We loved our stay at the Inn at Otter Crest. The view is wonderful and we saw 3 whales from our deck. Staff is great. Low tide is so cool with the tide pools that form right in front of the Inn. Will stay here again!

Loved our stay at Otter Crest, our room had an ocean view and we saw whales from the balcony! Spacious room and bathroom, full kitchen (huge fridge/freezer), bed was really comfy and we slept well. Nice outside pool (heated, very warm) and jacuzzi very quiet when we went. Ate in the restaurant one night, bit pricey (ridiculous for a glass of wine) but tasty. Great location to tour up and down highway 101, and we could walk to the Devil's Punchbowl via the beach at lowtide.

Property was great. Room smelled a little musty, but once the slider was opened and the ocean air came in it was great. We seemed to be in adjoining rooms or next to rather. No big deal until i heard water running and a tv playing the next morning. Just left me feeling with little privacy. Especially since it was a big deal to not have cars/pollution near the rooms. Pool and hot tub were great. View was what we paid for. Didn’t realize until after booking about the walking. Didn’t seem like a big deal but it was uphill and my bf is an amputee. It wasn’t the distance but the incline. We had a great time but the distance to and from the room to the car was a bit of an issue. We got a bell hop/ride to the room and when we checked out. Didn’t think to ask for a ride just to the parking lot perhaps that was possible. Overall happy, maybe a little more privacy and transparency about the distance/incline walk to parking lot.

Individual units are privately owned and rates are based on SF and views. We had a view of the ocean over a building’s rooftop below. Grounds are beautiful and secluded. Be prepared to get your steps in unless you request a “golf cart ride”!

First time stay at this property. The room we reserved was very comfortable and extremely clean. It was great to have a room that did not have stairs for entrance. The view was amazing and the decor fit the experience. Room 354 with a kitchenette was a plus. The grounds are lush and beautiful and laundry room was provided. Gym on property needs an update but overall for just a relaxing stay it was great! Around the corner from property there is a MO’s seafood for food and coffee dessert shop,

The property was very nice and the view from the room exceptional. we wanted to go to the sauna and hot tub but we did not because of the very lengthy walk required we felt would not be worth it in the cool outside air while wet in a swimsuit.

Beautiful location. Grounds of the hotel were well kept. Had a nice pool and hot tub. The hotel is located in a hilly location so when walking around you will be going up and down hills and steps. Saw many whales right from our ocean view balcony.

This was a cute property as in the grounds were beautiful. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach and there’s also a restaurant. I could see how this was a place to go when it was first built but you can tell they’ve aged now. There was mold around the tub in the bathroom and cracked/peeling paint on ceiling. Also paper thin walls. You could legit hear full conversations and if someone coughed in the other room. I would come back if these ever got remodeled. For now not coming back.

We stayed 2 nights. After reading reviews I knew what to expect when it came to walking/getting a ride from staff to the room. There’s a parking lot up top. Walking to your room is a trek (we did it the first night with all our luggage) had I realized it was all uphill I would have opted for a ride in the golf cart. The next two days we did and the staff was super quick to give us a ride. Walking down wasn’t bad at all. We had king size ocean view and the very first night we immediately saw whales. The whole time we seen about 7+ whales right from our hotel room. My only two complaint was that the pillows were really flat. My husband had to go to the local Walmart (which is close btw ) and buy a new pillow. The other was that there is no AC and no fan. For someone who sleeps warm and likes noise at night having no fan was not ideal. I almost bought one from the Walmart. I highly recommend this hotel. We were able to walk to the beach (the stairs are a trek back up) but worth it! Local attractions like the devils punch bowl, lighthouse, pier and rogue brewing to name a few. I would encourage anyone to read reviews before coming so you know what to expect before being surprised. I will also mention that nearby for breakfast is the Nye Beach Cafe and they were absolutely phenomenal!

The views! Front desk hung up on me after I requested pool towels for the 2nd time. We had asked for them 2 hours earlier ( they were supposed to be in room) went to dinner came back & still no towels. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool or hot tub as there were only 3 small towels in room so it was choice to shower or hot tub, very disappointed ☹️ the restaurant on site not affiliated supposedly but avoid that place!
