We have stayed at Moolack Shores Motel at least ten times in the past thirty-five plus years. It is a motel you could easily drive pass and not consider as a worthy destination motel. Most guests have stayed at this motel in the past, or were recommended to stay here by someone they know. Theme rooms are dated but clean... More

I booked the room about a month in advance, which worked great for us; we got the room of our choice, which was the Hawaiian room. We (my boyfriend and I) stayed here in mid-March, around St. Patrick's Day, I believe. We arrived there mid day and parked in the empty parking lot, which was loose gravel, so I had... More

You need to get a reservation well in advance---they have a lot of regulars that are return clients. You really have to stay in one of their rooms to appreciate the different themes and it is easy to use their stairs to get to the beach and the tide pools. Very clean and comfortable with owners that are great hosts.

Love the seclusion, yet close to Newport and Depot Bay. Cool rooms but thin walls and very dated bathrooms. Road noise is up from last stay, but mostly tolerable. Ocean front decks were pretty new, but privacy is minimal. The price is pretty well adjusted for all things considered. Cleaning staff was very friendly. Its a great hotel for the... More

Themed rooms. Website has pics of them, but they're better than pictured. 3 miles north of Newport, this particular stretch of beach is only accessible from a few places, so you have the beach pretty much to yourself. The views from the rooms are awesome. Very relaxing place to stay, great owners, completely gracious and a great deal. Destination stay,... More

Just got back from a two night stay in the Antique Room and I liked this place very much. It does not allow pets and that is a big plus for me as we usually travel to the Coast with our dogs and on that rare occasion when we do not take them a place that clearly reflects a lack... More

If I were submitting this review based on location, I would give it an excellent; if based only on quality and cleanliness of the rooms, I would rate it poor. My husband and I enjoy staying in places which allow us to do our own cooking which our unit had and that is a plus. We also do not mind... More

This visit, the place was definitely in need of a paint job. It's lookkng a bit on the run down side. I was in the Nautical room. If you are over 5'10", don't stay in that room. You'll never make it down the stairs without bonking your head....three times. The view from the room is nice, but the rooms that... More

My daughter and I stayed in the Antique Room for a two nights. The room was very comfortable and cozy. The owners have obviously put a lot of time and thought into decorating each room. The room was small but had everything we needed. Two comfortable chairs for reading, a big tv (though we never turned it on) an electric... More

Our stay at Moolack Shores Motel was so peaceful. The hosts are very welcoming and made our stay so comfortable. The beach is nice and private between Otter Rock and Nye Beach. Easy access right off Highway 101 in a quiet setting. Private access to the beach.
