Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area Hotels

"Great place to relax near the beach with our dogs!"

" The Black Sands Inn offered a wonderful stay right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. I had some trepidation about the self-check in process, but all went well. The exterior of the building needs some TLC, but my room was clean, beautifully appointed, and comfortable. I enjoyed the meditative sound of the ocean, walks around the small community of Shelter Cove, and conversations with some of the local residents. The visit to the Inn and area was great."

"Check in was very simple and quick. Room was clean and motel was quiet. Great stay! Would definitely recommend and return."

"Nice accommodations and good setup with a kitchenette in the lodge room"

"I have stayed here before and my expectations we met with this visit. Room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. Is an easy placed to stay on our trip to Avenue of the Giants."

"Perfect place for our stayover. Very clean and responsive owners."

"Quiet motel with a grocery store and excellent restaurant within a minute of walking. Rooms are a good value, staff was awesome and made me feel at home"

"Great bar - happy hour was perfect for meeting people. Friendly vibe. Wonderful relaxed communal areas. Dinner was disappointing. But chicken wings were the best. "

"We had to suddenly get a room as we were camping and bad weather set in. The staff were so kind and accommodating. Check in time was 3:00, but because our room was ready they allowed us to check in at 9:00am!!! The room overlooked a fabulous rocky beach where we sat on our balcony and watched the seals on the rocks below. Our room was actually an apartment with a king size bed. They did not skimp on any thing… plentiful towels, coffee, creamer, soaps, lotions… To be honest, the outside of the complex was a little too rustic and a little unkempt, but the rest makes up for it tenfold. Bravo!"
