Overall our stay was great, however the main thing that can be improved is that the queen bed is quite old and not the most comfortable to sleep on. Pillows also are way too soft which can cause some neck pain. We loved the wonderful unobstructed view of the Pacific ocean from our living room. I did not like the constant noise from upstairs neighbours non stop stomping even late at night. The kitchen was well equipped with basic utensils and cookware to prepare meals. Staff are super friendly and the check in/check out process was super easy and simple. I would definitely stay at Ester Lee motel again.

The staff were very attentive. The view spectacular. The room clean. The kitchen area looked like something from the 1950s. The fridge looked like it had been through a fire. The biggest issue was the bed. The right side of the bed was wet. It didn't smell like urine and I hope it wasn't. I didn't notice it until being asleep an hour. When i notified the office in the morning, they were very kind and prompt to exchange a mattress.

Cozy, warm and with a spectacular view!

The location of the hotel is simply perfect, the views from the rooms are spectacular. I’ve been staying for years here and the front desk staff is very nice, they love pets and it is close to everything. It is not a fancy place but it feels warm and the views of the ocean from the rooms are amazing.

Older motel but newly remodeled and was what we were looking for. Great large corner window and two other large adjoining windows to see the ocean which was about 100’ below us that made it feel we were right on top of it. Fully stocked kitchen along with the nice size living room furnished with a couch, 2 smaller chairs and a small kitchenette table with two chairs. Parking was excellent having being about 20 feet to the room, all parking was that way. Great experience and will go back.

Be very careful about this place. They are ocall out for the money. I booked it last month and then found out there was a tsunami warning. I never entered the hotel room and asked them not to charge me because we didn’t feel safe. They refused but instead said there was nothing to worry about and that they could not do this because they would lose money. We never set foot in the hotel. Unfair.

The good-cleanliness, TV modern and with lots of programming and the million dollar views from all the windows The not so good-1 of the 4 burners on stove don’t work as well as broiler don’t work. Only 3 forks, 3 butter knives but 20 spoons. Cooking pots too small to do anything in. No aluminum foil, paper towels or water glasses. The lighting was mostly bright white ceilings fixtures. Lamp over bed had no wall receptacle to make it work. It did not seem worth the cost.

Overall, nice view and good bed. Clean/sterile but really strong bleach smell that mostly covered musty/old smell of dated carpet. The room we chose by picture was not what we received. I was told that was a "representative" or model room. That was my biggest disappointment so just be aware of that.

Tired old hotel and our reception was tired as well. Threadbare carpets, no sheets or blankets for the pull out couch which is where the ocean view is. Bedroom was on the main road. We were really hoping this would be a gem but more like an old faded doily.
