Ocean Spray Beach Resort — Hotel in Hoquiam

spent one night at this "Resort". I don't see how it has the rating that is posted. It has a new owner and this place is a dump. As we walked into the "Hawaii" cottage we were immediately assaulted by the smell of mold. As I closed the door it was filthy. The Resort allows dogs and it looks like dogs had pawed the door as it had layers of dirt smug. I can only imagine the dogs were trying to escape the smell. The rug was filthy and as you walk in you are greeted by what is clearly a stain made by a dog urnating on the rug. The reclining chair had a stain I don't even want to consider how it was made. We went to get a blanket or sheet to put over a couch as it was visibly dirty. The blanket had a very strong oder of urine. Perhaps the dog got tired of the rug. I found the smell was less in the bedrooms. unfortunately we were unable to lock a one of the bedroom windows so when we went out to eat we had to load everything back in the car. The beds were lumpy and because the floors are uneven the head of the bed is lower than the foot of the bed. You cannot close one of he bedroom doors for the same reason. I am sure the group of people next door were nice but I have a thing about pitbulls and rotweillers. and 8 people in a small cabin. I am in my mid 60s and prefer a more "resort" like atmosphere. ||I called the number to complain and the answering service gave me the owners phone number. around 6pm I called and left a message on the owners cell phone that it was unhealthy and we couldn't secure a window. Around 7pm I sent a text and did not hear from the owner until I sent a message the next morning telling her we were leaving. I was sick from smelling the mold and could not secure the house. I got a response later in the morning. She was sorry and didn't get the message until morning. She would come and board up the window.||Who doesn't have their cell phone with them? I find it hard to believe she did not have her phone with her until the morning. This place is not what you think it is. It is not near the beach and it is certainly not a resort. If you are in your 60s you are now warned this is not a place you will be comfortable in. I tripped a couple times on the...

Our hats are off to the property manager. Unit 11 did not suit us, and after one night, they moved us to Unit 6, an older but larger cabin. The property manager did not charge us a cleaning fee for Unit 11 or an upgrade fee for the larger unit. Great service. The décor in Unit 6 is dated, but the cabin is comfortable, and we were happy with it. Now, about Unit 11………..||Unit 11 looks pretty, but it is possibly the most poorly designed “tiny house” in the entire free world.||The bedroom has enough room for a queen mattress. That’s it. No closet. No furniture. No built-in. Nothing. (I’m not sure it can be called a “bedroom” without some type of clothes storage area?) The mattress is against the wall on two and a half sides, so if the person sleeping on the window side of the bed needs to get up, they have to crawl over the other person in the bed.||The only places to hang or store clothes are the wall-mounted hooks at the entry door, the two ladders to the loft areas (which is ALL they are good for), the door knob, and your suitcases.||Speaking of suitcases, there is no place to PUT a suitcase (or any bag for that matter). We put my wife’s suitcase on the small dining table, and mine on the floor.||The tub in the bathroom looks cool, but it’s very high, and most older people would say it’s dangerous without grab bars. The shower curtain does not close all the way, so it is impossible to take a shower without getting the walls and floor wet.||The two loft areas are INACCESSIBLE because the ladders are so poorly designed. See the photos. Mind boggling, and exceptionally dangerous.||There are steps at the entry door, but there is no handrail, and my wife and I both use a handrail going up and down steps.||I wouldn’t recommend this unit to a single traveler, let alone a couple or a couple with children. I strongly recommend the proper manager take this unit off the market until they fix the many problems with this unit. ||We have stayed at Ocean Spray Beach Resort before, and we will definitely stay there again. It just won't be...

We have stayed here 4 times since they opened 9 years ago. We first stopped by after we got rained out at the Grayland Beach State Park. The cabins weren't ready but were undergoing extensive repairs. We were there the next year, We have our favorite cabins. Diane is the best hostess. Her staff are very friendly too. It's like staying with a dear friend. She has lots of info about what to do and where to eat. She is your personal tour guide to the area. Our cabins have always been clean and ready for us. I don't know where the previous reviewer (traveler Mickey) stayed. I have never had any issues with mold. We have visited 3 times in August and once in October. Whenever Diane is off-site she lets us know or leaves a note on the office door. Yesterday we could not get the closed captioning off on the TV and she came right away and fixed it for us. All the cabins are themed and decorated by Diane. It's like a home away from home only better. I highly recommend the Ocean Spray Beach Resort. Also, there are two canine hosts Bailey and Sandy Beaches and one feline host Rocky Beaches. Rocky goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. The kitchens are well equipped with coffee beans, grinder, coffee maker, toaster, salt, pepper and various spices, a variety of pots, pans, utensils and silverware. Tons of fresh towels too. Extensive DVD collection to borrow for free. The beach is a short drive (1 minute) or a (7 minute walk) which is an added bonus. It's a great way to unwind. These are beach cabins. This is not the Sheraton. Do not stay here if you are expecting a 5 star hotel in a major city with impersonal service and attention. If you want a homey, friendly atmosphere and great customer service, this is the...
