This is the nicest hotel in town. If you are coming to Ilwaco, this is where you need to stay. However, it is not 5 stars, not even close. The on-site pub is very convenient and the food is excellent.

If you’re looking to get away from the noise of more popular busy costal tourist destinations, this is the place for you. Tucked away in Ilwaco right on the pier is the perfect affordable little stay. With an attached bar and restaurant it makes for all the things you need in one place. Clean room, clean bedding and respectful staff and guests made this trip 1000x better. Highly recommended.

The property was quiet and well maintained. It was perfect for a peaceful weekend get away. I’m happy with the price we paid as well. Two things could use some improvement. The mattress that we slept on was so hard and uncomfortable that neither my husband or myself got a full night of sleep. The showers were comically small and didn’t have a functional shelf to set hygiene products on, so we kept the shower door open in order to grab products as we needed them. It felt silly to not include something as simple as a shelf to make the showering experience better.

The Salt is anything but salty. This place was very nice, right beside the bay. There is a bar open Wed-Sunday till 7:30 because- well no MickeyDonalds in town which would have been nice if I stayed there other than Monday and Tuesday. The staff was VERY friendly and asked if I needed anything several times. The room was spacious and comfy, memory foam mattress, well lit and had extra chairs/seating. The bar soap was craft soap from a local soap maker and it was super nice. I liked it so much I requested a T-Shirt (available for purchase at the pub). Added plus-they give you “shop rags” for washing the 300+ miles of motorcycle road grime off your pretty face (so you don’t ruin the good washcloths ya filthy animal)

The room and pub were great and the staff was just wonderful.
I was new to the idea of checking in and out online / over text but that was great too.

A quiet little corner that deserves exploring. The Salt Hotel overlooks an active fisherman’s harbor. The sea air rejuvenates. It’s a simple room well kept and most adequate for exploring the area. Of notable mention- the attached restaurant. Although we didn’t get a chance to eat there on this trip it’s been a favorite on that coast. I’d say it’s the most authentic Cioppino you’ll find. Friendly bar hosting some interesting local characters. We will continue to visit the Salt Hotel.

It was a cool little place.
You can tell the top sheet wasnt changed on the bed and the floors were a little dirty besides that a cool little room.

We have a very small room with good light. It’s fresh, clean and decor minimal but on trend. I LOVE the down comforter! Cant believe this simple motel uses such high end bedding. I brought my own coffee for a pour over because motels usually do t offer good branded coffee but I didn’t need to. They provide an electric kettle for hot water which I’ve never seen before. It’s also refreshing to see solar panels on the roof. They also provide locally made soaps which is also mindful and environmentally conscious, no plastic bottles. We are just so impressed. We also had some of the best fish tacos outside of Mexico while looking at the harbor downstairs in the pub. My guess of the age of this motel build was late 60’s or 70’s when the builders failed to see the harbor as a desired view so the profile of the units are directed to the street rather than the river. Only 2 units face the harbor which next time we book will ask for those units. We love the outdoor communal spaces but it’s still too cold to enjoy.
Overall, this is a gem that exceeds the cost value.

Very cozy and clean room. The bed was extremely comfortable. There were a limited number of things to do within walking distance, although it’s a short drive to cape disappointment.

Nice little hotel close to cape disappointment. Staff was accommodating after I caught COVID and had to reschedule. That alone would bring me back, but the room was clean, area was nice, and the staff were friendly.

Everything was very nice at your hotel and restaurant. I don't like doing reservations through the internet. I had questions on the rooms and there was no one to answer my question's.Im coming back on the 27th & 28th of July to stay in your hotel again.
