Ester Lee Motel - Lincoln City, Oregon

alpha91

Wir hatten im Ester Lee ein sehr großes Zimmer mit Küchenbereich und separatem Schlafraum, ideal für 3-4 Reisende. Die großen Fenster bieten eine herrliche Aussicht auf das Meer, in der Kitchenette kann man selbst kochen.||Die Einrichtung ist tw. etwas älter, aber es war alles sehr sauber.||Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.||Die Lage des Motels ist auch ideal für Einkäufe und Unternehmungen in Lincoln City (ein sehr schöner, gut sortierter Naturkostladen !!! und ein outlet center). Und natürlich für kurze und lange Strandspaziergänge.||Eines der Hotels mit dem besten Preis-Leitungsverhältnis auf unserer USA Reise.

DEFINITELY should have read the RECENT reviews. The room I stayed in looked nothing like the photos—it was worn down and felt neglected. It was COMICALLY different. The microwave on the refrigerator IS great fun to me, I took a photo of that for your enjoyment. Thankfully I was staying for just a night and got a bit of a laugh out of it. WiFi didn’t work at all, and when I reached out to the front desk (guy was miserable) about issues I had with the lights, they genuinely didn’t care at all. There’s no maintenance staff available after 5 PM, so you’re out of luck there. Everything else you see in the other reviews about the poor condition of the rooms is true. I have a bit of experience in the casino/hotel industry so I was pretty intrigued by this place and was wondering how something so poorly run could even function.

The ownership, Fusion Lodging, acquired this place in late 2023. Completely lines up with when the negative reviews came in. They've been rapidly buying up properties along the Oregon Coast, but the funding behind this growth seems QUITE a bit unusual. My guess is private equity, fusion may even be a shell company for the investors that may be wanting to hide their names. Obviously that’s pure speculation, but this company got access to a LOT of funding VERY quickly. Adobe itself was something like 18 million?! If you're considering staying here, l'd recommend digging into who owns it and how their operations are being financed-it's worth a look. The new owner’s background is also interesting and a bit unconventional as a path to be acquiring multi million dollar hotels every few months.

Antonio was so helpful! We were travelling with our dog, who is a bit reactive and gets nervous in new environments. Antonio made sure to help me find a room that was further away and quieter. My dog was so happy and had a great time! The view from our room was AMAZING! It was just a short 5 minute walk (or less) down to the beach, and the beach includes beautiful sandy shores as well as craggly rocks to explore. WE had an awesome time- we will be back!

We love the views and always enjoy staying here. We have been coming for about 25 years once or twice a year on average. The only complaint I had from this time is that the pillow I slept on had the body odor of the previous person that used it. It was quite strong. I am not sure how you lauder pillows, but this one definitely needed it.

Overall, great beach hotel. Fantastic view, electric fireplace in the room we had, comfy bed, full oven/stove which isn't common for Lincoln City beachfront hotels, and cozy atmosphere.
The only downsides were that there was a locked door in the room that went to a storage room the hotel uses, likely for firewood, and that felt a little intrusive. There was also obviously a former guest who stayed there with a dog that didn't get let out because the smell of dog urine was quite strong despite the open window and fan turned on when we arrived.

The view was fantastic! They let us brings our fur babies. That said, the room sucked big time!
The place smelled musty. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed ever, old and lumpy. The pictures were deceptive. There was no sofa, no where to lounge or even sit down comfortably. There were two small chairs, no footstool to put your feet on. Not very comfortable for a 6 foot tall person. The photos showed a sofa. The path to the beach was closed, they didn’t let us know when we made reservations, it was kind of the point of staying there.
Definitely don’t recommend and wouldn’t stay there again!

What a gem! The view from our room was incredible and the whole reason we chose Ester Lee. Check out my picture: that was the view we woke up to each day! So sad to leave. We stayed 2 nights; it was quiet, the room was clean, had a mini fridge, a microwave, a one-cup coffee machine, a fire place, comfy chairs, and we requested a fan & it was in our room when we arrived (thank you, Ester Lee staff!). We will for sure book a room at Ester Lee again next time we're on the Oregon Coast. Waking up to the sound of the Pacific Ocean--nothing like it. I hated to leave.
