This is the nicest hotel in town. If you are coming to Ilwaco, this is where you need to stay. However, it is not 5 stars, not even close. The on-site pub is very convenient and the food is excellent.

Clean property and nice room. Staff was great. Did not like the shower, very low water pressure in shower and small shower stall. shower head was way to high. They should install hand held shower head so you can clean your entire body.

If you’re looking to get away from the noise of more popular busy costal tourist destinations, this is the place for you. Tucked away in Ilwaco right on the pier is the perfect affordable little stay. With an attached bar and restaurant it makes for all the things you need in one place. Clean room, clean bedding and respectful staff and guests made this trip 1000x better. Highly recommended.

The property was quiet and well maintained. It was perfect for a peaceful weekend get away. I’m happy with the price we paid as well. Two things could use some improvement. The mattress that we slept on was so hard and uncomfortable that neither my husband or myself got a full night of sleep. The showers were comically small and didn’t have a functional shelf to set hygiene products on, so we kept the shower door open in order to grab products as we needed them. It felt silly to not include something as simple as a shelf to make the showering experience better.

The Salt is anything but salty. This place was very nice, right beside the bay. There is a bar open Wed-Sunday till 7:30 because- well no MickeyDonalds in town which would have been nice if I stayed there other than Monday and Tuesday. The staff was VERY friendly and asked if I needed anything several times. The room was spacious and comfy, memory foam mattress, well lit and had extra chairs/seating. The bar soap was craft soap from a local soap maker and it was super nice. I liked it so much I requested a T-Shirt (available for purchase at the pub). Added plus-they give you “shop rags” for washing the 300+ miles of motorcycle road grime off your pretty face (so you don’t ruin the good washcloths ya filthy animal)

A quiet little corner that deserves exploring. The Salt Hotel overlooks an active fisherman’s harbor. The sea air rejuvenates. It’s a simple room well kept and most adequate for exploring the area. Of notable mention- the attached restaurant. Although we didn’t get a chance to eat there on this trip it’s been a favorite on that coast. I’d say it’s the most authentic Cioppino you’ll find. Friendly bar hosting some interesting local characters. We will continue to visit the Salt Hotel.
