The Hotel Elliott is a very nice restored hotel in downtown Astoria. If you want a central location to the downtown area, it is perfect. It is also extremely well located if you would like to attend the Sunday Market, as it is located literally at the front door steps of the hotel.
The interior design of the renovated rooms was nicely done. Good taste in colors, materials, and trim. Nice flat screen TV in bedroom.
Furnishings were pretty well done...although coffee tables and nightstands seemed a little nicked up, like an overnighter had knocked suitcases into them one too many times. What do I know though...maybe they were just a little "antiqued". Even though banged up a little, still nice quality.
The bathroom was absolutely incredible, with just about every detail taken into account. Nice, high-end materials were used for everything, from the granite counters to the heated stone / travertine floors. Kohler products galore. Very nice.
Was everything perfect? No. Couple nit picks: other than the glass shower door handle, there wasn't ONE other towel rack. So, you walk into a gorgeous bathroom, just to find a stack of 4-5 towels and hand cloths stacked on the toilet. Just a little odd.
Also, in our room, which featured a nice separate sitting area from the bedroom, the TV was sitting on top of a mini-fridge. Now don't get me wrong, having a little fridge in the room is handy, if you're staying for multiple nights like we did. But from an aesthetic point of view, just a little odd. Here's this big TV sitting on a brown, backyard patio used-looking mini-fridge. No built in cabinet for the fridge. No custom TV shelving on top of the fridge. Just a TV resting on a little metal brown fridge. The point I'm making is, it just seemed out of place, with everything else so nice and well done.
Even with these nit picks, the overall experience was positive. I would definitely stay again, and plan to do so in August, when I'm back up for a wedding that I'm attending.
