What guests think

Lighthouse Suites Inn draws guests for beach access and ocean views, large suites, pet-friendly rooms, and a unique lighthouse lookout; however, repeated reports cite aging facilities, intermittent Wi‑Fi, and maintenance issues affecting the hot tub and elevators.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and accommodating, though check-in can be slow, lines form at peak times, and isolated reviews mention rude interactions. Many rooms offer balconies, kitchenettes, and jetted tubs, but guests note firm mattresses, thin walls, sticky sliding doors, and the lack of air conditioning. Cleanliness is often praised, yet several reviews report musty odors, leftover hair, clogged drains, and uneven housekeeping or maintenance follow-through. Expect standout beach access and views, balanced by an older property and occasional maintenance or staffing hiccups.

Facilities

Indoor pool and sauna are appreciated, but the hot tub is frequently out of service; occasional pool closures reported. The lighthouse lookout is a highlight, while some facilities (elevators, automatic doors, ice machines) and limited gym/pool hours draw complaints.

What a great find! We were as close to the ocean as allowed with the buffer areas. We were able to view and listen to the ocean and we were on the road to the beach. It was amazing that you could drive on the beach for miles in both directions! They had a nice pool and a very good included breakfast. There is a lookout above the top floor with an old time viewing scope (free for use) and an outside walkway for 360 degree views! You were a block from the entrance to Ocean Shores drive so restaurants were close. Our room had a regular bathroom and a jacuzzi as well! We will come back again and recommend it to any of our friends coming to Washington for fun and leisure. Other places were set back further

The hotel is in a very convenient place at the beginning of ocean shores. It's nice and quiet there. The hotel is away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown ocean shores. The hotel is one of the least expensive hotels at Ocean shores. I'm guessing the reason for this is because things like the hot tub does not work, one of the doors to get into the hotel had a note on it saying you had to pull the doors apart and push them together when entering. The doors are supposed to be automatic. The elevator was broken and after making our way through the Maze of the hotel from that end we finally found the elevator we needed. There was only one ice machine that worked for all four floors, and that machine was empty most of the time. This place needs a lot of help and is starting to look ran down despite the new coat of paint thrown on the walls. But if you don't care about Aesthetics it is nice for the pocketbook and quiet.

We stayed here as a layover for our next destination and thank goodness it was just for one night. Our room was dirty and outdated. The bathroom was gross; rusty tub and not sure if the tile had black caulk or it was mold or a mix of both. The uncertainty was enough for all of us to not even use the shower. We also did not use the cover or blankets on the bed because honestly we did not feel comfortable in the cleanliness. The water pressure was low in the sinks. The ceiling fan was so dusty that we were afraid that if it was turned on, dust would be flying everywhere in the room. The back sliding door leading out to the dunes also did not lock properly and there was dirt and mold in the doors. The only pro was that the room size was big. But the overall dirtiness, lack of cleanliness and grossness outweigh it all. The Inn has great potential with its easy access to the beach but the lack of cleanliness needs to be addressed.

Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly. Once we got to our room, we unpacked and got ready for the night. The first thing we noticed was the door would not fully close unless you pulled rather hard and slam it closed. Creating a loud noise. *When I would leave to let our pup out early, the noise from the door would wake her.* Once we got back from our night out we decided to use the jetted tub. Which was a very bad decision. The tub was very dirty and the jets shot out brown foam and mucus from previous stays. Being absolutely disgusted, we took a shower. And that tub would not drain. Needless to say, our amazing night out turned into a frustrating stay in.

We stayed on the first floor, no view of the ocean, but ocean was a couple of minutes away. Everything was in working condition, plenty of supplies, and very clean. Excellent breakfast was included, plus coffee, tea, and juices available 24 hours a day. We also enjoyed some pool time and sauna. Maybe it would appear not super fancy to ours, but we really liked it, I would absolutely stay there again.

Great location. Rooms had electric fireplace but does not throw out any heat. There was no light to see in the living room to play games. Gary at the front desk was great. However, the hotel rooms and common areas were dirty. The floors/carpet were very dirty. Carpet needed to be cleaned and every other area needed to be vacuumed-badly! In our room there was crumbs/a dirty sock and candy wrappers on the floor by the bed from previous guests.

The setting is beautiful with easy access to the beach and ocean views. The person managing the morning breakfast set-up was amazing, very friendly and helpful. The public areas were neat and clean but the ice machine on our floor was out of order, and so was the hotel's hot tub. After looking at other reviews, apparently that has been the case for several months. We were traveling with another couple and at check-in asked if we could be assigned rooms on the same floor, but we were told that rooms were already assigned and couldn't be changed because we had booked the room through a third party. We were told if we had booked directly with the hotel, they could have changed the rooms, which makes no sense, but that was the only explanation we were given. The room was large and comfortable, but there were housekeeping and maintenance issues, such as burnt-out lightbulbs, and the ceiling fan was filthy. If you like soft, clean towels, this is absolutely not the hotel for you. The towels were horrible. They were small, dingy, and as rough as sandpaper. We won't stay at this hotel in the future because of the attitude at check-in regarding booking the room through Experian.

There was blood on our sheets. The front desk lady hates her job and shows it in how she talks to people. We walked in and I needed to use the bathroom And I asked and she was going to tell me no until I said we were checking in. Someone called while we were checking in she put the head set to her mouth said call back Ina hr when I can give you my attention and hung up on them.

We stayed in a corner King room on the 4th floor and had fantastic view of the ocean dunes, beach, and waves! The deck was large enough for 2 people to use the supplied chairs and watch the waves. The room was spacious with a kitchen bar that include a refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. The bar top separated the bedroom area from the living room area. In the Livingroom there was a hide-a-bed.

--Fantastic view of the ocean! --No A/C in the rooms, so windows have to be open, which means a lot of noise. --The room I was in (303) was out of range of both the hotel's wifi and any cell towers... --Standard hotel breakfast fare, but the entire buffet is lined up on one wall, so a massive line forms. Staff desperately need to move the waffle maker and toaster away from the buffet.

I give this property a 8 out of 10. I would give this property the 8 rating because of the location. It’s right next to and in walking distance of the beach (like a 2 minute walk). The property was clean and we felt safe staying here. The reason it doesn’t get a 10 is because the wifi connection was intermittent (they did notify us of this so props to them for that but still a minor inconvenience). Another reason it gets an 8 from us is due to their construction and elevator issues. A good portion of the property is under minor construction and we personally were one ride away from potentially getting stuck in the elevator. The door malfunctioned on the elevator trip right before we were about to get on. We are pretty sure everyone was able to get off just fine but hearing a loud pop behind an elevator door is not comforting. We took the stairs for the remainder of our stay. The property over all needs some updating as the elevators look old and outdated. Still a comfortable stay and would recommend if you are laid back like we are and not worried about being inconvenienced by stairs.

The room was great, big, ocean view and jacuzzi tub was awesome. What I didn't like was the bed. To me that is the most important. If you don't go to sleep because your body hurts because its so hard that just ruins the room. I mentioned this to the front desk. She basically said you can't please everyone. Which is true but I like a softer bed and my husband likes a firmer bed but even he couldn't sleep. We ended up buying a pillow top cover from walmart because we still had 1 more night and that helped. Breakfast was better than some places with the choices.

We booked and paid for a family room with 2 sets of bunk beds and a king, which I confirmed by phone and at check in. We arrived to our room with 2king beds. I felt it wasn’t worth complaining as I had confirmed it before heading up got to breakfast the next morning, no waffles as told would be part of the breakfast. The next morning we came to the breakfast 20 minutes before closing. No waffles again and virtually no warm breakfast items. Very frustrating and we’ve been there several times over the years and it’s been great. This time we relied on both having the room we booked (with 3 young grandchildren) and the breakfast we were told we would have available between 6-9am. None of those things happened. I’m sad to have had this experience as it will force me to book somewhere else.
