Ecola Creek Lodge

I was not sure what to expect when I booked this hotel, but it exceeded our expectations. It is considered one of the more reasonable hotels in Cannon Beach, and not the usual $500 per night for a beachfront hotel. For anyone trying to be on a bit of a budget, I would highly recommend this place - location is great, a nice hang out area in the courtyard, and easy access to the beach

If you need to go to the toilet, bring your own toilet seat. We rented two rooms for one day and both restrooms had hese awful toilet seats.

This was a decently priced, available Cannon Beach option, but I would spend more elsewhere if I was back in the area. Location is great to be outside of the main strip, but close enough to easily walk in. The building looks cute and charming upon first glance at the front, but it needs serious attention. Issues with the room itself: black mold on the windows, all things metal in bathroom are rusted, porches need work, bathroom fan is incredibly loud and not wired separately from light, bathroom fan was also coated with a thick layer of dust, rotting exterior door trim, large mattress stain (urine maybe???). My wife always checks for bugs and there was NO evidence of them whatsoever, but I really wish I hadn’t seen the gross mattress stain. I would assume they charged the person who severely soiled it, but then opted not to use that money to replace it? To continue: poorly installed (loose) and dirty looking carpet, the room is incredibly tiny to begin with, so no real places to open and access suitcases, but then there are also these dirty, old chairs taking up space that neither of us wanted to even touch, limited surfaces to put anything down when you come in the door, zero storage space in the bathroom for toothbrushes and necessities, and the lock to the sliding door was non-functional (security bar in place instead, but why not just fix it?). Room 20 for reference. We stayed in 8 different places on our 2-week PNW trip and this was by far the worst. This was between airbnbs, hotels, lodges, inns, and motels. This was not the least expensive of them either. We actually dreaded having to return here at night because of how dirty, neglected, tiny, and claustrophobic it felt. The positive: staff was friendly, and the location was convenient. I’d recommend avoiding this place until they can put in the effort to clean it up and get on top of some much-needed, basic maintenance.

You get what you pay for… this was a decently priced, available Cannon Beach option, but I wouldn’t go back. Location is great to be outside of the main strip, but close enough to walk in. There’s still quite a bit of noise if windows are open. The building looks cute and charming upon first glance at the front, but it needs serious attention. Black mold on the windows, all things metal in bathroom are rusted, porches need work, bathroom fan is incredibly loud and not wired separately from light, bathroom fan was also coated with a layer of dust, rotting door trim, massive mattress stain (wife always checks for bedbugs), poorly installed and dirty looking poor quality carpet, room had chairs we didn’t even want to sit in because of how dirty and old they look, room so tiny we had nowhere to easily open and access suitcases, limited surfaces to put anything down when you come in the door, zero storage space in the bathroom for toothbrushes and necessities, and lock to sliding door was non-functional (security bar in place instead). Room 20 for reference. This place needs a lot of work, and we dreaded having to return to it at night because of how dirty, tiny, and claustrophobic it felt. The positive: staff was friendly, and the location was convenient.

Horrible room..number 16. It’s a dump. We stayed here a couple of years ago and it was nice and comfortable. Nothing fancy but nice. We will ever stay here again. We weren’t expecting it to be the Hilton but we’re very surprised and disappointed in the lack of care being given. A lot of deferred maintenance.

The lodge is in a great location in Cannon Beach. The rooms are updates, with old furniture and dito bathroom. We had some trouble with the curtains and a flooding toilet, but were helped properly. Did not ask, but was hoping for another room after this. But we enjoyed anyway for 2 nights.
