    The room was a little stuffy at night. Would be nice if there were larger fans available - but overall a fantastic stay!

    Fabulous location - walking distance to the beach, restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery store. Spacious room - could hear the sound of the waves from bed! I was able to enjoy walking the beach multiple times during my stay. The room was very clean. Well-appointed kitchen!

    There were three brooms in the condo but no dustpans which made cleaning up after ourselves more difficult. Please add those to the room.

    We loved the location because it happened to be right near where our family was staying. The beds were comfortable and It was very convenient to get to the beach. We especially enjoyed having the warm pool to enjoy after being on the beach.

    Fantastic location ... in the heart of downtown, so a quick and easy walk to shops and restaurants. And just steps from the beach. Gas fireplace in our room kept us toasty and warm even though it was raining and cold for most of the weekend. Wonderful experience and will definitely stay here again!

    The stairs were a little hard to walk up and down had to make sure you didn’t slip because of the carpet. There should be hooks for jackets or clothes, etc., in the bedrooms and at entry. Suggestion: behind hutch going up wall of stairs.

    Location!! The best location to get around downtown Cannon Beach.

    The only thing I would complain about is the TV was difficult to operate, and a bit hard to watch from our bed… but we didn’t go to Cannon Beach to watch TV!

    Great location, walking distance from the heart of the (North) downtown area. Yet private and quiet.

    What a view!!! We had a "to go" dinner in the little dinette and watched the birds and the beach until sunset (pelican spa). Lovely craftsmen feel with a river rock fireplace. This would be a lovely year round for beach lovers.

    Nothing - everything was perfect.

    The hotel was very clean and was in a great location. It was right in the heart of downtown Cannon Beach, and we were able to walk to the shops and restaurants within a few minutes. We loved how close to the beach the hotel was. The room was incredibly clean, and the staff were friendly. My husband and I both said that we would absolutely stay at The Waves again. You can't beat the price either!

    Parking is a little tight. Luckily you can walk everywhere so you can leave your car once you find a spot.

    Location is the best. Close to the beach and the town. I was able to walk everywhere. This was my second stay at the waves. I will definitely stay again.

    The rooms were SO bright and made it difficult to sleep anytime the sun was out. It was bright and happy so i hate to even mention it, but it definitely impacted sleep

    Incredible location near the beach and so many shops and restaurants. Very clean facilities and wonderful to have a fridge and microwave.
