It is an older place. It was spotlessly clean but only one chair at the kitchen table. Two chairs in living area, no couch. Bathroom was extremely small and no service to room, no clean towels etc. It was a beautiful view

Showers are not good. Run cold most of the time. They should not be charging so much for these rooms if the showers are not operating! How do I get a refund please?

For the amount of money I paid I thought it would’ve been a little bit better. All of the cookware smelled like fish after being heated up, which intern made all of our food that we cooked taste like fish so that ruined all the food we made. The carpet was dirty. There were stains on the sheets, yellow and color. The place was not very clean.

An aged property with stunning, stunning views. We loved our stay at Ester Lee on a recent family road trip. Nicely sized room with space to spread out, the small kitchen was nice but the win was the view from the windows. Definitely an older property but it was clean and well cared for. My only complaint, if I had to mention, was the dirty windows/screen. With the ocean views being the highlight of the property it would have been nice if the windows and window screen were a bit clearer to see through. However, that's being very fussy and I assume cleaning windows by the ocean is its own special task lol. We slept peacefully, listening to the ocean waves each night. There is no direct beach access from the property but Lincoln City is easy to navigate and find your way to the beach in other areas.

Where to begin…. The place is old and unkept. I have stayed in older hotels that have been kept up well. However, this place is simply gross to say the least. We checked in and immediately after we got to our room, we noticed this moldy smell in the room. Opened the window to let some air in and noticed a bunch of rust and grime around the window frame. We were not able to see much either due to the dirty glass. Then, we noticed that the toilet water level was a bit high so we flushed… and it was clogged up. called the lobby, they sent their maintenance guy, who after using the plunger for a few minutes told us that it was slow but “it should work… toilets are slow here at the coast…” We noticed that the toilet was getting slower so went to the office and were told that the plumber was not available until the next day and they were fully booked… So, no option of changing rooms. Went to dinner, came back and the toilet was completely clogged up again. Tried to take a shower and the hot water shut off every 40 seconds to 1 minute. By then, it was 9pm, no staff in the office , so we decided to book a real hotel in the area… not a jail cell. I am waiting to find out if my refund will be approved… if these people don’t do the right thing, I am going to report them to the health department; I know that they don’t comply with several minimum regulations. …Found out later that my wife found a gross curly hair on our bed but she didn’t tell me anything in the moment…

The Esther Lee is a fine place to stay if you don’t need a lot of extras. The view is fantastic, the beach is perfect, but the room are just okay. They’re clean, but they really need updated. We’ve stayed here for years, but The suites need to be updated badly. The furniture needs a clean, the carpet has been the same for over ten years. And has rips, stains and just past its lifespan. It’s past time to replace it. The bed is comfortable, but it would be nice if they had rooms with a king size bed. The staff is very friendly and work hard.
