Great view of the Astoria Megler bridge and the Columbia river. Motel is clean and has large rooms overlooking the river and bridge. The hot tub has powerful jets. Pets stay for free! We have two large dogs so we love pet friendly motels away from the traffic.

Stay here for the price and the view. We stayed here one night as a stopover on a trip to the southern Oregon coast and pretty much just needed a place to spend the night. As others have noted, it's an older place and I probably wouldn't have chosen the blue paint in our room. But that said, the lady... More

We go to Astoria a couple of times a year, and we strayed from the Crest for awhile due to a (one-time) experience with a cranky guy manning the desk. We decided to give the Crest another chance this past weekend, and we're glad we did; the crabby-pants fellow appeared to not be working there anymore, the view is still... More

WARNING... there is 3 law enforcement patrols always patrolling. the crest is cool, away from downtown and the price is right!!! smoking... More

We stay here evey year and are never disappointed. The rooms are large, clean, quiet and well maintained. They are dated in decore, but the beds are comfortable. The view is spectacular, no other hotel in Astoria offers such a view. The desk and cleaning staff are pleasant and friendly. The contenental breakfast is limited to pastries and coffee, but... More

This is an old fasioned motel with a view to die for. It is quiet, out of the way, a few minutes only to wonderful downtown Astoria and all it has to offer. The rooms are vintage, comfortable but not a lot of bells and whistles. It's that view and the romance that we love so much. The price, considering... More

I spent 2 days here and was more than happy with what it provided for the cost. Yes, it needs some updating. Yes, it's "tired" overall. And no, it's not the most luxurious place. But it is clean, the rooms are very large with many amenities (fridge, microwave, ample furniture) and I don't think there's a better view of the... More

The Crest has unquestionably the best view in Astoria. Each room faces down the Columbia River toward the Megler-Astoria Bridge and the blue Pacific beyond which can provide for some fantastic sunsets- or not. Heavy fog is always a possibiity as well so be prepared even in the summer- but this is Astoria! We stayed at the Crest for three... More

This is not the fanciest of places, but I'd never pass up the chance to stay here!!!!!!! It is typically very clean, the front desk folks are so helpful and kind. We always get an upper story room which faces the river -- great view!
