Everything was decent except the shower, the pressure was horrible the shower head was way too big for the shower causing very low pressure would have been a way better shower with a smaller shower head. Other than that it was okay.

We had 7 people in our party reserving 4 rooms for one night. The check in was as quick as it could be with having to go through the process 4 times. The rooms were clean but bare minimums. The hotel was within walking distance of Taco Bell and McDonalds as well as Walgreens although most of the walk was along the main road with no side walks (a small path in the grass). The kids (all in their 30's) did enjoy an early walk down to the beach.

The biggest issue we had with the rooms was that there was no air conditioning. To cool the rooms down, we had to either prop the door open or have the window open. The hotel is right along the main road and was often loud. This made for a rough night of sleeping for some in the group.

The price was right but given what I know now, I do not believe we would ever stay there again.

Location was the best quality. The yard was unkempt with grass that needs mowing and with an obvious mole problem. The shower needed a thorough cleaning and there was hair everywhere. The bedspread had stains and looked like it had not been laundered. The worst thing was the code for my room key pad was read out loud in front of other patrons. When I returned to my room it was unlocked. I locked it and checked it before leaving.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is tight and not much room to maneuver. Room was adequate but I wouldn't stay for more than a night in the future. There was one tiny table with two small stools and one tiny bed stand. Coffee maker on the bathroom counter, I had to move it just to have a place to put my toiletries. The bed was comfortable enough for me. The roku tv is useless if you like watching any basic channels like cbs which was televising the NCAA basketball tournament or NBC which had opening day MLB on.

I booked off the overall rating rather than reading the comments, which was a mistake. The rooms are very, very small with a 2 person table. 1 person can’t sit at the table because it’s against the mini fridge. The bed is a metal frame with 1 mattress, if you want to call it that. It felt like a foam pad and my back ached all night. There really isn’t any place to it suitcases other than the floor. While the place sits above Hwy 101 it is still very noisy from the traffic. I would not stay here again.

Things were ok here through 1 stay and half of another, when wifi suddenly went out. I sucked it up a few hours, noting it once to staff and getting brushed off. When nothing changed, and falling behind on work, I reported it again -- and was met with literally shrieking, hysterical insane abuse. They also simply denied the outage, saying it was working, which was *obvious*ly false -- but they refused more than a dozen times, while shrieking, to even look at my laptop with me, so I could show them the disconnect. They had to be well aware of it -- and has no interest in admitting it let alone doing anything about it.

So, partly to verify that the problem was the wifi not my machine, and partly to get some work done -- and feeling physically unsafe from the insanely hostile behavior -- I went out (despite *also* feeling unsafe for my stuff in the room, while away), on my bike in wet weather, to 3 diverse public places, getting online normally in all. Returning to the motel and finding still no change, I reported the outage yet again, this time as verified, and got even more abuse.


I had no Net there for my last 21 hr there. I'm in work with my MasterCard to remove at least 1 of my 2-night stay -- for the abuse even more than the lack of a critical basic advertised service. Part of the abuse was their insistence they'd sue if I removed any charge. Well, from the card's stance, it's as likely to be the *whole* charge as 1 night. And I can't wait to meet their lawyers.

Looking for a great budget motel in Lincoln City, OR? This one is super clean, well equipped for what is needed, comfortable bed, elevated up off 101 for a nice peekaboo view of the ocean and less traffic noise than those at street level. We loved our stay. No A/C but that is rarely a problem at the beach. Just open the front window and the door and let the ocean breeze come right it. No coffee machines in room...but the office keeps a warm pot, and a great coffee vendor (Human Bean) is just across the street.

Nice, minimal but, needs some air

We stayed here as a last minute trip to the coast. Check in was easy, the staff was great. The room was clean but, small. It was a warm muggy day on the coast and the room doesn't have air conditioning or a fan. We opened the window during the day and into the evening but it didn't help much. While this does sit up on a hillside off 101, we didn't want to sleep with our window open and there wasn't a stick/rod to prevent someone from coming in. The bathroom window also was broken and didn't lock. We ended up leaving at 11pm.

The room was sparse but clean. They use a bottom sheet with a lightweight bedspread directly on top of it. They consider that the top sheet. That bedspread, when pulled up, reached about stomach height. There's a fluffy polyester blanket you can use for more warmth. I realize there are different ways of handling bedding, but it would have felt more sanitary to have an actual top sheet that I know has been washed in between each guest's stay.

Their bathroom towels are nice.

There is no air conditioning, but the screened window opens. We heard traffic all night long because the hotel is adjacent to Hwy 101.

Our timing for staying there was inconvenient because they had a host of issues with internet (including the TV) which someone worked on for hours. Even the touch code door lock would not work. The TV mostly worked starting about 7 pm, when a hotel staff person came to our room upon request. We understand that these things happen.

I believe the staff is highly motivated to help guests.

I'd rank this hotel as 3/5. It's clean and modest. I can't imagine how the ranking was 8.6 on Expedia.

Hi, This is a well maintained clean motel and is like the photos. The room is spacious, bed and pillows are comfortable and the shower has good hot water pressure. There is no tea kettle or coffee m/c in the room however you can get hot water at the office. There are heaters in both the room and bathroom which was needed as it did get cold at hight.The checkin was easy and the front desk person was very helpful and nice. Parking is right in front of each room. This motel is in front of the highway however the traffic noise was not loud at all. Would recommend ear plugs as the walls are not too thick. There is a drive thru coffee place right across the street, plenty of places to eat and a grocery store within a 1/4 mile.
