    Had dinner last night for the first time at the Sylvia Beach Hotel. We met four others and shared the table with another group of four. None of us were staying at the hotel! The restaurant has one dinner seating at 7pm. We had a reservation but only half the dining room was full on a rainy night in December. I knew we had ordered our entree in advance and figured out that other than drinks, there were no menus. It was really nice, actually, to not spend the first 10 minutes with heads in menus trying to decide what to order. We could just focus on visiting with our friends from out of town! We ordered wine and there was only one gal working the dining room so it took a while to get going. It was quite a long time before we got drinks. Once that was out of the way, however, the rest of the night was perfectly paced. They set a formal table and every piece of silverware got used! We started out with a sourdough bread and butter. Then an every so light and fluffy shrimp bisque that was creamy and delicious. Everything is served family-style so you pass bowls around but they usually brought two so you only had a wait a moment for the bowl to reach you. The dishes are nice too, china and crystal, it's very elegant. Next was a Greek salad with lots of Kalamata olives and feta cheese and slightly sweet dressing that was really good. The romaine lettuce was fresh and crisp. After salad, we were served the main course. Half of the table had ordered steaks, the other half the salmon cakes, and one got a vegetarian entree which was a mushroom souffle. The salmon cakes were pretty amazing. A light breading and flavorful fish with a strong garlic and dill cream. With the entree, there were steamed vegetables and really yummy scalloped potatoes. I like the family style because you can try many things without eating too much but if you have a big appetite, there's always more. Every dish was always cleared before the new round came out and it was very nicely paced. Our gal kept the water poured and made sure we had everything we needed. For dessert, she brought out regular coffee, decaf and hot tea. We had an incredible almond cake with a dollop of pink whipped cream on the side. It was so good! I thought I was too full for dessert but ate every bite. So did everyone else. Overall, a very lovely evening with great food. The dining room as much quieter than many restaurants, too, so we were able to talk to everyone at the table.

They do have an elevator by the lobby. -Poo on not having an available flashlight. As it was mentioned in the binder in room.

So that's disappointing. The pillows are very firm and puffy which wasn't nice, and the restaurant in the hotel wasn't the best. The good: Stunning views of the beach. Our huge two person soaking tub was AMAZING. Bed was comfortable, staff were extremely friendly! The room was spacious and fun. Fire place was cozy! Just 80 steps down a staircase to the beach. Awesome ocean wave sounds all night. Has coffee, tea, and even a bag of microwave popcorn complimentary for guests. We would come back for sure! We got winter rates as we went in February. Fridays and weekends are more expensive just so you know! Pretty nice stay, I don't know that I would call it a resort. It is pretty much your basic Oregon coast hotel maybe just a tad nicer.

Pros: We had a nice spacious 3rd floor room with a great view of the beach. The hotel has nice amenities like great toiletries that smell lovely, nice robe and a balcony plus a fireplace. Shower had 3 separate water nozzles which was fun! (Although took a minute to figure out how to use) Heated infinity Jacuzzi pool was wonderful! Fire pits near the pool also great! The front desk people were all very nice. The place was clean and they had cookies in the lobby that we tried one day (yum!) Cons: I was disappointed that they apparently did away with the made to order breakfast that they have pictured in their website. Instead of the items pictured was a Continental breakfast delivered in little plastic containers in a box. It was not bad taste wise, and I definitely appreciated the hard boiled egg as a bit of protein along with all the carbs. But it would have been nice to know of this change before booking. Price is fairly high for the cold month of March. We asked about the sofa bed getting set up for our 3rd person in the room and were told we needed to make it ourselves. For the price we paid it would have been nice that they could have sent someone to set up the sofabed, that was weird, and unexpected. Kind of felt like something a much lower end hotel would ask you to do. I debated between 3 and 4 stars since there were both good and bad points. If there was a 3.5 stars option this is what i'd choose honestly. I'd come back again but only if I got a much better rate.

The last visit was phenomenal…read more Based on the prior experience my wife and I decided to return to this location with high expectations. We were not disappointed. I started this experience with the Whiskey Fog. This is an absolutely fantastic start for the evening, see the photos for the description of this cocktail and watch the video to see the presentation. I had tried this cocktail on the last visit and I have been dreaming about it ever since. This cocktail was every bit as perfectly executed as the first one I tried. From the presentation I the last swallow was absolutely perfect. Next was the appetizer. I selected the Deviled Eggs. I chose the Southwest, Dill Pickle, and Sweet Bourbon Bacon. They were flavorful and well prepared and the presentation was excellent. A very impressive start of the meal. I highly recommend this item. Please see the photos for the description and presentation. For the main dish I selected the Prosciutto Scallops. I do not order Scallops very frequently because I am seldom satisfied with the outcome. Scallops are very easily over cooked. However I felt adventurous and intrigued by the menu's description of the dish. I was not disappointed in the least. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the layers of flavor are very well balanced, perfectly executed, and well thought out. There again, the presentation was excellent. Please see the photos for the description of the dish and the presentation. My wife ordered the Orange Cauliflower and the Stir Fried Quinoa. She in the past has worked at a number of very high end restaurants that serve very sophisticated palates. It is not uncommon for her to spot unfavorable qualities in the cuisine the she is served. She also understands the difficulties involved with restaurants that endeavor to create higher quality food. That being said she was impressed and completely satisfied with her experience. I would like to thank Alli C. our server for the evening. Her hospitality and attentiveness were outstanding. She was definitely a major factor in our very enjoyable evening. I highly recommend this location if you are in Newport Oregon and are looking for a very relaxing and enjoyable dining experience.

The bar was amazing and they have pretty much any level of quality in liquor that you maybe wanting. I would gladly return here for another stay.

When we first arrived and checked in, the owner happened to be there. He was very welcoming and friendly. He detailed a lot of the accommodations, and gave great food recommendations for the local area as well. The office had plenty of movies to borrow, as well as some toiletries for sale. They had candy and popcorn for sale too. And there was a very handy spice rack you could borrow from. There are only six condos on the property, so it is a pretty cozy experience, and the customer service is very attentive overall. The condo itself was great! It was very clean, especially for a "beachside resort". There's a small bedroom and bathroom downstairs with a shower, as well as a decent sized kitchen with everything you would need to cook. The dining area has a great view of Agate Beach. And the living area was cozy to relax in, with a gas fireplace to heat the place up. When going up the stairs, there's a cute nook to relax and read a book in while looking out over the ocean/beach. Upstairs has the master bedroom and bathroom. The jacuzzi tub was awesome! Maybe my only complaint about the entire condo is that the bed in our master bedroom wasn't the most comfortable, but I also admit I can be picky about my mattress. Immediately when leaving the room, there's a long flight of decently maintained stairs leading out to Agate Beach. Be prepared to wade through some shallow water to get out to the beach proper! At the top of the stairs is a patio area with barstools to sit at and enjoy. Every night, there is a small campfire and complimentary s'mores. We never saw anyone else out at it, but the wife and I enjoyed relaxing by it for a couple of nights. They have a great park-like area to walk your dog by the campfire (the condos are dog friendly!) There looked to be some horseshoe pits and some other outdoor games you could play too. The paths are all well maintained and the landscaping is pretty. Location wise, Starfish Point is close to perfect. Just outside of town, so very nearby stores and restaurants. You're right down the road from the lighthouse and a 9 hole golf course. And of course, you have Agate Beach right there to walk to! It is just off 101, so you would deal with some road noise if you're out in the park area (which is closer to 101), but you can't hear anything from your condo. 10/10 experience to be had at starfish point, I would definitely stay here again!

Housed in a beautifully converted beach house in a charming small waterfront town in Oregon, each room is thoughtfully themed after a different author. Staying here feels like stepping into a story. The attention to detail is exceptional without ever feeling gimmicky & oh so cozy, intelligent, and genuinely inspiring. I stayed over Christmas Eve and Christmas with my dog, and the experience was exceptional. This place is truly dog-friendly in ways that actually matter -- personalized food and water bowls, a huge and incredibly comfortable pet cushion, treats, and bags provided for walks and clean-up. The surrounding downtown is also wonderfully walkable, with several nearby coffee shops happy to offer pup cups, which made mornings even better. The manager, Blake, and staff member Alex are outstanding -- kind, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. They create an environment that encourages relaxed, thoughtful conversation among guests and staff alike, giving the hotel a warm, communal feel that's rare and memorable.
