The Inn At Manzanita

Very nice to accommodate our family last minute on Christmas Day! We stayed in the penthouse for one night. It was clean and very big. 3 bedrooms downstairs, 2 living areas upstairs, kind of a great room, nice large kitchen. No decks or balconies. You had to go through one of the bathrooms to get to the master. Plenty of towels and pillows. Coffee hot cocoa and tea were supplied, and plenty of dishes. Close to the beach and a nice coffee shop right across the street with pastries.

Really disappointed. While the location is ideal, what I paid for the Penthouse Suite was too much for what I got. No dressers/​drawers for clothes in the bedrooms, other than master. Only two hangers provided. When I asked about the drawer situation I was told most people «just live out of their suitcase.» At +/​-​$ 500 I should not expect to live out of my bag. No screens on the windows so flies buzzing around all the time. I will stay at the Coastal Cabins from now on, they are luxurious and worth every penny. Too bad Inn at Manzanita we tried!

It was a good, affordable place to stay for our anniversary, the room was in pretty good shape, a nice location in Manzanita just a quick walk to the beach, the balcony was nice with the partial ocean view, and the guy who let us check in early was super nice. However, we aren’t sure if we’ll be back for the following reasons:
* The bed was way, way too soft. Our backs hurt by the morning. Maybe we’re just getting old. A mattress upgrade is definitely in order to attract more folks for a romantic getaway.
* We were in the Mariner room and every step the people upstairs took we could hear as the floors creaked above us. And when they got up at 5:30am and started gabbing? We could hear that too.
* Our room had a hot tub in it which was more like an oversized bathtub as there were no temperature settings and there was one area which you should not sit near as you’ll get sucked into the wall of the tub (ouch!) Plus they have a sign up that says «do not fill it up any higher than the jets, which is about 6−8» high, so we sat in it not fully immersed in water sooo… not very romantic.
And a smaller thing was that we did rent one of the two dog-​friendly room, but there was nothing dog-​welcoming like most places have (i.e., bowl for water/​food, etc.). In the future these little things would be nice to have.
Wondering if the good rooms are the non-​dog rooms based on some of the five star reviews?

We stayed here for one night. The location is about a block off of the beach. We had an ocean view room — which means that, yes, you can see the ocean but it is obstructed by other buildings. We had a private balcony, large jet tub and a double sided gas fireplace. Room was clean, quiet and roomy. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend the location to anyone visiting the town. As for location, the Inn is across the street from a café and a pizza restaurant. Just down one block there is a sports pub and a handful of more food options as you travel away from the beach. The town is very quaint — nothing is far from anything else. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again. Only negatives I can list is that on the night we were there the cable tv was not working nor was the wifi internet — I assume these were both related.

It’s clean, friendly, and VERY close to the beach! It was adequate, but I can’t say we loved it.
The room we had advertised a view, in fact we paid extra for it. The view was weak — technically you could see about 10 feet of ocean, but not worth the extra money.
There was also a lot of street noise, both late at night from the bar next door, and early in the morning from the coffee shop across the street. Adding to the noise factor, the walls are paper thin and the floors are cheap laminate, so you hear everything your neighbors are doing.
If you are looking for quiet, this is not the place.
There are also an inordinate number of little laminated signs that make it feel kinda tacky. The jacuzzi tub was nice, but again, so many rules!

We were in town for a wedding and stayed at the Inn. Loved it.
The staff was so helpful and friendly. The room was so charming with a fireplace and a jacuzzi in the room (bow Chica wow wow)
Just steps away from the ocean and restaurants. Great parking just for guests. It was so crowded sin the area that, it was a luxury to park.
I am already dreaming of a return trip!
