I’ve always wanted to stay at Moolock Inn because of its awesome location right ON the ocean and finally did it because my good friend stayed here and recommended it so highly! The property manager, Peggy, was a complete delight from the moment I booked until check out. Since I was due to check in 3 days after the tsunami warning, she called me personally to let me know what was happening in Newport and I should call her Monday morning before I head out to make sure the evacuation orders were over. She showed concern for my well being which is highly unusual these days before I even met her!

This is a place you will remember staying! Each room is one of a kind and the hotel is really close to the beach and the waves… Ah, the waves. You will be lulled to sleep…💤

We stayed at Moolack shores years ago. What a difference from then to now. room was dirty and looked like it was updated by a 6th grade class. we were there for the King Tides in December 2021and it was a huge dissapointment, the only good thing was the view. I will never stay there again and will tell all my friends to look elsewhere.

Love this little spot. The views from the rooms are perfect. Fireplace in the room was romantic and the friendly owner made sure our stay was great. Not really recommend for kids but you parents need a night alone anyways

Everything was perfect my dad and I stayed one night in the oregon room had a fireplace 2 big TVs comfortable couch and a stunning view of the ocean.
I laid in bed watching the moonlight hit the waves and the waves would sparkle I doubt you would get this experience anywhere else.
The staff does a great job our room smelled nice and fresh most definitely will return.

It was our 20th Anniversary. We wanted a place we could just relax and watch the waves. Moolack Shires delivered. The hunting lodge is spacious with a kitchen. Fred Meyer delivered groceries. The dominoes and cards and binoculars provided were an added touch. Peggy the manager went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met.

We absolutely loved our stay! It was a nice break from our everyday lives. Going to bed & waking up with the waves crashing right out the windows was one of the most relaxing, peaceful moments of our day. Exploring the beach was awesome & had some great local experiences. Peggy was awesome! We will definitely come back & highly recommend to absolutely everyone

I stayed 2 nights in the Under the Sea room. My bad for not checking to see if it had a balcony which I was so disappointed about but my fault. The view is fantastic. It's a very small hotel, maybe 10-15 rooms max. Peggy stated that she can't keep housekeepers employed on a regular basis but the room was clean but definitely could use a deep clean. One thing is that the room didn't have AC. It had a floor fan that I stuck in the window of the room. I will definitely stay there again.

Stayed in the Nostalgia room, arrived Friday evening and left Monday morning. Peggy was great and so helpful, with suggestions of places to eat (and places to avoid). Came with two duralogs for the fire place, it was great to sit by the fire with coffee and watch the waves. There is a huge selection of DVDs to choose from, and there are little snacks and things in the office that you can utilize. Really enjoyed our time and definitely plan on returning and trying another room. The location of this is perfect if you like being out of the way a little, only a short drive into main Newport.

This is a quaint little hotel right on the Pacific coast with access to the beach. It is as advertised "rustic", but met all of our needs and has a great view and patio area. Had a great time and would definitely recommend it and would come back if ever in the area.

My husband and I just spent a night here and it was absolutely lovely. The owners are both peaches with adorable dogs. The room was clean and comfortable with a terrific view. We can't wait to stay again. This place is truly special.

What a lovely setting, right on the Pacific Ocean. It's a few steps down to the beach with stunning views. We could see grey whales from the patio. The room was a little run down but comfy. There was a fire place and one complimentary duro log. It burned nicely.

That's where the good ends. I'll skip the minor issues, like no rug in the bathroom, and get right to the real issue:

In the morning we discovered the two keurig cups were hot chocolate not coffee. I went to the office,-where they claimed to have coffee and breakfast snacks-only to discover they didn't open until

The management is awful, the place is so dirty. Spiders webs and dust all over the ceilings, overall a horrible stay. I would give this 0 stars if I could, I would never recommend this hotel to anybody!

We had a 2 day stay at Moolock Shores Inn. The view and beach walks are absolutely beautiful and perfect. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go here again. The downside is while I wouldn't say our room was dirty, it wasn't exactly clean either. There were cobwebs, and I dropped my charger under the bed and it was obvious the bed had not been cleaned under in awhile. I would say it is more of an attention to detail than anything. However as stated, we would definitely stay here again. Very easy access to Lincoln City and Newport

We really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in the "Oregon room" and it was just darling. The room/kitchen was clean and well stocked. We like the space because we had a kitchen and were able to bring our own food to grill. We had brought our own little grill but forgot to bring the tools to set it up. The owners let us use their grill and made pleasant conversation while we did so. We'll be back again for stormy coast nights sitting by the fireplace.

Racist staff! Made racists comments to us on three occasions, not about us, but about people in "their" city. If that was not bad enough, they were not adequately prepared for Covid. Extremely disappointed. The pictures on line looked cute, but it was all down hill from there. Horrible experience. The room was falling apart. Smelled of pot and chemicals. Looks like they just sprayed the room instead of actually cleaning it. Stay away!

I wish I could give it 0 stars! The customer service was the worst part of our experience. We always thought Moolack Shores would be a great place to storm watch--but, we will not be going back! Rude and inconsiderate management.

I am sorry to say, but this did not live up to my expectations. The pictures show better than the experience. We stayed two nights in the nostalgia room. Some very good art work with the wall graphics, but that is where the quaint atmosphere ends. Cracked tiles in the bathroom and veneer that is coming off the door that swings open on its own and sticks to the floor when it gets there. We stayed two nights as I have said and no update to freshen up towels and restock the fireplace. Also the curtains didn't offer the best privacy. For the money, it just fell short. Nice ocean view from our

This hotel is rare gem. Clean ,quiet- direct access to beach combing . The beds our comfortable and the views are breathtaking! You can enjoy the ambiance in the various thematic rooms. I resisted writing this review cause I want to keep the best kept secret - this unique hotel.

I would NOT stay here again. I booked via Airbnb and I am disappointed in myself I didn't research the place further to find the reviews on Orbitz and other review sites. There have been lots of feedback given about the cleanliness on other review sites for the last few months and the hotel manager has said we will take your feedback into consideration yet it doesn't appear that this has been done.

Major downfalls, this place was not clean and parking was difficult/limited. Upon checking into the room we found the bathroom had dirty towels hanging on the back of the door, the new towels

The room was "super cute", as we kept telling each other every time we stumbled upon another thing we were disappointed in. Bright red paint and red white and blue Americana décor touches everything in the room. However, the two coffee mugs provided both has residue in them one with some kind of fluid still inside. There was a decorative tray with fake lemons that were sticky looking as they had hair stuck to them in spots. Not sure what purpose they serve exactly? other than to gross me out. There was a super cute little heater looking thing but it only produced a fire like backdrop

I feel like we have found a hidden gem! (Not that it seems to be as hidden as I'd like it to be) haha. It seems as though everyone feels the same special feeling when they stay here! Each room has it's own unique feel to it. I know this because the manager literally walked us through every room at our check out because we just mentioned we were "peaking" into them on our way to the car. We stayed in the racer room and we have fallen in love. The view is unbeatable, the bed is large and cozy, and the fireplace is such a bonus! We have already booked for a weekend in August for

Great motel along the coast and on the beach. We booked it last minute and was happy to find a clean & cute lodging for one night. Keurig machine and little fridge in the room. Blackout curtains & Home Foods style furnishing. :-) Smelled like new paint and bathroom was clean. We would stay there again & recommend it to others.

This place is truly a special gem on the Oregon coast.
30ish close friends and I rented the whole place for the Eclipse this year. The management and staff were friendly and wonderful, and the rooms were awesome. They really set us up for an amazing weekend. The room prices are also reasonable which was great.

Each room has a unique theme that is well done. The beds, linens, and furniture are all clean and comfortable. Some of the rooms have kitchens and others just a mini fridge with sink and coffee. Some of the rooms are oceanfront with balcony overlooking the beach and water with amazing
