Inn of the Four Winds

Inn at the Four Winds is a treasure. Fantastic service, great location, and friendly, caring staff set this hotel apart from the rest. My wife and I have stayed here several times and are always impressed with the personal care and detail we receive. The rooms are clean and well taken care of. It’s a small hotel compared with others in the area but the attention and care you’ll receive is massive. My wife and I stayed here for our birthdays (we’re a day apart in age) and there were birthday balloons, taffy, chocolate chip cookies, and a hand written note waiting for us in our room upon our arrival. Beach view and easy access as well as a sun deck with chairs along the beach front walkway so you can relax, soak up some sun, and people watch. We’ll keep coming back for years to come!

We were very pleased with our stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The accommodations were excellent and well maintained. The room has a small fridge, sink, microwave, and coffee maker, pretty much a whole kitchen minus the stove. Most of the rooms open up onto the beach, ours did not and was slightly discounted. They ask that you book for at least two nights, but this room had people booked with a single night gap, so they were able to accommodate our single night request. The room had a big king bed with memory foam that was very comfortable and it has a gas fireplace. They will provide beach towels and chairs upon request. They also have a DVD lending library free of charge. The room has basic cable, but there is no on demand movie option. The only complaint I had was that the free wifi was a bit slow. But I shouldn’t be spending time on line while at the beach anyway. If we come to Seaside again, we’ll be staying here.

Excellent, friendly, accommodating staff, great rooms, great location, great views. We booked two nights here. We thought we had booked a full ocean view room but it was a partial so we asked to be moved. Moving was no problem for the first night but we would have to switch rooms again for the second night. We wondered if we would have to stick around to move our stuff but they offered to do it so we could go enjoy the area. They go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay.

This was one of the cutest places I’ve ever stayed. The staff at the front desk was so accommodating and sweet. We were greeted so warmly! We rented one of the cabins at Inn of the Four Winds, and it was beyond adorable. I can’t believe we found such a great deal. The property is right on the beautiful beach and only a short, few block walk to downtown Seaside. It was quiet, and cozy, and so cute. It is a really short drive to Cannon Beach, however, Seaside is much more affordable and family friendly to stay in. We were kicking ourselves for only staying one night! I did not want to leave. You have to stay here, you will love it.

I have been to a few inns in the area and this was by far my best experience. The ladies at the desk were more than kind and helpful. Very clean rooms and an overall very positive experience. The hotel is situated on the beach close enough to walk downtown, but far enough away to be in a quite area of the beach. I will be visiting again, thank you for the wonderful room.

This is a really difficult review to write. I’m torn between 4 stars or 5. Is there a 4.9? And as one reviewer, Bill from Vancouver, already said, «Don’t stay here… really…or I’ll loathe you!» Well, Bill is right. With only 10 rooms, I’m gonna loathe you too. And Bill. And anyone else who happens to stay here when we want to come to Seaside!
Here’s the real deal, folks: This place is a gem. The reviews are spot on. When I decided at the last minute (Monday night before the weekend we wanted to come) to book a hotel in Seaside, I went to Unilocal.This is the only place with an overall 5 star rating.
Texted my son, who has stayed in and around this area numerous times over the years with his Air Guard unit and he suggested The River Tide. I started to book River Tide online but just couldn’t bring myself to hit «confirm». Looking again at the reviews, I decided to call Inn of the Four Winds. It was after 9pm but I thought, «Why not?»
So thankful I did. Can’t remember who answered, but the gal was wonderful. She said they still had one room available for the weekend: queen with a pullout sofa bed for $ 189. We chatted a bit more about why we were coming (our son is deploying again) and we were going to swing by and pick up our daughter at OSU for one last family weekend. Everything was coming together perfectly. The weather report for the weekend said clear & sunny. After hanging up the phone, I turned to my wife and said, «Done. I think we are really going to like this place. That lady was so nice!»
Arrived just after 4pm Friday afternoon. The clouds had rolled in, the wind had picked up and I had packed shorts. No biggie. It was still 60ish. Wife & daughter waited in the car while I went to check us in. Walked up the steps and was warmly greeted by Cathy who immediately said, «You must be Keith. I just tried to call you.» Turns out Cathy had made the decision to swap our room with another guest that was having difficulty with the stairs. Our reservation didn’t say anything about room preference so when Cathy couldn’t reach me, she opted to make the switch and hope for the best. She was so nervous, but I quickly assured her it would be NO PROBLEM. We are very laid back about these things. Besides, Cathy said our room was actually going to be an upgrade to a King suite with a Queen. Cool. My daughter will enjoy not sleeping on a pullout and have her own room.
We chatted a bit more about amenities, firewood for the beach, DVDs they had available and restaurant suggestions. Cathy drew a map and listed several I had already bookmarked on Unilocal.Gave her a thumbs up and went to grab the girls and get us moved in for the weekend.
Room 201. Second floor, extreme south end of the building. Opened the door and was immediately delighted in the spaciousness of the room. Definitely an oooo-​aaaaah moment as we all said in unison, «Oh wow. OH WOW. Look at this. Oh look at THIS.» To say we were impressed is an understatement. I knew we’d struck gold and Inn of the Four Winds was going to be a regular getaway for us in years to come. Quickly doing the math, the price we pay for semi annual trips to Hawaii… we could stay here a solid month!
Ok — so why the four stars? Or 4.9 stars? You are gonna think I’m being picky, but this is more for the owners /​management to read carefully and not let a good thing go to their head. This is truly a beautiful little hotel. Service is superb. Couldn’t be better. But… looking closely at the other pics and reading the reviews, I see some wear & tear that will get away from them if left unchecked. I’d be heartbroken to see this gem go downhill. Please don’t let that happen! A broken door handle here, paint chips, wall rubs and scuffs there… some peeling wall paper in the corner. Again, my eyes were scrutinizing the little things. But that’s only because I don’t want them to grow into big things. Love this place! Will stay here again & again.
In closing, I’ll steal from Bill in Vancouver, don’t you stay here… or I’ll have to loathe you!

We stayed here 4÷10−4÷12÷15. A lovely, out of the way, but still near enough, small inn with an outstanding crew! Our room was amazing with the view, the tub, bed, and pillows. I even loved the décor! The staff took care of our every need quickly and with a smile. The only minor negatives were peeling wallpaper in the bathroom, scratchy towels, and the chips on the cabinet surrounding the microwave. We will definitely be back!!! And soon!

Don’t stay here. Seriously. This place is amazing and I want there to always be a room there for us and if you stay here that might not always happen. You’ll stay here. Fall in love with it, and then start finding excuses to spend the weekend in seaside just to stay here, just like we do. Then, some weekend when WE want to get away you will have just taken the last room, and I’ll privately loathe you for days… possibly weeks. And you wouldn’t want that now would you?
Please don’t make me loathe you.

I came for two days in February as a «retreat», time to go off by myself. My husband and I had walked by the Inn on a previous trip to the Oregon coast. I was first impressed with the location (right on the Promenade with balconies looking out at the beach and ocean), then the staff who showed me the 2^nd floor balcony room that would be safe for a woman staying alone. I reserved then, and the next day, arranged for a massage in room during my stay. Once I arrived, I was often delighted by the extras — robes, real dishes, bowls and silverware, hot chocolate, microwave, fridge and sink so I (could eat in-​room when I wanted), pass to the gym, offer of movies (lots), great bed, chairs & table on balcony.
It is a quick 9 block walk down the promenade to the «Turnaround» at Broadway, then a delightful walk up Broadway for every kind of store, coffee and meals. Loved walking up to the river (a few blocks) with a hot cup of coffee. Safeway is a few blocks further across 101 in case it’s needed. It was a great experience!

WONDERFUL hotel! Holy moly. We spent a solid 30 minutes calling hotels in seaside and cannon beach after a spur of the moment decision to drive there. Every hotel was full! It was very stressful, driving into town at 8:00 PM with nowhere to stay. I came across Inn of the Four Winds on Unilocal and saw a 5 star rating. I figured they were probably full (like the other 20 hotels I called) but decided to give it a shot! Cathy answered the phone and was so accommodating and friendly. She informed me she had THREE OPTIONS! This was like a light at the end of a long and dark tunnel.
We arrived at the hotel and met Cathy in person, who is a ray of sunshine. She has soft cookies ready when you walk in the door and lots of movies to choose from (and puzzles!) we decided on The Cottage which is ADORABLE! Can’t say enough good things about the cottage. It was impeccably clean, the beds were comfortable and the décor was so cute. We could not have imagined a better place to spend the evening!
Cathy even called a local restaurant that was about to close and asked them to stay open for us (which they did). We were able to enjoy a good Italian meal in town thanks to her customer service.
Very thankful to have found this place and will definitely be staying here again!

Can’t say enough about this place! The staff are excellent and the rooms are super clean and comfortable. It’s at the far end of the prom so it’s relatively quiet and peaceful at night but only about a 10 minute walk to the shops and restaurants in town.
We’ve stayed here numerous times and never been disappointed. We’ll definitely be back again.

This hotel is AMAZING! I had read all the great reviews prior to making our reservation so I was expecting them to be pretty descent. but wow! From super clean room to outstanding staff and great location, they are worth every penny. If you come to seaside, they are by far the best! We also went to cannon beach and looked at some places to stay there because we wanted to spend majority of our time down there. I have to say as many nice hotels as cannon beach has, I still think this place is the best. The drive is only 7 miles and you just cannot ask for better. And yes, the cookies in the office are very good. This hotel really made our experience at seaside a memorable one. Our kids loved it also. They are very accommodating to families.

This place is awesome. My wife and I have stayed here multiple times and each stay has been great. This last stay was in one of the ocean front rooms and it was awesome. The bed and sheets were amazing!!! Everything is super clean and very well decorated. You are literally feet from the beech. Everything about it is awesome.
One of the best things about The Inn of the Four Winds is the customer service. They will do everything in their power to make sure your stay is comfortable. My wife and I decided to try a new place for our vacation this weekend and it was terrible. It was so bad we decided it wasn’t worth it to stay. I called Inn of the Four Winds and reserved a room. We drove 2 hours to the Inn an when I got there at 8pm they were there with a last minute honeymoon package for us. They SAVED our weekend!
We will continue to go back to the Inn of the Four Winds for years to come I’m sure! If you are going to the Seaside area it is a great choice and I would definitely recommend it!

One of our family MINI VACAY SPOT! Incredible service, ultra clean rooms with such a great mini yard for my kids to play. We prefer this Inn over any other hotels in the area, it may be the LAST hotel on the promenade BUT WE LIKE IT THAT WAY! (No noise at night) The staff here are more into detail when it comes to making you feel at home. From refreshments to watching over your vehicle! Totally going back again this year!

My husband and I stayed three nights at the Inn of the Four Winds and had a wonderful time. The accommodations were clean, quiet, safe, the view was beautiful and the staff was beyond helpful. We had a wedding in the town over (Gearhart) and one of the staff members personally drove us and dropped us off! It was so generous. One night we decided to have a fire on the beach and the Inn supplied beach chairs, towels, anything we could possibly need! We would definitely recommend this to a friend and even come back again ourselves! Thanks for a fantastic weekend on the Oregon Coast!

My girlfriend and I and our four kids stayed here recently and LOVED it. The rooms are beautiful, everything is high quality (beds/​bedding, furniture, kitchens/​kitchenettes, bathrooms, etc) and the views are amazing. Even in the details, with fresh cookies and saltwater taffy waiting for us on the table when we walked in. What really makes this place stand out though is the service. Everyone is very friendly and want to make sure you’re having a great time. We told them that we wanted to have a fire on the beach that night and they supplied us with kids toys, blankets, skewers for hot dogs and marshmallows, and chairs and even a wagon for us to carry everything! So awesome. Back late? No problem. Had a place for us to put everything when we finally got back around 11. You don’t get service like that very often, if at all, from other places — it was definitely a first for us. We definitely recommend it and will definitely be back.

We stayed here over New Years and had a fantastic time. The location, on the promenade and right on the beach, is exceptional. Staff were fabulous and very helpful with providing local recommendations. The Inn is located amongst a neighbourhood of cottages, but the main tourist street and several restaurants are only a 10 min walk away along the beach promenade. Our Oceanview Queen room had a fridge, microwave and dishes/​cutlery so we were able to buy supplies at Safeway (about a 15 min walk away, on Hwy 101) to eat some light meals in our room. They also had gratis soup and cookies in the lobby for guests each evening. Especially after seeing how mediocre some of the alternative hotels along the promenade were, we were very happy to have found this wonderful place (thanks to the prior Unilocalers’ visits).

Had a great experience here. Got a cottage on 3^rd Ave. Nice size cottage for a quite good price. Living room, alcove w/​two beds, one bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Service was very nice, let us get as many cookies and taffy as we wanted. Even better, they had a nice array of movies we could rent for free! Beds were comfy, had Blu-​Ray player and nice TV inside. WiFi was a little weak but fast when it was on. ⁵⁄₅ great service at good prices and also close to downtown.

This is our first stay at the Inn. We have stayed at all the hotels owned by the Martin Hospitality group. We love them all but… the Tempur-​pedic Mattress is not for us. Extra firm is not our thing. With that aside — if they change the mattress we will once again stay at any of their wonderful hotels: Stephanie Inn at Cannon Beach, Surfsand Resort in Cannon Beach or here at the Inn of the Four Winds.
And to comment on another reviewer — the fireplace is a little tricky to light.
If you want charm, great service and clean comfy rooms — you can’t go wrong here. And — it’s also far enough down the Prom from the circle drive that it is quiet. A plus for those of us who are done raising our children and want a quiet, relaxing get away yet close enough to walk to all the great restaurants in town!

I almost passed up this hotel because I wasn’t able to book online, but I’m so so so happy I called. Perhaps I learned a lesson that human-​communication IS a good thing.
Our room was very nice and I had a GREAT nights sleep on the memory foam mattress. Listening to the ocean in front of the gas fireplace made the night unforgettable. We were able to purchase a bundle of firewood from the hotel and they even let us borrow lawn chairs and extra blankets to take out onto the beach. DVDS are available to borrow and we were thrilled that they had the Goonies, as our friend had never seen it.
I highly recommend this hotel. It’s in a quiet area off the Prom, and only a 5 minute walk to the main street, Broadway.
