Checking in was wonderful. Small hotel and clean. The noise from the truckers and highway was bad. Room was comfortable and I guess if you had earplugs you would be okay. Wi-Fi and parking were good. I couldn’t recommend this hotel just on the noise issue.
We were in town for just one night but definitely chose the right hotel. The owners were so nice and accommodating. The room was spotless and very nicely decorated. We even got to meet the owners adorable puppies. If you are looking for a nice affordable hotel that's family run this is the place for you. And they have beautiful artwork displays that are even for sale. If we stay in bandon again we will definitely return to LA Kris inn.
There were an equal number of positives and negatives for this budget priced motel. POSITIVE: Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I arrived at noon and needed to change into my golf clothes ; Sherry was able to check me in to a slightly smaller room, which still fit my needs. Location is very convenient to shopping, dining, and the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. My room was clean, and had a very good mini fridge (unusual for most motels!). Room rate was very reasonable. NEGATIVE: Very noisy environment; electric baseboard heater sounded like a turbine engine; supermarket across the street had delivery trucks backing up to the loading dock starting around 2 A.M., all emitting loud beeping alarms. Mattress was old and broken down (but pillows were nice!). On balance, (and after buying earplugs), La Kris Inn provided reasonable accommodations for the price.
We spent 1 night in Tiny Tim on July 24. We were actually in Bandon for 2 nights but had an issue getting a 2nd night at the other Bandon hotel we booked in. Our 1 night in Tiny Tim was $80.63 - a really good value. Check in was after 4 pm. The room was small but it was clean and had a mini fridge and a microwave. The bed was small as well - full size. This room is right next to the office (Room 1). We did notice some ants in the bathroom. Otherwise, I would rate our stay 4 stars instead of 3. Parking is right outside the room so super convenient. For a short stay, it did the trick. We needed ice and they don't have an ice machine on the property. There is a grocery store - McKay's across the street where we got ice. Also, if you are in Bandon, check the schedule for Circles in the Sand. It was one of the best thing we did during our Oregon Coast trip. Also, I thought the sea stacks in the Face Rock Viewpoint was the best we saw and we enjoyed it more than Yachats or Cannon Beach. And, make sure you stop by Face Rock Creamery for ice cream. And book your reservations at Edgewater for a meal. I have separate reviews for those. We had such a good time in Bandon. So if you are looking for a clean no frills place to stay in Bandon for a good price, definitely consider La Kris Inn!
Comfortable, easy to find, yes, it is tiny, but laid out for comfort anyhow. For a couple, it's great. If you're on the cheap, try the "tiny room", I'm told, as well. It is close to the road, but we had no trouble sleeping like a a couple of rocks.
