Hotel Shilo Inn Suites Newport (Newport, USA)

Guests raved about the stunning ocean views available from their bedrooms, allowing them to take in both sunrises and sunsets. Most rooms also provide views of the famous Yaquina Head Lighthouse and the south jetty. Guests on the third floor seemed to have the best views of all.

The hotel restaurant wad given great reviews, with inspired guests dining to the amazing sight of whales spouting in the distance. They loved the menu too, which features wonderful seaside fare, like classic clam chowder, fresh oysters, and lobster bisque.

Guests were fond of the hotel's convenient beach access. They also enjoyed many other nearby entertainment options like museums, golfing, charter boat fishing/tours, and the historic Light house, offering tours of its amazing interior. Whales and seals can be spotted from here too.

Many guests were disappointed with the hugely dated feel to the entire hotel, with the hallways described as bleak and musty smelling, and the bedrooms described as grungy, tired, and having worn, beaten-up furniture. Mold and grunge was also discovered in the bathrooms.

Guests were disappointed to discover that there was no A/C to help provide relief to the rooms, often described as hot and stuffy. To make matters worse, the windows could not be opened as an alternative.

On top of finding the rooms to be highly dated, basic room amenities that should be keeping up with the times were also found to come well short.The free Wi-Fi was found to be painfully slow, while the inefficient, ancient tube TV was found to be laughable.
