The hotel is older, built in the 60's, but the setting can't be beat. Quiet, peaceful, and a view of the Smith River out the sliding door made it feel more like a cruise ship. Don't misunderstand, the hotel is older and first impressions were a bit negative. But the place is unique. We took advantage of a two night... More

The Ship Ashore suffers from neglect and the overall feeling we got was that the owner doesn't care to spend the time, effort or money to do basic improvements or even the maintenance needed to keep ahead of deterioration. The balcony is a prime example. The wood is weathered and the balcony is in disrepair to the point of being... More

This place is a diamond in the rough...it is dated but the interior is sparkling, the towels are large and fluffy, the views are priceless of the Smith River and slightly further west, the Pacific Ocean. Very quiet and restaurant is fantastic. Forgo Best Western and stay here!!!!

The sad part of this review is how dilapidated everything has been allowed to become. This spot has tremendous wildlife views, the restaurant has some of the best food in the area and is such a hidden treasure. After staying in one of the houses that is decidedly run down (sadly I will add since it was so comfortable) we... More

We had read about the beautiful views at Ship Ashore Resort, but could not have imagined the beauty of this location. Driving up Highway 101, the first view of Ship Ashore is not particularly appealing; it is only in driving past the RV lot to the main building that one catches glimpse of the magic of the setting: right next...

I've never been sure what makes it a "resort." Large RV park? On-site restaurant? But, if you don't need city attractions, and want to spend some time exploring nearly-deserted shorelines and some of the biggest trees in the world, this is a good location. Regular rooms are nothing special, but it is ocean-view dining (with good specials), staff is wonderful,... More

My husband and I stumbled across this place by accident. We asked if we could see a room so as to know what kind of shape it was in. The room had a bad smell like old urine coming from the bathroom. The drapes were stained and very tacky. This could be a great place if the owners would upgrade... More

My hubby and I needed to getaway, but only had 3 days, so Ship Ashore Resort was the place. Staff was wonderful fitting us into a spur of the moment, and very pleasent when we arrived. We felt very welcomed. The room was great! Clean, large, with jacuzzi tub and a view to die for. We spent the weekend on... More

Stayed at Ship Ashore this past weekend. Very pleased with the whole enviroment. The hotel is older but was very clean. The view is awesome, all rooms have a view of the Smith River and the ocean. Hotel manager was very friendly and very helpful. Also a big plus it is pet friendly and prices are great. I will definately... More
