Up to see a beach house to possibly buy. But as a last resort stayed here in Hoquiam. Holiday Weekend limited options. It's not where I'd stay if I had a choice but it's decent enough in a pinch there's certainly a lot worse motels in the area. Having grown up on the Harbor. I know it far to well. But there are better options (Ocean Shores area). But 3 weekends a year most are all booked up.
So if quiet, decent and cheap is your need stay here.
My wife and I were visiting family in the Hoquiam/Aberdeen area for Thanksgiving and needed somewhere to stay. Obviously we chose the EconoLodge. The owner was very nice and welcoming when we checked in around 3:30 on Thanksgiving day. We chose a queen size bed room option and were happy to be placed on the 2nd Floor. The roof has an A-frame so the room felt larger than you'd expect. It had a couch, a fridge, a TV, etc. It didn't lack anything.
I'd say about 20 cars were in the parking lot when we came back around midnight, so we knew we had some neighbors. It was really quiet until about 7AM when people were waking up/shutting doors. Again, to be expected. All I wish I had was a fan to create some white noise.
We would stay here again. It felt like a nice place to stay for a night and didn't cost us over $100. I've always enjoyed the Aberdeen/Hoquiam area and I hope it can continue to get better; places like this help.
I really didn't want to spend $200 a night in the Olympic National Park. Thought I would stay in Hoquiam and save some bucks. That I did @ $79 + tax for one night. I really wasn't expecting much and was very pleasantly surprised. I usually request first floor, but the gentleman behind the counter didn't hear my request and put me on the second floor (the hotel only has two floors). Turns out I really liked it, the high beam ceiling made the spacious room even bigger. The bed was super comfortable, the shower head was excellent (and lots of hot waters). I used the refridge and microwave. Didn't use the coffee maker (I got coffee in the lobby). Needed ice for my small cooler, ice machine was working. The Wi-Fi was fast (I had to do some work). The place was really quiet (didn't hear a peep all night). I would stay here again as a jump off place for heading north, into the Olympic Peninsula.
We used this basic motel on Hwy 101 as an in between stop between Olympic and Portland. We got a good deal. The personal is friendly and the rooms are clean and spacious. The motel is located outside of Aberdeen and is quite quiet in the night (it might not be the best area in town but we felt safe). The breakfast had a little more selection than we had in most motels on our 3 weeks trip. Would recommend it.
The room was the last one they had... it was a bit to big for us.... it would be great for a large family there were 3 beds.. a hid a bed a regular and a bed in a spare room and also a big kitchen stove and all We paid way to much for it since it was a last minute... think lady knew she could charge what ever she wanted
