The Ester Lee is a neat historic motel in Lincoln City. The views of the Ocean are awesome! The room was updated for the age of the motel. A few of the furnishings were a bit worn and the bathroom could use a remodel and it had no fan. Overall we enjoyed our stay. My biggest complaint is that I paid for a 2 bedroom Cottage Deluxe w/Kit, Ocean Pet Friendly that slept 5 with 2 queens and a twin and when I checked in this is not the room I was given. I told the front desk staff that I got the wrong room and she said they are changing the twin beds over to sleeper sofas and that they put me in the correct room. This is false advertising or a case of bait and switch as a sleeper sofa is not the same as a 3rd bed. I feel like I overpaid for the room I got so be aware if booking this room!

Have stayed previous to this stay in one of the 2 bedroom cottages. This time we were in the 2 level section and it was great until we went to bed. Neighbors above us were up at 5am stomping around. Assuming it was water pipes

Kind staff, clean room and beautiful view. The only complaint is that one of the blinds were broken in our room so we could not enjoy the full ocean view. Also there is no coffee in the lobby as mentioned. Wonderful comfortable stay overall.

Great stay! Only thing was that the heat was on when we arrived and the temperature was 93 degrees. Don’t know why but the maintenance guy stopped by and was very apologetic about leaving the heat on. It did take most of the evening to get the heat out of the place. I will book another stay in the future.

The staff was great, the view was amazing but Booking. Com deceived me with the pictures of my room which was not what I got. I won’t book there though them again because of this I will only go through the hotel. Again it’s not the hotels fault it’s the booking agency
