Elizabeth Street Inn

After a very lovely week in Oregon, it's back to the daily grind. (Although I did actually miss this warm Houston weather..I know, I'm a glutton for punishment!). It had never occurred to me to vacation in Oregon, but an unexpected conference landed us there, and now I can't wait to revisit. Over the next week I'll share some of my favorite finds, so you can enjoy them too!

I'm not usually one to review hotels, but I was especially impressed with the cozy little Elizabeth Street Inn on the Oregon coast. It had a complimentary hot breakfast in the morning (we are talking bacon, eggs, sausage and biscuits people!), free high speed internet, and every luxurious room has a fireplace and faces the waterfront. Seriously, every room overlooks the Pacific - not a bad seat in the house! Now the clincher: 8 p.m. every night is fresh baked cookies, coffee and tea in the lobby time. Best hotel ever. It was a dream come true.

Here was the view from our hotel balcony.
