Hotels near Willapa National Wildlife Refuge

"Longbeach Washington is a beach town and is famously known for clamming for the elusive, tasty razor clam. I was fortunate to dig my limit of clams on more than one occasion. I can eat my fair share of freshly dug razor clams at the first meal. When I can dig for clams for successive days, the clams then are cleaned vacuumed sealed, then frozen. I decided to look for a motel/hotel that would have a freezer to properly store my clams. I found on Hotels.com that the Inn At The Seas description of the kitchen amenities listed a freezer? I had booked the Inn for three nights and paid in advance in the amount of $458.17 with my credit card. When I checked in I was told there was only one in the captains quarter which I could not use. I tried my best to keep all the clams frozen but was not successful. My friend went to complain again about the freezer listing on their internet but was also told about the captains quarters but no freezer. The tasty razor clams were unthawing and I was worried about what could happen if they were not cooked or were refrozen. Fortunately I get a call later in the second day of our stay that they would put our clams in their owner/employee freezer. I was able to transport my now totally frozen clams home. However I am very leery about their quality when I unthaw them and have a clam fry. There was another listing on their internet kitchen amenities that listed a barbecue for use. I was going to use it until I looked at it."

"Great place centrally located. Close to other nightlife spots"

"It was quiet, clean and the staff very cordial."

"Jenny at the front reception was excellent - warm and welcoming and full of great info too! We loved the fireplace in room and the space in generally - so close to everything and a lovely 2 -3 block walk to the beach! Cute kitchen - we cooked a eal there and had everything we needed. The deep tub would be great for baths but was scratched up which wasn't as inviting."

"We loved Salt for our home base while visiting the coast with our 2 dogs, especially having a good restaurant/pub right in the same building -- never had to leave or worry about the dogs!"
