    A local flower
    Adrian R.

    Let's start by setting our expectations and standards to that of Crescent City California (low). The natural beauty of the area is what we are here for. This means the California Redwoods and the ocean. I've never had much luck with outstanding hotels or dining in this area. Camping or a cabin is the way to go. There are a lot of 2 star reviews, and understandably so. The property is looking pretty rough, but the location can't be beat. Why I'm going to give this property a four star review: My wife and I were on a special, healing weekend. The room we occupied was literally feet from the ocean. We were able to open the sliding door of our room onto a small balcony and take in breathtaking views of the ocean and the Battery Light House. We were able to access the beach and also retreat to the safety of our room. The sliding door stayed open most of the time (we were on the second floor). The bed was large and comfortable. You could sit on the bed and look into the expanse of the ocean. The room was clean and spacious. It had a hard flooring and not gross carpet. A tent on the beach would have been miserable. It was pretty windy and cold the first day. This room was super cool for our purposes. We went on a hike at the Grove of the Titans and the connecting Mill Creek Trail the next day. The staff were super friendly. We checked in with them and checked out with them. I don't think complaining about the hotel being worn down would have served us well. Again, this was not our typical chain Marriott experience but it was still a very awesome weekend, that served our purpose very well.

    Sunset is amazing - right behind the hotel!!

    We've stayed here multiple times - even when it was a Hampton Inn early when built. The location, amenities, oceanfront, balcony, lighthouse , being able to walk on the beach, listen to the waves while sleeping, seeing the lighthouse at work at night is all the reason we come. Anyone can pick at things the hotel does not control, but looking at the experience and not the little things is why we have a great experience here. This trip (29Dec24) found the hotel busy. Finally stopped raining after a week or so. No more 30 foot waves and low tide !! Walk to the lighthouse at low tide only. Covered in water other times. The room had a balcony - we paid extra for the balcony and rocking chairs ! No carpet on our rooms, so very clean. Memory foam mattress is clearly not everyone's thing but they are comfy. Shower has lots hot water and lots of pressure. Our room was clean. Staff is friendly - even though they are always short handed. Hard to find quality employees in such a city. Being able to walk out the back door to be on the beach is amazing. The restaurant (shorthanded too) can be a wait - but sitting on the water makes it bearable! A bar / decent menu - all make it a great stay for us. We overlook the small stuff to have a oceanfront - every room looking at the ocean for less than $200 a night a great deal - even if you wait a bit - or see a mess another guest made. The experience is what makes us return. The sunset alone is worth the effort to stay here. Every other hotel in this town is farther away and closer to the highways.

    Older hotel that is in need of some renovation. Our room wasn't too bad, just outdated. The location of it was awesome considering it was right next to the beach, lighthouse and pier. Upon arriving though after check in, when I got to our room the door was open and there was a towel on the bed. The front desk though gave me a new room with no issue. The only thing that I would suggest is for them to explain that you need to use the fob to enter the room. After trying for 5 min with the card, that was attached to the fob, I went back downstairs to say my key was not working when he explained to me that I needed to use the fob.

    Carpets, rooms and general building is dirty. No breakfast. Good views of the ocean and light house.

    We had a view of the working lighthouse from our bed, and the balcony had ROCKING LAWN CHAIRS!

    Spent three nights here, and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again... no issues with the room... we…read moredid have an upgraded room with balcony towards the water and a jacuzzi tub. This room also had a VERY big nice TV - much larger TV than in the other rooms! This was our first time to Crescent City and of course we wondered if the fog horn would be a problem (especially given the "warning" on the hotel website). It wasn't an issue for us - but we didn't sleep with the door to the balcony open or anything. You can definitely hear it... but it's not super loud and/or overbearing... when I think "foghorn" I usually think about the super loud blaster that they use at 49er games or something, but this wasn't that at all - not even close! The TV was a little bit of a challenge to figure out, but we figured it out eventually. I can't say that I was crazy about the bathroom layout... with the sink part being in the main room, but the upside to that is there was a LOT of counter space, much more than would have been available otherwise. After a little reflection, I realized there really wasn't a better way to lay things out. I just had to get used to it... and now, I wouldn't hesitate to get the same room again.

    Would not recommend…read more Service: Checked in on a Sunday night. We were hoping to modify our reservation to check out one day early. Ryan at the front desk indicated that while he technically could modify our reservation, we'd have to go through Expedia since we booked with them - sure, not a problem. I talk to an Expedia agent who says yep, we should be able to modify the reservation. They call the Oceanview Inn, speak with Ryan, who says nope, no can do. When I went back to the lobby (still on the night of check-in) to ask Ryan what happened, he became confrontational. The staff here are unwilling to help their guests or make even minor modifications to reservations, even for services that have not and will not be rendered. Location: Convenient location close to the beach, highway, and Redwood National Park. Other than the national park there is very little to do in Crescent City. Not many good restaurant options. Room: Antiquated. Hasn't been updated in 25 years, uncomfortable bed. The upgraded room we reserved was quite large, however, the walls are thin and we could hear our neighbors all night. Also, the fog horn blows every 8 seconds. Walking to & from the room we noticed the hallways smell like strongly of urine.

    I was here in 2024, staying overnight. At that time, my girlfriend said she didn't feel the towels…read morewere 100% clean. Of course she had negative opinions about everything, and that's why she's an ex. Lol I personally liked the room myself, with no complaints. Here again, 2026, I didn't make a reservation. I walked in and asked a very charming woman if they had any rooms available, and lucky for me, they did. $93.50 for the night, in a very large room #250, with all the amenities you would need: Ice bucket, hot water and/or coffee/tea maker, microwave, mini fridge (empty for your own beverages, etc.), heater/AC, TV with remote, queen size bed, desk, cabinet with drawers, two night stands with night lights, blow dryer, 3 sink towels, 2 sink towels to remove makeup, two body towels, a wash cloth, floor towel, and the bed was so comfortable. If you like Latinx food, across the street is an authentic Mexican restaurant (Perlita's Mexican Restaurant). The Bayview Inn front desk manager said that was restaurant has good reviews. I bought 3 nice size tacos for $17. Anyway, the Bayview Inn has a very large parking lot. I give a rating of 5-stars because I found the place to be welcoming, and the room to be clean and comfortable. When in the city again, I'll definitely stay here.

    People complaining about having our dog, not excessively barking, people complaining to us anytime…read morewe took her outside to potty or just simply going to and from our room, she's a friendly, non aggressive Labrador. The room was literally at the top of the stairs which it was not quite and everytime someone came up the stairs my dog would bark and then people would complain. Also we where literally packing the rest of the stuff up it just hit 11 am and people where knocking at the door to clean and 11:01 am they where calling us. I have never stayed somewhere that this has ever happened. Most hotels have a little grace period of 10-15 mins, it would go along way with customers. Would not recommend at all.
