Hotels Near Weird Sisters Freak Boutique in Astoria

I took a 2-day trip here to get away by myself for a couple of days and this could not have been a nicer spot for that. Everything in this gorgeous boutique hotel is designed for maximum relaxation and comfort, from the river views and watching sea lions swim by while sipping morning coffee, to the super-comfortable bed and Frette linens, to the delicious Scandinavian food and yummy cocktails in the hotel restaurant The Knot, to the unusual barrel saunas that guests can relax in. The staff are all incredibly nice, and were happy to upgrade my room when I asked for a river view (yes, I paid for it), and gave great recs on places to eat nearby too. I loved how so much that i wanted to see and experience was either within walking distance or a short drive away. I can't wait for my next stay!

STAFF Incredibly friendly and welcoming. I cannot speak highly enough. Questions were answered efficiently (including where to go for Espresso and where to go walking!). Faultless PARKING I parked nearby in 2hr parking at 4pm, which meant I had no charge. Maybe if you park earlier you would need to pay RECEPTION Outstanding, there is a lovely seating area on ground floor. At night you can put a film on (however my room had a TV also). ROOM What a stunning old building. I had the smallest (”Micro”) room with bathroom down the hall. For Europe the room is not small, for America it's modest. However the detail...lovers old style sink, windows and radiator. Such character! And a pencil-sharpener on the wall (!). Incredibly clean as are the showers and toilets. VALUE Outstanding, I booked months in advance and paid $69 for the Micro Room. Bargain for such a sqeaky clean atmospheric stay. FACILITIES Everything I needed, towels and well stocked showers. Free coffee in the morning. WARNING The American Market is not so familiar with modest sized rooms and shared showers (if thats the room you book). The website is clear and its reflected in the price however if you want a 'standard' hotel then book Holiday Inn....and miss out on this beautiful old building with real character!

This hotel is under the bridge. When it arrived, there was no twin room. I added 30 dollars to change the big bed water view room. It was worth it! The air conditioner was on at night, and the fireplace was burning gas. It was just right. It turned out that the morning by the sea was foggy and cold. The fireplace was not only warm, but also wet, great! The location is about1.5 kilometers outside the old city. The surrounding environment is suitable for walking, eating, watching the sunset. The experience is great! recommend!

Check in girl at front desk was great, very accomodating. Beds are very hard and no shampoo. Room had lots if room especially for all our bike gear. Very disappointed with the coffee, you had to go to front desk to get it first off. Second girl at front desk to lazy to make any. All three kraft empty at 7:30 am. She was not friendly at all. Gentle man before told her it was empty and did nothing to make coffee. Would not stay there again. Plus when I ask to receive copy of my receipt she said we can't print one...only email no thanks!

Location and views are great. The rooms are nicely furnished. They are rather small, especially considering the price charged (mid week in October). Breakfast is very nice. They replaced the wine hour with a voucher at the bar. That voucher doesn’t buy you a lot at the rather expensive bar ( this is Astoria, not NYC). The hotel very clean and well maintained. Everyone working there is very friendly and helpful.

We sere surprised when we pulled up to the hotel that it was located in an industrial area of the riverfront. The advertisement for the hotel shows views of a small craft marina but that wasn't our experience. The room we were given was at the end of a wing of the property that overlooked a mountain of cut logs waiting for shipment with logging trucks regularly going in and out with shipments of logs. Our stay started out good enough and quickly went down hill fast. The front desk was friendly and accommodating. We were taken aback by the very tired appearance of the building which appeared to be undergoing limited repairs. Our room was the same. The chairs in our room were dirty and frayed and the deck outside was in need of paint. Once we settled in we tried to turn on the television but it wouldn't work. After several calls to the front desk they sent someone up who worked for about 45 minutes on it. Finally we asked for a different room and they moved us next door. So we re-packed our belongings and moved. Again we tried the TV in the second room and it didn't work either. Same person came back and worked for another 45 minutes to 1 hour to try to get it working to no avail. At that point we said forget it that we would take it up with the front desk in the morning. About 30 minutes later we hear a scratching at our door and when we opened it we were shocked to find two individuals trying go get it. They said the front desk had assigned them the room. Possession is 9/10ths and we weren't moving again and they headed back to the office. The final straw as the next morning when we went down for the included breakfast only to find there was none. The person working the breakfast said the truck didn't get there in time with their supplies. It goes without saying we weren't happy campers when we spoke to the manager. They did give us a large credit for all our trouble but I wouldn't recommend staying there until repairs and upgrades are made. I would hope they would be a little more truthful with their advertising.

Excellent location on trolley line and river walk. In view of river, goonie house, kindergarten cop school out front door. Sea lions, boats, river great experience. Clean room, good breakfast, amazing staff. Highly recommend if staying in Astoria.

I really like the swimming pool on the first floor. Although it is not big, it is very convenient. It is from the second floor and downstairs. At the riverside, next to the river view railway station, it is convenient to take a small train. There is also a pier where you can drive straight past the wooden trestle and buy fresh crabs.
