Glenacres Historic Inn

My husband and I stayed at the end the weekend of August 28 for two nights. We were there for charter boat fishing. Yes the room we stayed in No. 10 was small as was the bathroom w/​the standup shower, but it was really clean. Yes it is an older facility, but it was much nicer than I expected. I’ve certainly stayed at worse for more money. Steve the Inn keeper was very nice and welcoming. This will most definitely be my first choice when we come back to Westport.

When reading reviews about accommodations in Westport, WA, it is important to remember that this is not the French Riviera. Five Diamond accommodations are not to be found. Westport is a fishing town. It is not a tourist hot-​spot.
Me and my wife stayed in the Studio Cottage this last weekend. We booked the cottage, because our 2−½ year old corgi barks when we stay in hotels. Someone next door closes the door and he barks. Someone upstairs walks across the room and he barks. We always try to find a single story hotel or a cottage to rent.
The cottage was clean. It is pretty much as in the pictures. Some of the furniture was moved around, but the pictures give a good overall view of the cottage. The most important comment was the cottage was clean. The appliances worked. The cottage did not have A/​C, but that is generally not needed on the Washington coast. The windows on the west and east sides of the building opened. This provided good air flow with the constant coast breeze.
I have two complaints about the cottage. The first is something noted by others who have reviewed the inn — The shower is small. That said, it was not the worst shower I have taken. There was decent water pressure and lots of hot water. The main problem is that one of the two beds sagged. This happened to be the bed we elected to use our first night. This really needs to be corrected. The other bed was just fine.
Even with these two issues, we will definitely look to stay here for our next visit to Westport.

The cottage was really only a 2 ½ star, but the owners where fantastic about booking a last minute late arrival and accommodating for our pet on a busy summer weekend.
It appears that they are in the process of upgrading their cottages, so I’d definitely stay here again. The main house is very well maintained and is one of the better places to stay in Westport.

4 stars for a fishing trip hotel stay.
You must set your expectations when going to Westport. I stayed in the Westport room. The room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was very small but clean. The tv was probably a 13″ from the 80’s but I wasn’t there to watch tv.
The entire place had that «old» smell. My wife would have been comfortable staying here and she has hated some other places in Westport. It is comparable to the islander but I only paid $ 65/​night

We stayed in the South Bay Window Room, which is #4. We’ve chosen two stars for a few different reasons. Before I get to that let me say this: Glenacres Historic Inn is not awful. It served our purpose for a comfortable bed and warm shower before a 4am wake-​up for a charter fishing trip. The inn-​keeper was very friendly and greeted us warmly. When we return for the next charter fishing trip, we will consider this inn again with full knowledge of what to expect.
So, my expectations of going to an Inn tend to be fairly high. Expectations were not met with Glenacres. The exterior of the house is weather worn. The property is a tad messy. We walked around the house and there is a pleasant patio garden to use when the weather is nice. The downstairs interior, from what we could see in the main entry, is cluttered and not welcoming. This is not an Inn to relax in.
The bedroom was fine, but I’ve experienced better for the price of $ 89. The king size bed was comfortable but the pillow was flat as cardboard. I wish I had brought my Z-​pillow from home.
The private bathroom really is an old closet made into a bathroom. My husband has wide shoulders and he could not use the bathroom comfortably. His shoulders touched wall to wall. The standup shower was clean. Be aware, if you use the period sink while also running the shower you will get a blast of scalding hot water or freezing cold water. Don’t let your partner/​spouse run the faucets when in the shower!
We left very early the next morning, so missed the provided coffee.
It appears that Glenacres is a labor of love for the owner and a work in progress. We hope that our next visit shows an Inn that is much improved because it has a great deal of potential.

Exactly what I was looking for for my 20 year high school reunion weekend. Very affordable, clean and comfy! The staff is both understanding and accomodating. I will definitely be staying here again.

We stayed in room 5 or the Rose room. The room was quaint and very clean. They do seem to be in transition when it comes to accommodations and rates. The Rose room had a twin as well as the expected queen (comfortable). I’d call to make sure the website is correct before reserving. The staff were helpful and hospitable. This is not like the other dive hotel/​motel in West Port. Although, the prices are low, the rooms have an historic charm while the rest of the house which is completely accessible to you is full of character and charm.
They serve complimentary tea and coffee to guests and they have some light breakfast options for sale that change.

We live in the elk room, room number 12. The room is clean, however the sound insulation is terrible. You could hear the next door neighbor so clearly that it is essentially like living in the same room with a stranger.

We stayed here while searching around for a home to rent in the area and wondered why we hadn’t found the place sooner. The people are very friendly and accommodating, the rooms are clean and cute and the location is beautiful and convenient. Definitely will be recommending this for visiting friends and family!

Very clean and comfortable rooms. Very affordable. We will definitely return!

Loved the Victorian furnishings and the large common room with it’s wood burning fireplace. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable of the area. A good place for a steampunk tea or a knitting retreat and the room prices are very reasonable.

Last Christmas, we were having a really tough time coming up with a gift for my boyfriend’s dad. His mom is easy to shop for, but his dad is one of those guys who buys what he needs and doesn’t want more than that — it gets tough. So I suggested my boyfriend take him out on a charter fishing boat, the way the family did when my boyfriend was still living at home with the ‘rents.
Of course, that meant it was my responsibility to keep his mom occupied while the men were out on the boat — as well as to be the ultimate decider in regards to accommodations. Based on the Unilocal reviews, we opted for Glenacres, which is just a couple miles from the water and seemed cozy and most importantly, clean and reasonably priced.
Coming from Seattle, on a Friday night… well, to say we ran into traffic was an understatement. When we called to let the staff know we would be later than desired, they were more than willing to put our keys in our rooms for us and allowed us to let ourselves in. We had adjoining rooms [and thoughtfully, boyfriend and I opted for the room with the set of keys that let us into his parents’ room, rather than the other way around!] and each room had a small television with cable, a couple chairs, a table, and its own bathroom. It should be noted: my boyfriend enjoyed his easy access to Jersey Shore [we don’t have cable at home].
On Saturday afternoon [post man-​boat voyage] we came back to a clean room [hooray!] and we met the proprietor, who was a very kind man who welcomed us to lounge about in the communal area, grab coffee or whathaveyou and gave us some tips on where to visit in town.
Boyfriend’s parents had a loud snorer in the room next to them, but that was really the only downside to our stay — and obviously Glenacres can’t be held responsible for that ;) We’ll probably be back soon, seeing as Father’s Day, Birthdays and Christmas all come once a year!

A cute little place with more personality than the average budget hotel! We paid $ 65 for the Elk River room, which had garden access, two beds, a microwave and mini-​fridge. The décor is quaint and country-​style (not really my thing), but clean and cheerful. The room was quite chilly when we arrived and we had to crank up the heat, but the thermostat goes from 1 – 10 rather than by degrees, so we had to keep adjusting it to get to a comfortable temperature. Our room was on the very end, so the water took several minutes to heat up, but there was plenty for our showers once it arrived. The bathroom was tiny and definitely only for one person. The bed was comfortable. We only saw one outlet in the room and one of the plugs was being used by the bedside lamp, so charging phones/​devices can be a challenge.
Depending on which room you get, you may have access to the garden/​deck out back. There’s a pretty gazebo and a spacious area for seating, although it was way too chilly to linger out there during our stay. You also get free run of the large common room at the front of the house, though this wasn’t pointed out to us during our check-​in so we didn’t really spend any time there.
The owner is very friendly and chatty, happy to give recommendations on local sightseeing and dining. He pointed us to the cranberry bogs nearby, which are worth a visit if you’ve never seen one. He said they’re going to start food service later this year, so it may turn into more of a B&B, although it will be open to the public as a restaurant too.
Overall, this is an economical, clean, and quiet place to stay, especially if you’re mainly looking for somewhere to leave your stuff and sleep.

This place has a lot of charm and character. They offer different types/​sizes of accommodations, they seems to be all reasonably priced. It’s a block away from Red Apple Market, a couple of minutes away from beach access and not too far from downtown.
We stayed in a two story cottage with another couple. They brought their dog and we brought our two dogs with us. It has a fully fenced backyard for dogs to run around. It was perfect for our three dogs! I believe that’s the intention of this backyard. It’s not a pretty looking backyard, but we didn’t have to worry about our dogs damaging anything since there were nothing but a space to run. There are big front yard for people to hang out and play horseshoes. I felt our dogs are very welcomed here since they even had a welcome basket for dogs.
The cottage has a bed on each floor. Upstairs bedroom is a little more private but not completely private since there’s only half door at the end of the stairs. Downstairs bedroom situation is little interesting since it’s a part of living space facing to the kitchen and living room. There’s no actual «bedroom», just a bed. There’s a five piece bathroom with a powerful jet tub upstairs. It is beautifully remodeled&updated, it has a five star hotel feel to it. There’s a powder room downstairs. Because of this layout you are going to share the whole house with your group, so be mindful who you are going there with. We were there with our really close friends, but if you prefer a little more privacy, you may want to book two rooms instead of a cottage.
Steve the owner is very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of this inn. You can tell he has invested his heart to this inn. This place has a lot of history and filled with interesting antique stuffs. They are still doing more remodeling and updating. He said that currently they are working on the rooms on third floor of the main building, which will offer beautiful view of the ocean.
If you like something with a little more character than typical ocean condo/​motel, this place is the winner. I would recommend it to anyone, but especially to people traveling with dogs!

Stayed here last weekend. Not a bad little place and what I considered to be a great value. $ 50/​night for a very soft but decent bed, world’s smallest TV (but a big channel selection), cute antique-​y furniture, and green bathroom fixtures. We stayed in one of the rooms on the outside, but there are a number of rooms in the house and two cottages detached from the building.
Located on the main drag into Westport, it’s a 3 minute drive to the beach, probably a 15 minute walk. They allow dogs, so my beloved Riley was able to stay with us and meet the ocean for the first time. The main supermarket is a stone’s throw away, and there are decent bars within walking distance.
The owner is a informative and talkative man, completely interested in helping his guests find the right activity for them. Very chilled out atmosphere! They allow guests to use the downstairs portion of the main house to hang out it. I would gather that in the winter, it’s probably a fantastic place to sit in front of the fire and play cards before bed. Too much daylight in the summer to do that though, so we didn’t take advantage of it.
All in all, I’d go back, recommend to a friend, and recommend it to you.
