I WOULD stay here again... location is fabu... setting is fabu...
But imagine getting to a hotel/motel room and finding ZERO soap in the room (none of any kind). There were precisely two towels in the room. Both little more than hand towels. There were also zero cups/glasses in the room upon arrival.
I also never could get any air conditioning to work in my room at all. Luckily it was "the shoulder season" and I could open the deck door.
Indeed you could go to the counter and request those items. I even saw lush large towels on the (front) counter (of the establishment) at various times (so often when I was leaving, vs. when returning to my room).
The location is incredible for awesome sunsets, and amazing star-watching after dark as well as usual beach activities. DEER were feeding on the grass behind the hotel one morning. (DEER are all over Ocean Shores)
I just think that... the "Shilo Inn" name should bring the minimum standards up to a level where at least SOME soap might be encountered upon first arrival in one's room.
Imagine rushing to your hotel, merely to check in, and then you go look at the room, or drop bags, and use the bathroom & can't properly clean your hands right then.
If that were the 'standard' all around, then OK, but nobody is wrong for anticipating soap in a room.
(and it really is "what people reasonably expect" that is a seeming standard in this case)
Despite that slip-up, this remains a great location and I really would stay there again.
