Hotel Accommodations

by Stephanie
There are two Hotels near where we are getting married that are set up for a discounted rate.

1) Holiday Inn Express

204 West Marine Drive
Astoria, Oregon 97103
phone: 503-325-6222

This hotel is the closest to the wedding, however, they do not officially reserve any rooms. If you mention you are attending the Bosse/Farmer Wedding you will get a discount as long as they have rooms available.

One thing to be aware of is that if you call the "central booking agency" instead of the hotel directly, they can not give you the "wedding" discount. However, you can use your AAA discount which will give you the same rate as the "wedding" discount. So it doesn't matter if you call the hotel directly or the central agency because you will end up with the same discount. They do it this way so that people can get the AAA discount even if they do not have a AAA membership. The central booking agency just doesn't have access to the list of "wedding" discount names. This caused someone some confusion when booking their hotel rooms so I thought I would clarify for everyone else.

2) Holiday Inn Express

34 North Holiday Drive
Seaside, Oregon 97138
503-717-8000-phone

We have 30 rooms blocked until May 15th 2009. There are 5 King rooms and 25 Double Queen rooms. If you mention you are with Block BOS you will get a discount on your room. These rooms in Seaside will be held for reservations exclusively for our wedding guests until May 15th, 2009 or until all 30 rooms are rented, whichever is first. There is also a 96 hour cancellation policy for these rooms


People may also reserve other hotels on their own if they wish.

Anywhere from Cannon Beach, Oregon to Astoria, Oregon is within reasonable driving distance from Warrenton.(Cannon Beach is 17 miles away and Astoria is about 5 miles away. Seaside is about 12 miles away.)

Cannon Beach is the most "touristy" town. They have a very cute downtown, with lots of little shops and art galleries. If you are planning to stay for more than a day or two this would probably be the city to stay in if you do not mind the drive up to the wedding. My grandparents and aunt live in Cannon Beach, and this is where I spent my summers growing up. Later I will write a post with some fun things to do in Cannon Beach for those of you who are able to spend a couple of days up in Oregon.

Seaside is the "big" city out of the bunch. They have a Safeway, drug stores, more hotel options, etc. It is not as quaint as Cannon Beach but it is few miles closer to the wedding.

Astoria is the closest city. It is technically the largest of all three towns, but there is not a lot to do in Astoria. There is a small downtown area and you can walk up and down the shipping docks which is fun. There is also a really neat movie theater where you can get pizza and a beer while you watch your movie. I will find the name of it when I write a post about things to do on the coast.

Hope this helps!

And they lived happily ever after...
