Honeymooned here with our two small dogs. We were impressed with how clean the rooms were and the special amenities. The staff were very friendly and polite and always welcomed you with a smile. The continental breakfast was terrific and delivered to your door! The view from our balcony was spectacular. It was obvious they carefully thought out every detail,... More

Had a 5th floor room. Had a great view of the ocean. Staff very friendly. Wine social was a plus. Would recommend. More

The O'dysius may not be beach front, but the deluxe units (there was a winter special with a good price while we were there) have a decent view. The fifth floor view is even better although those units weren't included in the special. The view is basically over the top of the one story Kylos restaurant. The rooms are very... More

We stayed here on a whim, went down to Lincoln City for a Whitesnake concert at the casino. The hotel staff were friendly and very accommodating, the free wine tasting was a added bonus. They taste local wines, very nice. If you happen by Lincoln City try this hotel. More

I'm thinking all of the negative reviews may have been when the old owners were there. Since a few months ago, they have new owners. The hotel is filled with warmth and welcome! The happy hour is very generous (which not a lot of places offer!), the staff is friendly (not fakey!) and the price falls below what most places... More

We came to the O'dysius for special times and almost all my birthdays. We planned to stay for our 38th anniversary. We asked for their special and it took 3 days for the manager to say "No deal". Then they wanted to charge $75 to check in after 9 pm when I was coming back from a flight and it... More

Thank you for the feedback on how we have dealt with reservations and unusual circumstances.

We will appreciate the chance to improve and show we are professional... More

I have stayed off and on at this hotel for a decade or more, always on business, usually with my husband, sometimes with a colleague, typically 3 0r 4 times througout the year. I've stayed at Motel 6's (albeit many years ago) and this is nothing like that. Its more like an old grande dame and reminds me of many... More

THIS PLACE IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE ON THE WEB! If you are looking for a romantic & luxurious getaway, as we were, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE! It appears that the owners bought some run down Motel 6, gave the exterior a paint job, added some rock work, maybe spruced up the lobby a bit, had a... More

I'm saddened to hear of such a negative experience that you encountered with us! I'll be certain to share your customer service comments with our staff....and we'll "sharpen up" if we were anything less then our typical exceptional standard that is so highly acclaimed here in Tripadvisor! Obviously this was your first and last time with us so I wish... More

The hotel doesn't look like the pictures on their website. It is VERY dated. It is designed for older guests (I am 23). It was not what I expected, I was very disappointed; More

Comments are always appreciated, we thank you for yours. A few issues however to clarify... the pictures you see on our website, TravelAdvisor, other search engines and online travel agents are as is - no hampering, pampering, no photoshop... Taste, flavor and color, even style are very personal and in my opinion not relevant to age.... the proof? many of... More
