My wife and I love the Sylvia Beach Hotel, and we've stayed in the majority of the uniquely eclectic rooms. We live in Portland, OR, and try to come at least once a year.
This quirky, funky old hotel draws a very specific crowd. It is not for those who refuse to stay in anything but a Hilton-class "executive" hotel. It's not ...
First, the on-line description is not about this hotel. That being said, this is a delightful place to stay if you love books and peace and quiet. I have spent many wonderful vacations here over the last 10 years. There is a communal room on the second floor the length of the hotel. It has unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, deep & comfy ...

No complaints, no worries!

I really loved the F. Scott Fitzgerald room, it was funky/shabby/30's chic, and yet so clean. The food was great and reasonably priced, and the company--the company!
I read the canned review that started this, and I have to say they must have stayed at a different hotel. I think only three rooms have fireplaces, and none that I know of ...

We Loved it!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/19/07
My boyfriend and I stayed only for a day because they did not have any open rooms...which was sad because after the first night and the dinner and then breakfast we did not want to leave!!! We stayed in the Alice Walker room...it is a double bed so a roll away was needed...but it worked out fine and Seamus said the roll away bed was very comfy! ...
This hotel was a delight for my daughter and I. We stayed in the Herman Melville themed room. It was right near the library which I loved for the ocean views and breezes, the comfortable chairs and the quiet. We enjoyed the cats as well as the staff. We would recommend the family style dinner as the food was delicious and we met some very nice ...

A Place to Refuel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/28/06
Sylvia Beach is for the guest who enjoys quiet and loves to read or walk on the beach. I enjoy it most during a storm when the waves are crashing in and there is a fire in the library fireplace.
The food is wonderful and so is the two truths and a lie game.

A pleasant surprise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/24/05
Sylvia Beach Hotel is a bed-and-breakfast style lodging located on the beautiful Oregon beach. My wife and I very much enjoyed our weekend stay at SBH and will definitely be back. We're proud to recommend it our friends, some of who currently have plans to stay there. A great breakfast, not just the ordinary run of the mill budget style ...

charming, relaxing, unique
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/25/05
As an avid reader, I loved this hotel. My husband and I quickly succumbed to the quiet rhythm of the place. We loved the family-style dinner so much, and had such fun companions, that we tried it again the second night, even though there is a fabulous restaurant right across the street. The beach is wonderful. One could easily have a lovely time ...

I really wanted to like this place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/18/04
My traveling buddy made reservations for us because he's always loved this hotel and it is located right on the beach. When we arrived, our reservation was wrong and our double room was occupied. We were given a single room and had to use a rollaway bed. The toilet ran constantly, the tub wouldn't drain when we used the shower and the ...
