Crescent Beach Motel
If you get any closer to the beach than from Crescent Beach Motel rooms, your blankets would get wet! For online reservations and availability, visit the Crescent Beach Motel rooms page. Beachfront lodging is what we offer. In pure comfort, you can go to sleep to the sound of crashing waves (or shut them out if you prefer) and wake to see the beachfront without lifting your head from your pillow.

Open the sliding glass door and smell the fresh ocean salt air. It's a dream come true - Oceanfront lodging- at a price you can afford! There is nothing to spoil your oceanfront view from our rooms. No high rise buildings or fast food signs - just miles of open beachfront - totally unspoiled. Enjoy walks on the beach, whale watching, kite flying, or just lounging on the deck watching the ocean.
Services
Please note that the maximum number of people a room can accommodate is dictated by the configuration of the room. Sleeping bags are not allowed. Adjoining rooms are available for groups of more than 4 people. You do not have to count children 2 years old and younger. We will be open in January to welcome the hardy winter visitors looking for crisp winter-like days and walks along the deserted beaches.
Our friendly office staff is available from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM each day. We are often closed in January to do maintenance and give our staff some well deserved vacation time. Please call ahead during this time to verify that we are open for business. Generations have been coming to this location to relax and dream.
Ancient redwoods reaching hundreds of feet into the sky. Pristine waters of the Smith and Klamath Rivers flow freely as they meander through the forests and empty into the magnificent Pacific Ocean. Del Norte County is a place to let go and enjoy the wonders of unspoiled nature and abundant wildlife in amazing diverse habitats.

Spectacular little motel in the most unexpected of places. A friend who's often in Crescent City for work recommended it highly, as I was passing through on my way to Washington. Arrived around 8pm and got an Ocean view room for $90/night which was a nice surprise. The rooms are extremely clean and perfectly lovely for a motel of its nature. The bed was comfy, the linens and towels were plush and new, the bathtub was decent for a soak before bed and best of all, I slept with the patio door cracked open and got to fall asleep to the sounds of the nearby ocean. Pleasantly, pleasantly surprised

If you Love the Ocean, you will Love this motel. Almost All rooms have spectacular deck views.

It is a simple motel, but clean and for that I give it 5 stars - Direct Beach access and great prices!

It's a cute little (emphasis on little) motel right on the beach in Crescent City.

The rooms were quiet and clean, and the motel was right off the highway, so it was easy to find and access.

The staff as friendly and efficient, and I ran into no problems during my stay.

I ended up in one of the Garden rooms my last visit and did not sleep a wink the Entire night. The windows don't keep any noise out, nor light.. all night long I heard traffic and snoring from the man in room sharing wall with me (they were room 19?). I pulled over on my Stout Grove route home to sleep for a few hours. The rooms facing the beach are great bc that is all you hear. I will definitely take ear plugs my next visit.

Very disappointed, I have been staying at the Crescent Beach Motel every time I visit friends in Crescent City for almost 15 years. It must have new owners because the service & grounds keeping has gone way down hill. On our 2nd day, I had to go to the front desk & ask why our room was not being made up ? I was told they are cleaned before you arrive & when you leave. We had to empty our own trash, as we had pizza & chicken the night before. They now use little 1 time use foil pack shampoo & conditioner in 1. So I had to ask for them everyday. They only have 25 or so outdoor

New management is awesome. The young man who assisted me when I lost my key was very helpful and considerate. The young men running the counters were very pleasant and professional. So much nicer than previous host who did not seem to enjoy working there. Property was clean, as always.

This is a very basic motel room, with very basic amenities. Clean. I could have really used a fridge to store food/drink we had been carrying around on our trip. Towels looked fresh and new. Could have used another blanket for weight. Covering was very light. However slept well. Bathroom door was squeaky though - a bit annoying when other half needs to use in middle of night!

Basic, no frills motel on stunning Crescent Beach. We've stayed here three times and its likely we'll return. But BUYER BEWARE. You select and reserve a specific room, but we learned on our most recent trip in August 2020 that management does not feel bound to honor your specific room choice, even after it has been confirmed. On this trip our choice was not honored. We were not notified or given an explanation. An important detail for visitors to be aware of. All the same, the location makes this place worth the risk.

Refused to refund my reservation fees. I notified them 48+ hours before the reservation because I got sick. They didn't care. No refunds. They hid behind the mantra: Just policy. Change the policy! They certainly lost my business. Few lodgings would not honor a sick person's request with a 48+ hour notice. This is just harsh.

It's LITERALLY right on the beach. We come here about once a year and have been for about a decade. I would like to give it 5/5 but every time we come here there is an issue and this time was no exception. Upon checking in we got to meet the new owner to discover the specific room we booked online for our five year anniversary, the same room we book every time, had been given to someone else! Now, he had no explanation as to how it happened and NO solution or reimbursement was given other than to give us another available room (which was between a deaf elderly couple and a drunk couple) so

This is our second time here and we couldn't be more pleased at the lovely setting outside of town, on the beach and the beautiful sunsets. The cleanliness of the rooms and relaxed location makes it a great getaway for the weekend.

My Favorite Motel on the Beach near Redwoods!!! Not too cheap but clean and the location near water is not to be beaten.

This is now my third return to this wonderful place on the South end of Crescent city. I wish I could share the feeling I have when I'm sitting on the porch and enjoying the wide expanse of the Pacific ocean horizon in front of me. For some infathomable reason, and perhaps exactly because this place is away from Cresecent City itself and has no neighbors, it gives me the peace of mind that I so need when I'm on vacation or going for a short trip.

Another great thing

Our GPS had a hard time finding it but Melissa was a great help in guiding us there. A bit on the older side but great location and pricing. You can't beat waking up to an ocean view for around $100 a night. Not much extras but you're not there to sit in your hotel room when there is so much to explore.

This motel is right on the outskirts of crescent city. Prices aren't super expensive but not super cheap. Our stay was 91$ a night.
The rooms are small but comfortable. Ours came with a queen, desk, and a small table with two chairs. Also included is a coffee maker, blow dryer, tv, and small closet.
Breakfast is free, however it's only coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and fresh fruit. The snack room is open from 6:30am until 9:45pm with free drinks and newspapers.
In the lobby you can purchase sodas, snacks, and small souvenirs to take home.
The staff was wonderful, and you can't

Five star view: ask for ocean view.
Looking at about $150 for the night.
Positives: Beautiful view, deck to sit and watch ocean. Walkway straight down to the beach. Clean bed, bath, strong water pressure. Heater built into the wall. Coffee in room. Cold breakfast in the am.
An $80 room with a $70 view.
Not so positive: The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything. The carpet is stained, anyone walking around on the deck can be heard forever.

It was great to be able to lay in bed and watch the ocean, but just not really what I expected for the price. The staff was all great, just not if

Location location location. Literally right on the beach. I love this place. You have to make sure you get a room with an ocean view. Higher # rooms are best.
The place itself is only two stars, but who cares! You sit on a deck with the ocean at your feet, it's beautiful.
