Embarcadero Resort Hotel and Marina Newport Oregon Coast, Newport

We go to the Embarcadero every year during autumn/winter time. We try to go during off peak vacation times to avoid the crowds. Maybe that is why we have never had a bad/dirty room like some reviewers have complained about. Our rooms have always been nice. The service has always been quick and friendly. I wish the price was a little lower, but it is actually pretty good when compared to other hotels in Newport. On our last visit they gave us an unexpected extra discount. What we really love about the Embarcadero is the crabbing dock. Also the little store near the lobby sells shellfish licenses and bait which is very convenient. The crab cooker is a little slow at times, it could use a little work. We always try to get a room near the dock, which is also near the pool. The location is great for us, both for traveling to and from home, and for visiting other locations around Newport.

The view is absolutely gorgeous!! Our suite was spotless and simply relaxing!! Spacious room . My kids have tons of fun on the crab dock. Met lots of friendly folks. Love the amenities like the indoor swimming pool, patio with a beautiful sunset view, internet access, the resort's close proximity to so many fun places, etc

The first room was so bad we asked to change. The second room was dirty also bottom of stool and tub. Carpet and windows needed cleaned. When told the girls needed to look at these rooms. The reply was some are good and some are not. We were told that our room would be very nice. At the desk they just said they were full. We booked ahead of time. Newport has much better places. Other people checking out early were not happy as well. Old resort needs work.

This quickly became a favorite. Our first room was outdated decor, but everything else was fantastic! For the excellent price and amount of space and anemities, we could not ask for more! The second stay, we had a much nicer room with updated decor, but discovered late when we took our shoes off the carpet was wet. The crab dock was closed supposedly due to Coast Guard requirements because of storm, but after questioning why hotel staff was crabbing and we couldn't, they opened it up again. Service definitely could be improved. My husband made reservations again...for this Friday night. He told them of our last bad experience and said he wanted to make it nice for me, or else we won't go back...They say we are upgraded to their best room at the lowest rate. I am looking forward to it and hope to report that the last experience is wiped out of our memories by a great experience. I would love to take my small dog, but the policy is NO DOGS, yet there are dogs on the property, perhaps the condo/timeshare owners have different rules, confusing. I thought to myself last time there; this place just needs some management improvements, but then we may not be able to afford it as often! Again, we enjoyed it once before and for the price, relaxed atmosphere and privacy, (not to mention the private crab dock!) we are trying it again.

We enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and sauna. The personel at the front desk were very friendly. The bed was comfy but we had a hard time finding our room with no markings on the ground level. The closet had a bad smell, the shower curtain was mildewed, coffemaker didn't work, paper towel holder was broken, kitchenette clock didn't work, two of the vertical blinds were broken or missing pieces, carpet had snagged loops. Construction workers had dropped screws in the parking area. All in all the place was poorly maintained and very tacky. Not a good value for our money.

Had great expectations. Rooms were noisy...people below were talking quietly and could hear every word...including when guy was throwing up at 2 in the morning. Rugs must be 20 years old, all need paint, the windown blinds barely worked and the place badly needed general updating. Overall we were very disappointed. We would not stay here again and will let our traveling friends know that this is not a good place to stay. When we shared our concerns with the front desk, they seemed uninterested. Except for the fact we were locked into a two night stay, we would surely have left after one night. Front desk staff were rather arrogant saying we were welcome to leave but they would not refund our money due to 72 hour notice policy. Howev er, great news, we didn't let this negative experience wreck an otherwise great trip.

LAST YEAR MY FAMILY STAYED AT THE EMBARCADERO RESORT HOTEL FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY AND WE HAVE WONDERFUL MEMORIES, AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. THE ROOMS ARE WONDERFUL AND CAN ACCOMIDATE SEVERAL PEOPLE. THE VIEW IS TO DIE FOR AND THE HOTEL IS CLOSE TO ANY ATTRACTION YOU COULD WANT TO SEE IN NEWPORT.

I like to fish and crab so the private dock was a big plus for us. All the rooms having a view of the bay is wonderful. Private balconies really puts you in your own little world. The staff was so friendly and helpful. And the restaraunt is top notch!
