Embarcadero Resort Hotel & Marina

Ok,
The bar was nice knowing I had to wait till 4 pm for my room. Do not! Expect to check in early.
At 3:50 I asked if the room might be ready but he said check with me in 10min. That would be 4pm by gosh.
Wow, I know check in is at 4 now but not much for going out of your way counter guy.
Bar is great very friendly looking forward to hanging out tonight.

This was my second stay at the Embarcadero. The first time went without a hitch. This time there were just a few disappointments.
Cool stuff:
+ They made a last-​minute reservation for us — great!
+ They waved their two-​night minimum for us. Thank you.
+ We got a 2 bed /​2 bath suite which was pretty nice.
Disappointments:
+ They wouldn’t let us leave our luggage in the lobby and the room wasn’t ready until 4pm… This was very inconvenient for us because we arrived before noon in a pickup truck with our luggage uncovered in the back. So we had to deal with securing our luggage as we travelled about town. –1
+ We must have gotten the only room without a good view — first floor, back row, so it was hard to see much more than the parking lot. I know how nice the view can be from my first stay here, so I was quite disappointed by this. –1
+ The price still seemed very expensive for it being off-​season and not having a good view from the room. I would have expected it to be about 10 — 15% cheaper than what it was

made reservations well in advance of Christmas boat parade, showed up on time, 5pm, and was not served meal till 7:30,and it was horrid, the steak was not rib eye as said on menu, the crab was so overcooked it was rubbery, the crab crap in the shell was inedible, and the vegetables were raw. The most absurd meal our party had ever had, just a shame on a party night. Will not be back.

Everything at Embarkadero is top notch from the rooms, the view, the service. Our 2 bedroom time share condo was super clean and comfortable and fully equipped even to make Thanksgiving dinner! (which consisted of red rock and Dungeness crab we caught from the private crab dock at the hotel). We brought our own traps but the hotel rents traps and also sells bait.
My friend had a broken ankle and the staff went out of their way to make him more comfortable.
The bartender and front desk staff were super friendly and helpful.
We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather the whole weekend. I know the resort had nothing to do with that, but it was the icing on the cake of our trip. Feels like home away from home and actually don’t want to leave!

Great view of the bridge from our room, but very disappointed in the room. It was extremely small and hot with no AC. Slightly dirty, but it’s only a mile walk away from the waterfront downtown.

What a disappointment. I traveled 4 hours for a mediocre meal. The waitress appeared to have her mind elsewhere and looked like she’d worked a double shift. Think we could get a Bloody Mary on a Sunday afternoon? Guess not, bar didn’t open till 3pm. This is the beach, people. Bars are always open.
My girlfriends and I will find another place to spend our time and money

This review is for the hotel. I have reviewed the restaurant separately.
I stayed in a third-​floor room.
Be aware that, like many second-​rate and/​or older hotels on the Oregon Coast, the rooms at the Embarcadero are not air conditioned. AC is not often needed on the Oregon Coast. But, while day’s high when I stayed, was only about 72, the third-​floor room was hot and stuffy by the time I arrived early in the evening from the sun pounding down on the black roof and heat from the floors below rising up. I opened the windows and setup the provided box fan. By the time I got back from dinner, things had cooled off nicely. But, if you don’t like to have windows open, request a ground-​floor room during spring, summer, and fall. By the way, the windows and balcony doors do not have screens.
The room was basic. It was clean and nice. The bed and furniture were newer and comfortable. The carpeting was worn. The picture-​of-​wood laminate on the bathroom vanity was quite literally held on by black electrical tape; I can’t make this stuff up folks. So there were clearly some rough edges.
As others have noted, the shower head is about maybe five feet above the tub floor. If you are more than about five feet tall, you will have to bend down to wash your hair. The shower, however, is a good one.
What’s really good here is the views. Every room faces the water and has a private balcony or patio with a great view. It was a great pleasure to wile away the evening watching the ships go by. It was also a pleasure to wake up to such a great view.
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. My reservation and bill were handled perfectly.
So, if the room was clean and overall comfortable, and given the great views, why only three stars? Well, this place styles itself as a deluxe «resort,» and they price themselves accordingly too. IMHO, this place just doesn’t deliver fully on the promise and the price.
While they do rent to non-​members like me, this property is part of a vacation timeshare scheme called Vacations Internationale. So, your stay here is also your opportunity to sample Vacations Internationale and see if this is the sort of place you may want to join.

Let’s just say worst service ever and the food was not nearly worth the price. Steer clear.

I only went to the restaurant portion of this resort, and it’s safe to say I will not be returning. The service was awful. At our table of 6, our waitress mixed up some orders, and all together forgot about the others. She also annoyingly refused to directly address the children. One of them was speaking rather quietly, so she told his parents she couldn’t understand him. At no point did she ever make eye contact with the kid. She also didn’t move to an easier listening position, but just inquired to the parents. When the food finally arrived, we all agreed it was bad at the very best. All in all, this place has bad service and worse food, and it’s only redeeming quality is it’s décor and nice view of the marina.

Stayed in a two bedroom condo with great view of the harbor. We were a little Leary of eating at the restaurant due to the $$$$ status. After having several disappointing meals in the down town area, we decided to go the last night there. Prices were more reasonable than we thought and the food was great with a spectacular view of the harbor. Wish we would have checked it out sooner! Guess where we will go for breakfast before we leave Newport.

This is a review for the Vacation Internationale (VI) condos at the Embarcadero. We had a lovely two-​bedroom/​two bath condo with a magnificent view of the Bay. The condo had new furnishings, was clean and the beds were very comfortable. It is very large and there are many places to lounge around! The condo is walking distance from the charming waterfront– which is filled with great restaurants. I would definitely recommend this condo for fellow VI owners.

Quite a romantic view. Very attentive and friendly. Oyster shooters were not on fleek but our server was the sweetest man I’ve ever met. Good for the view meh for the food. Only place within reasonable wali g distance from The Landing at Newport.

This hotel has gone downhill over the years, we’ve stayed here before and were very pleased! However, this most recent trip was extremely disappointing and we will never stay here again! You can hear everything the neighbors are doing from talking, walking up and down the stairs and slamming doors. We hardly slept at all during our stay. We also reserved the «crabby package» which includes a free crab net; upon our arrival we were told that all the nets were reserved, so we just went out and bought our own the next day.
We will never stay here again that’s for sure! Which is too bad, this hotel has so much potential and so much to offer but they have really let things slide over the years!

The food is average to slightly below average. The salad is uninspired with just some greens (admittedly fresh) and tomato slices. The chicken on the salad tasted odd and possibly off.
The chowder was also very average and bland. They’d do better buying Ivar’s at Costco and reheating it. The service was attentive and they brought out bread when requested even though it was lunchtime.
The star here is the bay view which is great.

We had the best view, it was windy and perfect! We were on the top floor! The view of the bay was gorgeous! The bedroom was upstairs, with a queen size super comfortable bed, and had two chairs for the small living area. It was super quaint!

This review is for the hotel.
The room is great with a great view off the back patio of the bay.
It is clean and well furnished, big, comfortable, very pleased with the room.
The lady at the front desk, Emily I believe, was very friendly and helpful each time we talked with her.

Since I cannot do two reviews I’ll put the restaurant review here. Should really be two entries in Unilocal,one for the hotel, one for the restaurant.
I’d probably give the restaurant three stars. The wait staff were friendly and helpful but it took awhile for us to get our food, and our appetizer came at the same time as the meal.
The rib eye wasn’t bad, but I don’t feel it was worth the price. The veggies and potatoes were good as sides.
The artichoke dip wasn’t the best I’ve has but fairly good as well.
The one that that really bugged me, though, was that the water glasses were those super tiny ones, like 8 ounces or less, but that didn’t leave a pitcher at our table and because the wait staff was slow my wife and I were constantly out of water.

Horrible!!! They couldn’t do the steak because it was frozen. Everything came out cold, even the baked potato. Wouldn’t ever go back.

This place is horrible, I would give it negative stars if I could, our food was cold, service was horrendous, and found hair in our seafood dip and the «Manger» Jeff arrgued with me in front of other patrons that it was mine I have short brown hair my wife has black it was blonde and long. DONT GO HERE!!!

«In the heart of bay front»
We have our timeshare here.
Great place to stay.
Short walk to bay front.
Great remodeled restaurant. Good band. Bartender served up some great drinks. Weather was very nice during stay.
Anything we needed at the resort was cheerfully dealt with.
The deck furniture was in the best shape I’ve seen it.
Pool was refreshing, and even though only 1 of the 2 hot tubs was working, it was nice. They did have issues with saunas they were addressing them.
They have private crabbing spots and give you a pot, thats fun.

This is our go to hotel, we love it here. We come at least every 2 months. From the eclectic suits, studios and salt water pool, we wouldn’t change a thing. The staff is so friendly in the hotel and in the restaurant.
