Channel House

This is the only place I do still clearly remember from our honeymoon in 2008. What a magnificent oceanview from the rooms. One day we will be back, for sure.

My husband and I first visited The Channel House in 2007 for our honeymoon and just returned to celebrate our 15th anniversary. When I called to make our reservation I was taken aback by how unfriendly the man was who I spoke with on the phone… and after considering going elsewhere decided to give the place a chance, since our first visit was so amazing- and just made our reservation online. The building is getting a “face lift” so it was a bit loud as we checked in, but as we were escorted to our room, the noise was quickly forgotten as we were reminded just how breathtaking the views are from the rooms- and literally saw whales within seconds! The music playing in our room was an excellent touch and there was chilled wine in the fridge (although an extra charge- and we brought our own.) This time we stayed in the Cuckoo’s Nest which is quite a large room with two fireplaces, separate living room, large shower and a full length deck. The location is excellent and we did not start our vehicle again until we checked out as there are multiple restaurants within walking distance. Our lady host that weekend provided excellent customer service, happily giving us dining recommendations, and was generous in making sure that as heavy coffee drinkers, we had extra coffee during our stay. Also included were robes and bath salts for the tub. We spent both evenings soaking in the tub on the deck, sipping wine and watching whales feed just off the rocks below…. Truly epic! I do wish I could have rated our stay with 5*, but….. With all the things we loved about our stay…. The bad. Which was the bed. For the reviewers who have talked about a comfortable bed, either they are much nicer in other rooms (I do remember a comfortable bed in the whale watching room- 15 years ago), or these folks would be comfortable sleeping on the floor. I have stayed in cheaper hotels with much nicer beds and this one was HARD. We both tossed and turned all night, only to be literally sore once we got out of bed. The second night was so bad that we eventually gave up on the bed and migrated to the couch and recliner. It was BAD! What was supposed to be a romantic getaway to fully recharge… had us looking forward to getting a good nights’ sleep at home. Upon checking out, the nice lady asked how our stay was and I was honest; wonderful, but the bed was atrocious. She agreed, and said how they had an extra foam pad available…. Oh, how I wish we knew that before we were leaving!

Our second extended stay at the Channel House, but most assuredly not our last. Perfect location and great views up and down the coast. Able to watch the whales from the comfort of our room. Room was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. Walking distance to everything in Depoe Bay. Dan has taken excellent care of us on both of our stays.

This is our 3rd time staying in this hotel. It is AMAZING! Right on the water. Did I say right on the water! Our room #5 - appointments beautiful! Two rooms, living room, bedroom and two fireplaces. Big balcony, right on the water. So romantic and relaxing. Plus Grey Whales out in the Bay - seen many from the room. Very friendly staff such as Dan at check in, so helpful! Very, very clean rooms! Stay here!!!
