Under no circumstances should anyone stay at the Ocean Crest Resort.
My wife booked this property for our family to explore the Washington coast, but arriving left us stunned. The only visible sign said “Resort”—the “Ocean Crest” portion had fallen off. The exterior was alarming, with rotten wood, heavy moss, staining, and widespread decay.
This is not a resort by any reasonable definition. At best, it is a neglected motor inn. The advertised spa does not exist, amenities are minimal, the pool is across the street, and bathrooms were closed. Staff shrugged when asked where guests could go.
Our double queen suite was deeply unsettling. Floors slanted toward the ocean at roughly three degrees and felt soft underfoot. The balcony was moss-covered, walls and ceilings were damaged, carpets stained, and the room smelled strongly of mildew. Bath water ran black initially, and the toilet didn’t flush properly.
Management was dismissive, and the manager hung up on my wife. Photos online do not reflect the current condition; surrounding buildings and grounds appear abandoned, superficially repainted, and hastily reopened.
This property is unacceptable, unsafe, and unworthy of its advertised status.
