Seaside Lodge & International Hostel

Northern Oregon Coast


For decent budget lodgings you can't beat this family-friendly hostel, offering good dorms and private rooms with bath – most opening to the parking area. There's a kitchen and TV room, but the highlight is the grassy backyard overlooking a river. Canoe and kayak rentals; cyclists and those who get here by bus get a $2 discount.
