Even though this might be the only hotel in town, it is an EXCELLENT choice. I’ve stayed here for pleasure and then ended up staying here for work multiple times. From the front desk greeting to the breakfast to the wonderful clean rooms, this is a great hotel! The ONLY complaint (not worthy of even deducting a star) I have is a lack of bacon every morning at breakfast. Some days have bacon but as we all know, bacon is needed every day :-).
This is my second stay at the Clatskanie River Inn. I happened by this place on a vacation last summer and when I ended up on a business trip to this same small town, I knew where to stay! The place is simple, the people are friendly, things are spotlessly clean, and the breakfast is pretty nice. The ONLY downside I have is that with staying there a week, there wasn't bacon every day for breakfast ;-). I appreciated the egg casseroles that were served every day, but I would really have liked having an option to not have to have hash browns or anything mixed in my eggs as well as having a meat choice to go with it. I'm a heavy protein eater for breakfast and it was hard to keep the carbs out of my meal. But that was really minor within the grand scheme of things in a great hotel!
My wife and I stay here a few times per year. The staff are friendly, the rooms are good sized and clean, it's quiet, there's a great park right next door, and all the restaurants and bars are within easy walking distance. We will continue to come back here.
