We enjoyed an April getaway to the Central Oregon Coast and chose the Salishan for its location and rating of 4 stars. The location was great in terms of heading south on the coast for day trips and also a little North. The rooms felt like a classy cabin from the 1960s and I mean that in a good way. Our deluxe room had a beautiful view of the Siletz Bay with 2 rocking chairs and a large balcony that felt like you were the only people their due to its privacy. The bird watching was excellent from the room with all of the trees. The grounds were reminiscent of our trip to Japan with excellent manicure and coastal trees.
We enjoyed the pool and had it to ourselves most days. The hot tub was very large and the fitness area was good. The lobby was warm and had a lodge feel. Overall we had a great week stay here.
The primary reason I would not return to this hotel is the distance from the ocean. They say its a 10 minute walk, but I would say a 10 minute jog. The ocean is so beautiful here and next time I would certainly want to just step out of my room onto the ocean. This fact they cannot change , but people should be aware of it.
The hotel boasts a 4 star rating, but compared to other 4 star hotels they had a few misses. The rooms were a great walking distance from the main lodge, so it felt like you were at a motel and often wouldn't get to walk through the nicely maintained. Housekeeping was minimal and we had to request things 4 or 5 times that should have been provided like new shampoo after staying 4 days. The coffee table in the room was faux stone and an outdated TV also made the property not feel luxury.
Despite the minor criticisms, I would recommend this hotel if you dont mind being a little bit from the ocean. The rooms were huge 580 sq ft, the bathrooms nicely updated and each one had a fireplace. You will feel like you are at a cabin near the sea, it was a great retreat.
Room Tip: I would request a bay view room, it was divine.
