Inn at Arch Rock Depoe Bay Oregon

 I no longer recommend Inn at Arch Rock. 

I won’t go back. 

Eyesore










The junk outside in the parking lot is always piled there. I’m not wanting to post the photos but these people can afford to do better. But it’s gone steadily downhill except for soaring prices. 

I couldn’t get an answer to reserve a room. That’s always a bad omen. So made it from their site online. The photos on their site showed old photos of charming rooms. Now the rooms look very cheap and coffee maker is on a shelf where you can’t add water to it to make coffee  

The room was reorganized in the worst way possible. The. Breakfast was dry scrambled eggs and tasteless sausage gravy not home made pastries. Eggs may have been powdered? 

Biscuit's nothing to brag about. 

No room service for the 5 days stay but didn’t get notified about it until after the cancellation date had passed. Beds and pillows terribly uncomfortable. Bedspreads not so nice. New stuff was black cheap and not functional. The room was 217.00 a night. 

I didn’t make a complaint as who wants to do that when you’re having a holiday? Or Christmas. I thought they must have sold to someone because it was tasteless. Anyway I would not recommend Inn at Arch Rock anymore. The view is nice. It on its own a yurt might be better. The showers are still like a coffin. They could remodel them, there’s an unnecessary closet if the furniture is situated correctly. But I think they are just greedy from this last stay, and I never support greed. As much as I don’t want to post truly awful images here I will in case anyone’s interested. Thing is they know what they’re doing. But if no one does anything it will get worse. Compare and contrast with my other posts there.

Snowy Days








      
      There are  often 1-2 eagles on this snag.

Connecting and re- connecting in a favorite town not far from home.

Was noticing that people seem to be relaxed this time of year and even though it’s holidays they appear to have a little time to connect. Had some nice chats, enjoyed seeing familiar faces. Pizza was good. Wish I’d brought some home. 

I’ll have to go back and take some indoor photos.   

Spent quite some time making new friends and renewing old ones. It’s a favorite part of my watery world. 

Maybe snow will be next. It’s in the mountains and mountain passes. It wouldn’t be a good year without going to the snow a few or more times. And, it’s always bright up above the monotony of the gray cloud cover that can become dismal day after day. 

Up at the pass skiers and snowboarders brighten the landscape with colorful hats, scarves and jackets set against the brilliant white snow, it’s really a sight for sore eyes  




The river otter caught a fish! It literally seemed to fly up onto the pier and I could hear it’s crunching bites. I feel sorry for the fish!!!




Swans are in the valleys pastures and it’s fun watching them land. Hearing them honk! 
Etc great fun. I will not post any because I only have videos. But they’re in and always nice to pull over and enjoy the swan show. 
On the river a kingfisher stood waiting for its meal to come along. It chatted too back and forth with another up the river a ways. 
Finally it got breakfast and after eating found another spot nearby to wait for dessert I suppose. Or seconds!
