    What an incredible oceanfront location but in desperate need of a revamp…read more The rooms unfortunately don't match the beautiful setting. Our standard king was so rundown, with stained and stinky 70's carpet, mismatched 80s furniture, cheap plastic outdoor seats, and a mattress so old and uncomfortable I woke up in pain. The bed had extremely thin sheets and pillows, and a tiny shower you can't move around in. Our bathroom window and sliding glass door didn't close properly and I was praying a Ted Bundy type wasn't cruising the neighborhood. I somehow forgot to take pics but their images on their website are pretty accurate. The price was great at just over $120 on a busy July holiday weekend, and we also had direct access to the beach right out front. The pool and hot tub also provided ocean views. The entire property can use a lot of TLC. I love older and cozy spaces, but this place deserves a refresh to match its spectacular location. Nothing glamorous, it just needs to be functional, comfortable, and safe. 2.5 stars if I could.

This place could be really cute but needs an update. I think this is the first time I've ever been woke up by my daughter asking if we needed to call the police because the neighbor was moaning so loud that it sounded like a sea lion getting clubbed, at 6am in a Sunday morning! Absolutely gross! Will not be staying here EVER again. One star for location only.

    I stayed here a year ago and had a really nice time. Hostel experience is different than any other…read moreaccommodations. I love staying in hostels when the opportunity arises. I heard about this hostel and had planned a day in Eugene around wanting to stay here. There is no shortage of things to do in the area. I went hiking along highway 58, attended the mushroom festival, a death cafe, ecstatic dance and exploded the rose garden. If you're looking for things to do there was a calendar of local events that the staff had put together. This was how I found the death cafe. Everyone at the hostel was very respectful and helpful. I got a great nights rest. I loved getting to stay here and hope to stay again.

    I've stayed here several times, and it has steadily been getting more and more expensive, and less…read moreand less friendly. I recently booked a private room with a full bed, upon arrival, I was put into a room with bunk beds. I showed the lady at the front desk that my reservation was for a room with a full bed and that the photos on the website showed the same. She explained that they had recently renovated the room, and the website must not be updated yet. She had another room she could put me in with a full bed, but would charge me extra for that. The bunk beds have these small wooden shelves with sharp corners (see photos). I banged into them on a couple of occasions, though luckily not hard enough to cause injury. *** NOTE TO OWNERS: These are dangerous and you will end up with some injured patrons if you leave them. The pure apathy with regards to my room situation (which was an issue caused by mistakes on their website) was the final straw.

Perfect location, as the Sea Star is in close proximity to everything downtown; the room was quiet, intimate, very clean, with a romantic beachy ambiance (seemed recently remodeled). The bed was extremely comfortable and free Wi-Fi was a bonus. There is a small, beautifully designed courtyard and beyond it is the back entrance to an amazing wine bar / restaurant (Alloro's). The owners (Bill and Pat) were extremely friendly and helpful. We look forward to visiting again!

    HOSTEL - Sea Star - U (unaffiliated) (not part of Hostelling Intl.)…read more I'm a frequent hosteler, and The Sea Star Hostel was one of my Oregon coastal favorites. My favorite room had a loft spot to sleep, and was private with a great view of the harbor. Kitchen and lounge areas were clean and I met some nice hostelers too. If you enjoy hosteling, this is a good one to visit. They also rent full guesthouse rooms, separately, with views, but I have only stayed at the hostel. Hosteling is very different from hotelling, and it is NOT for everyone, so I would rate this 3 or 4 stars for a hostel, but if you compare it to a regular hotel, i have no idea. Hostels are not camping, not bed and breakfasts, but nor are they hotels or motels, so I have no idea really how to rate them, except hostel to hostel. Hosteling is affordable, social and educational. Someday I'd love to own a hostel.

The common…read moreareas such as the back porch, lobby lounge and attic reading area are comfortable and friendly. The staff is very well trained and helpful. We were especially pleased with the service from Miranda and Alex. Daily espresso service (gratis) was a huge bonus as well. Our only mistake was selecting the small studio room (Mystery) which was too small for two adults and a 40lb dog!

So it literally has everything going for it, along with cozy reading nooks, both in the lobby and in the attic on the fourth floor. This property also features a restaurant and community space on its lower level, which we did not utilize during our stay. We stayed in the Maya Angelou suite which is rather large compared to the other rooms and is oceanfront with a semi private balcony, all reasons why I selected it. Note: The bathroom in this suite is tiny, narrow and has an upper window located in the shower which is great for airflow and ventilation but faces the public balcony, so if the window is open and people are on that balcony, you will hear them. Overall we had a peaceful and relaxing stay, exactly what we needed. Our arrival was great. The person who checked us in was welcoming, friendly and super helpful. He gave us a restaurant recommendation that we went to and thoroughly enjoyed. But unfortunately the next day, that staff member was not present. Coffee service in the lobby was inconsistent, unreliable and the customer service was nonexistent. Two people were at the front desk and neither could be bothered to greet us. When we approached them it seemed as if they were bothered by our presence. This won't prevent me from coming back or recommending it because the setting was so lovely and the location is excellent, but I would be cautious of the inconsistent service that could possibly derail the experience.

Our Priceline Pre-paid price for 2 nights was $169. Pictures attached pretty much describe our dinky room. 1. Our beautiful view of the bay from the bathroom. Unfortunately the fan didn't work so our exquisite views were horribly limited. 2. A mirror over the sink designed for short people. The mirror is functional as it does reflect just fine. You just have to bend over. 3. A circa... perhaps1972 gorgeous vintage chair most likely refurbished with gorilla tape...perhaps in 1994? I now realize I could have paid a bit more and reserved that luxurious "queen room with sea view" and even gotten a bit more space to walk around the bed. Check-in went smooth. I walked in the small lobby looking for a bell but there is none. Within a minute a dude walked in and gave me an actual metal key. The dude is also the housekeeper and seemed to be out of breath. But he was a nice guy. There was some gagging and coughing from someone next door. Other than that, the main noise was from cars and trucks along highway 101. Thankfully, there were no drunken fights, screams, known drug deals or cops called during our 2-night stay. So why the 2 stars when honestly nothing really went wrong? I suppose I expected a bit more. No...not more like Days Inn or Travel Lodge quality. But a bit more like maybe consider the clientele doesn't value that vintage 1970s taped up chair? The room smell was just...creepy. Like a bad smell where no spray is going to work. Actually, that is why our room doors were open when we arrived LOL. Or maybe consider re-setting the bathroom mirror so anyone over 5'7 doesn't have to bend over? Oh yeah...when you sit on the toilet it reminds me of sitting on my chair in 1st grade. My guess is that this is a vintage toilet from the late 60s. Entertainment: You could probably take a hike up to the top of the McCullough Bridge and watch a ship pass under the bridge or maybe the Coos Bay Railroad swing span bridge that rotates 90 degrees to allow 3 trains-a-week train traffic over the bay. Grub: Hilltop House is nice, but I haven't dinned there since the 80s so take caution. Moms Kitchen is a better bet for breakfast or lunch. Be prepared to wait... If you can't wait, then I suggest the Pancake Mill.
