"Detail Matters!"
Not just a stay… but an experience! We truly enjoyed and appreciated all
your careful attention to detail and keeping of the craftsman era roots.
Loved the etched design on the shower doors and appreciated the heated
tile floor in the bathroom - (only hotel we've ever stayed in that had
this)! Loved being "bacon & egged" during our stay, and it was nice to
have a handmade waffle! Thank you again! We'll definelty be back!

"Loving Anniversary"
The Hotel Elliott is AMAZING! My wife and I have been blessed to have
traveled to a lot of destinations around the world. Being a native to
the Northwest, I love finding close proximities to stay at to feel like
we have been gone for a week when it's only for the weekend. Few places
we stay offer that experience.
When we booked the Hotel Elliott, I was skeptical. It sounded too good
to be real. When we arrived it was the essence of Hawaii with the huge
bouquet of flowers on the front desk. The experience went from great to
amazing in 2 days. Everything from the elegance of the rooms to the comfort
of the cigar room made you never want to leave the hotel. When we had
a glass of wine in the unbelievably decorated wine room, we opened another
bottle and enjoyed the live musician. We went up to the balcony where
there are beautifully arranged furniture to make you never want to get
up from there either. We could see the whole town and an amazing 180 degree
view of the Columbia River. There were even gas fire places up there with
a barbeque. Relaxing is all I can say.
Now, I have to finally mention the beds and my room. The atmosphere in
the room was stellar. The colors and craftsmanship of the room made us
feel like we were in a very expensive facility. No expense was spared
to give you a feeling of royalty and comfort. The beds are more comfortable
than my $1500 pillow top I have at home. I felt like I was away for a
week. Although it is downtown, I have never had more fun exploring a little
city in my life. You don't have to drive anywhere.

"Once Again!"
This was my third stay at the Elliot. My opinion after my previous two
visits remains the same. It's the best show in town! The accommodations
are very comfortable. The heated bathroom floors are a nice touch and
the oversized Jacuzzi tub fills quickly. Directly across the street is
one of Astoria's best dinner houses (The Schooner) with a great little
bar. Other restaurants are within a short walk. Do I recommend? Absolutely!

"Weekend Wedding"
I just wanted to thank the Elliott's management and staff for
all of your help in planning our wedding. All the guests loved the location
and everyone at the hotel was very easy to work with! And we couldn't
have been happier with our choice to have it there. :)
Thanks again! M. Biehl - June 2008
"Astoria is amazing and the Hotel Elliot is too!"
An amazing Hotel in an amazing town. So happy that we
stayed here on our trip in April of 2006. We will be back
in October 2007!

"Great location, comfortable, good value!"
The beds at the Hotel Elliot are the most comfortable that I have ever
slept in. If you think a bed is just a bed, think again! Otherwise the
room was small but elegantly appointed, complete with heated floors in
the bathroom. The rooftop deck gives you a wonderful view of the river
and downtown Astoria, while the underground wine bar and smoke room are
gorgeous and cozy. The location couldn't be better: downtown Astoria is
a charming old fishing town where you can easily find an assortment of
northwest wines, beers, and of course seafood, with the Hotel Elliot at
the heart of it all. There is also a very nice Saturday market just outside
the hotel during the summer. All in all this was a wonderful place to
visit.

"Wonderful! Luxurious! Very Friendly Customer Service!"
My husband and I travel often and have stayed at many historic/boutique
hotels! And, I've got to say that the Hotel Elliott just about surpasses
them all! Each individual room & suite is designed and decorated completely
unique from the others! What a creative masterpiece! The Winebar is great...decorated
with an artistic rugged "underground" feel...yet warm &
welcoming! The entire Hotel is themed in the early 1920's...yet still
has all of the luxurious modern conveniences! The heated limestone-tile
flooring in the bathrooms were a brilliant idea, the jacuzzi tub was fabulous...(and
perfectly located in our 5th floor club suite with a grand-view window)
and the beds were very comfortable! Shame on anyone who doesn't take advantage
of this wonderfully restored historic Hotel!!! WE LOVED IT!

"Fabulous Stay!"
Absolutely beautiful, but quaint restored Historic Hotel. The
suite room we stayed in was luxurious, immaculately clean, with a beautiful
view of the town & bay and had a fabulously comfortable, well dressed
bed! We had warmed bathroom floors, jacuzzi, fireplace, frig, 2 televisions
(including plasma). Parking is free and around the corner. No food on
the facility, but restaurants are within one block or less walking distance.
A complimentary fruit, cheese, biscuit and juice basket along with the
paper is left in the morning at your door. The neighborhood is in the
restored downtown area with many quaint shops and completely safe touring.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We will stay there again
when we visit Astoria. Can't imagine a better place to recommend when
visiting.

"Nice, nice, nice!"
What a great hotel, what a nice town! We spent Columbus Day weekend
at Hotel Elliott and we're still talking about it. The staff was great.
Everyone was helpful and friendly - from management to housekeeping. All
in all, a very well run hotel. The suites are roomy, comfortable, clean
and very nicely appointed. If there weren't so much to see and do in the
area, I could've spent the whole time relaxing in our room. Loved the
view from the rooftop, loved the wine bar. While you're in Astoria, aside
from the obvious attractions, be sure to go to the Bow Picker for fish
and chips (in season) and to Shallon Winery for an interesting winery
experience. Well worth the trip!

"Loved the wine bar and roof top garden"
“The Hotel Elliot met my expectations and beyond. Once
you get past the sparse hotel lobby, the rooms are beautiful. The complimentary
wine was a great way for us to relax and we purchased a bottle of wine
and went up to the roof top garden on a recommendation from the bar staff.
It was spectacular. The weather, the view. We met great people and were
up there for hours until the sun went down. We can't wait to come back,
but for longer next time!”

"Great service & loved the bed!"
I had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Elliott this last weekend!
The service was great, the weather was fabulous and I slept SO WELL! Everything
about my stay was so easy, from having the doggy bed and treats with bowls
in my room for my dog, to the wonderful breakfast basket in morning! The
staff was very accommodating and made my dog and I feel at home! :o) I
look forward to staying again in the future!

"A lovely historic hotel!"
We had a very enjoyable stay at the Hotel Elliott. The room decor
was more modern than the hotel lobby and bar. The furninshings were well
maintained and everything was very neat and clean. The staff was friendly.
The hotel is located in the middle of Astoria with plenty of restaurants
and galleries within a block or two. We will definitely stay here again.

"This is the place to be on the Oregon Coast!"
I have traveled throughout Oregon for more than 20 years.
My family unanimously agreed the Hotel Elliott is on another level for
elegance, joyfulness, and accommodation. Located around the corner from
the main street in a newly spirited city, this historically preserved
building is beautiful inside and out. The rooms are clean, spacious, comfortable,
and tastefully decorated. The "frosting on the elegance cake"
contains heated marble bathroom floors, attractive art, a classy wine
bar, upscale room service, undescribable views of the Columbia River and
Astoria's hills, and a rooftop garden to relax and gaze. The staff helped
to make our stay a joyful one. They really care about the Hotel and their
work. Finally, all our needs were met, and in some cases, the staff went
beyond what we expected. This is the place to be on the Oregon Coast!

"What a gem in Astoria!"
Just returned from a lovely weekend at Hotel Elliott. This is
a wonderful boutique hotel in an up and coming town on the Oregon Coast.
I can't say enough about the "feel" of this property.
The hotel is set in the center of town and within walking distance of
galleries, shops and restaurants. Options for restaurants are not tremendous,
but you do not need to look any further than across the street at The
Schooner. The food is great, service "low key" friendly and
down to earth. The hotel itself has been renovated and retains a strong
sense of it's original character. Some original doors, windows, etc.,
but all the comforts and modern amenities one would expect at the best
hotels.
We stayed in a two room river view suite and the comfort was just amazing.
The attention to detail is nice, pendleton blankets, aveda bath products,
heated bathroom floors, DVD/CD players, fireplace in living room, just
overall a wonderful hotel room.
In the rainy weather of winter in Astoria, the Hotel Elliott shines like
a beacon.
Oh...I must mention the "wonderful beds". The beds are truly
"wonderful". The linen is some of the best I have seen in my
travels and in working in hotels for eight years. 440+ thread count sheets.
Really nice.
If your travels take you to the Astoria area, don't miss this property.
Keep up the great work...

"We Loved Our Room"
We are SO glad we stayed at Hotel Elliott. The atmosphere, the
staff, location... We loved our room. The colors, tiles in bathroom, the
bed, fireplace. All of this made a very enjoyable stay. Hotel Elliott
will be highly recommended to friends and family. Thank you for making
our one year anniversary such a memorable one. We look forward to future
stays."

"Luxury Hotel with Funky Style"
Astoria is a charming town, and the Hotel Elliott is the perfect
place to stay for great luxury and incredible style. My husband and I
first went for our anniversary, and we expect to stay again and again.
The vintage hotel has undergone a $4 million renovation, so it keeps all
of the old world charm and adds all the creature comforts that make a
hotel a truly wonderful place to stay. Among the impressive features of
our suites were heated bathroom floors (I know!), jacuzzi tubs, in-room
fireplaces, and even a library in one of the suites. (I'm not a techie,
but I know we saw flat screen tvs as well.) The beds are to die for, simply
heavenly, and the whole atmosphere is one of edgy classicism. Each suite
was beautifully decorated and had its own individual style, even down
to the great prints and artwork.
The Hotel Elliott is within steps of many great downtown attractions (art
galleries, restaurants, movie theaters, shopping, museums), and some of
the rooms have waterfront views. But even if you don't want to tour the
city, the Hotel Elliott is well worth the trip.
Since there are only 32 rooms, you can be sure of the staff's attention.
Everyone we met was absolutely incredible, going out of their way to make
sure we had a wonderful time. When I asked if I could borrow a book from
the room's library and return it when I was finished reading it, the manager
smiled and said, "Bring it when you come back next time." He
can be assured that I will. You should too.

"The Most Wonderful Beds"
The Hotel Elliott was the most beautiful place that my husband
and I have stayed in. The signs on the outside of the building that say
the most wonderful beds are absolutely true. A must stay. Overall 5 stars.

Astoria: Elliott Hotel: "Historic Preservation at its Finest"
Reviewer: dmcclean@berryarch.com, Cottage Grove, OR,

Recently underwent a $4 Million renovation. All the modern conveniences
and more... but TASTEFULLY and historically integrated. All things of
the highest quality... mattresses, linens, cabinetry... even radiant heat
in the bathroom floor (at least in our room). SINCERELY friendly, and
knowledgeable staff... also gave great dining recommendations. For those
of us that seek quality and an alternative to those mass-produced highway
Hotels... check out the opportunity to stay in a REAL hotel in a REAL
downtown. The price was surprisingly reasonable.

Downtown Astoria is the location for this remodeled and fabulously updated
hotel. 32 rooms- each one done in charming decor, old world colors, Kohler
tubs and granite bath counters. A rose at your bedside accents Egyptian
cotton sheets, down comforters and the thickest towels I have ever seen!
Add a bonus of terry cloth robes, gorgeous continental breakfast and the
best coffee in Oregon. There is a midweek special and we came back on
Sunday to view the Sunday Market in the streets in front of the hotel.
Kudos to the wonderful reception clerks and the great restaurants within
walking distance.
“To everyone at the H.E. – We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

"Dear Hotel Elliott Staff: Thank you so much for the wonderful experience that is Hotel Elliott! I'm still not sure which was the best part: The great service, the incredible bed, or the little surprises, like chocolate-dipped berries & Aveda products... I suppose I'll have to come back to decide." Jill S. Portland, OR
"One of the great pleasures of our recent trip to Oregon was staying at your beautifully refurbished Hotel Elliott in Astoria. The hotel has real style, with its historic significance, central location, elegant renovation, fine service, and just about any comfort that a person could desire. And the beds are indeed 'wonderful'!" Myles & Ruth J., Washington, D.C.
"My husband, Marion, joins me in extending our sincerest gratitude to you and your staff for making our visit to Astoria so successful. Our late night arrival and brief stay were obstacles that you graciously overcame. The personal attention that has been given to our "Lewis and Clark" tour arrangements is a feat to be 'feted'!... We shall certainly recommend your lovely hotel!" Penny & Marion, Baton Rouge, LA
"...I have yet to find the word that adequately describes Hotel
Elliott. All the usual descriptions like ‘first class,’ or
the ‘finest boutique hotel,’ just aren’t good enough.
I do know for a fact that Astoria deserves the very best, and you have
blessed us with a vision which allows our outstanding artists and craftsmen
to shine… P.S. The bed is wonderful!!"
