kitchen

The exterior doesn’t excite, but the room we had was clean, spacious and comfortable! The gentleman who checked us in was welcoming and friendly and there was plenty of parking. There was a building that blocked part of our view but we could still see the river. The fact that it was really hot while we were there didn’t matter, the A/C worked wonderfully!! Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again!!

Great place to stay!!

The motel was clean, and we liked that even the basic rooms were a bit like a suite, having a bed in a separate room that is great for a family where not everyone goes to bed at the same time. Good value for price. 
We were a little disappointed that although it was so close to the river, there isn't much of a view from the motel. 

Good Value Motel

The rooms are decent, spacious and equipped kitchen is very convenient, plentiful parking, and friendly front desk staff. The only issue was the cleanliness. There were the usual things -- back of doors and baseboard heaters were grungy -- but much worse. Faeces on toilet seat, pretty sure a couple towels were not washed between guests, hairs around bathroom, unclean surfaces. Once you discover a few of these things, you just don't feel clean in the room at all. 

Good value option but attention needed to cleaning

From the friendly smiling woman who checked us in...fast efficient check in to the room itself, the bed and the WiFi...top notch.  Best 2 star motel we have ever stayed in.  We would definitely recommend.

Couldn't find fault

Elisa, the manager, was great! She was able to accommodate our need for a ground floor room, and even though we arrived late, checking in was effortless. We had left some things behind, which she saved for us (unlike other motels,which would have discarded them), and was able to secure another ground floor room for us when we returned to retrieve them. She was cheerful, patient, and kind, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and fit into our tight budget. We will definitely be returning. Thanks Elisa!

A Breath of Fresh Air

We loved the Astoria Rivershore. When we arrived I had forgotten to ask for a ground floor room ( I was in a lower leg cast.) I was told that all the doubles with kitchens on the ground floor had been reserved....but...just a minute. Our host radioed Heidi, the cleaning impresario, and Heidi said she could finish on up as soon as she got one towel out of the dryer. We were in business! We were worried about noise....but did not have to worry. The back bedroom let us sleep like babies! The beds were awesome, the place was clean, and the shower was great. The kitchen had very limited furnishings. A few dishes, breakfast bowls, glasses, coffee mugs, 4 pans (no pots), a few utensils......but lots of coffee. Their were plenty of towels and pillows. An extra plus was the view out of our window, across the road, of the Columbia river. Yes, this is an older place that has been remodeled, and still shows its age, but the price, the room and the staff made our one nite stay quite enjoyable.

Great older motel, on a busy street, in a great location

Spacious second floor, two bedrooms with a kitchenette for a few dollars more.  Stove worked, full size fridge, dishes and cooking pans.  Microwave needed repair and base board heaters did not work.  Rooms each had a plug in heater which worked well on the one chilly night.   Beds comfortable, towels were soft.  Best part was watching the  ships on the Columbia.  Would stay here agin.

Clean and adequate

My stay was not bad, but the several times I required speaking with the front desk no one was there. Their bill does not break down the daily rates for the room, taxes, and fees. 

After having issues with my reimbursement, I had to call 30 times in one day to get someone to answer, and sent several emails to their “reservation” address. It is a joke. I finally was able to reach someone and I gave them direct instructions for what I required in my bill breakdown and the period of the stay. Not only did they not give me the incorrect bill, but again did not have a breakdown of the charges. 

The cleanliness, was okay at best. Like another reviewer on here, I too cleaned the unit and successfully rid the room of the beer and smoke smells. In addition, I cleaned the bath and bedroom. 

I chose this motel due to having a kitchen and being affordable. If you take away anything from this review, pay the $100-200 extra charge for the big name hotels. Will save you the headache and aggravation later.

If you are on business, do not come here

First impression - old, could use some updates.  If cleanliness (especially during covid times) is a high priority for you & your family - you don't want to stay here.  We understand during covid it's hard to find employees, much less ones with good work ethics.  We believe the manager ended up having to cover housekeeping duties due to the lack of help during our entire stay.  We even saw him changing sheets in a unit with luggage in it & observed the guests pacing the parking lot at the same time we were trying to get things ironed out in our own unit.
  
You will want to do your own housekeeping before you even set your luggage in the door.  We are seasoned travelers, taking sanitizing wipes, hand sanitizer, Lysol spray & dish soap, dish rag & dish towels with us.  Our reservations - 1 bedroom w/kitchen unit for 3 days- awesome view of the river & black out drapes were helpful in keeping noise to a minimum ( since the buildings are right on Hwy 101).  Complimentary wi-fi did not work.

2nd impression - this place is nasty.  Check in was 4:00; we waited until 4:35 figuring, okay that's cool - we'd rather wait a bit for housekeeping to do a good job than have them rush through the cleaning.  We were wrong - I washed every single kitchen item & wiped down the shelves the items were going to be placed back onto, including all the counters, tables, chairs, sofa & high touch areas (REMOTE, door handles, light switches, etc).  This motel had 'no vacancies' for us to move to another unit & we weren't about to pay $200 a night somewhere else.

So thinking beyond what we had to do to feel comfortable, we checked the linens - towels, hand towels, & wash cloths were all still damp/wet & smelled like beer, b.o. & filth, hair on the bottom & top sheet, coverlet of the thin blanket - dirty.  When we pulled the sheets off, disgustingly stained mattress cover.  By this time, if there was a place in town for $200 a night with a kitchen - we would have asked for a refund & moved there.

The bathroom tiles & corners of the shower enclosure had mold growing on them- I got in there & cleaned the bathroom as well.  I should have gotten paid to make our unit habitable.  You're lucky if you were given the room my husband & I had - it was cleaner after we left.  Never again, Rivershore Motel - you proved yourself to be an establishment for the HOMELESS! but in reality, you should just be shut down!

We want to believe the manager was not aware that the employees weren't fulfilling their job responsibilities until guests complained.  He was the one who had to make things right.  We want to believe he wants to run a 'CLEAN' establishment. 

I would upload the pictures, but if I have to look those pics so that you'll have proof, we'll never stay at another hotel, motel, or inn again - & we really love to travel.

!!THIS REVIEW WILL HELP YOU DECIDE NOT TO BOOK HERE!  Travelers BEWARE!!

This motel is not as presented online. $200 per night is not budget friendly & the rooms are dingy at best. All amenities are very cheap, from toilet paper to box fans. There was no top sheet on our bed, just the sheet over the mattress and a blanket & comforter, which was stained.  The chair & couch in the living room were also stained. Two boxed fans were provided as an alternative to air conditioning in the kitchenette suite. We placed one in the bedroom window to cool our room down but find it ridiculous to pay such a price for no a/c at a below quality motel. But, it gets better. At 8 am on Saturday night (a holiday weekend), someone begins to cut down (by hand) the overgrowth behind our room. They give up but return at 9:15 pm with a weed-eater to cut down more. Remember, the box fan is in the window! So not appropriate! I brought up the issues we had at check-out but the desk clerk was not concerned or apologetic. We had never been to Astoria before and based our motel stay on their website. Don't make the same mistake as we did. Steer clear and stay somewhere else. This was my hubby's birthday weekend and I was embarrassed with where I chose to stay to celebrate!
