayed there one night,very nice location we got a ocean front room and enjoyed the view before sundown. The room was great comfortable seating and the nights sleep was great. We had our evening meal in their dining room and it was excellent. The restaurant offers breakfasts but not through the hotel, we elected to move on and have breakfast in Newport. Great sleep!
I decided at the last minute to go to the beach so I looked for a Best Western hotel in NW Oregon that would let me use my rewards for a Saturday night stay that was on the beach. The Best Western Agate Beach Inn is right across a small street from the beach with half the rooms ocean view. They have a sky bridge on the 6th floor to the upper parking lot. They are re-tiling the 6th floor so it's a little messy but they have made it accessible. The hotel is clean and nicely decorated. I got dinner to go from the Starfish Grill which was fantastic. The waitress also made sure I had every condiment available to go with my dinner. The next day I decided to have a late check out which wasn't a problem and then ordered room service breakfast. It came sooner than I was told and was very tasty. From my window on the 5th floor I watched the end of the sunset and then the sunrise all while relaxing in a chair. I could see whales spouting from up there out in the ocean actually not too far out. Saw a Bald Eagle, an Osprey and of course sea gulls and crows. Watched the Yaquina Head Light house from my room also with the waves crashing on the rocks below. It was a beautiful relaxing experience. I love the beach and Best Western Agate Beach made it that much more enjoyable. Too bad I had to go home.
The room smells. They told me its normal because room is pet friendly. On the top of the bedsheet and under pillow and sheets, there some hair. The bathtub has hair too. I paid and i think i deserve a clean, fresh room. Employee were not nice nor friendly. I took my dog out so they can clean my room and they only empty the garbage and put new towels. No vacuum or bed fix.
The staff was great, the hotel is going through renovations which is much needed! The rooms are comparable to a motel 6. The only thing that gives this hotel value is it's location. Pay the extra money for the Shilo or Hallmark!
One of our favorite stops for a place to just get away. We love the beach and this location has that and more. Living only two hours away makes this stay here very easy. There are in the middle of remodeling witch will make it that much better next time. We can't wait to see and experience the newly remodeled location.
This property is under a major remodel, but the facility and staff were great to explain what was going on. The remodel didn't hamper our fun one bit. The pool and hot tub were a great destination for me and my grandkids. The beach is not far, and offers some dramatic scenery. The restaurant provided top notch food. We ordered in a couple of times and also ordered breakfast at the restaurant. Easy check-out.
I just got back from a trip up the coast line from San Diego to Seattle. A big part of planning this trip was the hotel research. I only selected those with positive reviews and this hotel met those expectations. I only stayed one night. I was traveling alone and never felt nervous. I agree that the rooms needed updating, but I disagree on the staff/service. The front desk staff were very nice and professional. They made a point of asking how my stay was and if there was anything else I needed. The views were fabulous and was able to catch a wonderful sunset. Would highly recommend!!
When we arrived the staff was not welcoming or helpfull at all and the rooms are worn out and needs to be updated. The parking for the hotel is also terrible about the only good things about this hotel is the view and the staff in the morning when we checked out. I would definitely recommend to look around before staying at best western in newport.
Used a Groupon for the hotel, room was very nice and spacious - had a fridge/microwave. Very nice views of the beach and water. Options for restaurants, also a sports bar. Pool looked nice but we did not use. Parking ample, there are ice machines and soda machines on the floors.
This is a very nice dog friendly hotel located on a beautiful beach close to Newport. We had a 6th floor room with an impressive ocean view. we enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the hotel and staff were friendly. It was off season so the hotel was not busy and a bit expensive given the circumstances. A beautiful property but ready for a face lift which is ready to start.
Overall this was a fine place for our family,,,,the pool was a treat for the kids. as it was indoor and plenty big..the beach was the highlight for a beautiful morning walk, it was stunning and spacious. 3 stars primarily because, for a family of 5, there was no warm breakfast offered and we had to drive offsite for that.
We were very pleased with our romantic getaway at the Agate Beach Inn - Best Western. Great service and amenities. Had some plumbing issues that were resolved quickly and efficiently. Beautiful view of the beach and lighthouse! We will be coming back.....Thank you!
Had a great experience until I went back to my room to gather a few items before I checked out. A housekeeper came into my room when I was in a meetin downstairs and took items out of my room. Left other items and no sign of any housekeeping happened. Trash still full, bed still unmade, just items missing. Hotel manager got involved after a housekeeper came forward with partial items in hand. Room was paid by 3rd party, so no benefit of a refund. Would've been nice to get a voucher for a next visit, if I decide to come back to best western
Enjoyed a three day weekend despite marginal weather. Newport is a good location and enjoyable town for the coast, and this hotel has a fine spot just outside town. Room was clean and we loved being on the ocean side, though "balcony" was tiny. Breakfast not included, as it is with many Best Westerns, and the $5 special breaky in the restaurant looked weak. The worst part of the weekend was frequent barking next to our room. Most owners are oblivious to the fuss their dogs make when left alone in a strange room with various unrecognized noises. Since the hotel was nearly at capacity, changing rooms wasn't an option. The high price of the room added to the dissatisfaction of the noise. I hope in the future pets will not be allowed, as I would like to return for more time on the coast.
We had a rather pleasant stay at the Best Western Agate Beach Inn. I'm a "Platinum Member" of Best Western Rewards, and a staff member at the front desk took note of this and upgraded us to a room on the fifth floor with a very nice ocean view. The room itself was rather nice, and most things in it seemed to work, although my wife couldn't get the heating controls to function. All the staff members we encountered were professional and pleasant, and the housekeeper who had responsibility for our room was exceptionally nice. Potential guests should be aware, however, that there is no free breakfast for guests at this property. (We were told that guests could have breakfast in the hotel restaurant for a fee,)
We had a great stay. My husband is in a wheelchair and we wanted to go down to the lounge/bar to eat and found that they had a lift for disabled that can not use the stairs which was awesome! The only issue we had was they need more disabled parking for wheelchair vans on the lower parking lot and upper parking lot.
Love the friendly and helpful staff. Hot tub and pool were great. Liked that I could take my dog and not worry about a sitter. Ocean view from the room was awesome. This is our second stay. Will definitely stay again!!
Great beach view (reserve or request it). King bed in nice spacious room with sitting area, desk with separate space for kitchen sink, micro, fridge, coffee maker. Yes, little dated but clean, in fact i found an abandoned cleaning bucket with gloves and rags in the hall way near my room when I checked in...not so inviting. Restaurant menu could use a little more variety. Every day my door key magnet had to be re-magnetized...pretty inconvenient. Parking is not next to the building, but located on 6th floor with an uncovered walkway. Why would you have an uncovered walkway in rainy winter Oregon?
Located right on agate beach, this was a good place for us to bring our dogs. I also liked that we didn't have to drag the dogs through the lobby to get to our room. Over all the hotel was dated and smelly. It is going to be remodeled soon so I would probably return at that time.
The hotel is fairly nice, but it is a little dated. They have in-room coffee, microwave, and refrigerator which I have come to expect in hotels these days. The view from our room was spectacular! Looked out over the ocean. It was partially blocked by some trees, but not completely, so it worked for me. Shower was nice and hot immediately. The hot tub in the pool area was another matter. The second day we were there (Saturday) there apparently were a lot of people using the hot tub which doesn't have jets, but it does have bubblers. In my opinion this is what contributed to the cool temperature in the tub. Apparently, when the water level in the tub goes down, the incoming water is cold until it has a chance to go through their recirculating heating system which takes 20 minutes! I don't have time to wait for the hot tub to heat! I want it hot now! On the plus side, they did have adults only time from 10pm to midnight. They are going to do a complete remodel, so maybe they will be addressing the not-so-hot tub!
We stayed one night after being on the road. Location was nice. Weather was cold & rainy, otherwise would have walked on the beach. Overall clean &comfortable. Nice little fitness room but TV didn't work, although it could have been due to the internet problems from the California fires. We were very disappointed that breakfast would have cost $5 when we were used to breakfast included at the other Best Westerns. Still a good stay.
We had a very nice trip. The hotel was very clean, and the people that worked there were very nice. We would definitely go back to this hotel. I will be tell my friends about it to. The view we had of the beach was beautiful.
We stayed for four days. The weather was fantastic, Blue skies each day. Room was located on the 6th floor a fantastic view of the beach. The restaurant had fantastic food. The staff was so friendly, can't wait to go back again.
What a nice surprise. Our rooms was comfortable and clean...beds were so very comfy. We managed a 5th floor room with stellar oceanfront view of Agate Beach. Balcany door open to hear the ocean. 3 min walk to sand. Nice little bar with patio service and restaurant. We were not disappointed. The hotel is getting ready for a full remodel....can wait to come back and see how wonderful it will be.
We come to Newport every year around the end of September. weather is usually nice (this time was no exception). Always stay at this hotel. the service is very good, the hotel has been around awhile but is kept up very well. It is on the beach, rooms have beautiful views of the ocean. The bar and restaurant offer great service, food is good.
Absolutely magnificent and breathtaking views right outside our hotel room. The staff was tremendously helpful the restaurant had beautiful views and excellent food and the bar had beautiful views and excellent food as well.
Disappointed with room. Dirty around sliding door. No screen. Balcony very small and can step across to next balcony. Furniture in room was very worn. No sink in the coffee bar. This room is more like a $90.00 room. When you get to your motel and you are tired, you can't even check in until 4pm. Don't tell me you don't have rooms available before that!
We were expecting an updated, clean room for the price we paid. We normally wouldn't spend that much, but it was a special occasion. The rooms were incredibly dated and dirty feeling. I see that they are going to remodel soon, which is great, but in the current state of affairs the room should have been about half the price that we paid.
We have stayed here multiple times. This year we opted to bring our dog and stay in a pet friendly room. We were extremely unhappy with the odor of this room. I would recommend another flooring option besides carpet in pet friendly rooms. Our room also appeared pretty run down compared to prior stays.
This hotel is nice. Very clean the rooms are nice sized and we had a perfect view of the beach. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are a little high. It's quiet and relaxing. Great location too. Close to everything
We reserved a king ocean view room. Arrived and found that our room was not available because the former occupants had shellfish and left shells everywhere. The room required serious cleaning. We were given room 232, two queen beds, ocean view. The thing is, 232 does not have an ocean view; it is a partial ocean view, and I suspect that room 230, 228 are the same way. From 232, we had a view of trees and bushes. They moved us to room 610 which was much better. High enough to see over trees and with a great view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable and rooms have microwaves and small refrigerators. The lower level has a bar and restaurant and a pool table. We could easily walk out to the beach. This hotel will undergo a renovation beginning next month. Much needed. As with any other beach hotel, the hotel is a bit worn and is in need of some sprucing up. The staff is very kind. We were minutes from Newport harbor and minutes from Depoe Bay. A Starbucks, Safeway, Walgreens, are not far away. Perfect.
Nice beach view and easy walk to Agate Beach. Room was appointed well. WiFi did not work for us. The breakfast was offered at reduced price. Close drive to Redwoods NP. We would stay here again. Thanks.
What a great hotel we discovered at Agate Beach. We were just across a small road from the Ocean and the views from the hotel were spectacular. The check in staff were very friendly and helpful and the restaurant was delicious. Parking was free as well. Also, we had to cancel our first night as we were not going to make Newport that night due to construction delays on PCH. We cancelled around dinner time and there was no charge. Although the decor was a bit dated it was still a great stay and renovations start in October so this improvement will make this great hotel even greater - yes they are open during renovations!
We had a nice stay here and some rooms have beach views. It is a very short walk to the beach. We saw that they are getting ready renovate the hotel and upgrade to a Best Western Plus. Note that this hotel is on the north end of Newport and you'll have to drive to the historic parts as it's too far a distance to walk.
Friendly staff, gorgeous views from your room of Agate Beach and Yaquina Head make this a delightful place to stay. Added bonus of being dog-friendly (and not just on the bottom floor with a view of the parking lot - we had a fantastic view from our room). On site restaurant serves good dinners and breakfasts, and provides room service at a fee.
Enjoyed having an ocean view even when wet weather had blown in. The room was comfortable yet we stayed at several different Best Westerns one night after next. One had great view but no, breakfast, one had no view and farish breakfast and another had a semi view with and excellent breakfast, including a custom omelete. This hotel had great view but did not include breakfast. So we chose cereal in our bedroom.
This hotel has an excellent staff. that is very attentive to the needs of their guests. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the proximity to the beach is great. We will definitely stay here again.
We had a good experience at this hotel. We appreciate that most Best Westerns allow us to bring our dog for an additional fee. I did not think the beds were as comfortable as I am used to with Best Westerns. $5.00 breakfast in hotel restaurant was very good.
Staff are really nice! We had a nice view directly of the ocean. We were on the 4th floor. The rooms & hallways are very dated, but clean. We didn't enjoy their onsite restaurant: But it was nice to have that option.
Stayed in mid September with my partner for a 3-day long week-end at this hotel which is very well located at the Agate Beach in Newport, at the edge of the beach, facing the ocean and with only a small road to cross towards the beach. Great location however the room in which we stayed in, as well as I think most of its rooms, needs a major interior renovation which I hear, is taking place during Fall 2017.
Room was very warm(& we seemed to have no control over it)? Otherwise the rooms have recently been renovated nicely.You walk into a small "nook" area(fridge & microwave)lower cabinet & coffee maker sits atop a nice sized counter top.Beds comfy & beautiful beach a short walk out back. Stores & restaurants located just a short drive away. Hotel is also situated between 2 historic lighthouses!
We had a great stay at the Best Western Agate Beach. The hotel is clean, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. We loved the swimming pool and spa, the ocean views and direct beach access. Our room had a balcony with an ocean view and I lived out there for the long weekend we stayed. The hotel is close to the places you want to be but not directly in the center of town, so it offers a bit of privacy. We will absolutely stay again!
beautiful location with a beautiful beach view, Excellent lady in the Lounge that served us with great personality and made out experience even better Sheri is great at her job. She made us want to stay longer in the lounge and when we heard she would be back in the morning we looked forward to that
This is a very clean and well appointed hotel. We had an ocean view from the 5th floor and witnessed fabulous sunsets. The hotel is quiet and private with great service. I understand they will be renovating soon, but as far as we experienced, the only thing we would recommend are some new fluffy towels.
We got a room for the beginning of Labor Day weekend. Rooms in town were expensive and we opted to venture out from our usual stay at The Hallmark. We had read reviews and some, now that we know, are misguided. This is a nice hotel, has friendly staff, and is ideally located. Upon check in, we were allowed to do so early and even got moved to the top floor at my request. The young man at the counter was pleasant, knowledgeable, and listened well. The hotel is in good condition given it is ready for renovation and was clean. The carpet has some stains but we expect them to leave those being its two months away from a facelift. Our room was adequately comfortable, quiet, and our needs were met for towels and such. Our floor was quiet outside of a large barking dog that only sounded off twice. Once was when my daughter ran past their room at 9pm, behavior we obviously address. It was convenient being on the 6th floor with the parking lot being there. Additionally, the two elevators were quick to be at our floor and much better than most hotel elevator waits. The pool is nice, albeit busy with kids but we contributed to that. I would definitely not want to stay in the rooms on the 2nd floor between the lobby and pool though. This location is ideal for beach time. There is a Walmart next door for any needs you might have. Decent restaurants and quick fast food is close also. Honestly I feel some of the other reviews are unjustly harsh. This is a solid hotel if you are looking for a clean, quiet, location preferred stay. We just hope the BW Plus tag doesn't come with too much of a rate increase. The price of this hotel is appealing now.
My check in process was atrocious. I checked in early but had to wait almost 3 hours to get into my room. The room accommodations were excellent and very comfortable. The ocean view was marvelous. The room service dinner was very good. The bathroom was a little cramped, but clean and neat.
average large hotel with standard rooms with beach access. you pay $50 more for beach view room . breakfast is extra $5 so we skipped it. Did eat in town at La chappel which was excellent and reasonable.....best to ask for room on 6th floor as there is a walk over to parking lot there
The stay was great, but there was no air conditioning and at the time of year we were there, it was quite warm in the afternoon with the sun setting on that side of the room. They did accommodate us by providing box fans which was a great help. Otherwise, we had a great stay and they are very dog friendly.
Best Westerns are the most pet friendly hotels on the Oregon Coast. Our room came with pet sheets for the top of our beds so our dog could sleep with us without leaving dog hair everywhere. Great idea! They had poop bag disposal stations (with bags available) in the parking lot and on the path to the beach and a place to wash off when returning from the beach.
Recommend highly. Very good service, great Happy Hour food (had the hot wings and onion rings.) Rookie Bar bartender was very good and told us a lot about himself and his career. A very solid Best Western employee!
Staff is very friendly and extremely professional. This trip was pre-remodel and I look forward to seeing the finished project. The hotel is a gem and everyone should seek it out for amazing views, comfort, events and great food.
I loved this hotel and would return to Oregon just to go here. We stayed in a very comfortable room with king size bed facing the ocean with two very comfy chairs that we turned around so we could look at the ocean. I even saw a whale from my room with binoculars. The rooms were clean. The hotel staff were very friendly. We had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed both. The dining menu is small but everything we had was delicious and there is fresh baked bread warm from the oven. It felt like a home away from home and I don't get that feeling very often in a hotel.
My husband and I ended up staying three days here (at the time of the eclipse) and came back to stay another night when we got smoked out by forest fires for our inland destination. It felt like coming home when we returned. We had a very roomy ocean facing room with king bed, There were two very comfy chairs that we turned to face the ocean so we could just look out - I even saw a whale one evening with my binoculars. (Bring binoculars because there are whales that stay in the area - good viewing at the nearby lighthouse.) There is a restaurant downstairs that serves a good breakfast and excellent dinners at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly . I would go back to Oregon just to stay at this warm and friendly hotel.
A one night stay in walking distance to the beach, but an overcast day sure messes that view up. Rooms are nice and spacious with sliding outside doors. No air conditioning - only two hotels in Newport, supposedly, have air. Unlike other Best Western's, breakfast is NOT complimentary - $5 per person. According to the front desk, complimentary breakfast is a "locally owned franchisee" option. Corporate doesn't force them to offer it. Never knew this. Note in the elevator that renovations on the hotel will start 10/31/17. So some future bookings may run into construction. Ask the question reader.
We booked 2 Best Western hotels on Oregon beaches and were pleasantly surprised with both. This one was adjacent to the beach and a quiet location with a beautiful beach view. The restaurant was not only convenient but tasty as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this hotel!
Visited with my grandad for the eclipse. Staff are very nice and friendly especially in the restaurant. The pool and hot tub are very nice. They have a small gym but the treadmill didnt work during my 3 day visit. The rooms are comfortable however our bath tub would fill up during a shower. The location of Agate beach is ideal with great views. My main complaint is that they do not serve any vegetarian dishes in their restaurant unless you are happy with a salad without dressing. Nowadays there really should be a vegetarian option.
We took a road trip down to Oregon Coast and best eastern agate beach inn was one of our stops. Beautiful view from the hotel located by the beach. Crazy sand dunes and views of lighthouses. It is a windy place and don't plant to get in the ocean unless you have a wet suit.
When we arrived we'd been on the road for over 8 hours. I checked in asking for 3 keys. Not one of them worked! I had to return to the desk two more times before they were able to get the keys to work. There was no air conditioning in the rooms which is typically not an issue on the coast except there were no screens on the sliding doors so opening them up for fresh air wasn't an option. The room was hot, stuffy and uncomfortable even after they provided us with a small fan. When I addressed these issues they told me they were undergoing an upgrade soon and these problems would be addressed during the process. The beach is beautiful so I will stay at this property in the future but not until the upgrade has been completed.
Made my reservation for this hotel in May. We were spending 9 days along the coast from Brookings up to Newport. I made reservations at multiple BW along the coast. This one looked nice from the photos of the lobby and the rooms. Upon arrival I was surprised to find out there was no AC. I know, I know, its the Oregon Coast who needs AC. Well, it can still get muggy and humid in a hotel room even though the daytime temps might only reach 65 degrees. The hotel is maybe, 700 feet from the water. The keycard locks are old and the readers didnt always work well. The rooms were clean but tired and ready for an overhaul. The front desk informed me that they are starting a remodel in November 2017, which will upgrade the whole hotel to a BW Plus and the rooms will get a much needed update, remodel and AC! When I asked about the rates after the remodel, they said about $10 per night more. Will try this place again after the remodel.
We liked the location, but the facility is tired. Having said that, and to be fair, renovation/remodeling is scheduled to begin in November of this year. Windows will be replaced with double pane windows, carpet I am assuming will be replaced, and so on. The location is ideal, the staff friendly, and the restaurant personnel were top notch, especially Barbara. She was delightful!
Was concerned about the price, but it was worth it. Pet friendly room was clean and not-smelling. 6th floor room had a great view of the beach. Also, close to dog relief area. Restaurant food was good and as long as you stayed on the premise you could go without worrying about pet.
My husband and I have stayed here a couple times. The hotel staff are friendly. There's a restaurant on site but we didn't eat there. The rooms don't have AC but it was cool enough that we just opened the sliding door and all was good. The decor is a little worn but the place is scheduled for a remodel in November. The room (two queens) was decent sized, everything was clean. Parking is substantial so no problem there. There was ice and vending on each floor I believe. Beds were comfortable. The beach is across the street which was nice and there is a park next door. The pool looked nice but we didn't use it. The price we paid was fair considering we were right at the beach. In case you leave something behind there is a Walmart next door.
Hotel is nice and clean, just a walk across to get on to Agate Beach. We did not like our room because it was right under the walking bridge where you hear door closing and luggage dragging. Our beds were soft and sagged in the middle. Otherwise, overall good.
Great hotel with ocean views. Service not the best, but good accommodations otherwise. Parking was a bit of a hassle. Does not offer complimentary breakfast, even for Diamond members. Not a great price /value overall...
The motel is clean and has spacious rooms. One side faces the beach. The lobby is inviting and has fire place with nice seats to sit and relax. There is beach access from the motel. There is a nice view if you are on the beach side. The other side view is good too of the surrounding woods. The rooms have siding glass door with a small balcony. The rooms are quiet. The WiFi is speedy. The beds are comfortable. There is a nice indoor hot tub and pool. The caveats: - the entrance can be tricky to find. - the entrance is right off Hwy 101 so it has alot of traffic. - Parking near the front entrance is limited but there is the main parking lot up a small hill with a skyway access into the motel on the sixth floor. - There is no A/C but opening the sliding door will cool the room off at night - However, if you're on the non-beach side then the street light shines in. Also, if your room is on the sixth or fifth floor near that parking lot skyway then people can peer right into your room. In addition, the sun rises and shines in on that side. Ocean side is the best but also hard to get. There is complementary coffee in the lobby and also in your room. There is a restaurant with nice view of the beach and surrounding woods. We ate breakfast there and it was very good. Staff is friendly and helpful.
The rooms were clean with nice views of the Pacific Ocean. I would have been totally satisfied if they offered a free continental breakfast like most hotels in this price range do. The hotel is also conveniently located right on highway 101.
Our stay was relaxing and peaceful because of the location, view,cleanliness and overall quality of the room. We will definitely return because of the excellent experience. This hotel is not a BWPlus so the room, although very good was not excellent because of the somewhat cramped bathroom, lack of a sitting balcony and no complimentary breakfast which we have enjoyed at most other BWs.
This hotel was very clean. Pet friendly rooms were clean and smoke free. Had 2 soft chairs, table and a desk. Was very comfy room. I have stayed in this hotel more than once now. Always a good place to stay. Food in resturant is great and priced right, generous servings.
we had our four year old grand daughter with us. plenty to do for all of us. great pool.beach is awesome. stores within walking distance.rooms are a little dated but nice.. staff was outstanding. parking is easy
Just a single night get away. Very pet friendly, Right on beach with easy access, terrific ocean view from my room. No BW breakfast included but very good in room breakfast at quite reasonable cost and timely delivery'
Two night stay. Our room was reserved with a tree view. I asked for an ocean view and was told it was $30 extra per night. Paid the extra money and it was worth it, however we had to get a rollaway bed and that was another $10 per night. Our room smelled like tacos (not our doing). Could have used an air freshener. Quick access out to beach but note there are a zillion small sand dunes to hike over on your way to shoreline. Water cold but great beach for playing on. Breakfast good and plentiful though it's not included.
This hotel has not been maintained at all and does not have Air Conditioning and our first floor room widow did not open more than a few inches and therefore was very warm and lacked ventilation. Towels are threadbare and sheets were too small for the bed and very thin. Hotel is to be modernized in the near future but should be avoided at this time (July 2017). Views are good and so is location but property is overpriced for what you get. Can not recommend at this time
The rooms and Front desk were amazing people. We had a ocean view with a small balcony to view the ocean. It was awesome and the room, bed, were great. We had room service for breakfast. Thanks NEWPORT and BEST WESTERN we hope to come back soon.
The room was clean, staff were friendly and accommodating. Overall service was excellent. The hotel is dated but posted signs indicate they are about to go through a renovation. Room was spacious. We would stay again.
We stayed here on our trip down the Oregon coast. Great, clean hote. Wish we had paid for a room with an ocean view because this hotel has great views! Convenient to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and tidepools.
Our stay at the Agate Beach Inn included much R&R. Hotel staff were wonderful, the restaurant delicious, the pool the perfect temp. Love that you can walk right to the beach from the hotel. Minor disappointment that there were so many children in the pool the entire time - we were too tired by 10:00 PM when the adult pool hours rolled around to use it then. Would have appreciated early morning hours that were adult only. Had constant issues with the wifi. No AC, only a fan/heater.
I picked this hotel because it is right near the beach and a great location. I've stayed at many Best Westerns- some great (NYC and Eureka CA) and some not so much (Athens GA and Iowa) so I had relatively high expectations for this place. I had been awake for 20 hours by the time I reached the hotel and couldn't wait to relax in an icy cold room and unwind from the day (more like pass out). It was 95 degrees back home in Philadelphia so I was thrilled to be on the Oregon coast where it was in the 60s. As soon as I opened the door to my room I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was. There was a frig and a microwave which was a plus (older, but functioning). As I walked into the room I went right for the thermostat. I couldn't wait to turn it down to the lowest it would go. The air conditioning on the plane wasn't working good and I'm always hot so being cold and comfortable in my temporary oasis was a big deal at that moment. Hmmmmm.... no thermostat. Ok- must be a wall unit. No problem!!! Walked to the opposite end of the room and all I saw was a small odd looking unit that looked more like a heater than an AC but what do I know? I pressed the down button but it wouldn't go lower than 72.... I called the front desk and she confirmed there is no air conditioning in the rooms and that none of the hotels in the area do and that they are remodeling in November 2017 and did I want a fan. Absolutely I wanted a fan! I would have take a dozen of them... I was promptly brought a fan and rather than crying I went out to eat at the #1 rated restaurant in the area Georgie's. Ok back to my room, I was one of the unlucky souls that got a balcony view of the parking lot, not the beach. The view from the hotel of the beach is spectacular. But I didn't get that view. Since there are no windows in the room I thought about leaving my balcony door open but it just didn't feel safe because anyone from one of the other rooms could hop the small railing separating our balconies and have access to my room. Forget about the potential bug entering factor, it just didn't seem smart or a safe thing to do. Especially since my room could be seen from the parking lot walkway. Ok- I know I'm sounding paranoid. Honestly, if the room had air conditioning like the hallways it would be amazing. The room was a little dated but it was fine, the bed was comfy and the wifi worked well. Even though it's a high def tv it didn't have any high def channels. I'm sure all the improvements will come in November of 2017 and beyond. The extra parking lot is a little unusual but it worked fine. The beach is a short walk down and it was really nice and I'm not even a beach person but I spent 2 hours walking on it first thing in the am. They don't offer free breakfast as a lot of Best Westerns do but they do have a restaurant. When I checked out I was asked how my stay was, and I said hot. Then I muttered ok... and the reply was "great!" I shouldn't have even said anything, but I was hot and grumpy. If you don't care about having air conditioning this may be perfect for you. I never thought to ask and I should have read more reviews first. I would have stayed in another city. I have a reservation for a Best Western in Lebanon Oregon tonight and really hope they have ac!!! I will stay here again when the remodeling is done but not before.
We have stayed at BW Agate Beach before and it does not disappoint. Great view of the beach and ocean from the room and restaurant. Can even walk to Agate Beach from the hotel. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable - great beds. Restaurant food also excellent. Staff always friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for a great ocean/beach vacation.
Our stay at the Best Western Agate Beach Inn was a time of pleasure and relaxation. This hotel allowed us to walk from the building right out to the beach sand and water. The view from our room was beautiful also. The Crows Nest Restaurant had great food for break and dinner.
clean bedding for every guest that checks in is not a guarantee, you need to request it. Mine were not upon checking in. No daily complementary toiletries were provided. My stay was for 4 nights. Rooms were very mediocre however the hotel plans to renovate starting November 2017. The restaurant in the lobby was great!!
Stayed here with my wife and 12 yo daughter. Great Location with direct access to the beach. Walkable from the hotel to Newport but not a short walk. There is the infrequent local bus which for very little cost serves Walmart directly next door and this is what we used when going to Newport bay. Room was large and clean with Microwave and fridge. Bathroom was adequate size. Only surprise was they do not do a buffet breakfast with waiter service and this would add to cost quite a bit. However, if you are happy with a cold buffet, then do as we did which was buy food in Walmart which you can access on foot directly from the hotel carpark. Enjoyable stay and we will definitely return as cost was good value for the location.
A great hotel...quiet, beach access, restaurant and bar, good rooms. And the best part...Sheri and Alyssa in the bar and restaurant...two great waitpersons, funny, smart and attentive. We already miss them! We're going back soon!
This was a great hotel with easy access to the beach. It has all the amenities a family could want like food, drinks, pool, fitness area, and Parking. There are Rooms with views. Great location and great nights stay.
Location, location, location...this property is located on the oceanfront only seconds away from the heart of Newport, OR. Views from the property are amazing, just like most of the views you find along the Oregon Coast. Property is scheduled for renovations and upgrades soon which are needed. However, with limited chain hotel options in the area, we would utilize this pet friendly location again in the future. Rate was reasonable for the area and staff and amenities were excellent...indoor pool, lounge, restaurant, beach access.
Great place to stay with a tremendous view of the Pacific Ocean from the higher floors on the west side of the building. NO FREE BREAKFAST here! Room cleanliness had a bit of a problem. Great indoor swimming pool & Jacuzzi, but a lot of kids there on the night we stayed.
We always stay here when we vacation in Newport Or. They have a sports bar looking and a separate restaurant looking at the beach. They let us have my German Shepherd which is difficult to find nice places and a large dog. Most the time we bring our adult and teenage sons. The love the beach and the pool and spa. I know this is different but there is a Walmart right next to them and a Safeway and Fred Meyers not even a 1/4 mile up the road. I usually spend 7-10 days at a time here each year. I hope this helps.
Great location and view of the Oregon coast and nearby beach. Many views, opportunities to learn about and explore natural features, good restaurants, shops in Newport area. Room had comfortable, large beds, but was somewhat cramped in the toilet/bath/vanity area. Courteous, not unfriendly, but not particularly friendly staff. No complementary breakfast as at many Best Westerns but room service and on-site restaurant is available.
As I write this we are embarking on our third and final night at this hotel. Most of the important things about this place are fine. The beds are comfortable, the room is clean and everything works. The hotel is looking a bit dated but we learned there is a remodel scheduled for this coming late fall. Two issues, however. The walls are pretty thin so we could easily hear our rather noisy neighbors in the room next to us, however, they were quiet by 10 PM and couldn't hear them again until around 8 AM. The second issue is that they allow pets so dog barking can be heard from time to time. Unfortunately, one resident had two dogs that started barking without ceasing as soon as he brought them out of his room and pretty much all the way to the beach or wherever he took them. Being woke up at 6:30 to 6:45 AM was not pleasant to say the least. We ate in the restaurant the first night for dinner. Food was fine but don't expect much as you probably don't from most hotel restaurants.
The size of the room was perfect as we had a blow-up bed for the 3-year-old. But the King Size bed was horrible. I had been more comfortable in my beds in Afghanistan! The restaurant was on site, but the same waitress couldn't get out order right either day. How hard is it to get toast?
The staff here are incredible! They go out of your way to help not only you but your entire family! Easy access to the beach, great food (slightly pricy)! Truly a wonderful hotel and would go back again!
Staying here for a couple nights. Just got here two hours ago. The room decor is tired with minimal nautical themed pictures. There are two dips in the king size bed where people have laid before us. The fridge makes a loud vibrating noise so we unplugged it. I called a week ago to request a room on the top floor. As Diamond Select members we are used to being offered the higher floors because of our sensitivity to noise. I specifically requested top floor here because the walls are thin and we have stayed here in the past. When we arrived, I got a room on the fifth floor, we took it since sleeping in the car didn't sound great. We got to the room and kids were running and jumping above us. We heard whole conversations From the room next door. When I called about the kids and asked about when quiet time is, he replied that kids are kids and that he would give a courtesy call. After discovering the opportunity to move up to the sixth floor was not available I expressed my displeasure at not being on the top floor after requesting it multiple times, it was met with, "we tried to get you an upper floor". I'm pretty disappointed in the lack of free breakfast, below standard bed sheets and decor, overall the relaxed level of service given, not to say that the man at the front desk wasn't courteous, but it was apparent that he was very comfortable with saying no. This does not fit with the standard best western brand, I'm sad I chose to bring my best friend on a girls trip here.
Very friendly and helpful staff upon check in. They seemed to really enjoy what they were doing and that goes a long way with us. We were fortunate to get a room on the 6th floor, the same level as the parking lot via a bridge. Our room faced the ocean and we had a wonderful view of the light house and beach. The room was a nice size with comfortable beds. Wish we had stayed more than one night but next time we are in town, we will make sure to stay longer. Nice quiet location away from the traffic.
The hotel is right at the beach with a beautiful view from the room and access to the beach is right out the back. Lots of parking and lots of comfortable places to site and relax. Just minutes from downtown Newport. We really enjoyed out stay!
Great pool. Breakfast NOT included, but they have $5 special in the restaurant that looked good until we saw all the other yummy stuff they offered. We had a great breakfast but it wasn't the $5 special. Somehow, I think, this is just a ploy to get you in the restaurant and then tempt you with all the eggs benedict and fluffy strawberry pancakes. The ploy works.
On our way to a wonderful trip. This made the prelude wonderful as well. I will stay here again and again it was that nice, but they need to improve on the maid service. A dirty sock was left behind from a previous guest---yuk! Makes you think what else was missed.
Took my 94 yr old mother on a getaway to the Oregon coast. I was able to look on line and then called the motel to book directly. Mom thoroughly enjoyed the motel. The view was wonderful. She loved the hot tub. Will definitely stay here again!
Wonderful stay, had what we needed. Friendly staff, rooms we dated but worked, loved pool and hot tub, and walking distance to beach!! Parking is difficult when they have large parties but worth it for the location
We stayed on the 6th floor. We could see the ocean and the light house. It was restful and amazing. The room was comfortable and clean. Everyone was hospitable. We could walk to the beach from the property! I would stay again in a heartbeat! I don't know any of the answers about kids. We had none with us. There were children there however.
Ocean view was spectacular!! We could see and hear the ocean from our bed. Beach access was great! Could walk to beach right from hotel and had hose to rinse off feet outside hotel. Great value for the money.
Great location and has beach access. Quiet rooms with great views and balconies that overlook the water. Friendly staff and great service. The meeting rooms are cold, but I'd rather they be cold than sweltering hot. Also, being on the water, it's much cooler here than inland, so even if it's 80 in Portland, it's still only 65 in Newport. Be prepared.
Used a Groupon to stay here for $95 for a king, ocean view. We were very happy with the room and would have liked to stay several more days if we hadn't needed to head home. View was great, bed was comfy, room was spacious. No continental breakfast here. Thanks for a great night!
This was a special visit for our family and my grandsons high school graduation. It was a lively location especially morning and sundown on the main outdoor deck. Beautiful beach with stunning view. I wish I had one more day just for me to hang out here and relax
Enjoy relaxing time at Agate Beach. Lovely view and Beach walking. Courteous staff and pleasant stay as always. Nice sitting area in lobby to play games and visit with friends. Convenient Restaurant on site and great pool and hot tub
Happy to check in here. Room super big and clean. Very pleasant staff. . Really enjoyed it. Also nice to have a full bar and restaurant on premises. Teri at the bar was great! Food was just delicious. Nice stay all in all
Overall experience was very good with no deterring negatives. There were a couple of minor issues with the cleanliness of the room that had been overlooked. Did not really effect our stay though (freezer unit need defrosted and a few cobwebs along ceiling).
Loved this hotel!! Clean, quiet and comfortable bed! Great view of the ocean. Cement walls = not hearing your neighbors upstairs or next door! Bar in hotel and separate restaurant with good drinks and food. Louis salad was yummy. We enjoyed the big pool which was warm and clean. They give extra time for adults in the evening which is nice for relaxing. We will definitely stay here again if traveling through the Coast. Agate beach is beautiful! Don't expect to find agates though, at least we didn't. Thank you Best Western for keeping up to our standards of comfort!!
I feel this hotel is overpriced. I did pay extra for an ocean view. But it's a best western- without the free breakfast. The lobby area is gorgeous and I was maybe expecting too much from the room. But the gold trimmed, mirrored closet doors, tiny bathroom and ancient microwave just gave the room a real tired 90's feel. This BW is trying to be a more expensive hotel, but the rooms are lacking. Unless you are going to spend hours on your one foot wide 'balcony' enjoying the view, I would pass. I'm not even sure if you can get to the beach?
A well run property with beach access and convenience to local attractions. Pool is comfortable with nice view of the ocean, most rooms have a view too. The entrance sneaks up on you, then the parking lot seems odd because it's attached to the top floor of the building via a pedestrian bridge...but park up there anyway and take the elevator down to the lobby to check in. It was a very restful stay for us while enjoying the Oregon Coast Aquarium and other interests in Newport.
We had a great room on the 6th floor overlooking the ocean. Ahhhhh ~ moved the chairs around to face the window and popped a bottle of wine! Ate at the restaurant and had a fine dinner. Our server, Piero(?) was awesome. Hotel was quit and clean. We enjoyed our stay and will return.
I purchased a 2 night, midweek package through Groupon after I researched the Agate Beach Best Western on Tripadvisor. We were pleased the minute we entered the lobby. Checking in was very fast and efficient. I've never seen elevators that arrived within seconds. Our room was spacious, clean and had all the amenities we needed. I very much appreciated the fact that the whole wall ocean side was all window and sliding door. And the comfortable easy chairs are perfect for enjoying the view. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is that the balcony is too narrow for sitting. We were impressed that there were many sitting areas so that the occupants on the parking lot side could still enjoy watching the waves roll in. We enjoyed the Starfish Grill for both dinner and breakfast and the bar's outdoor deck for lunch. I can recommend both.
Felt like a hidden secret, it's so much nicer than imagined from previous reviews or pictures! We felt it from the moment we walked into the grand lobby with a large fireplace seating area, gorgeous views & then warmly welcomed by the friendly, helpful Anna. Our room was nicely appointed w/kitchen bar, fridge, microwave, comfy beds & great oceanview. The pool is warm, nice large, hot tub, both super clean with views of the forest & ocean. Love that pool is stocked with water toys to keep kids busy & tire them out. :) The beach is gorgeous & more private than the busier sections of Newport. Really appreciated they had onsite restaurants & bar, at very reasonable price, it's not gourmet, but very doable, especially with $5 breakfast specials & $4 kids meals. Friendly, helpful staff from check-in to waitstaff & housekeeping team! If you're going for business, they have plenty of open or private computer/work areas to spread outside of your room, so you don't feel so enclosed. We will definitely be back!! Other notes: The elevator is super fast and as you get off on any floor, you'll be treated to amazing ocean views from the floor to ceiling balcony windows!!! I love that it's a very child-friendly hotel, so if kids bug you, please don't visit the pool area till after 10pm for adult hours or early mornings. Don't make parents feel guilty for letting their kids play & enjoy the amenities. Enjoy it all! My only small, petty con is the complimentary lobby & in-room coffee is absolutely terrible & it's the same in the restaurant. If they upgraded it & maybe offered some fresh fruit, it would be great!!! Had to take a short walk up the street (but it was nice trail) to get my caffeine fix.
Enjoyed our stay. We could see that it was very nice, clean and well taken care of. We spent some time in old part of Newport and just walked around, had lunch and shopped for carmel corn! We will be heading back here in late July for a family trip, and look forward to sharing this w/our kids and grandkids.
Friendly staff, good sports lounge with a pretty good beer and wine selection. Nice outdoor deck, great beachfront and ample parking. Room was clean a n d affordable. Only complaint is we could hear normal conversations in the next room.
This hotel is very close to the ocean with a great view. The hotel does seem a bit dated, but was very clean and well kept. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again and recommend it.
We needed a three day get away and chose Newport as the destination. We were happy to get a room for a reasonable rate at the Best Western. The hotel needs a face lift and in November it will get that and more in the mean time it still has a great location, good views The staff could not be nicer, the bar has a great view and the restaurant a $5 breakfast special that is very impressive. We at first had a king bed ocean but the BW reservation agent didn't inform me that it was a pet room. They were out of kings but we got a 2 queen oceanview that made us happy. If you can go for a 6th floor room 610 and above. Maintenance issues may be a problem this summer, We had a problem with our room lock, but with the remodel in the fall all the doors will have RFID locks and many more improvements. Meanwhile it is still a well run and pleasant well located property. Dated but comfortable.
Loved the view from my room of the ocean. Agate Beach is just across the road from the hotel. A lovely beach to walk on. Staff is friendly. Pool was great. Plenty of parking. Pet friendly too! Room service menu is very reasonable.
Room 306 they will tell you is full ocean view. Only if you stand to the far right of the room immediately at the very dirty windows will you have a substantial ocean view. From there you will also gaze out over the metal rooftop and a couple roads. We've enjoyed many full ocean view rooms, this is not one. The room smells very strongly of dog. Pool/spa had cloudy water. We passed. For the money there are far more nice places to stay on the Oregon coast.
Going to the beach always involves our 3 dogs (golden retrievers and Weim) , and who wants to go for just 1 day, especially if you hit a beautiful day! We have discovered that most hotels limit the size of dog allowed, usually 25lb or less. Not sure of THAT logic? BW Agate Beach does not have a size limit. The "dog" rooms are always so clean, no sign of previous pets and no pet damage. We have always booked rooms on the top floor which provides quick access to the parking lot via the sky bridge. The rooms all have sliding doors to a mini balcony ( 2 feet) but it still always a lot of fresh air and a beautiful view of the beach and ocean. The only draw back is beach access. You do cross a street and have to balance on a board to cross a muddy spot to get to the ocean, but it's well worth it if you want a very nice place to stay with your furry family. Have fun!!
Staff here was very helpful, especially Ann who helped explain my points on rewards and a miscommunication between another service member. While the views are not as good as the Hallmark Resort, this hotel still has one of the better locations in Newport. You can hear the waves crash when when you go to sleep at might. The room and hotel are up to date and nothing really seems dated. For the price, it is comparable to other lodging options in the area. If you use your debit card there will be a $50 incidental fee hold in your card unless you pay the charge upfront without the hold. Not a big deal as other hotels hold for a higher fee. I don't think this is the very best hotel in Newport bit it is one of the better ones. I highly recommend and that is why I am giving it a high score.
I purchased our time here via a Groupon so we got a very good deal to stay here. When we arrived, it was a little startling to see how far away and high up most of the parking was from the hotel but this turned out not to be a problem at all. The parking lot is at the same level as the top floor of the hotel (6 floors I believe) and there is a concrete walkway over the lower parking lot and roadway by the reception desk that goes right into the hotel and is near the elevators. There was limited parking on the main floor of the hotel but this was full each time we looked. The view from the ocean facing rooms is very nice. The rooms are a bit dated but clean and functional including a small fridge and microwave. We did call room service to get more pillows as the king size bed only had four small square pillows. The patio door to the outside area of the room was standing room only but it was nice to get some fresh ocean air. It was a good location for our exploration of Newport and the Oregon Coast.
As always, we were very comfortable. The view is the best from the upper floors. The hotel room is always clean and comfortable. All of the Hotel employees we converse with are quite pleasant. This is a pet friendly place so I will probably take my dog next time.
This hotel has gorgeous views if you are in the back end facing the ocean. The restaurant has great food and great waitstaff. Unfortunately, there was no breakfast included, but there was a $5.00 breakfast offered every morning.
Great place to stay! Awesome ocean view from room! The in hotel resturant was convenient and had good food, in addition to being kid friendly! Would recommend this hotel to anyone with kids, or without! Hotel is also on the outside of town so it's not so busy and it has beach access!
I've been here before for a conference, and this time took an ocean view room. It was spectacular. The room is nicely updated and feels safe and secure. We were happy with the dining service for the crowd. Wifi worked well and staff were gracious and accommodating.
One would have to go a very long way to get a better view of the ocean than I had at the Agate Beach Inn. Whew! The service was stellar. Check in was okay as I had to wait for a room to be available. To her credit the front desk clerk called me when a room was available. Then meals were great. The atmosphere was very accommodating as well. Overall I highly recommend this property.
Very nice and clean hotel to spend a few nights on your road trip exploring Oregon coast. Conveniently located on the beach, close to grocery stores and restaurants. The staff is professional and super helpful. We would stay there again.
Staff, room service, the room were awevome. Unfortunately we were unable to eat at the bar due to my mother not being able to go down the steps. The view was fantastic! The view the view the view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Noisy, rooms smelled, staff seemed to all be new and not very helpful when it came to information on breakfast or even where our room was and how to get to parking or the beach.. The heater did not work very well and the wifi is not secure anymore!
my family so happy and very great with all stuff too nice bed relaxing accomudation for sure i travel a lot internationally i always look and requested best western hotel for me and highly recommend to friends and families that i believe have same satisfaction and accommodation thank you and see you again next trip
Hotel was very loud, could hear through the walls and doors extremely easily. We were also woken up twice by phone calls being made between other rooms that were mistakingly being routed to our room. When I notified the front desk about this I was told that the phone lines were "acting up" due to the new internet service and that we should just unplug our phone. I like being able to sleep during my vacation, won't be staying at this hotel again.
A week here is simply not long enough. This spot is close to everything up and down the coast. Easy access, Friendly staff, clean and cozy. The restaurant food could have been a bit more edible, but their chowder was good. Have stayed here before and honestly it hasn't changed much. Yes will probably stay again.
Planned to stay 2 nights last month, but the 1st morning, woke up with bites on neck, hand and arm. Yep, bed bugs. The hotel's response? We'll get up there and spray the room! Don't think I'm going back into a room with bugs and now spray, do you?? No offer to move us ... that is until we said we didn't want to stay another night. And, no offer of anything. I ended up dealing with the corporate office, sending the horrible photos, which I won't share, and letting them know that I had been to doctor 3 times to deal with the repercussions of the bites. Too little, too late describes their handling of this situation. Only after corporate spoke with General Manager did they finally offer more Best Western points, then a refund. No Best Western points for me ... BW will no longer be on my list of places to stay. Traveling in over 35 countries, I've never had this experience. Customers will share information with friends (and the world). Hopefully BW learned that immediate customer service is the best course of action.
The positive: the rooms were clean, the view was beautiful, the bedding and pillows nice, the salt water pool room was enjoyable, the restaurant convenient. The negative: the balconies are a joke with standing room only, the beds were dated and uncomfortable and we could feel hard spots and sunken spots, the restaurant food was just average, the waitress was snarky and jaded, even though we called down and confirmed the bar was open (for another 1.5 hours) we found it closed 15 minutes later... on our anniversary when we were hoping to have drinks and not have to drive. Everything left more to be desired, we will stay elsewhere in the future.
Always one of our favorites, we stay here most of the time when visiting Newport, OR. The place seems to grow on you and feels like we just belong there during our stay. it is close to Agate beach and Walmart. You can walk the beach to Yaquina head and, there is always the light house.
Upon check in, I was not even greeted, it was more like "all help who is ever next" not even recognized as rewards member. I asked for express check out and that did not happen. The rooms are clean, the bed and pillows are extremely cozy, we tried to enjoy the jacuzzi, but there was so much chlorine, that within 5 minutes your eyes were burning, the hotel was full, so we found limited parking, this Best Western has no free breakfast, but their restaurant does offer a chefs special for 5$ it's only 1 item, so if you don't like it, then plan to pay what I thought was a hefty price for a so so breakfast. Had some issues using points for one of my 2 rooms, and was greeted after I arrived back from dinner by a somewhat rude message on my room phone. So less then stellar service in my book. However the ladies in the morning were warm and welcoming, took care of my checkout, apologized, etc they saved this review otherwise I would rate a 2, due to lack of service, the breakfast, and the pool issuem
Love the location! beautiful view of ocean - worth the extra dollars to get a room on the ocean side. All rooms are spacious with large windows, sitting area, comfortable beds and a small counter area with microwave and refrigerator. There is a large pool and jacuzzi area. Eat right in the building at the reasonable bar and restaurant which also have great views. Nice beach for walking...not crowded...we will return...
We came to the coast for rest and leisure. The room was very comfortable. TV listing was accurate. The bed was very comfortable. We well stay here again. The location is ideal. Not too close to downtown but close enough if we want to go there. The ocean side of the hotel has a wonderful view of the beach and of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse.
Excellent room with ocean view and a balcony that you can actually walk out on. ldsflkjs;lfjdkfjlsdkjlksdjflkdlfjsdaljf;adjfl;djsfl;sdjflksdflkdf;ljdsf;lkdflkdsfl;kjdslkfjdksajflkdsajf;lkdsaj I don't want to write anything else aljsfldslkjdsafjdslsanldkjflksadjfljsfij
Hotel is nice check in stmt smoothly. Room is nice worth comfortable bed. The view from the room is wonderful. Staff is friendly and helpful. We were looking for the hotel bar in the evening and instead of just pointing any employee escorted us. I thought that was vey nice and a step above. We will stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay the hotel is great for families I would recommend if your looking for a good seafood dinner pass the hotel restaurant and head into town though we did not have breakfast I assume it was probably good.
The hotel is clean, nice rooms. It was really nice being just across from the beach. Wish the walking path to the beach was a little safer and lit better for access at night. We paid $150 per night. They do have a restaurant but it is pricey as well. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
The hotel looks like it was straight out of 1980. It has good access to Newport and a nice view of the ocean from the lobby. The room was big and clean with a nice view of the parking lot. One huge drawback is that the room is almost devoid of outlets. There were multiple outlets on the desk but no outlet available near the nightstand for a breathing machine. The bathroom was decent but the only available soap was a small tube of body wash by the sink. The pool was nice and great for families. It was also unusual for a BW not to have a breakfast included.
Very nice accommodation with ocean view. Almost done with the walkway to beach. A lot of progress from same time last year. All the rooms are nice and comfy and clean. Not dirty or dingy. Restaurant in hotel is very good for breakfast and dinner.
The room was clean but bed was very firm. The ocean view was nice and there is close beach access. I didn't realize that the balconies were so small when I booked. There is room to stand on the balcony but not sit. The balconies are connected but separated but some bars. I was afraid to leave the sliding glass door open because someone from another room could easily get on to other balconies. We also had a little dog come though our balcony in to our room when we arrived. Average hotel. Might stay again.
We stayed at this hotel for a treat for our grandsons during spring break. We chose Newport due to a event at the Marine Science Center. Plus my wife has stayed here before in one of the ocean view rooms for girls weekend and she never had a problem. We are diamond elite, I stay at best westerns approximately 3 nights every week. With that said it was even acknowledged at check in. My wife was not able to get a ocean side room so we had a room with no view. The room was on the small side. What got us was the beds, they were extremely uncomfortable. One bed was lumpy and the other felt just worn out. Our grandsons ages 9 & 11 opted to sleep on the floor the second night because they got such a bad night sleep the first night. My wife who is not a morning person was up and down all night and both mornings was up before sunrise just because she could not get comfortable. Pretty sad that after a day of activities that we couldn't get a good nights sleep.Needless to say by the time we got home we all went to bed early because we were all so exhausted. The hotel was sold out and I was told no room change available.
Beautiful area, nice pool, comfortable room...A family with a small child was next to us and he kept kicking the adjoining room door until they took him to the pool for exercise, then he slept well! The breakfast is not complimentary. We ordered off the appetizer menu and got strange shrimp wontons with an unusual dipping sauce (not bad, just not expected-I thought they'd be fried, not steamed). We also ordered the Tillamook fondue and got a strange concoction with olive tapenade on the side and bread inside the fondue as well as on the side. As an appetizer for one, it would have served maybe 6. Don't think they had grab bars in the bath tub.
We have come to this hotel for over 20 years. The location is perfect for its view and beach access. We were delighted to see that they continue to upgrade their facility inside and out to make it an excellent choice to stay for our annual beach outing.
Place looks nice. Most of staff were nice, off beach, nice beach view room, place was clean, close to stores, good breakfast price. Food was not bad, Tasty coffee, warm pool n hot tub. Should offer free breakfast.
toilets are to low to the floor for the average adult. The restaurant food was with no flavor. and seems to have been to slow on service. Placed order 30mins prior to the couple next to us and they got their food before us.
The Best Western Agate beach Inn is a very hospitable hotel. The bar/lounge was a plus but we missed the complimentary breakfast Best Western is known for. The restaurant on site had very good food with room service.
We had a great stay, The staff was very friendly and helpful. The suite for kids is a little small but it worked. The pool area was nice. The hotel was a short walk from the beach. The only downfall was there was no free breakfast. But all in all it was nice.
We were pleased with our stay in Newport. This hotel is convenient to the beaches, and even had it's own beach access. Breakfast isn't provided. However, the $5 daily breakfast special was wonderful, and the restaurant atmosphere was very quiet and calming, with quiet music in the background.
Clean, comfortable room with ocean view and friendly staff. Room Service totally messed up both our breakfast orders, but removed charge from bill when told about the problem, so everything worked out well. Would stay again without hesitation.
1 layer of glass outside wall in the room transfer a huge sanitary pup noise from outside, day and night every 10 minutes. The walls between the rooms are also not insulated well for noise. A locked door between separate units, that is not noise insulated.
My husband and I stayed at this facility while driving the coast way north through Oregon and Washington. What a great find! We had a king room that was spacious, well appointed and best of all was right on the water. Staff was friendly and courteous. And the restaurant had a good selection and some unusual dishes. We especially liked their Bloody Mary with Shrimp or Crab appetizer and the Banana Split parfait. Would definitely stay at this facility again!
Nice BW, although it could use freshened up. The clerk checking us in was awesome and very friendly. The Hillside view is a parking lot. When reserved three weeks prior, asked for ocean view. Didn't get that, but at least with BW, you are assured a safe quite and pleasant stay.
This is a very large hotel right on the beach. The rooms were comfortable, quiet and clean. The restaurant was average with a good view. The hotel was very busy but I appreciated the second parking lot off the 6th floor - made things very easy. It is difficult to spot the driveway into the hotel from Hwy101 but the location is convenient.
This Best Western is just off of Interstate 15 south of Provo. The view of the Wasatch Mountains is impressive. My room was quiet, clean and plenty of electrical plugs. Staff was polite and accommodating. The breakfast has make-your-own waffles, eggs, cereal, muffins and more. The bed was very comfortable.
Room was outdated (popcorn ceiling falling off) but clean. Beach side room view was beautiful and close access. Breakfast was disappointing as continental option was not available and we were told the night before by front desk staff that the $5 special offered a good variety and quantity of food. In summary the cost of the room outweighed the value.
A bit pricey with no continental breakfast. When paying these prices one would like at least a complementary piece of toast and a cup of coffee. The ocean view was excellent, but our room was directly above a construction site where the work began at 7am.
Across the street from the beach. Easy beach access and very good view if you have ocean side room. The pool facility is very nice, larger than most with room for parents to sit and enjoy the time with your children.
Beautiful quiet location above spectacular Agate beach with very good accommodations. Rooms are large and ones facing the ocean have the impressive beach and ocean view up to the lighthouse. The staff were most accommodating and helpful in knowing how to park at the 6th floor level and take a bridge back to the hotel. The restaurant has the impressive ocean view and had a large menu and service can be slow and not a place for a quick breakfast. The menu had many choices and one for low calorie was a delicious surprise - a banana-strawberry-yogurt-granolo attractive dish that was excellent We attended a conference there for 3 days and had banquets for 200 persons and had excellent selections and attentive service.
The hotel is clean and well-appointed. The staff are very nice and professional. this would have been a great experience but for the noise from the fans on the roof. We were in a pet-friendly room on the top floor and the noise level was really unacceptable. The staff offered to move us, but at 2am my husband was already asleep (he can sleep thru anything), so they brought up some ear plugs. I think I got about 3 hours. Once they get the noise situation fixed, this would be a perfect hotel to stay in with your dog. It is a short walk to the beach and very dog-friendly.
Our first stay with Best/W. on this trip was in Prineville Or. it was a very nice room and clean and comfortable, a very good breakfast. A nice stay all around, just passing through. Reasonable Prices. Then on to the coast, we stayed at Ocean Breeze motel a very nice place, but not close to a Rest. We have stayed at the Florence Best/w. before but this time it was out of our price range. Would like to stay there again though. Then on to Newport one of our favorite places to stay! Best/West Agate Beach!!! Where we run back and forth from Newport to Florence, beach combing and site seeing. Would always like to have a Rm. facing the beach wasn't lucky this time .We had a Great time. The weather was perfect so we didn't spend much time in our room. We stayed at the Fireside Motel a large room, the biggest Rm. we stayed in, but no l view. But closer to our road home. All an all our trip was made more enjoyable staying at Best Western. Thank You Very Much!!!!!
Stayed for a conference - so had little choice. I guess you get what you pay for... Curtains in room were seriously ripped; windows in my room rattled and were drafty. Dead squashed fly on shower ceiling (housekeeping never saw it during my stay). Front desk staff distracted - they need better training or a desk bell! Hillside room was private and looking onto a lovely green slope. 6th floor is very convenient to guest parking.
My issue with this hotel was that they didn't clean our room. There are instructions that if you don't want to be disturbed in the morning by the cleaning staff then to put the sign on the door, and then change it before 1pm so that you can have your room made up later, which we did. We left well before 1pm, made sure to change sign and didn't return back to our room until later that evening. First off, when we checked in there was an almost empty toilet roll left, so after 4 people using the bathroom it went fast for what was even there. Since our room wasn't made up we notified the front desk that we needed all paper products because tissue was also out. 20 minutes went by and still no one came up. Yes, we could have easily went down ourselves, but when we called they said they were sending someone up. And to be honest, when I'm on vacation and paying for services I expect a certain level of service as well. After we finally got that I called the desk myself to report our room had not been made up and they acted like they had no idea that was the case, after my husband had already let them know when we got back. So I told them we didn't have towels and the garbage needed to be taken out. They finally sent someone up with the towels and the man started to leave and I told him about the garbage and he made no move to get it so I emptied it and handed it to him while he stood out in the hallway and then my 4 year old daughter ran to the bathroom and pulled that sack out as well, which made me mad because that isn't her job to be doing. I do not think I am above such things, but as I stated, I expect a certain amount of service for what we paid to stay there. We always try and stay at Best Western because we know what to expect in terms of cleanliness and service and this time we felt let down. The staff didn't seem to care about addressing our complaint either when I told them at the front desk; once on the phone and again at checkout. My mother has a hard time getting around so we do need to spend a certain amount of time in our room to recharge and would have appreciated a fresh setting.
Stayed one night, view of beach and ocean were great. Hotel staff were very nice and professional. Construction between beach and hotel was not a problem and noise was minual. Some very loud people attending some type of convention was the only negative.
We stayed 3 nights, the sports bar had better food choices and service then the Star Grill. That's the only negative - great staff, nice room, and wonderful views of the Yaquina Lighthouse and Agate Beach. My second visits and I know I'll come back.
Right on the coast and a full service property. Terrific room with partial ocean view. Too bad it was foggy. Front desk and restaurant staff A-One. On site lounge, also. Brandy at the front desk was very accommodating and nice which the stay more pleasant.
Best Western Agate Inn has a great location with a view of Yaquina Lighthouse. It might be better to wait until their work on the ocean side of the building is completed to stay however. There was equipment blocking part of our view and not very pretty to look at.
Hotel is in a perfect location to easy access the beach. Views from the room are amazing! Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and our bed was comfortable. Good parking and easy access to rooms.
I chose this hotel mostly because they provided ocean view rooms that were pet friendly. So many hotels require that pets be on the first floor and that often obstructs the view, so i was very grateful for that policy and the view was lovely!! The pet friendly room was clearly a room that had seen a lot of pets...which I have learned to live with since I insist on bringing my dog on vacation with me. They offer dog treats and linens that are especially for the dog. The hotel is directly across the street from the beach....but it is a long walk to the water! The staff was friendly and generous with their time...and by the way, kind to my dog, which I always appreciate.
The views are beautiful, management leaves something to be desired. Staff are all wonderful. Internet is bad, first night in was kicked off every few minutes. Needs room updates, very dark and heat is only available from small wall unit.
This hotel sits on a great view of the sand beach, but that's where it stops. The rooms do not have any way to let in outside fresh air and are very stuffy. No air conditioning but they do have a miniature wall heater with filthy grates. There's no way we would turn the fan only on that unit. Managements solution was to bring a fan into the room which would only circulate the stuffy inside air. There are too many other hotels in the area to select from and this hotel does not live up to the Best Western brand.
Best western Agate Beach is definately dated as far as the rooms but it is nice you don't have a town surrounding you. We booked a room about 3 months out for an ocean view on a special occasion. We checked in and later were told we had to switch rooms due to overbooking. They wanted to move us to a hillside view. I argued, to no avail, that I had booked the room 3 months prior and I was sure I had booked prior to the people that were to get our room. Made no difference we had to move. We have stayed there many times prior to this over the years and were completely dissatisfied. Made no sense us having to move.
We were travelling the Oregon Coast for the first time, beautiful. Unlike many, we take our chances with hotels rather than reserving ahead; can get away with that in September; don't necessarily recommend that strategy. Worked well at Best Westerm in Astoria so they got our business again as we entered Newport. Oops!....this is not that kind of hotel. Didn't realize Best Western did this; always saw them as a "budget, travellers" hotel.... Must say that the rate was good, room was fine except for covers and pillows (lacking substance) But this is a hotel designed for people wanting to stay and play on the beach...who knew? The views of and access to Agate Beach are excellent, the beach itself is excellent. It just wasn't the hotel for us, overnighters. The desk clerk wasn't exactly forthcoming when I asked about breakfast; didn't mention that it wasn't free like I thought it was at all Best Westerns ?? The Sports Bar was nice. This is a hotel more suited to a conference than passing through.
The hotel is located just off the North edge of a prospering Historic Oregon Coast town. The site is near the main Costal Highway, but on the very quiet side, facing the Ocean Beaches. The facility is above any Tsunami Zone, with a good view of the Sea, the Surf, the Beach and the forest. There is a quite good Restaurant on location. Within blocks of any goods or services and visits to historical businesses, and one of the Worlds great Aquariums. Sunsets are spectacular as is any "walk on the beach". It is a very good open, off leash pet exercise too.
The price was excessive as there was no breakfast, old worn décor, a long walk to the beach and hallways often smelling like dogs. The dogs should be kept to one floor as not everyone likes pets on a get away.
Beautiful view and awesome time spent with friends. Was a great place to stay and walk the beach along with driving to other places of interest. I would recommend the hotel and area to friends and family as it was beautiful. The Oregon coast in this area is so nice
Lovely hotel. Spent the extra monies and had a gorgeous view of the ocean. The king sized bed was very comfortable Peaceful and relaxing hotel. Will definitely stay again. Only down side is there's no complimentary breakfast
Just OK. Good location but noisy. Lots of noisy people. If you're looking for a good hotel on/near the beach in Newport try the Hallmark a little further south. It's more expensive but rated higher by those regulars I spoke to.
We liked the looks of this hotel via pix online. We we were just passing through Newport. Sadly- not impressed. Gave us the worst room ever. 5th fl corner room below bridge to parking lot. Heard suitcases wheels all night. Tear in curtains. Very dated. In need of a refresh. And should put that horrible 5th floor room out of order for good.
The hotel is located overlooking a beautiful beach just north of Newport - an excellent location. The restaurant food was also excellent and service was good, with the exception of a very confused breakfast staff one morning. There was no complimentary breakfast at this Best Western in contrast to most, but the menu selections were reasonably priced. The rooms and beds were comfortable as expected and the staff friendly.
We stayed here one night on our trip down Route 101. This hotel is much bigger than most Best Western . It is well positioned by the Ocean and it has a restaurant . The rooms are big and very clean. It felt less personal than many BW s we've stayed at.
There's direct ocean view rooms available at a nominal price over hillside views. Get one of these. Only issue with our room was there's a construction site on the edge of the grounds. Our room looked directly at/over that site. Cannot that be hidden a bit somehow? Also, the path from the hotel to the beach goes by this site. Hotel is a bit dated, and lobby very boring, restaurant and bar could use a makeover, but these again look out to the ocean. So, the hotel represents a pretty good value if you want ocean views at a reasonable price. It's a few miles North of Newport's downtown, and tourist areas but very near the lighthouse (also good view of the lighthouse from the oceanview rooms). I comment that we had a top floor room, not sure how good the view would be from say the first or second floor, be sure to check, first floor may be blocked, and second floor as well.
Another very good Bestwestern. Nicely appointed rooms and amenities, busy, efficient, no free breakfast like most, but a restaurant that did serve a very good breakfast. If you are lucky enough to get a ocean view side it is absolutely spectacular. We would differently stay here again.
I stayed here for one night and to start off the location of this hotel is north of the main part of Newport so to get to the downtown area or the Oregon Coast Aquarium you would have to drive to it but its a short and easy drive. Upon check in was quick and easy with friendly staff. and the elevators were just around the corner from the check in desk. Once we got to the room, which was a coast view, it was quite a surprise to have a great view of the water with a small balcony. The bed was a great size with a small desk and two chairs. Along with a good size TV, microwave and fridge. For anybody looking for a hotel that's not to expensive and has a good view I would recommend this hotel
Long day on road, got a deal on oceanfront ! Such kind caring funny front desk lady!??room is so comfy , easy chairs table to enjoy views of beach and lighthouse! Rockin King bed . No street noise??will stay again!!??
My husband & I came to the coast for the night and made a last minute online reservation. We were able to get (the last available) ocean view room on the 6th floor and it was wonderful! The weather was beautiful so we slept with our sliding door partly open to enjoy the the ocean...
Hotel is as expected for a Best Western - beds are OK, rooms are outdated but clean, and no frills. The views were great and each room had a small balcony. I would 10% stay here again! Wish we could've spent more time here; you can walk to the beach from the hotel. One downside was no free breakfast.
The family needed one last weekend get-away before school started and Newport was perfect! Since it was a holiday weekend, most everything was booked and rates were going up. I waited one day too long and it cost me an extra $50. Total was $205 plus tax per night, so good on you if you get it for less. We packed into a double queen room (2 adults and 4 kids under the age of 8.) Tight fit, but it worked. Clean room that was adequate. Nothing fancy. I would say we had an ocean view, not really ocean front compared with the Hallmark. There is direct beach access to agate beach that's a short walk. The pool was nice and the kids enjoyed it. About the town: Everyone knows about the aquarium here, but I would recommend spending a morning at the historic Nye Beach area and getting fresh pastries from Panini Bakery. We will come back just for the sourdough! (It's where many restaurants including Mo's gets their bread!)
The room had a great view of the ocean and the sunsets werwe great, The food on the hotel was really good and the staff was very helpful. The location to the beach is really close and you are also close to shopping nearby as well. I would stay here again and recommend it to a friend.
This hotel has a wonderful view of agate beach in Newport, Oregon. It is a full service establishment complete with restaurant, lounge, oceanfront outdoor patio, conference rooms and more. Room service is available for breakfast and dinner. The hotels pool and hot tub area is pretty spectacular too. I enjoyed the room service and bar, which has a nice selection of local micros on tap. The rooms are clean, updated and have very nice amenities. The rates are very reasonable.
By the ocean but had to hike through a construction site to get there. Lots of stuff needed tweaks/repairs and there are no screens on the windows and NO air conditioning in 6th floor rooms. Employees don't seem to like their jobs very well - the attitude showed.
We were here for three nights. At first our room was not handicap accessible, but the staff quickly remedy that. The hotel does have a full service restaurant and bar. The only issue that we had was the room is scheduled for re-model in the off season. We kept finding small pieces of the old-fashioned, popcorn ceiling flaky off. Be advised to close your suitcase when out and about. That resulted in our lower rating for cleanliness.
Everyone from housekeeping to check out were friendly, accommodating and made us feel at home with friends caring for us. Hotel was clean, Swimming Pool wonderful and hotel equipped as advertised. Terrific place to stay and have some fun in the process!
We just got back from our week long trip back to Oregon and we stayed here two night and loved the location just north of town. The hotel is located off the highway so there wasn't any road noise and had easy access to a great beach. We'd definitely stay here again. The room was clean and very nice.
My husband and I took our 14 month old baby girl to Newport for the weekend and we stayed here and we had an amazing stay, the hotel staff was amazing and we liked how they provided a play pen for our little girl to sleep in. The view of the beach was unbelievable and the restaurant in the hotel was great, good service and good food!! The only thing I would of liked is air conditioner we came in on a very hot weekend and they only had a fan so that was a little disappointing. We had a great time, and we will consider coming back to this hotel.
The hotel is well suited for guests who want to be near the beach. The views are fantastic and access is a short walk across the road. The hotel needs some facial upkeep but the staff and amenities are great. We had a pet room and the only negative was a residual odor.
After driving eleven hours across the state, it was really easy to check in and just relax. I didn't have to worry about any of the small stuff because it was taken care of. Also the placement is very convenient, right next to the beach, stores and gas stations.
What I liked: 1. The excellent view of Agate Beach and Yaquina Lighthouse from our room. 2. Easy access to the beach. 3. 2 Large chairs which are actually comfortable to sit in for watching the ocean or the television. 4. Good WIFI 5. Bed was comfortable. What I didn't like: 1. The inn had the atmosphere more of a convention center than a place one would want to spend the night while on vacation. 2. The staff was cordial and efficient, but a little shy of warm and friendly. 3. As my wife put it, "This place screams of luxury in some ways, and of cheapness in others." Lots of little things we find at other Best Western motels were not available here. 4. The parking lot location and access to the parking lot are not well designed. Two of the three entry/exit points are now blocked and you must drive your vehicle through a narrow space to come and go. 5. No free light breakfast is available, but coffee is available in the lobby 24 hrs. 6. Because of a convention going on, there was partying going on until past midnight, which meant loud talking in the hallways and lots of banging doors. I was willing to pay extra to get an upgraded experience for my wife on our anniversary weekend trip. We still had a good time, but will be looking for another place to stay the next time we come to Newport.
after driving 400 miles, check in was a disaster. I was told check in was 4pm but they might get us in soon with reservations of 2 nights & they would call my cell phone when ready. We sit in front of the check in counter on the sofa & waited. At 4:30pm while watching walk ups getting checked in ahead of us with no reservations. One couple checked in with no reservations & came back down & checked back out, said their reason was, room was bad, ocean to far away, & too expensive for the room they got. Shifts were changed & some went on break with never no mention of us sitting there or staff calling my cell when room was ready. At 1 point they told us go to the restaurant & eat to kill some time. After asking a 3rd time we got our room. The Ocean & Beach is very, very far, aprox 1/3rd of a mile from the hotel. Also, don't believe the pictures of closeness of Ocean, it's far. I don't normally write reviews but thought I should share my experience. There were smokers & other things to long to mention since this is long already.
The location was amazing! Walk across the street to a huge soft sand beach beach. Be sure to catch the sunset - it is spectacular! The Hotel has all the amenities you have come to expect from the Best Western. The reliability is a comfort, especially for the families. The breakfasts are varied and delicious. But the bar and the appetizer we had left us disappointed. The service is ok, but not outstanding. Some more training, especially in the bar, is needed. We had to ask for our water. And we had to ask for the bar menu. And there was no drink menu offered. The check in desk was a bit disorganized and was unattended at times.
The experience from the check-in to the check-out was excellent. The room was wonderful. There was a slight mix-up on my initial reservation. They had booked me a room that did not take pets. Upon pointing this out to the staff they gave me a better ocean view room for almost the same price. The room was great, the staff was friendly and helpful to me and my dog.
