This beautiful B & B sits high on a hill overlooking the town and bay . The view was great and the host and breakfast were wonderful. We had the Cape Mears room, which had a view of the bay. Only one chair makes it hard to find a comfortable place for two people to sit. We missed our internet and TV, but had a wonderful time in the town. We rode the trolley, walked the river, climbed the column and visited the Lewis and Clark Fort.

We spent 2 nights in the Cape Lookout room. What a view! The Columbia River below us, with all the barges and sailboat traffic -- it was spectacular, and we could even hear the returning sea lions barking at a local marina. (If you don't want to hear the sea lions, request a room on the back side of the building.)

Mickey, the owner, is an absolute delight, warm and friendly, knowledgeable about all the activities in Astoria and nearby areas, as well as a fantastic cook. She has a never-empty cookie jar on the kitchen counter, coffee, hot chocolate, and a wide assortment of teas are available most of the time.

Breakfast, served at 9 am, was delicious and completely different both days we were there. The first day she served a crustless quiche with homemade salsa and sour cream, pink grapefruit juice, chicken sausages, and great cottage potatoes; the second morning, we were treated to Dutch babies (puffy apple pancakes) with fresh fruit and sausage links, as well as orange juice. We never needed to think about lunch until 2 pm or later, breakfast was so good and so hearty.

With everyone having breakfast together, it made for a convivial time. The first morning, we talked to Mickey and another couple staying there, spending 1-1/2 hrs talking, before we all reluctantly tore ourselves away. No doubt guests are welcome to "eat and run" if they so desire, but they are also welcome to linger if they choose.

The rooms were comfortable and cozy, and the sitting room on the second floor stocked with a wide variety of books, as well as comfortable overstuffed chairs.

We had a great time! When we return to Astoria, we will definitely stay at the Astoria Inn.

Wonderfully decorated with Victorian charm, we stayed in the ground floor room which had an African theme. The room was quiet and the owner was so friendly and accommodating. She's been having trouble getting her internet provider to update her website so I recommend just call her and book a room! The breakfast was outstanding and the other guests made for lively conversation at the breakfast table. One caveat, I think breakfast was fixed at 9am, so if you need a different time you might have to ask her if that's ok.

Thanks Mickey, for letting us stay in your home. After a long day's drive from Canada, we were made to feel right at home. We passed by the Astoria Inn by accident and after one look at this beautiful house, decided to stay for the night. We weren't disappointed. You immediately feel the ambience, charm and character of this heritage house once you step in. I especially loved keeping Blossom's ears warm while I was enjoying my breakfast. We wished we could've stayed longer.
