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.

The ocean views are great! The staff was very friendly. The facilities were clean. They are very accommodating to dogs here. The main thing we didn't like was the uneven walking surfaces throughout the property. Given our current mobility situation, it made it a bit difficult.

I don't know why this place has such high rating. Yes some rooms have front row ocean view but know that is it when you're booking. The room we stayed at was super outdated and we could tell that the ownership doesn't care about updating this place. It's like travelling back in time in a bad way. The bathroom was tiny with no space to change. Floor was squeaky with smelly carpet. The staff however seemed friendly. The did try calling us to inform we left some item behind which was nice of them. The location was convenient to get to Depoe Bay. Know that you're paying for the view and nothing else. The online photos of the room are vert misleading.
