Just stayed for 1 night, but was a very nice, clean 1 bedroom unit on the first floor. Even without a view of the ocean you can still hear the surf while sitting outside on the patio. We had 2 queen beds and both were too hard for my liking but that wouldn’t stop me from staying again. Love the location and checking/out was a breeze.

A spontaneous trip to Ocean Shores and we were lucky enough to get a room here. It felt like a small one bedroom apartment and it was perfect for me, my boyfriend and our teen. Staff was kind and room was clean and well maintained. We definitely would come back and stay here. Walking distance to the water also made it a big plus.

We didn’t like the back bedroom lack of privacy as it looked out on main hallway. Our grandsons complained that the sheets were scratchy. We liked being on first floor so we and our dog could sit outside. Our grandsons loved being able to go to the pool 2x day. . A pleasant stay. We have stayed in different accommodations at the Canterbury Inn and will be back next year.
