We had originally booked at the Lincoln Sands Oceanfront Resort, Ascend Collection which turned out to be a terrible, nasty, and loud hotel (nothing like the photos on this site) so we walked. Last minute, we booked the Ester Lee Motel which, to our surprise, had a dog-friendly room available for the same price. Our room was really an apartment. Yes, it is a blast from the past with 50's décor but everything was clean. Space was huge, with a lovely table in the kitchen overlooking the ocean. We played games borrowed from the front desk while watching Goonies (also borrowed from the front desk). It was so quite and felt like home. The front desk person was warm and welcoming, and we even got to cook breakfast in the morning. We normally stay at the Coho (which was sold out), but I will make the Ester Lee my go-to when my family is looking for an affordable, warm, quite, and roomy space.
