Detailed Reviews
What a great old motel. Character galore. We stayed 6 nights, from 06/27 through this morning, 07/04/20. We had a 1 bdr kitchenette suite, #135. Full kitchen, w/dishes, pots, pans, toaster, tools. a huge microwave w/1200 watts, full size stove/oven, marble top, deep sink, great fridge w.super cold freezer, hot water to no end. Little dining table w/3 chairs, LR with love seat, chair, coffee table + end table, big TV on a chest of drawers, parking in front of the door. Great bathroom, toilet, shower/tub, marble top with deep sink, instant hot water, Separate bedroom with plenty of room on both sides with end tables on each and lamps, big TV on another chest of drawers, HBO, 6' wide closet. Manager Alyssa is sweet and has a cutie pie granddaughter, Right off the Megler bridge a cpl of blocks on HWY 101, so traffic noise is there, but the darkening shades also nearly kill the traffic sound. No riff raff there or around there, We'll be back

The motel was clean, and we liked that even the basic rooms were a bit like a suite, having a bed in a separate room that is great for a family where not everyone goes to bed at the same time. Good value for price.
We were a little disappointed that although it was so close to the river, there isn't much of a view from the motel.

Spacious second floor, two bedrooms with a kitchenette for a few dollars more. Stove worked, full size fridge, dishes and cooking pans. Microwave needed repair and base board heaters did not work. Rooms each had a plug in heater which worked well on the one chilly night. Beds comfortable, towels were soft. Best part was watching the ships on the Columbia. Would stay here agin.

Let me preface by stating that I have never posted a bad review and am very tolerant and non-confrontational. I am a seasoned traveler who is comfortable staying anywhere from rustic accommodations to fancy hotels. My only requirement is cleanliness.
That being said, we had a bad experience at the Astoria Rivershore that other travelers should be aware of. Upon arriving, we were a bit disappointed at the room looking nothing like the photos online. The furniture was worn out with scratches and finish worn off, the paint was peeling off the door trim, the carpet was stained, ceiling was peeling a bit, baseboards needed a dusting, and the (non smoking) room smelled musty and smoky.
This was not a deal breaker until we saw how truly dirty the room was. The first thing I do in any hotel is check the sheets. This was a shocker. First of all, one twin bed was made with no sheets on it. The 2nd twin bed had hairs all over the sheets. Worst of all, the queen bed had crumbs all over it, and several stains, including bloodstains. There were also crumbs all over the floor and hairs in the shower, including pubic hairs.
Upon calling the front desk, I explained the problem with the sheets that we needed clean sheets and sheets for the twin bed that was made with no sheets on it. She brought sheets in a bag (no twin sheets) and offered no apology or remorse whatsoever, even when she saw the sheets. No “I’m sorry,” or any kind of acknowledgement. She just said that the room “looked clean” when she walked through. To me this is most disturbing of all because it indicates that low standards for cleanliness and customer service are accepted by this establishment…this eroded my trust completely because what other unsanitary conditions might be ok with them? At at this point we did not trust that the room was sanitary overall and left for another motel.
I do not wish for an apology from the management as it is clear that the management truly does not care. I just want other travelers to be aware.

This motel is not as presented online. $200 per night is not budget friendly & the rooms are dingy at best. All amenities are very cheap, from toilet paper to box fans. There was no top sheet on our bed, just the sheet over the mattress and a blanket & comforter, which was stained. The chair & couch in the living room were also stained. Two boxed fans were provided as an alternative to air conditioning in the kitchenette suite. We placed one in the bedroom window to cool our room down but find it ridiculous to pay such a price for no a/c at a below quality motel. But, it gets better. At 8 am on Saturday night (a holiday weekend), someone begins to cut down (by hand) the overgrowth behind our room. They give up but return at 9:15 pm with a weed-eater to cut down more. Remember, the box fan is in the window! So not appropriate! I brought up the issues we had at check-out but the desk clerk was not concerned or apologetic. We had never been to Astoria before and based our motel stay on their website. Don't make the same mistake as we did. Steer clear and stay somewhere else. This was my hubby's birthday weekend and I was embarrassed with where I chose to stay to celebrate!

My stay was not bad, but the several times I required speaking with the front desk no one was there. Their bill does not break down the daily rates for the room, taxes, and fees.
After having issues with my reimbursement, I had to call 30 times in one day to get someone to answer, and sent several emails to their “reservation” address. It is a joke. I finally was able to reach someone and I gave them direct instructions for what I required in my bill breakdown and the period of the stay. Not only did they not give me the incorrect bill, but again did not have a breakdown of the charges.
The cleanliness, was okay at best. Like another reviewer on here, I too cleaned the unit and successfully rid the room of the beer and smoke smells. In addition, I cleaned the bath and bedroom.
I chose this motel due to having a kitchen and being affordable. If you take away anything from this review, pay the $100-200 extra charge for the big name hotels. Will save you the headache and aggravation later.

My stay at this hotel was unfortunately quite disappointing. The cleanliness of the rooms was far below expectations, with noticeable dirt and grime that made the environment less than inviting. Additionally, the beds were extremely uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a restful night's sleep. Overall, the lack of proper maintenance and the subpar comfort of the accommodations significantly detracted from the experience. Based on this, I would strongly recommend looking for alternative lodging options that offer a higher standard of cleanliness and comfort.

Elisa, the manager, was great! She was able to accommodate our need for a ground floor room, and even though we arrived late, checking in was effortless. We had left some things behind, which she saved for us (unlike other motels,which would have discarded them), and was able to secure another ground floor room for us when we returned to retrieve them. She was cheerful, patient, and kind, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and fit into our tight budget. We will definitely be returning. Thanks Elisa!

If I could give zero stars I would. The bigger girl that works there, who claims to be a manager, has the absolute worse attitude and customer service experience ever. After messing up our reservation, she absolutely refused to help make it right and refused to give us the information for the owners so that maybe they could help. SHE made the mistake of booking our room to somebody else and then blatantly lied and said we messed up even though we had a picture of what we booked. It’s bad enough that this is a crappy motel right on the noisy road but then to treat paying guest with such disrespect and have such a poor attitude is disgusting. I have a feeling if I was white things would be different oh and let’s not forget, nobody there was wearing masks except for us

Rooms are run-down and musty smelling; shoes stick to the floor; fridge and toilet make annoying noises; furniture is scuffed; TV was removed from bedroom; has an “ick” vibe. I won’t let anything touch the floor and I won’t sit on the upholstered furniture. Office lady has “attitude”; and WiFi doesn’t work!!! Pics on their site are not accurate. So bad, I tried to find another hotel.
