Do not stay in basement cottage 121. The stairway is littered & filthy, the handrail too low, and the rainwater/sand pools up by the door with nowhere to drain. I had to sweep it all out myself. Good thing it wasn't raining. It's like the room where they would send their least favorite stepchild. Very uncomfortable furniture, seats only three. No coffee table or reading lamps, room layout very awkward. I'm a short person, and the beds were way too high. Not enough blankets or pillows, brrr. The only way to heat the apartment was the electric fireplace in the living room, so we had to leave the bedroom door open.. Glad I brought a little space heater for the bathroom. Not enough utensils or plates. No way to step out onto the patio. I'm sure the other cabins were better than this one (each one is a little different). I really did appreciate the free wifi, and how accommodating they are for dogs with a nice grassy dog potty area that includes a doggie bag dispenser & trash can inside the little rain shelter, and extra linens for them to sit on inside the room. The maids do an excellent job of cleaning, and the desk clerk was really nice. The motel is at the top of a cliff, but there is access to the beach a couple blocks downhill. Be prepared for a steep walk back up the road. Be aware of the tide tables, because high tide can sometimes come all the way up to the stairs. Don't get trapped down there! I miss the old retro Ester mannequin in the lobby.

Parking was good. Fireplace is electric. Note there is no sofa, bath tub or hair dryer. The beds are very high. I awoke several times the first night to my dog crying because he couldn't get on the bed. I moved an arm chair to the bed on night 2.Very noisy as close to 101.

The Ester Lee Oceanview Inn provides a comfortable and rustic home base to return to after a day out exploring the coast. The windows from the rooms allow for a gorgeous view of the ocean, with ample space in the rooms for a longer stay. A kitchenette equiped with a cast iron skillet, and a fireplace to enjoy while watching the sun set below the Pacific. Running a shower at the same time as your neighbor will result in a very cold shower, which is great to get the day started. I was able to enjoy a few baths without trouble during my stay. Peace and privacy were both present throughout my vacation, and provided me with pleasant experience overall. I would highly recommended the Ester Lee Oceanview Inn to anyone.

It would be nice to have breakfast with the motels. There’s no instructions on how to turn the gas heater on. The seals on the windows is not good enough and you can still hear the wave crashing and it makes hard to fall sleep. Over all ok

The room is not clean, stain in the floors and then they lie and charge for what was there before, urine and stains from other dogs. Not enough utensils and you can hear everything from above or under. Very rude front desk and manager. Besides the view all is old and run down, not worth the money.
