The La Quinta in South Beach (Newport) is pretty affordable for suites. Their pool is open 24 hours




We%26#39;re planning a 3 night trip in April with our 1 and 2 year olds and can%26#39;t decide where we should go. Any suggestions? Of course we want to visit the aquarium, stay in a motel with an indoor pool, oceanview, and a continental breakfast would be great too. Any ideas? Not sure, besides playing on the beach, of what else to do. Thanks in advance! Lincoln City or Newport?
The La Quinta in South Beach (Newport) is pretty affordable for suites. Their pool is open 24 hours a day too if you have a super-powerful baby monitor. palladium hotels and resorts Also within walking distance to Rogue and the Aquarium.
Not sure if i put this in my review or not (it%26#39;s been a couple years), but half the rooms view the parking lot and the other half view that little forest between the la quinta and the road. I couldn%26#39;t see the bay from my top floor room. The place next door (yaquina bay lodge?) definitely has a bay view--over the parking lot of rogue.
As far as i can tell, all of the rooms are nearly the same size, it%26#39;s just that some of them are layed out differently. So the ones that are ';suites'; have small bedrooms seperate from a small living room, whereas the other rooms are just one giant room with a bed in the corner.
';But here%26#39;s the important part: The smaller the room number, the closer you%26#39;ll be to highway 101, which is quite loud. Also, the even numbered rooms face the parking lot and the odd numbered rooms face a little forest. Based on those factors, the worst room in the place would be #102, and the best room would be #327.
As it turns out, we had a great time here. The pool is open 24 hours a day (again, that%26#39;s close to the smaller numbered rooms if you don%26#39;t like the smell of chlorine) and the breakfast included one of those waffle makers, which is always a nice surprise.
Okay, sorry for the multiple posts here. The Inn At Yaquina Bay hasn%26#39;t updated their website since 2007 so I gave them a call. Their weekday rate for April is $65 and their weekend rate is $85. La Quinta is $99 and $109. The Inn at Yaquina has slightly smaller rooms if I remember correctly but I think they also have balconies. Certainly a better view unless you specifically ask for one of the rooms that face the approach palladium hotels and resorts to the bridge. I have stumbled to that Inn many times after a long night at the Rogue.
