The hotel is nice but there is one about a block away that is half the cost. Next trip.
Great location, a five minute walk to the beach and the center of town. Seaside was, from its inception, a tourist trap but they do it well. A lot of cheap crap for sale but some nice stuff too.
When driving through Astoria, I saw a lot of references to the Steven Spielberg film - The Goonies. I knew that it had been filmed in Astoria but it turns out that this weekend is the 30th anniversary of its screen release and the whole town is filled with Goonie-wannabes. Planning to go Saturday night to see what is up.
There is a very detailed fan website.
More on this weekend here: The Goondocks
Lots of vehicles with funny antennas and call signs so I think I have found my tribe. (One of them anyway).
