2 Best Hotels in Cannon Beach, The Oregon Coast

With a quiet, shady courtyard just off the main road leading into the north side of town, this small, reasonably priced 1940s hotel offers suites and rooms with a mix of configurations, from two-bedroom units with kitchens to cozy standard rooms. Although set back from the water on pretty Ecola Creek (just across the street from Les Shirley Park and near the entry road to Ecola State Park) the lodge does have a few rooms with partial ocean views; some units also have gas fireplaces and balconies. All rooms have refrigerators, microwaves, and coffeemakers.

Set on the beach at the quieter southern end of town, the large, rambling Tolovana Inn is one of the best values in this tony seaside community, especially considering that most rooms enjoy partial or full views of the Pacific. The least expensive standard rooms are cozy and don't face the beach, but they can be booked in conjunction with an ocean-view studio to create a large suite, while the largest units, most with balconies and fireplaces, have full kitchens and two bedrooms.
