“OMG, run, run!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This was by far the strangest, scariest motel I've ever stayed at. Found it by accident, tired, driving down 101, and was met at the desk by what seemed like an extremely friendly, welcoming couple (the owners). It all went downhill from there... We started doing our little 2 loads of laundry at 8:30 - followed by 5 phone calls from the wife and several door visits by her as well, advising us we'd started too late to meet the 9:30p laundry deadline. She made us take half of our clothes out of the washer at one point (had to stomp/rinse in the bathtub and hang up to dry). She harangued us for 2 hours - there are no words. Then, to top off the visit, the husband walked right into the room while I was in it, no knock, the following morning (while my husband was at the laundromat, since there was no WAY we were going to risk using their facilities again). Thank God I was dresseed. SCARY... like a bad bad movie. Strange people aside, there were NO electrical outlets - couldn't use a hairdryer, an electronic toothbrush, nothing. And the noise from HWY 101 was unrelenting. Bottom line, for your safety, DON'T GO. PERIOD.

“Run down dive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2010

people found this review helpful

I'd really like to give this motel a higher rating - the manager was really nice - but in all honesty this is a terrible motel. First of all it's over priced. You might not think so when you book but when you get there you'll realize you paid two star prices for a one star motel.

Starting with the laundry facilities which are outside, yes outside, the office. They weren't available for immediate use because the manager was using them. The outside of the motel is shabby and dirty and the room, while cleaner, was still fairly shabby. The other residents aren't much better - we got the impression you wouldn't have to look too far to score a hooker and some cheap drugs.

There are better motels within a few blocks of this one and they probably don't cost much more.

“Not worth the stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

I was working in Reesdport and needed a place to stay. The front desk help was not very nice. They said there was a continental breakfast with coffee, etc., but I never saw it. I would go to get coffee after 7 am and it was never made. The TV was too small for the room. You could hardly see it from the bed. Felt like you were living in an apartment with snoopy landlords than in a hotel with a little privacy. Will not stay there ever again. Many other affordable motels on the coast that would love your business!!

“Older motel, room not so nice”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2008

Spent two nights on a very old, saggy mattress, in a room that smelled of old smoke. The room was not dirty, but it was in great need of refurbishing.

To be fair, we booked at the last minute and this was the only room left, so I'm assuming it is also the worst room in the motel. On the plus side, the proprietors were very pleasant and friendly and the location is fine. I might stay again (there don't appear to be many good choices in Reedsport) if I could get a better room.

Note that this is by no stretch a B&B (and doesn't claim to be); it is simply a motel, and is misclassified on this site.

“NIce for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2008

This is a typical no frills motel on the main drag of Reedsport.
There was a microwave and fridge in the room, convenient parking and a helpful desk clerk.
We were told we would have a nice continental breakfast but the tiny room that serves as a lobby had nothing in the morning.
The nearby beach and the Oregon Dunes are a must to visit.
If we stayed longer we may have booked with another motel but this one was good for the price.

Our extended continental breakfast is put out every morning by myself from 7:30-11am every morning. We don't open the office until 7:30 and if they came by at other hours besides that they would not get the breakfast. We offer 3 or 4 kinds of fruit juice, individually wrapped pastries 5-7 types, fruit 3 types and coffee and tea. We inform everybody of this at check in. Sorry if they missed out.
