Astoria, Oregon sits where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, creating a shoreline that blends riverfront and oceanfront views. Hotels such as the Best Western Columbia River Waterfront Hotel Astoria and Motel 6 Astoria put you minutes from the Astoria Riverwalk and the Columbia River Maritime Museum. An indoor swimming pool at the Best Western adds family appeal, while the Motel 6-a short walk from the water-emphasizes budget-friendly rates with free Wi-Fi and parking.
Budget expectations vary: the Motel 6 Astoria offers some of the most affordable beach-area rates in town, while the Best Western's all-suite setup includes a hot breakfast, fitness center, and river-facing rooms. Stay along the Bayfront for close access to restaurants and trolley rides, or choose the highway-side location for easy road trips to Fort Stevens State Park. Book ahead during summer weekends, and confirm whether your preferred hotel charges extra for parking-though the options listed here include free parking.
