“It Was A Dark And Stormy Night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I wanted to give this place one star, because I don't want anyone else to find out about the Seagull. But it wouldn't be fair to the management, they need to have nice things, too.

I thought three stars would be a good score. The kitchen area is not a gourmet kitchen, just a place to make eggs in the morning and a steak for dinner. Best if you bring your utensils.

After reading all the bad reviews, I thought I had to even the score by giving an above average rating. This is the second time I've stayed at the Seagull, and I hope to be back again.

The best part of the Seagull is the view. A giant picture window of the surf. We went for the storms and this time were not disappointed. Nothing like opening the window to hear the waves crashing and have the salty air blowing. I don't think there is fresher air than a nice 50 MPH gust. After a while, close the windows and the sounds are a distant memory, but the view remains (they wash the windows daily if needed).

The rooms are large. The bed is a real king. The fake fireplace is enjoyable. Everything is clean, not completely sterile, but clean.

The bathroom is also clean. Some have complained about the showerhead height, I kind of liked it, my hair didn't get wet everytime I showered. Management told us they spent a bunch getting the water tempature not to fluctuate. It must have worked because I didn't notice it.

We heard no noise while we were there, except for the howling wind. There was a bonfire on the beach one night. It was about fifty feet below our window, so we heard nothing. We also didn't get an invite. ;(

The management is friendly and helpful, but not overly. We had our privacy. I hate when the innkeep wants to know everything, on this count I give them two thumps up.

So, to sum it up, when we want to go to the Seagull I would suggest to the public the hotel is horrible, better you sleep in your car. The rest of the time, if you're not looking for perfection, this is a nice place to escape to at a very reasonable price.

“Avoid the shower.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

The motel was average for one of it's age. It definately showed it's age but if you are used to staying in older motels it won't suprise you. The shower on the other hand...I am 5'7" and the shower head was chest high for me, the water fluctuated between too hot and cold, it would not maintain a constant temperature. We checked out early and went to another motel, then they charged us for the entire reservation. They have since refunded the overcharge after I called them twice. The beach access was okay if you don't mind people having bon fires right outside your window most of the night. Will not ever stay here again.

“We always love staying here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

This was our 3rd stay at the Seagull. There is always a place to park. Rooms are clean every time. Staff is always friendly. Nicely priced too! My family and I always choose to stay here when in Lincoln City for our annual beach trip. No breakfast is offered but that's fine with us. If your looking for a good, quiet place to sleep in Lincoln City this is the place. Right on the water and next door to the location to drive onto the beach.

“The view was amazing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2011

We had a ground floor room with sliding glass doors to the huge deck overlooking the ocean. The deck was for all guests but no one but the 2 rooms with the sliding glass doors used it. The view was amazing from the room and got even better from the deck which jets out over the bluff. The only negative thing that I can say is that the public beach access is right next to the hotel so you do get some of the loud music from the beach. The access is where you can get to the beach from your room because the hotel does not have it's own stairs to the beach. We had a wonderful stay I was a little skeptical because the rate was so low. We had a 3 nights stay for the price of one. It was a special that the hotel was running because of road construction nearby. A big bonus was that we could have our dog for only $15 for the entire stay. Office personnel were very friendly.

Room Tip: This is an older hotel.
