We have stayed at this motel many times and it has always been a pleasure. The rooms are dated, but they are clean, well maintained and the linens are always fresh. This motel is a good buy. The owner is always friendly. The view is spectacular.

This motel is outside of town but we found it more quiet and peaceful.  We had the view room and it was very spacious with a separate sitting area and an awesome view of the water thru sliding glass doors.  Bathroom amenities included shampoo and body lotion.  Room had microwave, refrig, coffee maker with tea and coffee packets. Beds were... More

I discovered the Crest Motel many years ago, and it remains my favorite primarily because of the view. The rooms are older than the new motels, but in comparison, I will always choose Crest. The hot tub is wonderful, and the people are friendly.

I stayed in the family room upon arrival to Astoria. It had a separate bedroom and two twin beds in the main room. Yes, it needs updating, yes it's an old-fashioned motel style property. But the prices can't be beat. The staff was super friendly and accomodating. The property itself is located... yes, on the crest of a hill overlooking... More

Okay the rooms are aging (think mid-century exterior with 80's interior) but....they were clean and the view overlooking the river was perfect--the beautiful October sunset made it extra special. The hotel is a short drive from the center of Astoria--it only took only 4 min. to drive to our restaurant AND park. You choose this Motel for the awesome view... More

was as promised. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Suggest you get room on second floor. Running water noise and foot traffic noise very loud on first floor.

Stayed here for one night on a trip heading down the coast. Couldn't find a room in town at a reasonable rate, so decided to stay here instead. If you loved the 1980s, you'll like this place. Small '80s TV (maybe 23" screen), groovy '80s microwave, sad oak veneer '80s furniture. And the weird old motel smell. We were in... More

This is an older motel that has been kept up quite nice. They advertise a continental breakfast with your room. But it's not much. Muffins, coffee and juice in the office. Our room was clean and had been updated some. The main complaint we had, were the very noisy pipes. Everytime the person next door flushed the toilet, or took... More

The hotel is a little older and dated, but in good shape. The room was clean and tidy when we checked in. The biggest surprise was opening the blinds and being knocked out by the view. Astoria, the Columbia, the Astoria-Megler bridge, all in view like a postcard. And then we got the treat of one of the most amazing... More
