December 19, 2025adrianamariewPoor Staff Conduct and Management Response
We were really disappointed with how this hotel handled a power outage during our stay on 12/18/2025. A town-wide outage began around 3:00 PM. While we understand that this was outside the hotel’s control, the lack of communication and guest care was unacceptable. We honestly loved the hotel room and I booked a second night because I loved it. Unfortunately, no staff checked on us or provided updates until we went to the office ourselves. I was repeatedly told the power would be back “within an hour,” which led us to wait for several hours in a pitch-black, very cold room. When I checked again, a staff member came to our room, started a fire, and gave us a lantern, warning the fire might go out due to wind—which it did. He again told us the power would be restored within an hour, then changed it to “an hour or two.” I left to find food and returned to find the power still out. By that time, the office had closed even though guests were still on the property, which felt especially inappropriate during an emergency situation. By around 10:00 PM, with no power and no real assistance, most nearby hotels were no longer accepting reservations. I was forced to book a hotel in another town and didn’t arrive until nearly 11:00 PM. That evening, I called to ask about a refund for the unused night, making it clear that I enjoyed the stay up to that point and understood the outage wasn’t their fault. The staff member became defensive, claimed I “sounded frustrated,” and dismissed and possibility of a refund. The next day I spoke to the manager and she was very dismissive and accused me of lying about the repeated assurances I was given about the power coming back on. This review isn’t about the outage itself—it’s about poor communication, misleading information, lack of guest support, and unprofessional behavior. Had I been given honest information, we could have made other arrangements sooner and avoided a very stressful night. Unfortunately, we would not stay here again based on this experience.

November 25, 2025Bridget MBeachfront & Wonderful price in Lincoln City
This hotel was a pleasant surprise on our road trip. The location is great for this price range. Right on the beach with stairs to the sand. We stayed on the 3rd floor (least expensive), room 309, and we had a great view of the coast. All rooms have a beach view! There was a small deck; just wide enough to stand on, however it was nice to open the slider and hear the waves, smell the ocean. There are few chairs down on the bottom deck with firepits, all facing the beach. Wonderful place to sit & read a book and relax. The room was updated and comfortable. Wood floors, modern design, soothing colors. There was a fridge and small microwave & coffee. The bathroom was modern & clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a light breakfast offered; oatmeal packets, coffee, pastries. Be aware of a couple of things: (1) no elevators. They note this when making a reservation too. (2) large trucks & SUVs may have a struggle to park. We drive a bigger SUV and didn't have any issues however we did see some backing/turning quite a bit. We would definitely stay again next time we are in the area.

Great
I had a room on the lower level. The beach is about a 100 yards from my deck. I will be going back again. Very nice rooms and the view is beautiful.

September 6, 2025JoleneL331Will not go back.
Spent 3 nights. I will start with the positives. 1. Room very clean on check in. 2. Bidet a nice surprise. Now the negatives. 1. Tiny balconies on the 2nd and 3rd floor with no place to sit. 2. Bed was not firm. 3. No room service. I did not know that the card has to be put out before 12 noon. So the second day we had to ask for towels. The next day we put the card out for room service then took a drive up the coast. We left at 9:00 am and returned at 3:30pm. When we got to our room the card was on the ground by the door. We entered the room we had no room service. I took the card to the front desk and the manager told me the wind blows them off the door. Because of this our room was not cleaned. She sent a message to housekeeping to service our room. This did not happen and 3 hours later my husband had to go down to the office to get towels. On check out we talked to the manager and got a bunch of excuses.

Nice hotel overlooking the beach!
Is the hotel perfect, no, but for the price range and location it is great. It is right over the beach with stairs to access it. The rooms all face the beach. The bed was firm and comfortable. There is a fridge and microwave (microwave is small and not super powerful so plan a few extra seconds on anything you heat). The bathroom was modern. Even had a bidet. The back patio, overlooking the beach, has a few chairs and loungers, and 2 firepits. They have a tiny breakfast set up, oatmeal packets and pastries. But, it doesn't open til 0800 so no need to rush. The staff were friendly and helpful. If you don't want to do the stairs to the beach there is a ramp or stairs located about 2 blocks north. The parking is tight so no big trucks, RVs or trailers. I would absolutely stay again if I'm back in town. Is it a 5 star hotel, no. But, for the location and price it is well worth it.
