The kitschy, busy town of Seaside is often one of the first places to come to mind when planning a trip to the Oregon coast. Located just an hour and a half from Portland, Seaside is a popular destination for day trippers and long-term vacationers alike. The 1.8 mile-long promenade along the beach is a popular destination, and prime real estate for hotels. While there are many more options just a few blocks away, the handful of hotels right on the promenade put you in the center of all the action.
The newly-updated Shilo Inn Seaside gives you a spectacular view of the Pacific, right in the heart of town. Room availability includes doubles, executive suites, and a single queen with loft. The hotel has a restaurant and room service, as well as microwaves and refrigerators. The hotel is dog-friendly, and children under 12 stay free.
