Great seaside hotel
We used this hotel for the starting and stoping point of our 26-mile hike on the Lost Coast. It was a wonderfully charming spot with amazing views. The rooms were lean and well supplied, and the process was managed very well. We also had breakfast at the cafe after our hike, and we loved the food, coffee, and the service. Highly recommend.

Seals on Rocks.
Great views of the beach. Really comfortable beds. Great shower. Parking was easy. Great little place for breakfast in the morning. The seals on the rock beach were a bonus!

Fantastic Stay
Oceanfront Inn at Shelter Cove was the perfect place for us to stay in Shelter Cove. While the outside is unassuming, the inside was very nice and larger than expected with first rate ocean views. Convienent location with a cafe on the ground level that puts you within walking distance to the golf course and brewery. Would defenitly recomment.

The hotel is a bit run down. Front door was half painted, lots of things are rusty and weathered, the slider is very difficult to operate. The bed is hard and old, the pillows are flat. The heater on the wall does not work so you get to use a small space heater. Redeeming qualities are the location, just leave the slider open and listen to the waves. Also, the jacuzzi tub is pretty awesome.

Don’t stay here
First of all the photos of the property shown on the website must be 20 years old. The building itself is very worn looking actually close to shabby. The room accommodation itself is minimalist. The television was impossible to operate. I never was able to get anything but the golf channel.

Amazing views, used the hot tub every day, clean and neatly decorated and so nice they allow dogs. Check in was super easy. Heater doesn't work but they provided a space heater in the room which left on heated up the room surprisingly well

Simply amazing and breathtaking!
I had an amazing and relaxing time at the Oceanfront Inn. The view is simply breathtaking. My room was very clean, and it is well decorated. It is so quiet here, as well! No sounds of busy roads, just the sound of the Pacific. The drive on the winding mountain roads are well worth it!
The Innkeeper Nickie is awesome. She called me right before I was ready to leave for my trip. She really accommodated me when the room I booked wasn't available- thank you again, Nickie! I will definitely be back, hopefully I can stay longer next time!
