    Memorial honoring Dennis L. Edwards whom lost his life during the construction of the Dennis L. Edwards Tunnel
    Kenneth K.

    Sunset Rest Area is located 31 miles East of Seaside, Oregon, on highway 26. A fairly large rest area for both autos and truckers. The rest stop is in a park settings with clean restrooms, picnic areas and vending machine. What makes this rest stop different from most is that the Steam Donkey Trail can be accessed from the rest area. The trail got its name from steam donkeys which are steam powered winches (logging engine) used in the area over a century ago! Wonderful rest stop with a lot of history! Let's go hiking ! Enjoy !

    Unfortunately for us Garmin actually got confused and took us to two different locations before finding this beautiful rest stop.

    Close to the beach (but right on the highway) is really the only positive thing I have to say about…read morethis place. It was filthy (long hairs on bathroom floors, dust everywhere and visibly on furniture). My husband tried to surprise me with a night away with a friend at Rockaway Beach. Based on the pics in the advertisement I would have booked it as well...but it was not as described. Horrible night sleep as well with both bedroom windows right next to the highway and a food truck. My friend and I tried to just laugh about it and enjoy the night regardless, but will never stay here again. Had potential, but literally looked like they tried to buy a few new decorations to cover the fact that this place needs some major TLC before it's ready to have guests again.

    Your unit was filthy and uncomfortable. If we had read the reviews before booking we would have…read morenever stayed here. Your floors were completely disgusting with dirt in every room. We had to wear socks the whole time in order to keep our feet clean. You need a new broom. Your broom did not help with the dirt. All it did was smear it around and made it worse. The sheets were not clean. They did not smell clean nor looked clean. All of your pillow cases were turned inside out and put back on the pillows. Not good. The linen for the hyda bed was thrown into the cabinet and not folded. Your dishes were not clean as well. One of your plates had shards of glass on it. Again...not GOOD! PLEASE PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET NEW HOUSEKEEPING!!! We witnessed her come in for other rooms and not do a dang thing but tinker around and vape. We will never stay here again nor will our family and friends.

    This is a group or cute bungalow cabins that are even better inside…read more Great decor inside. Nice little thank you bag on check in full of small treats. Can't go wrong coming here.

    Writing this review because I have never been able to get over the traumatic and humiliating…read moretreatment I experienced at this property years ago. I stayed here to attend a close friend's wedding, but instead of celebrating, I was forcibly removed from the hotel while trying to travel with my medical service animal. During the eviction incident, staff members filmed me on their personal devices while aggressively claiming my dog did not 'look like a service dog.' For context, I live with a severe, invisible cardiac condition (SVT) that causes dangerous heart rate spikes. My dog was trained to track my physical distress to ensure my safety. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service animals do not require a specific breed or a mandatory vest. Management went so far as to hunt down my personal social media. They found a lighthearted, sarcastic inside joke I had posted for friends pretending to sneak my late mother's puppies into another while she was battling colon cancer, and tried to weaponize it as evidence of a 'history' to retroactively justify their real-time discrimination against a disabled guest. Being recorded in a moment of medical vulnerability, forced out during a wedding weekend, and ultimately cyberstalked by hotel management was way too far. It was absolutely devastating. I am sharing this so that other individuals traveling with service animals or invisible illnesses are aware of how this establishment treats its guests.

    Hunter's is a great, local staple to Naselle. The burgers are great! The fish 'n chips are decent…read more I used to love their chicken, but the last time I had it, it was bland, so now I stick with a burger or their BLT! Best BLT on their pub bun...chock full of bacon!! Mmmm mmmm! Their club house sandwich is yummy, too. The portions are big! Fries, tater tots and onion rings are perfectly crispy. They also have the best fried cheese curds!! They do fried food well. Honestly, you can't go wrong with what you order. Service is fast and friendly. The restaurant itself is dark and dated, but it's clean and that's all that matters to me. The bar looks like it's well stocked and you can always find locals hanging about. Hunter's is a great choice for some substantial and yummy food.

    Stopped in on our drive to Westport. You never know what you're going to get at roadside…read moreestablishments right off the highway but we were both impressed. First off it was nice and big, and extremely clean (even the women's restroom!). We were greeted right away and we sat at the bar. Our service was efficient, she swung by to make sure the food was good and then again when she noticed a beer glass was empty but she did not hover, which is what we prefer. We both got cheeseburgers and jojo's and left properly stuffed. Our burgers were perfect and those jojo's were huge and tasty! She noticed when we were ready for our check and we appreciated being able to get in and out so quickly as we still had a bit of a drive ahead of us and we were already tired.
