Bottom Line
A newer hotel in Seaside, the 48-room River Inn at Seaside on the Necanicum River is a family-friendly, pet-friendly, mid-range property located two blocks from the beach and one block from Broadway, Seaside's main drag. Freebies include a continental breakfast, bike rentals, a kids' playground, DVD rentals, Wi-Fi, and a heated indoor pool. Rooms are nothing special, and it's difficult to tell if they're meant to look retro or just need an update, with mustard-colored curtains and brown accents. This property has a tendency to be on the noisier side; for travelers looking for quiet, Lanai on the Cove might be a better choice.

Scene
Four-story family-friendly hotel
River Inn at Seaside has a four-story facade lined with neutral siding that faces a paved parking lot. There's a small wooden porte cochere and blue pillars. Inside, the lobby is warm and inviting -- it takes its design cues from the coastal location with various shades of blue and light wood furniture, including a deep brown leather sofa and high-backed pale blue chairs. Freshly baked cookies and an electric fireplace are cozy extras. Outside, there's a cute patio with a fire pit and full wooden playground for kids surrounded by a brown picket fence. Views of the river are scenic.
Location
A riverfront location a quick walk from Seaside.
Set on a riverfront location on the shores of the Necanicum River, the River Inn at Seaside offers pretty views just two blocks from the beach and one block from the main drag of Seaside with its bustling shops and restaurants on Broadway. The street that the hotel itself is located on doesn't offer anything in the way of business, aside from a Dairy Queen. Portland is located 80 miles away from the hotel. Uncovered, outdoor parking is free and ample.
Rooms
48 clean rooms with a few home-like touches.
River Inn at Seaside's 48 rooms are clean, though small by some standards. Decor is mostly beige and brown, with mustard-yellow curtains and thick wood furniture. For views of the river, book a View Room, or expect to overlook the parking lot. Each room has a mini-microwave and small refrigerator, along with a Keurig coffeemaker. Bathrooms include shower/tub combos and single sinks. Dispensers of shampoo and conditioner are mounted to the wall. Because it's a family-friendly hotel, noise can be a problem in guest rooms, especially those near the stairs and on lower floors. For a quieter stay, request a room on the fourth floor away from the stairs and elevator. Pet-friendly rooms are available for an additional charge per night and come with a pet package of a doggie bowl and treats.
Features
Lots of freebies and an indoor pool
River Inn at Seaside offers lots of freebies to add value for guests: breakfast, Wi-Fi, bike rentals, DVD rentals, parking, and freshly baked cookies in the lobby are all included. For adults, there's a small fitness room and desktop computer, but most of the other amenities are geared towards kids: a game room, heated indoor pool and hot tub, and outdoor playground. Coin-operated laundry facilities are available. Other than breakfast, no other meals or alcohol are served on-site.
