Planned a 1 night staycation & this place popped up for a decent price & had pretty good reviews. This specific room mentioned being remodeled 2 years ago, so I thought why not. We were pleasantly surprised, for a two star hotel this place was really nice. A little small, but exactly what we needed. The provided shampoo & body wash smelled amazing. We had a king size bed, which my boyfriend & I both agreed was very comfortable. The area was very quiet & everything was clean. Although a bit far from haystack rock, it is extremely close to lots of food & shops. Check in & check out was very seamless & we had a great time. Would stay here again the next time we come. read more

It looked exactly like the pictures! I booked a couple garden court king/twin rooms through the third party app for hotels.com. I misread the check in instructions and confused myself, so I stopped by the office to confirm I was in the right place for check in. The lady working the front desk went above and beyond. Not only was she able to quickly confirm my reservation info, but I was talking about our party and she offered to move us into side by side rooms. She also helped us check in a few hours early! We checked into 101 & 102. The rooms in this building are paired where two adjacent rooms share a private staircase, so we were directly across the hall from the rest of our party--perfect setup for us! The ground floor appears to be used for storage and the room entrances are at the top of the short staircase. It was wonderful to not have any downstairs or upstairs neighbors! We had 2 adults in 101 with a king bed. In 102 we had a king and a separate twin bed which was absolutely adorable! The twin was nestled into an alcove by the window with a curtain to block it off and a separate light switch. The rooms looked exactly like the pictures. We were blown away. Such cute design features and looked fresh and updated. The bed linens were crisply white and luxurious. The furniture was modern, stylish, and all felt intentional. It is a small studio space with excellent storage throughout. Despite not listing ocean views, we were actually able to see a peek of the ocean from the large windows which also let in fantastic natural light! As we made our way with our toddler along the very short walk to the beach access, a second hotel employee stopped us to give us a friendly warning about the winter tide/waves. I was surprised that someone would go out of their way to share information to keep us safe. Just another example of exceptional customer service. If you love the downtown cannon beach area, this location cannot be beat. You are just blocks (steps really!) away from coffee, pizza, restaurants, shops and candy stores. The shower was fantastic. Clean, cute, and the provided shower products smelled great. The fan and heat lamp in the bathroom are on convenient timer switches. The mini split provided wonderful temperature control and was both quiet and efficient with warming up our room. This hotel feels like it is small business owned and we could not have been happier with our stay. Such a great value. We are already making plans to come back. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Beautiful spot stairs down to the beach. Customer service is lacking, we called months ahead to ask questions about our atay.but when we got.there it was different. The lady at front desk was not happy,helpful at all. We felt like we were a problem. If you say you have a area with a bbq grill for customers then it should told it's not easy to get to, if your told oceanview it should be that. The lighting in the room was dark, no air conditioning, no screens on the windows so we can have fresh air,if you cook the smoke alarm will go off because it's right above the bed. When someone calls to ask questions they need to be very honest so people understand what there getting. read more

Great room, exactly as pictured on the website (sorry I didn't take pics to post on Yelp!). Newly remodeled, clean, and comfortable. We were in #106 "Garden Court", but there was no garden to be found. We overlooked the parking lot. It didn't matter, we were out most of the days. Great location to walk around town. Decent walk to Haystack Rock, but easy and nice. We'd definitely stay again, maybe try for an ocean view room next time. read more

My wife and I honeymooned here for 7 days this august, all in the king La Colina suite. I travel nonstop for work and I can say this was one of the best hotel experiences ever. The service was just right, they strategically bring fresh towels and do housekeeping around your schedule. The fireplace and kitchenette were perfect. The location couldn't be better. It was the perfect place to kick off our marriage! read more

The Waves Cannon Beach - Hotels Near Me - Cannon Beach, Oregon

This is our go-to spot to stay in Cannon Beach! They have several buildings so lots of different sizes and views to choose from when it comes to rooms. We prefer to get a room with a view of the ocean and most of them have balconies. We have visited Waves many times and have an excellent experience every time, even with COVID 19 restrictions. The rooms are consistently clean, some have fireplace and jacuzzi tubs, there are smaller rooms perfect for a couple or larger cabins that would accommodate a group. The location is within walking distance of downtown Cannon Beach and you can walk along the street or the beach to get there. It is a hike to get to Cannon Beach but the views are gorgeous even if you don't walk all the way down there. This area of the coast also has a small river right in front of the ocean that changes with the tides. Some people don't like this but I think it adds a unique element. read more

Room was clean, comfortable, and had a spectacular view. The kitchenette had everything you could want. Beautiful view and walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and Haystack rock. The only drawback was that we were on the first floor and could hear our neighbors walking above us, but even that didn't dampen our amazing stay. read more

The price per night was $330. Quite expensive, but of course we understand it's because of the location. The 2 things good about this room was the comfortable bed and the very close proximity to the beach and the town. With that said, I took a few pics where improvement is definitely necessary. First pic shows 2 things - it was taken at around 9:00 pm. As you can see, the room has no darkening shades so it's never really very dark. Also - yuck - the table is full of watermarks, scratches, etc. looks terrible and we put nothing on it except for the little fan (no AC) they provided. Third pic is a view from the bed. Perhaps the picture can be replaced with a large big screen tv. The one provided was so small and in a weird place. Another pic shows the closet. Five hangers for 2 people? C'mon. Also, very awkward to get to your clothes. As you can see in the second pic, there is a huge space on the right where shelves could be installed. We had to store a lot of our clothes in our suitcase. The side tables were very small. Shelves would solve this problem. Finally, the bathroom. Again, as you can see, plenty of room to have a couple of shelves. Instead, we had to delicately balance our bathroom supplies along the sink and on the toilet tank. Ridiculous. Other complaints - we went grocery shopping and put our food in the fridge. Guess what? It wasn't even turned on, so our food was ruined. There's no full length mirror - plenty of room for one. Nor is there a magnifying mirror in the bathroom. Only enough coffee and sugar for one day? You should at least have a few days' worth. Windows don't open and there's no screen on the back door, leading to the ocean so too bad if you want any cool ocean breeze heading into your room on these warm days. Don't waste your money!! read more

We loved our stay. The hotel manager was amazing in finding us just the right room for the price we were looking for! We had a partial view from our deck which was perfect. We were able to check in early which we were so happy about. We loved that the room had a big jetted tub that was appreciated after a long walk on the beach! The bed was very comfortable as well. We loved staying there and will want to again. read more

I had booked a room for two nights at The Waves, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to cancel more than 24 hours before my scheduled arrival. Every hotel I have ever stayed at allows refunds if one cancels by 4:00 PM the day before arrival. The Waves said they would keep one full night's fee unless they rented that room. They kept over $400 despite the fact I had canceled a full day in advance. I learned my lesson: Don't ever book a room directly with The Waves! read more

Good location, great view, and a clean bathroom. That's where the good stuff ends. We paid $370 a night for this room (over $2,000 for five nights). The carpets are absolutely filthy (see photos) and there was a two foot hole/rip in the living room carpet, the couch was grossly dirty and broken down, and the whole place felt tired and grungy. The trim is beat up, the dining table had big scratches and large pieces of missing "wood" from the top.The deck area is missing a lot of shingles and looks a bit trashy. I had to scrub what looked like melted ice cream off the countertop when we arrived. Granted, hardly any of the motels or hotels in this area have air-conditioning, but this place is stifling hot. When we walked in our unit after check-in the thermostat read 87°. Everything was closed up tight when we arrived. I found one dirty box fan in a closet. Called down to the office to ask for another and was told that was all they had. She suggested leaving the front door of the shared unit open to get a cross breeze. It was 8 o'clock at night. Of course we couldn't leave the front door to the unit all night, and we had to close two of the three windows in the main part of the room because they had no screens (not uncommon in this area) and someone could have easily just crawled in the window next to my sleeping son. At 10:30 pm we couldn't stand the stifling heat (still 84 in the room), and I had to go buy two more fans 30 minutes away at W*lm*rt. I guess we will be gifting this place two $30 fans, because we can't take them home. Today it is supposed to be even hotter, and I do understand weather is out of their control, but it's been extremely hot in Cannon Beach the last two summers - it's not like it's a surprise to them. I would not recommend this place until they replace carpets and do some renovations. They also need to do something to compensate for the lack of airflow in the units. I've stayed weeks at a time in Cannon Beach and have never paid so much to stay in a run down property. I have no problem paying $2-3,000 for five nights as long as the place is clean and comfortable. This isn't that. read more

My boyfriend and I had a lovely weekend away while staying at The Waves in Cannon Beach. Our room (La Colina King) was just perfect! Had an amazing view of the ocean and we loved laying in bed, looking out the window and enjoying the sounds of waves and seagulls in the distance. The fireplace is a nice touch as well. The room had a nice built-in booth by the windows, perfect for a sunset dinner. We enjoyed use of the stovetop and refrigerator in the room. Makes it easy to make meals and not have to go out if you don't want to, especially with Covid-19. The location can't be beat and is right around the corner from all the shops and restaurants in downtown Cannon Beach. The bed was super comfy and the sheets were sooooo soft! I want some for myself at home!! We have found our new place to escape to! We will definitely be back!! Only suggestion for improvement - better patio furniture. read more

Great location. Beautiful view. Friendly, helpful staff. It was an amazing, unforgettable experience waking up to the breathtaking view every morning and walking along the beach. We spent a couple of nights here during my second trimester and it was very relaxing. The sunset was surreal, felt like I was in Lord of the Rings or something. I would love to return with my son one day and get some pictures of him by the Haystack rock. We stayed in the room with the kitchenette and fire place. It came fully stocked but some items need to be upgraded. Knife was quite dull, couldn't really make good use out of it. read more

Not only have I never given a yelp review, it's certainly not like me to give a negative one however I am making an exception. while there is now a 3 night minimum for certain rooms which is fine, we decided to take a chance and see if they would allow a two night stay at the last minute since it was so late in the week and one of the rooms had not yet been booked. The owner was gracious enough to agree but we had to call by 6PM on Thursday with the promise that if it hadn't been booked for the following three days, we could have it for two nights. After waiting all day, We called at six as requested and the owner then gave us the option to rent it for three nights with the third night reduced. We explained again that we could not stay 3 nights which is why we wanted two nights in the first place. They then came back and said we would have to wait until Friday morning (the day we planned to get there) at 9 am before they would give us an answer. Basically we waited all day for them to go back on their word. We had people waiting to hear back that were joining us as well as pet sitters lined up and waiting for us as well. We explained that they lost a long time customer as we have stayed there numerous times and enjoyed it very much. I doubt they care. It's a sad day when people can't keep their word. In my opinion this is just greed at it's finest. As a owner of an establishment such as this, I would much rather have happy guests that continue to come back than squabble over a few hundred dollars. Very disappointed. read more

Great place right on the beach. The views! So nice cuz with a full kitchen you could really nest if the weather is blustery. Thanksgiving at the beach! Gas fireplace, windows all around, comfy furniture, we had two bedrooms and two baths (plus a Murphy bed). No two rooms are identical. Lots of privacy with the way they angle the windows and the outdoor space. Located right in town, so there are tons of places to go and things to do without driving. Definitely a keeper. read more

The Waves Cannon Beach - View from the balcony - Hotels Near Me - Cannon Beach, Oregon

The Waves Cannon Beach is hands down one of the most charming cottage-style motels I've ever stayed in. The Waves is conveniently located to numerous restaurants and a couple of bars and most importantly the beach. The motel is roughly a mile from Haystock Rock, which is simply magnificent in itself. We had the pleasure of staying on a third-floor beach facing queen which I highly recommend. The room came with a small kitchenette, quaint bathroom, comfortable bed, balcony and a fireplace. Enjoying the view on the balcony in the morning was my favorite part. Parking was easy, check in was great and it was an overall great experience. We will definitely stay here again! read more

This place is NOT what it looks like online. The room was dirty, there was a simple push in lock on the door with no latch while vagrants were actively trying to get into the hotel. The hotel staff refused to give me my money back after I realized the hotel was NOTHING like what I thought I booked. Also, the room I had was over a garage and my "garden view" was of a driveway. The hotel needs updating desperately. I wouldn't pay more than 80$ for the room I got. read more

Awful. We didn't even stay in the same buildings for the hotel. Unit 218 is above a pizza joint hidden away. Took us 30 min to find our room. There were no map, and only instructions by speech. For how much this room is this is unacceptable. I hope they sell this room off as this is just a business room changed to a small outdated hole in the wall. I'm never using this place again. read more

I have no interest or connection to the owner. The colors, carpeting, tile, and even the furniture are wonderful. Stickley furniture! Quiet at night too. Beach right out front. I highly recommend this place. read more

Beautiful area, location and room. Couldn't have had a better getaway, this place is right in downtown with tons of shops and restaurants a few feet away. I will definitely be back! The only thing I don't love is as soon as you make your reservation, they'll charge one night on that card. Not a deal breaker, I'll definitely chose this place over any of the others. read more

The very first thing I noticed when I arrived was a fresh unflushed #2 in the upstairs toilet. The downstairs bathroom had black hair on the counter. The second plate I attempted to use in the kitchen cupboard was dirty and the lighter set out to light the fireplace log was broken. I ended up using the outside BBQ to light a piece of paper, brought it inside, and lit the log. Management ignored both emails about the problem. For a $400 a night room it was very disappointing, to say the least. No A/C or pool also. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

My boyfriend and I just stayed at this lovely motel and had an excellent time as a late Valentine's Day celebration together! It would be silly to complain about anything because our stay was as close to perfect as possible! Staff was lovely and nice. There's a great selection of dvds in the lobby that can be watched for free. There is cable in the rooms which was also really nice! Our room was nice and quiet aside from a squeaky toilet, which wasn't an issue because it didn't hinder the function of the toilet. The kitchenette in our room was fully stocked and we took full use of it during our stay. We found it easier to park behind our room on the street than the provided parking lot. The back porch/deck was an added bonus which we used quite a bit. We'd exit the back and cross the street to the beach. It was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be back in the future! read more

This was our first time staying at The Waves in Cannon Beach. We are very impressed with the property and the service. The location meets all of our needs for being able to walk into town. The rooms are clean & have everything you need. The view is wonderful. We are really glad we found this location. We booked another trip for October of this year. We highly recommend The Waves. read more

Don't let the word "motel" in the name fool you; this place is full of charm and it's RIGHT on the beach. I don't know why this place isn't more highly reviewed; there are SO many places in Cannon Beach that are CRAZY over-priced. This place is a great value (still more expensive than I wish to spend, but hey, it's right on the beach) and really has everything that you really need for a short get-away to this cute beach town. Here are the things we judged the hotel on: SERVICE: They don't go out of their way for you, but they are nice. Nothing extraordinary. But I'm not booking this hotel for the service; I'm staying here due to the location and price. ROOM: Cute and comfy. I suffer from chronic neck issues and the pillows and bed didn't bother me too much. We've stayed here twice, once with a great view of the beach, and other time no view of the beach but an amazing bay window where we could take siestas with the sun beating down on us. The ceilings are tall so you feel like the space is spacious. It's a basic room, but it was really comfortable. Parking is easy and off the street. LOCATION: Can't be beat. Unless you want to spend $200+ more a night to stay elsewhere on the beach. Every night (and every time) we end up having a campfire right on the beach, and it's perfect. Also, the location to town is great. Just a 5 minute walk to any number of the cute shops, grab a coffee, or some lunch. I kind of don't want to say such great things so I can still stay here without worrying too much about reservations. But this place deserves the rave. Go, it's cute, convenient, and perfectly located to town and the beach. read more

There are few times in my life where I will splurge on a hotel but this is the place to do it. As the first stop on our honeymoon Roadtrip we had heard great things about this place and were not disappointed. Our room had a king bed, small kitchenette and a deck that faced the ocean. The views were out of a magazine! The room was very clean and the property was very safe and secure. I would stay here every day if I could! read more

Since I discovered the Waves in 2014 I have literally been back almost once per month. I read a review about it being dirty but that is my primary compliment to the Waves. It is immaculately clean. The rooms are not fancy or elegant but they are incredibly beachy and comfortable. You can't beat the location right on the beach and half a block from town. I am a self avowed clean freak. I have never seen one ounce of dust or dirt or grime anywhere on the Waves property. I have stayed in many rooms, including the White Heron vilified in an alternate review. Although I hate to send everyone in Portland straight to my favorite hotel, you really are missing out if you do not try it. It is worth every penny. read more

Stayed 2 night in the El Colima king studio. Upgraded, clean and ocean view. Loved it! Nice fireplace and separate heater in the bathroom. Location is great on 2nd. You can park and walk everywhere in town. Small grocery store close by. Cute sitting booth in room and own private patio. It is a-bit far from haystack, but nice long walk on the beach and you can be right there. I will definitely stay here again when I am in Cannon Beach. read more

This was my second stay in the same room at the Waves. We rented the 1 bedroomn ocean view in the White Heron Lodge. The views are amazing and the deck is wonderful. This unit is on the first floor and you can step off your deck to a lawn and then through the sand right to the beach. This unit is further from town (still walking distance) but there is a little estuary and then a large sand bar befor you get to the actual ocean, which is great because I didn't have to worry about my son in the waves. It was also the perfect spot for a bonfire. The beds, even the wall bed, are comfortable. The kitchen is updated and has everything you need to prepare meals. The bathroom is a little small and could use a bit of updating, as can some of the furniture, but everything is clean and comfortable. I love that they have free movies (even new releases) to lend out. We had nothing but wonderful experiences with the staff. In fact, my son left a small stuffed animal behind. We didn't know it was gone until well after we were home and couldn't find it anywhere. Without even asking The Waves mailed it back to us at their expense. That was above and beyond in my book! Our first stay I was looking at hotel rooms through hotels.com. I called the hotel to see if the room I was looking at could accommodate my parents who can't navigate stairs. They told me it could and also had a lower rate then any of the websites so I booked directly with them. We will definately stay there again. read more

I'm shocked to see that the Waves only gets 3 stars! We stayed here for our anniversary weekend and were both VERY pleased. It is in absolutely the best part of Cannon Beach, beachfront, oceanview, great lodge style room with kitchenette and fireplace...Who could complain? The Waves own a few different properties and we were in the La Colina. Pros: View, cozy decor, private balcony, indoor hot tub with ocean view! Cons: Skylights that let 6 a.m. sunlight in with no way to block it out. Bathroom is a bit dated, but clean and sufficient. You will not regret your stay here. We paid $700 for 3 nights. read more

Great location and views for a reasonable price. Walking distance from the Cannon Beach strip and a brisk walk down the beach from Haystack Rock. The carpet and furniture were a bit worn but the room offered all of the necessities needed. Just an FYI, they provide basic cooking utensils but not cooking staples like other rentals I've stayed in (butter, oil, spices, etc). Would be a nice addition! Wi-fi connection was spotty as well. read more

The Waves Cannon Beach - The view - Hotels Near Me - Cannon Beach, Oregon

This is my second time staying at The Waves, and while it's pretty pricey, I've very much enjoyed both stays. Both times, I booked using Trip Advisor, so I can't touch on the booking process like some of these reviews mention, but I had no issues. You can't beat the location of this hotel, whether or not you have a view from your room. It's seconds to the beach and minutes from every restaurant/shop in town. Of course an ocean view is ideal but wasn't make or break for me since I figured I'd be spending most of my time outside enjoying the beach. Both rooms I've stayed in (queen guest room and lower lighthouse) were clean, cute, and just what I needed for a little getaway. For the price of the place, I'd expect more modern rooms with more amenities available, but there is a mini fridge and gas fireplace so I can't complain too much. Very cozy. There's an indoor hot tub that looks out to the ocean, which is awesome, although the windows could use some cleaning... they didn't mention the hot tub to us on our first stay, which would have been nice to know about. Generally, this has been a comfortable place to stay. Each place you can rent from the Waves (from what I can tell) is unique in what kind of view/set up you will have, but if you're not too picky and are just looking for a nice but basic hotel for your vacation, I'd recommend checking it out! read more

Well.....we thought the grounds were very well maintained and the room cleaning service was excellent..also check in.... appears to be nice owner's....maybe unaware of this practice that is happening which is still not fair. HOWEVER when paying close to $1000 for three days....the reservation would reflect the same room with 2 queensize beds.....not a room with a Murphy pull down bed that was so incredibly uncomfortable that it was difficult to sleep....my back is still not recovered. BEWARE...the reservation was changed to another room without authorization by the reservation clerk....or notification to us .... The owner did give us approximately $90 back....it didn't make up for the poor quality of the beds...when we asked specifically for 2 queen size beds that were comfortable! read more
