The Ester Lee has a beautiful oceanfront view. The cottage was comfortable and we enjoyed the view from the bed. It's an older motel so the bed was a bit uncomfortable.

The Ester Lee was perfect for my gateway. The view of the ocean was a must for me and the Ester Lee checked all the boxes for that. I rented a cottage and the space was amazing for my teen kid and I. Beach access too!

The rooms are old. But we knew that coming in. We have stayed here before. The views are spectacular from any room and you are right in the middle of everything to do in Lincoln City. The bed was comfortable and the shower/hot water worked. We really needed just a place to sleep, so it worked for us. FYI: No AC. So that might be a problem in the summer.

Comfortable beds, ocean view, we slept well. The fixtures are well used in this older facility, but the staff were professional and friendly, and access to the beach right down the hill.

It was very clean. The weekday price was reasonable. The view is spectacular. You have to walk a bit to get to the actual beach.

We had a minor problem when we first checked into our room and Ben, one of the manager’s went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best…I give him a 20. We love, love, love this property. Dave, Deb, our fur babies Sophie and Ruby

We love to stay at the Ester Lee. Great value: The rooms are like little cottages with a kitchen & dining table. There is a sofa in front of the full width picture window looking on the beach & ocean. We saw whales and sea lions. Downside for 70 people was the room was the farthest away from the dog area and at the top of a steep flight of stairs. We have always enjoyed walking down to the beach from the Ester Lee, but no more. When we inquired at the office, we were told beach access was no longer available and we had to drive to the public access near Moe's restaurant.

Beautiful beachside room. No coffee—just the “coffee teabags” in room. Construction going on that has beach access closed, afirmaste route to beach makes for a fun, challenging morning run but would rate moderately difficult—not for everyone.
