From the outside the building looks kinda run-down. It could desperately use a new coat of paint and new carpet lining the halls. However once we got inside the rooms were clean and simply decorated. As a rule of thumb for me I always check the sheets and blankets to be sure they are clean and had been changed. They... more

We needed a mini-vacation as we had not been away for a couple of years. We wanted to kick back and relax with an ocean view and take our little dog, we also smoke (but are fine with smoking outside). Doing an internet search I found the Gorman Motel. I read all the reviews before making the initial call. I... more

We originally made our reservation with the Gorman Motel but as we arrived to check in, the motel said to drive to the sister motel Bandon Beach Motel, which is a block away. At first we were happy about this as the Gorman Motel looked run down and scary. We then found our reservation was for the Bandon Beach Motel... more

we been comming to bandon every year and always stayed at the gorman motel and always find this little gem a relaxing treat. we hope this beauty by the sea stays as is but unfortunately an infestation by californias has depleated this beautiful town more

We got an o.k. view, but the room was severely lacking in the basic things you would expect from a hotel. We had no working phone, no room clock, no coffee, no shampoo. The lady who rented to us knew we had a dog beforehand but complained about dogs ruining her comforters on the beds. Well, the comforters were in... more

We stopped here on the way home from the sasquatch festival in Washington and had a restful sleep by the sea. At around midnight we were driving along the main road and saw the "vacancy" sign. We were able to get an ocean view room for 80$. The motel owner owns three buildings, one of which is by the sea.... more

Unanimous!! This is a $1K view with a $35 flophouse room. And at $96 a night not worth the stay. Enjoy the great view, drive on and stay somewhere else. Sadly Bandon seems to have few places other than modest motels and the Gorman is a great site wasted. The room was as bad inside as the shabby exterior of... more

Leaving our husbands and kids behind for a 7 night/8 day 'Girlfriend road trip' throughout Oregon and one night in Crescent City. I chose this motel for myself and my New York friend after searching the internet for a place we could hear the ocean at night. The view was incredible therefore the price was in line with what we... more

On a weekend family trip up the coast, we pulled into Bandon with our small children hoping for a hotel with beach access and a pool. The Gorman Motel had both, but that was the extent of the positive experience. The motel is extremely run down, with towel bars hanging from one screw off the wall, no cover on the... more
