Scene
Value hotel with a family-friendly vibe and nearby beach access
The Ashley Inn and Suites is a roadside value hotel for travelers who want to be on the Oregon Coast within walking distance to the beach. This hotel features a multi-colored, three-floor exterior and river stones around the small entrance. River rocks also accent the lobby’s fireplace, which is surrounded by comfy leather armchairs. The lodge-style atmosphere is slightly old-fashioned but pleasant overall, with red or green patterned carpeting in the corridors. For guests who want to stay in, there’s a DVD movie library plus beer and wine for sale in the gift shop. At night the hotel staff often provide baked cookies for guests. This hotel appeals to families with children and couples, and really anyone looking for value-priced rooms.
