When we arrived, we waited a few minutes for the woman at the front desk to even acknowledge we were standing there, even though she looked right at us. Communication was difficult, due to the desk clerk barely speaking English. Room smelled very strongly of some kind of cleaning agent, and we had to open windows and air it out before we could even go inside. Room was much smaller than the photos on the website. Kitchen was extremely ill-equipped, not even having serviceware and coffee cups for the coffeemaker. Breakfast bar at the hotel across the street was messy and dirty. The TV in the room wasn’t working when we checked in, so we went to the hotel to get help with it, and they just kept telling us “It’s just new”. We finally figured it out on our own. The only amenities provided were small bottles of half empty shampoo and conditioner in the shower. When we needed help with the TV, the hotel told us to go to the onsite office to get someone. When we did, we found no one there, just a phone on the counter saying call the hotel for help. This was a disappointment from check in to check out. Not recommending at all to anyone.

You have to go to a different hotel to check in get the breakfast or use the pool our booking was for 3 people the room hada double bed and a couch that was not a sofa bed. The toilet paper holder was hanging off the wall there was a phone in the office if you need to contact the front desk person they never gave us the wifi information and when we called they just kept hanging up on us.

It was a nice place for an overnight stay - clean (except a little bit of a pee smell), filled with toiletries, towels, but we stayed 3 adults and no bed sheets were provided and we had to call and inquire that, also check-in/out + breakfast place is in Days Inn which is 1 block away.

The Westerly is a very old property but I really enjoyed the charm. The owner is on site and very nice. It’s a family property. The staff call her Oma. The rooms all small but well appointed. The futon in the living room is the equivalent to a double hide-a-bed. If you’ve never seen one maybe the previous reviewers didn’t know how to open it up into a bed. But it is there and there is extra bedding for it in the bedroom. I will definitely be back.

I was a bit worried based off previous reviews but we got what we expected which was just a home base close to the beach for the 4th. It wasnt perfectly spotless but we brought Lysol wipes and made do. The staff member who checked us in was wonderful. There were no bugs or musty smell like other reviews stated. No complaints.

Check in was at the Days Inn up the street which we weren’t informed of ahead of time. Our reservation was through Expedia. The staff at Days Inn were professional, friendly and quick getting us checked in. We rented two rooms and one had a dirty dog smell, the other was better but still a little funky. The room was clean but the sofa bed sheets were questionable. The shower was hot enough and the bathroom was clean and stocked. We enjoyed the location; close to the main parts of town and the beach. We were even able to see a lot of the fireworks being set off from the beach.

1 star. The app clearly stated that staff would be available 24/7, but when we arrived there was nobody there to help us check in. We were left stranded with no assistance despite paying for a room. The lack of communication and customer service was unacceptable. Save your money and stay somewhere that actually provides the service they advertise.

The unit was smaller than expected. We were only there one night, so we made it work. The whole place was sloped, which was concerning. The floors were dirty, and you could tell they clean around the furniture. The breakfast bar was decent, but low stock. I noticed staff were frequently having to refill everything. Maybe it was busier than normal, because all the tables were full. The heated pool was cold, but the hot tub was very nice and relaxing. The man that checked us in was very kind and agreeable, however the next shift crew seemed uninterested in our questions about one of the amenities. All in all, it was fine, and we made the most of it. It was a place to sleep and came with breakfast. The place could use some upgrades and deep cleaning, but it wasn't terrible! Last thing I'd mention is- make sure you read the check-in instructions after you book! They are very helpful when it comes to where you're supposed to check-in!

Got to the hotel and went to the door that said vacancy. No one was in there but a sign that says use phone to call for check-in. I called a few times, no answer. Went to check reservation email and found out I had to go to another hotel to check in. Got a room key and it wouldn't open the door, went back to the office. They gave me another card. Still wouldn't open the door. Went back to the office and they said I was opening the door wrong. They used a master key to open the door, and then started to walk away. I tried the card again, wouldn't work. He used the key to open the door again. I asked him how was I supposed to get in if I left the room. He said to put something in the door jam so the door wouldn't close. I told him I'd like to cancel the reservation at this point and just leave. The guy in the office said I'd have to cancel the stay the following day... Not sure what good that was going to do since I wanted to cancel the day of, not after... I was given the master key to the room and was asked to not lose it. The employees at the counter wouldn't even make eye contact with me. We got our things in the room, it smelled weird, not like food just old and musty maybe. Clean room and kitchen area. Sofa, sheets, bath towels stained. Heat didn't work in living room. Room was quiet throughout the stay, even with the monthly renters.

All the amenities were actually down the street at the Days Inn. The beach access isn't at the motel, it's down the road at the public access. Place was not what was expected and they took quite a while looking for a key that worked, finally just put me in the Days Inn location when I suggested that would make me happier. If I hadn't pre paid we would have gone elsewhere. At least it was only an overnight.

The Westerly, was run down and also inhabited by monthly renters. To check in , you have to go down the block and across the street, to the Days Inn hotel. The amenities offered for the Weatherly are actually at the Days Inn. The pool, hot tub and breakfast are all at the Days Inn. We actually stayed at the Days Inn. The staff were great! The property is a little run down, but clean and adequate. The price was great. The hot tub was hot and the pool was heated.

Actually ending up staying at the Days Inn because there was no housekeeper to clean the property. Very strange. I don’t want to stay in a dirty room anyway. Got charged more for staying there for two nights and Paid a deposit that was not returned even after a couple of days. We left the room clean. We did notice a chair in the corner was already broken when we arrived. Never touched or moved it. Stay at the Days inn was nice tho. Quiet. Clean. Bed kind of hard but clean, hot water and warm.

We stayed for two nights at the Days Inn also known as Westerly in Ocean Shores, Washington, and paid the full room cost through Expedia. We were aware that pet fees were to be paid directly to the hotel, which included a $25 per night pet fee and a $50 refundable pet deposit to be returned after checkout.
Our dog is a 10-pound Shih Tzu, and there was no damage to the room during our stay. We also brought our own blanket for the bed. At checkout, hotel staff confirmed that the $50 pet deposit would be refunded.
It has now been over a month, and despite numerous attempts to contact the hotel, we have not received the refund or any response. This delay is unacceptable, and the deposit should have been returned as promised.

I booked a Queen Deluxe room with a kitchen, but upon arrival I was told the room was unavailable due to an alleged incident. I later confirmed with authorities that no such incident occurred. We were moved to a smaller room in a different building without a kitchen, and this was only disclosed after we had already signed the check-in paperwork.

Check-in took a long time, and when I asked about switching to another available unit listed online, I was told no alternative could be offered. We were not given the option to upgrade, even at our own expense.

While at the front desk, I witnessed another couple trying to resolve a billing issue, which added to the overall concern about how guests are treated.

This experience was extremely stressful and disappointing. I would not recommend staying here based on our stay.

Do not stay here

The room smelled terrible from the initial opening of the door. It smelled of mold, dampness and just moldy/must.

The bed was made with fitted sheet, damp blanket, flat sheet and then another damp blanket. The blankets had holes that looked like cigarette burns and there was stitching on at least one of them. The floors were uneven and absolutely terrible. The LVP was torn up either from the bed or from a hammer.

The bathroom was disgusting. The towels were laid out on the top of the toilet covering the push button. The toilet paper was sitting on top of that as the toilet paper holder was torn from the wall, thankfully either thrown away or hidden, but still gone.

It was incredibly odd that I had to go to the Days Inn nearby to get my keys. I honestly wish I had stayed there instead.

I will never stay here again, and I would never recommend anyone ever stay there.

Shelter for Homeless people of all nations.

The westerly motel is totally different in reality then it's advertised or pictured on websites. I reserved 2 rooms for our party and on the website it says sleeps 5 per room with a queen bed and a sofa bed.
In one room it was only 1 bed and the other room had 1 bed and barely working sofa bed that was all super dirty, stained and smelled of cigarette smoke.
The rooms both smelled of mold and one also of the cigarette smoke. Huge rip off, will never stay again and don't recommend to anyone. When asked for a different room or some discount, neither one was provided.

First thing was we had to check-in at an entirely different hotel which was not expected at all. Second, within minutes of looking at the room the shower curtain slammed onto the floor before we even entered the bathroom and when I picked it up it was soaking wet. The coffee maker not only already had old water in it but was cracked all over the place. The paper cups were stuck together as if they were stacked wet. The couch cushions were very stained, the blanket on the bed was MAJORLY stained and actually moist with holes. The towels in the bathroom were already wet as well. The windows in the bedroom and bathroom were open upon arrival, and the bedroom had a hole in the wall from the door knob. There was no air conditioning or ability to adjust the thermostat to a cooler temperature so it was very hot and very muggy. The bathroom door wouldn't lock even with the push button lock. Our key didn't seem to lock the front door from the outside and had to be locked from the inside when we would leave. Amenities like the pool, hot tub and breakfast mentioned in the booking site were at the separate hotel we had to check-in. The pool actually had a section of the ceiling that seemed heavily damaged and almost falling in. I absolutely would not recommend this facility to anyone especially for a charge of $175 for one night. And definitely hope for some sort of refund.

We were told in the booking there were two beds and that the room had cooking facilities. There was one bed, no cooking facilities, no night stands on which to put necessary items. The toilet paper was sitting on the window sill and was rough and of poor quality. The clerk tried charging $10.00 extra per hour for early check in, and he argued about trivial matters. The room was cramped, and the hairdryer and bathroom fan were out of order. It was the worst place I have ever stayed in.

Filthy & SCAM - Do Not Stay Here

This motel is filthy and a total SCAM. My family of 4 booked a room with a bed and pull-out couch, the pull-out was UNUSABLE. It had literal dried dog poop on it (or at least I hope it was from a dog), it was covered in black hairs, and had red and black stains. The rooms reek of cigarettes and mold. The floor was covered in sand.

The \"indoor pool and free breakfast\" exist at the Days Inn a block and a half away. There is no golf course that I saw...this is all false advertising.

We got in late with young kids so had to stay the first night. In the morning I spoke with the owner Jill who told me she would honor a refund for our next two nights despite the booking being nonrefundable. When I contacted Hotels.com and they contacted Jill, she refused a refund and instead offered a ridiculous coupon for a future 2 night stay... On the second night we were supposed to be there, the motel contacted me at 9PM to confirm we weren't coming back so they could double-book the room for a different family despite having charged me for the full 3 nights.

DO NOT STAY HERE.

Good spot for last minute booking. Definitely paying for what you get a little funky. Room number 7 wasnt bad, we did have room number 9 first but wasn't enough room (felt very stuffy in room number 9) sheets were sandy in bed, but shower was nice and room seemed decently cleaned.I would recommended having all white sheets for a more cleanliness feel. I would stay there again if being in a bind. Good location to all restaurants. They offered a simple continental breakfast across the street along with pool and hot tub.

When booking our family stay, the photos look way better then in person. We switched rooms 2 times, thought I was getting a queen with a pull out sofa, 1 st room had a chase and small recliner and small bed. Moved to second room and it was not clean, dirt and hair all over the bathroom. Pull out couch was dirty, did not want my kids to sleep on it, there was a dirty broken recliner in the room also. 3rd room, we switched to we had one with a kitchenette. Twin pull out bed and small very uncomfortable bed low to ground, bed room doors can not close, and no walk space. My son slept on a twin, i had to use the couch cushions for my daughter to sleep on and baby in the kitchen in her play pen. Overall not worth the money. We got to walk and eat breakfast and swim in the pool, but there was flies everywhere and the pool water was not the cleanest....this stay cost over $300 and is not worth the price. The staff were helpful but overall not a clean or big enough space, pictures make it look nicer then what it is.
