Astoria was the first American settlement on the Pacific Coast. Its past is thick with gamblers, bootleggers, knife-fighting fur traders, temperance crusaders, socialist dockworkers, the lost, the crazed, the KKK, and much more. After a fire destroyed much of the city in 1922, the downtown section of Astoria was completely rebuilt and remains much as it looked in 1926.
The Commodore experience is centered around our crisp, modernist rooms. We offer two basic classes of accommodation: Cabins-elegant, yet minimal European-style sleeping rooms with shared bathroom facilities; and Suites-more spacious chambers with full en-suite baths and lounging areas. All rooms are provided with a flat-screen LCD/DVD combo, radiant heat, and premium bathrobes.

Quirky small hotel in the center of Astoria. The building dates from the 1920s, as do most of the buildings in the area. Astoria was at one point a major port city, with its heyday seemingly in the 1920s. Shortly after that, the city fell on hard times and pretty much dried up. The final blow was the construction of a bridge that eliminated the need for a ferry between Astoria and Washington. It has in more recent years reinvented itself as a fun tourist destination, with lots of shops, restaurants, brewpubs, bakeries, cannabis dispensaries, and a truly excellent maritime museum.
But I digress

We come to Astoria often, and decided to try this hotel out instead of our usual place because the rooms looked nice and the location was excellent. They baited and switched us on room rates, and we will NOT be booking here again.
Last week, we called to book a room. Selina sent an offer quote for a $237 standard room with a bathroom included. We booked immediately. The next day, however, our booking confirmation said that we were charged $237 for a private room with a SHARED bath. We considered the cheaper room previously, and it was listed for $167 (NOT $237). No problem - mistakes happen, so

The location is FANTASTIC. You can basically walk everywhere you likely want from the hotel. The staff that helped us were friendly. (Props to management working with moms of little children). The room was awesome as well. We stayed in one of the Deluxe rooms as a delayed anniversary for my wife and I and the room was awesome!! Spacious. Clean. Great views. It was just my wife and I this trip so don't know if we would have been allowed to have our little children with us but size wise, we could have have had our two toddlers sleep on the sofa and we could have stayed there comfortably. I used

If I had to sum up my stay here in one word, it would be "unimpressed." The staff was polite enough, but our room had about a 15 degree slant to the floor and the thin windows did nothing to keep out the noise which starts very early in the morning. That said, they do provide ear plugs.
One of the towels we were issued had a hole in it and the housekeeper had missed some trash under the coffee table, but the room was clean and comfortable otherwise. We also couldn't get the TV to work to save our lives, and didn't want to bother the offsite manager after hours. Perhaps providing

Stayed the night here in one of our favorite city's ever! The room is clean with a vintage modern look. Loved how comfortable the bed and pillows were and even had a little couch in the room . Its located downtown so might be a little noisy in some rooms due to the thin windows but didn't mind that . Great room for the price and would stay again

I came here desperate to get out of Portland during the wildfires. I booked quickly, but I wish I'd done more research. First bad sign: After booking, I called ahead to ask about what the hotel was doing in terms of COVID protocols. The person at the desk said they didn't know. I should have cancelled then. When I arrived, there were two people working behind the desk. One had no mask on. There is a tiny plexiglass shield hanging over a small part of the desk area, but it's miniscule and open on all sides. I thought perhaps the desk clerk had the mask off just briefly. No. I saw

This is a great spot in Astoria! Even with the challenges of Covid-19, I have to give prompts to staff for being so kind and helpful. The queen suite room I had was large and very comfortable way worth the price. The bed great, the windows a plenty, and views great, the bathroom large. It's a perfect location. Bonuses...DVR in TV...amazing selection of movies and an elevator. I was on the 3rd floor loved it. Plus Cafe 14 downstairs is super! Those guys are so nice kudos to them for being awesome in COVID-19 times. I will be back.

I completely support any organization that doesn't feel safe operating during this period of time, (COVID-19) what I can't get behind is essentially no customer service.
I made a reservation 2 months before my stay, (riding out to Astoria) and another reservation for my sister-in-law a week before our arrival. We had our confirmations and left on our bike trip. We rode up to the Commodore to find a note saying they decided to close. No communication had been sent alerting us to this, and that day their reservation system was still up and running.

Super disappointed. I've been a fan of the Commodore for more than 10 years. Made a reservation a year ago when leaving from being a guest, no reminder email or anything was sent and was just charged a year later. Not only that but was told that no hotels ever send you reminder emails about an upcoming reservations which I am an business and professional traveler so I know for am certain this is not true.Was told I may get a call back in a few days. I guess new management meant losing all of the personal and professional, fun services I've known. ** update: the manager called to make

After a cold wet day of hiking saddle mountain we ventured over to the Commodore to check in and get a hot shower. Check in is at 3:30 and not sooner which we were sad about because we were so cold. But we waited in the quaint coffee shop next door while our rooms were being prepared. Very cute hotel; it was exactly what we needed!! Rooms are quaint and small but clean! Since the rooms are hardwood floors, we could hear our upstairs neighbors every time they got out of bed or walked to the bathroom. Other than that, we had a great experience at this quaint hotel! Also, make sure to bring your own

Clean, funky, small, comfortable hotel that is incredibly inexpensive and is conveniently located. The bath was down the hall and I was glad they provided robes. The room was sparse but pleasant and it had a sink and chair in addition to the bed. I felt like I'd stepped back in time to early last century. We enjoyed the feeling. The hotel clerk was great, offered helpful tips, and told us all about the records and movies we could freely borrow.
Before tax, our double bed room cost $39.
The only reason I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars was because the pillows were too big and hard

Dang, but this place made me fall in love with Astoria.
We booked a euro-style cabin room last minute. That means you have no view, and the bathroom is down the hall (and also the room is cheaper). The room comes stocked with robes for the short walk down the hall, and the separate bathrooms are close and classy--several half baths, and several private rooms with spacious showers.
Also, this place is super hip, but in an inclusive, friendly way (they even made us a welcome card!) They're all about records, and have records and players to check out downstairs. The lobby is a cozy hang out

So, let me start with the pros. This place is beautiful. I love the work they've done to enhance and improve upon the historic building. It is really well decorated. I also liked the beer happy hour in the lobby. Also, great location.
The cons... the staff really doesn't seem to care about the guests. We stayed two nights. The day we checked in, one of the blinds broke in our room. We told the staff three times over the stay, and it was never fixed. This means we had bright light in our room at 4 am, plus zero privacy from the street. If the staff seemed to care about our comfort at

It's a great place if you're looking for something last minute. They usually have rooms open but the rooms titled "cabins" have shared hallway bathrooms. Everything is REALLY clean, just be sure to bring a pair of sandals if you're not comfortable taking a shower in a shared bathroom. Best thing about the bathrooms is that they're private and not set up like "stalls". You go in, close the door, do your doodie and get out. The only crappy thing is facing someone immediately when you walk out if you take a dump, be on the look out, or more like the "ear

When you plan a birthday getaway for your spouse you really want everything to be perfect, comfortable and clean when you're looking where to book a hotel. You want to focus on the fun, right!? When we arrived we were greeted by Xander, front desk extraordinaire! He really made our trip a little extra special through our interactions with him. The Commodore was of course affordable but also had comfortable beds, clean rooms/bathroom and a happy hour featuring beer from local breweries! YES PLEASE! My spouse was extremely happy which made me extremely happy. We can't wait to come back

This hotel reminds me of the Ace hotels, old buildings remodelled and converted into funky, unique guest accommodations.
We came down to Astoria for an overnight holiday and stayed in one of the available suites. Each floor has a few larger rooms with private washrooms while other rooms are smaller and utilise the communal washrooms at the ends of the hallways.
Friendly and welcoming staff, who are on the premises 24/7, greeted us upon our arrival. You will have to park on the street which says "2hr limit" but we were told that the limit isn't really enforced; lucky for us that

The "cabin" room without private bath really delivers a great value. All the staff is genuinely friendly and engaged in us having a great stay. We brought in three records to add to their vinyl collection and saved 15%. Shared bathrooms are nicely designed, spacious, and plenty for the few rooms that share them.
Free local beer at happy hour, good coffee in the morning, and record players and movies to check out make this place a grand slam with the lovely modern design of the interiors. Will definitely stay again.
