We paid for a one room with kitchenette and they said they didnt have such a room. They but us in a single room without a kitchenette then they changed us to a single room with kitchenette not one that we booked. They said your information is incorrect and have never had a one bedroom with kitchenette. Very disappointed. Paid too much for the room we received

The rooms were clean and the staff were exceptionally helpful. Only complaint - there was not much water pressure and the water was not that hot. For the wonderful view and other comforts, it was well worth the stay. Will come back to the Ester Lee Oceanview Inn.

The Ester Lee is a neat historic motel in Lincoln City. The views of the Ocean are awesome! The room was updated for the age of the motel. A few of the furnishings were a bit worn and the bathroom could use a remodel and it had no fan. Overall we enjoyed our stay. My biggest complaint is that I paid for a 2 bedroom Cottage Deluxe w/Kit, Ocean Pet Friendly that slept 5 with 2 queens and a twin and when I checked in this is not the room I was given. I told the front desk staff that I got the wrong room and she said they are changing the twin beds over to sleeper sofas and that they put me in the correct room. This is false advertising or a case of bait and switch as a sleeper sofa is not the same as a 3rd bed. I feel like I overpaid for the room I got so be aware if booking this room!
