It was super easy checking in and out.

No staff on property seemed strange, but I didn't need any assistance so it was cool.

A great, cosy place to stay for the night, and a handy stopping point when travelling down the Oregon coast. Fun theming, very clean and close to shops and restaurants.

Great value but missing some necessities.

Good value but missing some necessities. Easy check in. Great communication.

The shower/bath tub didn’t drain well and the porch light was not on. Not a safe feeling when trying to access the room at night

Avari response:

Brett, we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us. It’s wonderful to hear that you found great value in your stay and that our check-in process and communication met your expectations.

We’re truly sorry to learn about the issues with the shower drainage and the porch light.

When looking @ the inn on booking.com, there is no mention of self checkin. I have never experienced this before & feel that this should be stated in bold and upfront. The room itself was great, comfortable & spacious. I don't think 🤔 that for the price you charge , you should not be asking customers to strip the beds. Overall, knowing what l know, l would stay there again.

..

Avari response:

Michael, we appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you found the room comfortable and spacious. We understand that self-check-in can be a new experience for some guests, and we will certainly consider how to make that information more prominent in our listings.

Regarding the bed stripping, we aim to keep our cleaning process efficient while maintaining a high standard of cleanliness, but we understand your perspective. Your thoughts are valuable to us, and we’re grateful you would consider staying with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay.
