Commodore Hotel

Was a little leery of the old building and street-parking only, but it worked out just fine. Sure, things are old, but they’re perfectly functional! Street parking was a worry, but it opened up just fine a little after we checked in. Cool spot for sure. Would stay again. Only complaint was it was a hot day, and there’s no aircon. Maybe that and noise through open windows, but it’s a city, what are you going to do? Unfortunately we missed the opening times for the restaurant/bar/whatever downstairs because it was a holiday weekend. TL;DR was nice, we may come back before too long.

Like many places in the coast, there was not AC. The ceiling fan worked decently. The window faced an inside roof alcove thing, so not much wind came our way. The shade was broken so we could not lift it up to let air in. Other than that it was described correctly. Although I can’t recall of it said a full bed of not (black was a full). It was clean and beds were comfortable, although on harder side. It was a decent place for the price for one night. You can hear everything from inside to outside. It is an interesting place and decorated nicely for a very old building with small rooms.

Fun hotel, right in the center of Astoria. Great options to eat all in walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

Cool historic building in the heart of downtown. We love Astoria and visit often but likely we wouldn't stay here again. It was fine, but that's about it. We had a shared floor bathroom and the women's toilet was broken.

Loved it

Check-in was simple and hotel was super quaint. Staff were very nice and competent. We had a lovely time!

Would never stay here again, no air conditioning

Weirdly brief check in time - (3- 5pm) and slightly worse for wear compared to the last time I visited maybe 10 years ago when it was a newly outfitted Ace hotel knockoff, but overall fine for the price despite having old chocolates from some previous tenant left in the bedside drawers. Nice little DVD / game collection in the lobby. Great location and charming in it’s own way. Broder is a good restaurant in my experience but didn’t visit this time, so I have no idea if it’s up to standard anymore. No front desk past check in, so It’s essentially an adult hostel I guess...

The hotel is in the perfect location for nearby shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk along the water. The parking is manageable and free as long as you time it correctly. The rooms were mostly clean, the bathrooms could use an update as the sink was peeling and older. Perfectly good hotel for a short stay in the area with most of the time spent outside the room. The walls are very thin and you can hear your neighbors as well as the very loud street noises at night. We did appreciate that they had a great selection of DVDs and board games in the lobby. Nice place overall just be prepared for some inconveniences.

We liked the stay, the room was spacious, the only thing was the street was noisy, other than that everything was fine.

Great place

The Commodore is a no frills, century old Astoria hotel that I assume was a historic fisherman’s dorm from the looks of it — the rooms are austere with only a sink

Terrible

There were public restrooms and showers.. the bed was very uncomfortable.. no one at the desk.. I miss customer service the way when I was growing up!

Good location

This is such a cute little gem of a hotel. We had a lovely stay. Late check-in was very smooth and the amenities were well thought out. The location was great for us to walk the town. Parking was easy and convenient. We’ll definitely be back!

Convenient location

The building has beautiful old charm. There's enough nostalgia left to appriciate the building, yet the rooms are updated and comfortable, integrating the old and the new. Our bed was very comfortable, helping us to get a great night sleep. The shower was OMG amazing. The water pressure, combined with the large shower head was absolutely wonderful. In all, this was a great stay, highly recommended, and we would stay there again.

The small room has no options at all for heating water for tea or coffee.

Sadly, while I really want to be able to recommend the Commodore, I simply can't based on the noise factors. It's a cool hotel in a historic old building. But the window glass is paper thin, the window frames might be the originals, and the amount of noise from the street was insane. Yes, they offer ear plugs at the front desk, but that's not really the answer. With no AC and abundant cool night air, you want to leave the windows open. But you simply can't if you want to sleep past 5am when garbage trucks and construction vehicles stream by. There was nothing else wrong with the place. Location is AMAZING. Staff was super friendly. Room was clean and cozy (we had a private bath room, and the shower was great!) But it was Sofa King loud, if you know what I mean. Unbearable in the early hours of the morning. It makes me sad to leave a bad review on that, but I would not stay there again, despite all the other positives. Nothing outweighed that loudness in the morning.
