I read the reviews and they are accurate. This is NOT the Ritz and we weren't expecting anything like it. We wanted a great view, got it; wanted to have a working fireplace, got it; wanted a clean room, got it. The worn out furniture was expected. Got a recommendation for a restaurant, Pier 101. Not great but we weren't... more

My husband and I first stayed at the Ester Lee in 2004 or '05. We were very impressed with the staff, the stunning view, how cozy the room (a cottage) was and the price! That first trip was just us and the dog, but we've gone back several more times both with our children and without. The staff are so... more

The views from this place are incredible, nearly perfect. The windows are huge and you can just gaze out at the ocean. You can walk to the beach down a steep path. Unfortunately, the rooms have not been updated since the 1970s. The carpet was worn down in high traffic areas, the walls had wood paneling, the bed had a... more

The Ester Lee Motel is a great place to stay depending on what type of place you are looking for. I just stayed here with my wife on our first night in Oregon. The location is awesome as it is right on the beach. All the rooms have a view of the ocean and the cottage we stayed in had... more

The Ester Lee Motel makes me feel like my dog is part of there family...I've been staying here for years and it's the best place for all the right reasons..The cabins are clean and dog friendly and the housekeeping staff is always hospitable and will vacuum daily if asked...and if that isn't enough there is always the view...ocean front...and the... more

We stayed 2 nights mid-week and found the Ester Lee to be great. It was fully booked, being the week before Labor Day Weekend, but it had a good sense of privacy the way the motel and cottages are layed out. We had a 2-BDRM Cottage high above the beach with a wide view of the beach and sunsets. Our... more

My husband and I stayed here for one night in August as part of a road trip to Vancouver. We both wish we had spent more time here. Our room was exceptionally clean and had a terrific view of the ocean. The staff on reception were very helpful in recommending restauraunts and local points of interest. Lincoln City is a... more

We have stayed at the Ester Lee on several occasions and have always been happy with both the rooms and the staff. They don't have a spa or pool, however I come to the coast for the view and they have the best one in town! They have easy access to the beach. They also have a lending library with... more

The cottages at this motel on the Oregon coast are a great value. The view is excellent, an a bluff above the beach. We saw Whales spouting out in the ocean. We had a fire on the beach and roasted marshmallows. The next morning, we explored the rock pools at low tide. The beds were comfortable, the rooms clean and... more
