In light of the firework presentation and farmer's market paired with brilliant weather, we feel fortunate to have found a room in the inn! But fate smiled on us as we traveled to Ilwaco with our two labradors and Salt Hotel welcomed our four-legged companions -- yes, plural. The rooms were fairly basic and thankfully no carpet. The hot and cold taps must have been European as they were on the wrong side of the highway but once we figured that out, there were no more cold showers. Proximity to the marina walk was great and we were minutes from both the Cape Disappointment and the Seaview, a great place to find beach access. Salt's pub served savory food and had a fantastic Old Fashioned. And they are down the way from another great restaurant with local friendly service. If I had a complaint, it would be the noise. While Salt can't control impolite guests at 1:30am, perhaps there's some noise canceling headphones for an additional fee. ;-) Overall, it was personable, in spite of the post-covid handling of check in and out, but that didn't keep the owner from saying hello and even knowing our names. We'll be back.
