We stayed in one of the condos that overlooked the ocean and it was really nice. You can easily walk down to the beach.

The room was a brand new unit with a nice little balc ##### Terry Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Elena 24 Sept 2025 This was the worst experience I’ve ever had using Hotels.com. As a single female traveler, I spent a lot of time researching a safe place where I could rest during a long drive. Instead, I arrived at the GPS location only to find no sign of the property at all. After several frustrating calls—one went to a property management office that was already closed—I finally reached another hotel’s front desk. Only then did I learn that they were handling check-in for this place. (Much later I found a separate email with instructions, but I never saw it in time since I was on the road.None of these details were shared in the actual App) The front desk explained that the property was brand new, partially under construction, and that I would be the only guest on-site. I was shocked. Following their directions, I drove through an unfinished building site in total darkness until I reached a cluster of bungalows with no lights, no staff, and no security. As a woman traveling alone, it felt extremely unsafe. I didn’t even get out of the car. Instead, I immediately contacted the property to decline the room and booked a nearby motel where I felt safe. ##### Elena Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee 27 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Aimee Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [OYO Hotel St. Helens, OR](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Helens-Hotels-Motel-6-Saint-Helens.h4326655.Hotel-Information) > - [The "Big House" with..
