The Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn garners praise for its inviting atmosphere and clean, comfortable rooms, despite some noting the rooms can be on the smaller side. Guests appreciate the hotel's attentive service and the value it provides, complemented by amenities like beach access and fire pits.
The splendid ocean-front views and convenient location near highway 101 enhance the experience. Although most find the pricing reasonable, a few guests feel it could be better aligned with the overall offerings.

Hotel's Favourite
We’ve stayed there several times through the years. Mostly in April to celebrate a birthday❤️🩹
It’s a lovely clean hotel with great hospitality people at the front desk.
The views are exceptional … the Yaquina lighthouse is a wonderful view from our 6 floor room.
The bistro restaurant has very good food. Somewhat limited but always tasteful.
The Dungeness crab omelettes are to die for.

A well-designed and operated hotel, with great access to beautiful Agate Beach. Rooms were a bit small but nicely furnished, many with good views of the ocean and Yaquina Head and its lighthouse in the distance. (We had a "lighthouse view" room, which turned out to have an ocean view but smaller windows; in the future, I'll pay a bit more for a standard ocean view room. But still, the view was great.) The lobby was cozy, and furnished with a small telescope, a chess set, game table, and fireplace, and front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Main trade-off is the location: good beach access, but not walking distance to much else except a Walmart, so a car is required to get to restaurants or shops.

We appreciate you offering us a review. We enjoyed having you here at the Best Western Plus Agate Beach Inn, and it is wonderful you were able to see the lighthouse from your room. I certainly would love to work on getting you into the perfect fit next time you are in town to soak up more of the ocean though. We are happy our lobby kept you entertained, and I will indeed convey your praise to our delightful team for their warmth and dedication. Be sure to return soon!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We stayed here for 3 nights. It is a very short walk to the beach. My wife thought Agate Beach was one of the better beaches along the coast for walking and exercising. We were on the 4th floor facing the ocean. The view was really nice. The sliding door opens up to a small (18") ledge with hand railing. Not enough to go sit out there, but enough to feel the breeze and hear the ocean. The room was standard Best Western. The beds were comfortable and the room was good sized. This Best Western does not supply a free breakfast in the morning. They have a restaurant on the premises were you can go for breakfast. I don't know how good it is because it was closed during our stay. We went to the grocery store and brought back food to put in the fridge for breakfast. My wife loved the place and wants tom go back next time we go to the coast. I was disappointed with some of the service. The staff seemed somewhat confused over several issues. When we checked in on Sunday we were told the restaurant was open for breakfast and the time. When we got to the room we looked at the menu they provided and it said they were only open Thursday through Sunday. When I called the desk I was told that they closed it down because of covid and they could only seat up[ to 25% capacity, but yet they said they would be open 4 days at the end of the week. We were also told we could order over the phone and get the food packaged to take back to the room. I found it hard to understand that if they seat 25% of the guests and the rest could get food to go why they weren't open. It also would have been nice to know this ahead of time. Also the two times I was at the front desk they had guests there that were very upset. One couple had been told they had reservations and when they tried to check in they were not in the system. The hotel was full and they were not happy. The other coupe apparently had been promised that they could change rooms on the second night of their stay for an ocean view room. Whoever promised them that at the hotel failed to enter that into the computer. You might want to book early to make sure you will be able to get an ocean view and then double check to make sure they didn't mess it up. Other than these few things, the stay was great and we will be back again

This may be one of the nicest properties I have found on the Oregon Coast! The property was renovated in 2018 (according to the staff) and it was done in a very tasteful manner. The property was decorated in a very modern style that is very nice. A lot of renovations are done quickly and some things are not updated correctly. They did not skip any of the little details. I will definitely stay at the property again. One of the best Best Western Plus locations you will find!

This property is on the beach and the view rooms are amazing. You could probably pass this Best Western off as a Marriott, it is that nice. The balcony was small but useful and the slider door was commercial grade as well as the screen. Slide the door open for the fresh breeze and sounds from the ocean, slide the screen door into place to keep the bugs out. Most sliders and screens in hotels are in poor repair, not here. I have never seen this quality for a balcony door. Much appreciated. Slept on a Beautyrest mattress. No problems there. Restaurant and lounge were operating, room service available. Most guests were observing Covid 19 precautions

Our daughter requested this property specifically over the Hallmark, our usual getaway when we want to splurge. We came over from the Valley and we were allowed to check in early.
The room was okay...once we got in....the key cards didn’t work and we had to go back down from 6th floor and carrying bags. Waited in a long line, again. It wasn’t fun waiting in line to hear the customer in front of me paying $70 less as they booked on Expedia. They had the same two queen, ocean view room. I mentioned that to staff and no one cares.
The bathroom “barn” doors are a joke after the remodel. Absolutely zero privacy. There is minimum 1.25 inch gap between door and walk (peek a boo isn’t fun as an adult).
Went to the pool and it was extremely busy. The toilet was clogged, there were no paper towels, and the cloth pool towels ran out.
We had decided to stay here three times over the past few years when wanting to save a bit over the Hallmark. Honestly we learned our lesson and will stick with clean, private bathrooms, and just accepting a bit more money.
If you are going to stay at this property, please do yourself a favor and save $70 booking on Expedia. Sure wish I could have saved that....

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We have enjoyed having you here with us, and we are glad we could accommodate your early arrival. However, it is disheartening to learn of the difficulties you experienced, and we sincerely apologize for missing the mark. I can understand your frustration with the key cards, and we will look into that further to prevent it in the future. Also, we appreciate your input on the room as we always look for new ways to improve. This certainly does not sound reflective of our high standards, and we would love the opportunity to offer you a five-star visit!

Last minute change put us in a room on the lobby/driveway side instead of with a beach view that I had chosen when I booked with Expedia. We were trying to be helpful to the hotel staff by allowing them to change our room, to accommodate some other guests, and it was disappointing to say the least that being helpful took us out of our beach view room to the noisy lobby side without even a thank you for our trouble. There is no continental breakfast right now, even though it is advertised as having it, so don’t book here counting on that to help save money. The hotel restaurant is very expensive. Room was fine but didn’t seem so clean. The phone was dirty, carpet stained and toilet dirty. The screen door didn’t lock to the little balcony, the sliding door is the only “window” that opens,so we weren’t able to leave it open for fresh air because it wasn’t safe for our 2 year old. Beds were comfortable, maid and staff were very nice. Just a so so visit though, especially at the price.

Courtney, it's disappointing to learn that we missed important opportunities to make your stay memorable, and for that we deeply apologize. Please know that when a guest books through a third-party site, room type will be based upon availability at check-in, and we truly regret that your assigned guest room fell short of expectations on this occasion. Your honest feedback is appreciated, as it's helpful to see where we are meeting your needs and how we can better serve you going forward. We hope you will allow us to show you an improved experience in future, as we trust we can win you over completely with a seamless getaway.

The hotel was nice however, there were a few issues with our stay. To start, during check-in, they tried charging me $200 more than what I had quoted when I set up my reservation. The gentleman at the front said that it was impossible to have that rate. I showed him the email that I received from Best Western and he still insisted that was an inaccurate price. That issue was resolved and the quoted price was honored however. The next issue was that the fridge was turned off when we got there so it had to be turned on and cooled down before we could put any food in it safely. I’ve never had a hotel do this, and it was a major inconvenience. Thirdly, any time the microwave was used, the breaker would pop. This was a known issue because when we called the front desk, they said it happens a lot and we have to take the microwave out of the cubby and press the reset button. Again, a major inconvenience. Another inconvenience we ran into was the entrance door for the hotel from the parking lot did not work. And last but not least, the hotel pool was closed for renovations. If they had disclosed this when I made reservations, I would have chose a different hotel. It may not seem like a big issue however this was the first vacation we took our daughter on, and among other things, she was super excited to swim in the hotel pool. We made our reservations only a week before the stay, so there should have been no issue disclosing the pool closure. Oh and I forgot to mention that they said our room would be cleaned daily (with the exception of making the bed due to COVID), but it was cleaned once and the only thing done was the trash taken out. We ran out of toilet paper as well as soaps. Not a big issue but an inconvenience to go to the front desk to get hygiene supplies that should have been refilled. In all, the vacation was fun and we didn’t spend much time at the hotel, but when we did we ran into a bunch of inconveniences.

We booked this room with the understanding from the booking agent that with rewards cad we would get extra points/gift card and breakfast. After booking and checking we find out that none of that was true for this property and the bill had damn near 70.00 worth of taxes and fees. (Could’ve flown to Vegas for less) The staff was using COVID as an excuse for everything. Covid isn’t an excuse for awful service and extremely high prices.

My wife and I just concluded a wonderful 3 night stay here. Our 6th floor room had a beautiful view of the beach and Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Beach access is only steps away, the rooms and all areas inside and out are super clean, and the on premises restaurant is upscale and delicious.
We strongly suggest spending the extra money and getting an ocean view room...the view is just so perfect. The property is really close to a lot of conveniences, but feels very secluded and quiet when you are there.

I agree with Kathy T., it's a great facility and location, but you'd have to ask the hotel what they could provide to accommodate a wedding. However, my wife and I just spent 2 nights at the iconic Heceta Head Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast (between Yachats and Florence), and they host weddings. The B+B has a huge fenced private area that is magnificent.
Another idea...we also stayed 2 nights at the Wayside Lodge just north of Yachats, and they have a pretty large grassy area from the lodging area to the easy to access beach. I'm not sure if they could accommodate a special event like a wedding, so maybe give them a call and talk to Lyndsey.
Feel free to see the reviews I left for the places I've mentioned here on T. Advisor for wome pictures.
I believe they do offer online check in, but we went in. There were a couple people in front of us and it was interesting seeing and hearing how they took care of the issue the people were having. I booked directly on the BW website after checking the Travelocity and other sites. I got a better price for the room. The people in front of me booked through Expedia and actually talked to an agent. They requested an ocean view and had pets. The room they got was on the other side and they were not aware of the pets. The hotel staff were gracious and were able to accommodate their needs, but were unable to do anything about the fee from Expedia, hopefully they were able to get a full refund.
This location is probably too far north to have a good view of Yaquina Bay if fireworks viewing is the point of the trip.
You can have 5 people in the room. Thank you for asking!
