Top Smith River Hotel Reviews

Lighthouse Inn

10/10 Excellent

"“Price is what you pay, and value is what you get.” We felt we got great value for our money here. The location is excellent for visiting the Redwood National and State Parks, and the room was clean and comfortable. The hotel lobby is beautiful, with a charming lighthouse theme that really fits the coastal setting. The breakfast was also above average compared with what you typically get at hotels. Overall, a great stay and a very good value for the price."

Oceanfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great rooms, wonderful location, dinner were delicious!"

Anchor Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Quick walk across the street to South Beach. Pet friendly, helpful desk agent."

Best Western Plus Northwoods Inn

10/10 Excellent

"$778"

Brookings Inn Resort

8/10 Good

"Quite good overall. Good location. There was not much of a buffer between our ground floor unit and the one above us. You could easily hear and almost feel every foot step of the people staying in the unit above. There was a refrigerator in the room but no microwave. There is no free breakfast stuff. Staff interactions went great. Stern notice in writing attached to front desk panel said if you cause any problems whatsoever you will be kicked out no questions asked and forfeit any money you paid. Like for example, if someone is rude to a staff member. It just seemed so direct and scary. I made sure to keep a very low profile. I was very kind and friendly in my limited interactions with staff and I made sure I did not cause any problems. Wi Fi was slow and glitchy. We stayed three nights and had a good experience overall. I regret not trying out the swimming pool as it looked nice. I would stay here again. I quite liked it overall. Thanks!"
