The Ester Lee was a fantastic stop on our trip. The free wood for the fireplace, alternate room when ours became unavailable (upgraded!), dog riendly and great staff made our visit to Lincoln City memorable. Don't orget to stop at the Otis Cafe for breakfast on your way back towards Portland! More

This is an adorable retro style old school hotel; views can't be beat; very cool about pets in the cottages and comfortable. Great deal for the price. More

First off let me say. that you simply can't beat the views from the Ester Lee. The large windows provide excellent views, either from the cottages or the motel rooms. We have stayed in both the cottages and the motel over the past 10 years and have always enjoyed our visits. The motel is like the cottages in they both... More

This place is great. Clean and well equipped. Having a kitchen in the room saves money. The best part is the beautiful ocean view form the extra large windows. More

We've stayed at the Ester Lee twice now and plan to come back as often as we can. We love the little seaside cottages with art-deco bathroom fixtures, the fireplaces, the friendly staff, and the price. Everything is a little old and funky - but charming - and very clean. The little kitchens are well-equipped and there is even a... More

In spite of the poor quality of towels and linens, and the funkiness of this out-of-date place, we love the location, and even better, the price. And it is always clean. BUT, we spent two nights here this past week during an extremely severe storm, up to 110 mph, with every road out of Lincoln City blocked by downed trees... More

We've been visiting the Ester Lee for at least 15 years. We love the location, the people, the prices. We have a favorite cottage, and everything we need is right there. We've enjoyed experiencing the various improvements as they've been made. Any little thing goes wrong, & someone is right on it. The people are all exceptional. We always look... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Ester Lee for 10+ years now. We always plan on going to some luxury hotel (the #1 pick on Trip Advisor for Lincoln City is always tempting!) but wind up not wanting to break the bank just to go to the coast for the weekend. We are quantity over quality when it... More

Love staying at the Ester Lee! The staff is friendly and helpful above and beyond. We stayed on a busy holiday when they were completely full and they still made an extra trip to bring us towels when we requested, stopped to greet our dog, and when we called for shuttle info they even called the casino shuttle for us...
