This was the second time visiting the Ester Lee. The view was exceptional, and we enjoyed the large room with a full kitchen and fireplace. Very relaxing! The staff is very helpful, also. More

We have been going here for several years and we recommend Cabin #2. It is very private, very quiet and has a view of the beach and ocean that is second to none. Perfect place for a couple and even a couple animals if you are so inclined. Close to the beach and parks for lots of good walking. You... More

We have been visiting the Ester lee yearly for the last 8 yrs and we love the rooms and the staff there. They are very personable, and always call and check in before we get there and invite us to bring our dog Queen with us. The rooms are always very clean, and the views are amazing. We recomend the...

We were traveling with our dog, so were grateful to locate the pet-friendly Ester Lee. We were shown several rooms, all with views, but one (cottage 1?) had a strong odor of animal urine. We told the receptionists about the smell, and they identified that it was a problem that would be corrected. They offered us a different cottage with... More

The Ester Lee was a fantastic stop on our trip. The free wood for the fireplace, alternate room when ours became unavailable (upgraded!), dog riendly and great staff made our visit to Lincoln City memorable. Don't orget to stop at the Otis Cafe for breakfast on your way back towards Portland! More

This is an adorable retro style old school hotel; views can't be beat; very cool about pets in the cottages and comfortable. Great deal for the price. More

First off let me say. that you simply can't beat the views from the Ester Lee. The large windows provide excellent views, either from the cottages or the motel rooms. We have stayed in both the cottages and the motel over the past 10 years and have always enjoyed our visits. The motel is like the cottages in they both... More

This place is great. Clean and well equipped. Having a kitchen in the room saves money. The best part is the beautiful ocean view form the extra large windows. More

We've stayed at the Ester Lee twice now and plan to come back as often as we can. We love the little seaside cottages with art-deco bathroom fixtures, the fireplaces, the friendly staff, and the price. Everything is a little old and funky - but charming - and very clean. The little kitchens are well-equipped and there is even a... More

In spite of the poor quality of towels and linens, and the funkiness of this out-of-date place, we love the location, and even better, the price. And it is always clean. BUT, we spent two nights here this past week during an extremely severe storm, up to 110 mph, with every road out of Lincoln City blocked by downed trees... More
