I was staying at the Polynesian resort so it was super convenient that I was able to just walk here. I ordered breakfast to go since I was planning on heading out before the restaurant opened for breakfast. I appreciate that they accommodated my slightly complex order. The crab and spinach benedict looked good and tasted good. The hash browns were crispy but a bit under seasoned. The eggs were perfect and had runny yolk after I bursted them. This crab/spinach/egg combo works very well. The crab tastes very good and the spinach added a good textural component. The hollandaise sauce looks a bit funny (maybe it split?) but still tastes good. I like the benedict a lot but wish it had more crab. Service wise, the only hiccups that I experienced were that I asked for ketchup but it never arrived and I was too lazy to get up to ask again. They also ran out of to-go coffee cups so they took it off my bill. Overall I had a good experience and really enjoyed the benedict.

First time staying at an Inn/AirBNB type place. At first, it felt strange to let ourselves into this big beautiful house and to be the only ones there. But the better half grew up going to Inns and Bed and Breakfast type places and she was all in. NICE. That is the main word I would use to sum up The Collins. Especially with how well they took care of us for our anniversary. Every little detail was thought out and taken care of. The lady who was working there while we were there could not have been better. Super nice and attentive. WE LOVED THE COLLINS. I have been going to Ocean Shores my entire life but always stayed on the main hotel strip. The Collins is on the backside of Ocean Shores and very secluded from the tourist-y parts of the town. The house is gorgeous. A huge house with so many different things in it to do right across the street from the beach. The Collins has that beautiful, awesome Ocean Shores beach aesthetic while also being a very upscale, beautiful inn. My favorite thing about The Collins [aside from the hot tub] is just how well thought out everything is. From the all day snacks and breakfast. To every little touch they add. The people who created and run The Collins are obviously big fans of this type of Inn and really worked hard to create their ultimate image of it. And you can feel that in every little detail of The Collins experience. We also liked the french toast, Starbucks egg bites and all of the things they give you for breakfast here. The pastries were my favorite but we liked everything. We were also incredibly impressed at our room fridge having some nice juice and snacky type options. The better half and I loved this experience. We had such a nice time here. The hot tub, the wine, the chocolates, the kick ass shower, the nice breakfast and snacks. If you're looking for a great experience with your special person, it's hard to think of a better option than The Collins. I've stayed in pretty much every hotel in Ocean Shores and The Collins is definitely at the top of the list if you want a nice, beautiful, relaxing, memorable experience for you and your special person.

Array of gambling paper plays/pull tabs. A place to enjoy talking to the friendly local new friends you will make.

Pretty much the only provider of late night burgers and specialty sandwiches in the area. Full bar. Widmer and other beers on tap were very fresh. Great prices. The lady bartender even remembered me when I came back the next couple of evenings and also my Widmer beer preference. A busy and welcoming neighborhood hang-out!

I ordered the seafood fettuccine, cheese curds and Brussels sprouts. The serving sizes of the pasta and sprouts was for 2 people. I inhaled the pasta dish, so incredibly tasty. The seafood was fresh, and there was just one small hard bit of clam shell but that happens when serving them on the shell. Jumbo shrimp wasn't expected and seemed to have been swimming that morning. Tasty salmon. Divine sauce, which I don't think I've ever thought of an Alfredo before. Quality cheese. The sprouts were roasted/blackened, and tasted great. A bit of fried onions, I think, sprinkled on top that I just ate around (just not for me). Cheese curds were still hot and fresh with marinara and a BBQ sauce I added. Leftovers fed me lunch the next day. It was one of those meals where I was ful but wanted to keep eating, it was so delicious.

The service seemed friendly overall, but there were moments that said otherwise. When a glass of water was spilled right in front of the server, she didn't offer any extra napkins or help clean the table. My pasta was worse than Domino's. I didn't even take it to go -- it was completely bland, and the shrimp were tough. My aunt ordered fish with vegetables, and the carrots were clearly burnt. At first, I thought maybe it was some kind of preparation style I didn't understand, but no -- they were simply burnt. Honestly, it's especially disappointing because I had recommended this place to my friends before. I live a few hours away and came here partly for good food, but even being very hungry after the long wait didn't make the meal any better. The oysters were also flavorless. On top of that, I didn't feel well after dinner and had stomach pain. I can't say for sure it was caused by the food, but it definitely added to the negative experience.

Essentially every seat is an ocean view. The center of the room is raised so you can still see over everyone. I got the croissant sandwich, which came with hash brown as well. The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery. Hash browns were cooked well. Lightly crispy on the outside, but not to the point of tasting burnt. In my croissant sandwich, I got my eggs over easy, which may have been a mistake. As soon as I took a bite, the yolks exploded all over my hands. It was hilariously messy, but the runny yolk paired so well with the hash browns. But yeah I had to finish off that sandwich real quick to prevent further damage. My wife had the biscuits and gravy, which she was very pleased with. Biscuits were slightly crispy on the outside, and it came with two whole biscuits cut in half, so 4 pieces total, with a heaping portion of gravy. To finish off the meal, I had to try some of their sourdough toast. I am very glad I didn't skip that. It was delectably buttery. I added some blackberry jam on that thing and woo boy now that's a finisher. It was honestly so good, I'd consider just ordering toast, croissant, and hash browns next time and skipping out on the meat haha. Our server Melanie was incredibly sweet. Got us refills on all of our drinks, checked in each time she passed through, and took good care of us. Overall, very solid breakfast, great service, and a nice view :)

This is probably mostly due to the lack of cleanliness and care from the cleaning staff. Checked into my room and it had an infestation of lady bugs. Dozens of them. The room also smelled very badly. I immediately went back to the front desk and the supervisor at the desk (Tyler I believe ) helped me get into another room. He definitely had an attitude about it. Very unfriendly and smug. The next room was visibly dirty. Toothpicks and food all over the floor. The bed looked like it was made by a three year old. Under and around the AC unit there's visible mold growth. Probably why I woke up with a sore throat. The homeless population is still a problem and zero is done to resolve it. They still have hideouts in the bushes on the ocean side on the left side of the pier. I got a salmon dinner for $30 and if I wasn't so hungry from not eating all day I would have complained. Simply terrible. On top of all this.. the slots are very tight. Not one single time in the last decade of coming here have I left in the positive. I'd be very surprised if this place is around for another decade.
