This place is great. I was overwhelmingly impressed with the city Manzanita. If your looking for a place to escape, this is it. Our room was small but not crowded. Nice bed and decent sized bathroom. Small oven with 4 burner top and a small fridge. Enough utinsels in the room to accomplish almost any cooking need. Was so nice... More

The motel looks straight out onto the Pacific, so you can watch the weather roll in. And if it's clear, you can watch the sunsets. The motel is dog-friendly and the beach is right across the street. The room was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The commercial strip in town, with the restaurants and shops, are just... More

Location is the best feature of this hotel. You are within easy walking distance to downtown and beach access is just across the street. We stayed in the old section in a king bed room. Our room had fantastic ocean front view. Being the old section the room needed updating. The room was noisy as you could easily hear your... More

This was a delightful stay. Very nice staff. Clean room. Not very expensive. Compared with the other super expensive places in Manzanita this place was on the beach. I will definetly be back to this hotel.

Manzanita is a sweet little seaside town with a handful of nice stores and a couple of decent restaurants. It's quiet alternative to the relative bustle of Cannon Beach. As might be expected for a town of this size, there isn't very much of a choice when it comes to lodging. That's why I'm glad I discovered the Sunset Surf... More

Our room was in the “original” building, so it was probably the most dated. The price was lower, but you do get what you pay for. We had a one-bedroom unit, but in the bedroom there was literally just a bed (queen). No dresser, no nightstands, not even a folding luggage rack. The tiny closet had two plastic hangers. It... More

The room & bed smelled of insecticide. The bathroom had dry rot, dirt was piled up along baseboards & corners. Bathtub/shower very old & showing lots of wear. Lighting was terrible with very low wattage bulbs. Major renovations need to be made. We moved after just one night into a much cleaner motel.

There are 3 buildings. We had a suite with kitchen facilities and a beach view. Building and furniture showed signs of age but then rooms are more spacious than newer hotels/motels at similar price range. Had WiFi but pretty weak.

We have been coming here for 2 years now and absolutely love it. Upon first arrival we were put in the original building which was small, old, and awful thus requested a change, and were then put into the budd building. 102-106 and 202-206 have beautiful large doors with a view of the ocean. 101, 107, 201 and 207 do...

We stayed in the Original building. We had the room with the best view in the whole building. Our room was above the office and literally across the street from the beach. It was a studio with a king sized bed and a mini kitchen. 4 picture windows with a fantastic view of the beach. Other rooms in the Original... More
