I'm writing this from room 2 at 4am. This is the worst hotel experience I've had in a long time. The room is dirty. The bathroom floor is sticky and slimy. There is a pubic hair on the rim of the bathtub (see pic), as well as several other hairs in the tub/shower. The walls are paper thin. There is a group in room 1, who have been making noise and suspiciously coughing all night long. I suspect they are crackheads or something. It's a Monday night (Tuesday morning actually) and I managed to sleep from 12:30-1:30a. I've been up since then listening to the conversation from next door, as well as them going in and out of the room all night. I now get to try to drive home on 1 hour of sleep. This place is shady, and unclean. Avoid. read more

Captain Cook Inn - Pubic hair (as well as other hairs) on the tub. Gross. - Hotels Near Me - Lincoln City, Oregon

It's an adorable 1940's built motor lodge! I was not expecting it to be so charming! The linens and towels smell amazing and best of all, the bathroom smelled like bleach in the freshly clean way! read more

Great little place! Love it! We stayed in room 17 this time, very peaceful!. I would like to give a shout out to the manager. Great guy!

Extremely clean room. Nice attention to detail, firm mattress. Owner was readily available. The best bang for the buck, by far!! Close to everything. read more

The reason for the 2 star rating is for CLEANLINESS. Our queen room with sofa was very dirty and a little shocking. Once I pulled the blinds open I saw the dirty table. Housekeeping never cleaned it because there were coffee cup rings and crumbs everywhere. Gross! But that's not all for the eyes to behold, the door had dirty, grimey, black grease prints all over around the door handle. YIKES! That sofa hasn't seen a cleaning if ever. The dust blanket build up behind the arms of that sofa was shocking! Also, hair strands on the floor of bathroom and shower. Why give you my money to stay in your room that I have to clean when I get in it. Which is what I did with the table and hair! read more

Gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and budget friendly. Beautiful green space out back. I can recommend the rooms in the back as they are away from the highway and very quiet. We will definitely stay here again. read more

Captain Cook Inn - Captain Cook Inn - Hotels Near Me - Lincoln City, Oregon

We have stayed here several times, and will keep coming back. The manager is super friendly and helpful if you want suggestions. The rooms are nice and clean. The beds are extra comfortable. Our dogs are family and the fact that we can bring them with us is amazing. You're right off the 101 so close to anything. The building itself is obviously older with its little quirks but they have done so many nice up grades and changes. Having a kitchenette was great when we wanted to cook. Theres a nice grass area begind the building for your pets or to sit at and enjoy. They really have everything you need for a great family trip. We love supporting a local business rather then big box. If your looking for a hilton or westin this is not for you but if you want an amazing, family friendly clean spot. This should be your go to every time your in Lincoln City. read more

Personable staff, charming room, and a wonderful area in the back complete with grass and trees. Also, a BBQ, tables, chairs. This is an older place but don't let that stop you from spending time here! The room was neat and clean, super comfy bed, and quiet. Will we stay here again? 100% YES! See you next year! read more

Absolutely the worst stay I have ever experienced loud parties most of the night. No sleep. Management did little to nothing. Yep they asked 1 time to quiet down. Did not work I asked for my money back so i could leave. he said no I can't rent it out because you are in there then he said I will not loose money. What about my money my sleep I need to be up at 6 for work. I came here thinking it would be a safe haven from the wind. I was wrong. I will not come back and I definitely will not refer this place to anyone. You got my money I got no sleep in turn I will loss a day of work as well. Small claims? No. Word of mouth maybe. 3 am going strong. I am so tired. read more

clean, great value, comfortable bed.

Well worth the stay for the night! Paid a little more than what the marquee advertised but I'm not going to complain. I was expecting a so-so mom & pop motel with outdated furniture. It was the exact opposite! The woman who checked me in was extremely pleasant. She said she was staying in the room next to the one I'd be booking and has two boys. Before I paid, she made sure it's be okay being in the room next to kids. (They were quiet so there are no complaints there!) The rooms were recently painted. It featured a 32" flat screen tv with cable, your typical mini fridge and microwave, desk, table, and new normal (not motel/high durability) carpet. What sold me and will make me come back any time I'm in town was the bed. It's super soft and the pillows... I had a hard time waking up in the morning I was so comfortable! Thank you for the stay! read more

This is our second stay here and we really want to keep it a secret. We love the location and how surprisingly quiet it is even though it is right on Hwy 101. Any food you could desire is literally across the street (or 2 to 10 minute walk). Clean, comfy bedding! Unique mix of modern and historic feel to the place (room). We were there on a Monday, relaxing in their 'backyard' watching nature, contemplating life, and reading. We came for 2, but stayed for 4 days. We've decided to make this my husband's destination for his birthday every year. read more

Very nice inn. Bed was super comfortable, clean, great amenities! Would for sure stay here again!!!

Friendly staff! We got the deluxe queen with extra room, sooo clean and super cute! We will come again. The price is right too which is a bonus! read more

We booked a room last minute based on the good reviews and I'm so happy we did! This is not your typical roadside motel- we've stayed all up and down the OR coast throughout our years in Portland and this is one of the most cozy and comfortable places we've stayed, at an unbeatable price. It felt like staying in a beloved family member's guest bedroom. The attention to comfortable details is remarkable, with better beds than some of the 4* hotels we've stayed at. I love the old fashioned architecture and furniture- its classic, NOT dated. They have comfortable arm chairs, a beautiful garden and the friendliest staff. The rooms are beyond clean and the location is safe and quiet at night, despite its proximity to the highway. You won't beat their pet fees at any accommodation in town- they're unique in not trying to fleece pet owners for an extra $50 a night. We will definitely be back any time we stay in Lincoln City. read more

Front desk staff did not wear a mask- inside and in a very small space. Even if you don't think they work and don't believe the coronavirus is real, it is a nice courtesy for others to respect their feelings of comfort and safety. Also, it is the law, whether you agree or not. Walls are paper thin and I could hear the entire conversation in the room next to me. read more

After traveling and spending several nights in Motel 6's, stumbling upon this Inn was greatly appreciated. They accept pets, have remodeled rooms, and were very friendly. Our room had a comfortable bed, soft sheets, a mini-fridge, and a microwave. It was tastefully decorated, provided a Bath & Body bag of toiletries, and had a nice, grassy area with gazebo and firepit. We didn't hear any traffic noise, and the location on 101 made it convenient for sightseeing and travel. We were very impressed! read more

They berated me three times over email when I reached out to tell them our plans changed around 8pm. I knew I'd have to pay for the room, but I thought maybe they could double book the room since we were heading back home instead. I was trying to be polite, but their ignorance and unprofessional behavior was abhorrent. I have never had such poor treatment. I really hope they don't treat others this way. Totally unacceptable. read more

I usually have a very strict rule against "strip" type motels. You know, the ones that are all the same level, usually in an "L" shape..and usually have "Ladies of the night" with their "Johns" paying by the hour. So, when we drove by the Captain Cook Inn, looking for a place to stay, my boyfriend jokingly asked "wanna stay there?" My reply: "Haha very...oh wait, those actually look nice!" We pulled in and got a price, which I later found out was $10 less than the quoted price on their website! Also, no pet fee! After paying, we go in our room and we're pleasantly surprised. The room looked as if it had very recently been redone, and was SUPER clean, which is a HUGE factor for me. Our bed was comfy, and we got some much needed rest that night! read more

I just got back from a little trip through Oregon. I ended up staying here on Friday night. I shouldn't talk negative about this place, only because of the fact that I did not actually pay for it myself. Regardless, here are some observations: -The room that we were given (No. 3) smelled like baby wipes. -Yelp says that they have free Wi-Fi. My cellular device did not pick up any kind of Wi-Fi signal at all (which sucked). -When I first entered the room, I immediately thought of cheap, dirty sex and shooting up heroin (don't ask where those thoughts come from...because I myself do not know). -Check out time is 11am. If you are not out of your room by 11am, someone will make sure you get the hell out of there by knocking on your door and yelling "housekeeping". They do not wait for a reply...they yell out their greeting and then quickly unlock and open the door of each room. The guy who was doing this accidentally disturbed the customers that were in the neighboring room by opening the door RIGHT AFTER making his presence known. I thought that was a little tacky. In the end, I can only give this place two stars, which translates out to...."MEH...I've experienced better". read more

I stayed here a couple of nights last week and was pleasantly surprised. I needed to be on a "low budget" level trip and needed to have my dogs with me. My exchanges with the manager both on the phone and in person were excellent! She is personable, funny and helpful. The room was VERY clean. I wasn't even grossed out by the bed dressings. I even felt guilty because I spilled something and had to use the sparkly white towel to wipe it up (I wrote a note...)! If I have another low budget trip coming soon I will definitely give them a call. PS-If you can't pick up their router on your computer they will let you move it to your room. MAN there are a lot of babies on this yelp thing. read more

1) Extremely large double queen bed room 2) Small kitchenette is handy and fully useful 3) Wi-fi is great 4) If you have dogs, this place is a must for you---it has a small park-like setting around back that is great for them and great for a person to just go out and chill 5) The only downside is the doggy smell :( It does smell like powdered carpet freshener and wet puppy :) 6) The maids could pay better attention to cleaning out the hair from the sink and bathtub---I'm bald and there were several LONG brunette follicles left from the last visitor. OTHERWISE, you cannot find a better price for all that you get. I highly recommend! read more

First off, this place is affordable and clean. The staff (owners?) were extremely friendly and helpful. The bathrooms didn't seem as outdated as other reviewers had mentioned. We weren't fond of the linen- it was rough and we ended up using our own for our two night stay. The WiFi wasn't blazing fast but we were able to stream Netflix just fine and we used our own hdmi cable to watch on the oversized flat screen tv. The walls are this but there were few guests there our first night and I think they are aware of this because all guests were spaced out so there was a vacant room between us. If I'm not staying at Salishan or camping and need accommodations I'll be back. read more

After two days of camping in heavy rain with a leaky tent, I was pretty desperate for a decent motel room where I could dry out, take a hot shower, have a good bed & regroup. This gave me all of that and more. My room (#12) had a large steam radiator (don't see those much anymore!) which kept the room toasty warm & had a flat top on which to dry out clothing. Steam heat = large boiler on site, and the bath & shower seemed to offer almost unlimited hot water. As many older motels only have small water heaters (or limited times of day when hot water's available), this was a godsend. The bed was good, the decor was nice, the room was clean. The managers, Todd & Tricia, were equally warm. They were genuinely friendly and exceptionally accommodating. I felt appreciated. I wanted to live there. Like any motel on Highway 101, there's going to be traffic noise... more so if you're close to the highway, less so if your room is further back. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars out of 5. And further, because this is a classic old 1940s vintage building (which runs to my taste), there are going to be little quirks. But it's been beautifully maintained. There were beautiful flowers in front, and the large yard in back (with picnic tables, lush grass, trees, etc.) was like a park - no traffic noise and a couple of browsing deer when I went down with morning coffee. This motel is a find, and I'll be back. Those who don't like quirkiness may be happier in a Motel 6. For those looking for comfort and memories at an affordable price, I can't recommend it enough. read more

This place is not clean, it appears to be but it's not. Last night there was a party that lasted until 4am. I asked the manager for a refund so I could find a quiet place to stay he replied with, I am not going to loss money. I can't rent it out now. So I paid for a room that was uninhabitable sleep wise. 4 am came around it quieted down but I had to be to work by 6:15am. So that did me no good. In around October of 2020 myself and my friend stayed to seek shelter from a storm. That room was so dirty, food crumbs and smirred something on the table. Floors not sweeped or moped. Urine on the toilet seat. It not only was disgusting but we were in the middle of covid. No I will never stay there again, no money back so, word of mouth goes a long way. People agree with me and the word is going around town. read more

This was the worst stay we've ever had anywhere. We've stayed with our kid before a couple years ago but service has slipped BIG TIME. We arrived Friday around 6:30pm to a barely stocked kitchen- no dish cloths/scrubbers, no cooking bowls or pots. Then we went to the bathroom where there was a huge wad of hair in the tub and half a roll of toilet paper. Then the toilet broke 5 times in the night. By morning we were ready to go. Todd the manager was a complete chauvinist and blamed us for not wanting to stay (it's the customers job to handle maintenance) saying it was rude. When we got the owner on the phone- Paul Poyfair he yelled at me saying "I'm not going to take any guff from you, our rooms are clean!" Meanwhile the cleaning staff snuck in to wash the tub and see if we left anything incriminating...We'd already taken photos though. They refused to apologize. As we left, Todd the manager held my husband back to pester him about whether I was just going wild or if the room was really bad....Go to the Best Western, if you want a $74 room that bad. Gross. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed at a much more expensive hotel in Newport the night before we decided last minute to stay here. It was about 45 dollars total for one night, so we weren't expecting much. This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The room dmelled clean, I could tell the floors were just vaccumed and the bed...Was amazingly comfy. Memory foam, and I sunk right in. The TV was a nice flatscreen TV, way better than the crappy one at our other hotel. Our room had a fridge and microwave as well and a nice sized bathroom. Also, woman at front desk was very friendly and let us rent a movie for free. Only doenside is it was semi loud in our room due to it being close to the road. read more

We stayed here this past weekend for our anniversary weekend and I must say, we were very pleased with our first visit. If I could use a couple words to describe this place it would be friendly, cozy and soft. The management were sweet, the room (I guess it had been recently renovated) was adorable and everything in the room was SOFT. The carpet, the towels, the bed... whoever did the renovation did a great job (No kidding, the towels were so soft I took a picture of the tag to buy some when we got home, lol). We were comfortable, slept well and enjoyed our stay. Considering how close it is to Hwy 101 I was a bit worried about noise and cleanliness...but the worry was unfounded, it was quiet in the back corner where we stayed and the room was sparkling clean. We will be coming back here for future visits. read more

We love this place!! Super comfortable big beds & nice big pillows. Our room always smells clean & fresh. Never had a problem with late check in (since we always seem to show up late). They are very accommodating super nice people & we always leave feeling happy & refreshed. I would recommend this place to anyone coming to the area. You won't be disappointed! read more

We have stayed here before and it's been good but just stayed last night in room 6, wow never again, stick to the carpet, smelled bad, filthy couch that's hard as a rock to sit on, we tried asking for a different room and the front desk lady said there were no others. Will her ever stay in that room again and pay that price w read more

I'm a retired motorcycle rider who has stayed in 20 different motels this year. Fortunately I spotted this great looking older motel as I rode into Lincoln City. What a find!!! For a reasonable price, you won't find a better place to stay on the Oregon coast. Food and drink within walking distance, very clean room and an extremely comfortable mattress. I'll be going out of my way to stay there again. read more

Lots of turn over in management has made this place undependable, might be clean and great but again, might not be. My first visit the staff person looked like a drug addict with sore all over bad smell and no teeth, my second visit nicer older couple, the third visit... well lets say not impressed but not the worst. read more

My husband and I are on a cross country road trip staying in moderately priced motels along the way. This motel was the best one we've stayed in. The room was clean, nicely furnished, with a really comfortable bed with nice linens. It seemed to have been very recently remodeled with new everything. The owners were friendly and helpful. We really wished we didn't have to leave this morning. I highly recommend this motel!!! read more

Cute & Clean. ..Very close to some cool bars & shopping. ...Real nice Beds here...only drawback from noise from hwy 101

This was a great, budget friendly place to stay in Lincoln City! The owner and his daughter were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the location was convenient. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because you can hear EVERYTHING! You can hear every car that drives down the road, every car or room door that closes, and even your neighbors TV and a lot of the time their voices. That being said, we got a room with a second bedroom where our son slept and he slept through the night every night so I wonder if it wasn't as loud back there. Anyway, aside from the noise, it was a great stay. I would stay there again if we were traveling with the same budget. read more

My mother-in-law brought my family here for my birthday weekend, and let me just say ...this place was surprisingly amazing! We checked in and we're told to drive down the side driveway to our room. To which we found the most peaceful hidden treasure. The room was beautiful and clean! And the staff was so kind. We will for sure be back!! read more

We loved our stay at this adorable motor inn! We found the management very kind and accommodating with a home spun and welcoming manner. The room was really cute and quite tidy. Our stay was peaceful and enjoyable and the room fairly priced. We'll definitely keep this in our Lincoln City travel plans! read more

I used to rave about this place, that is, until the new management took over. I really love the rooms, price and location, but the managers are very rude and not friendly what so ever. Its unfortunate, it almost ruins the whole character of the place. My husband and I have been going here for so long that we keep coming back, but honestly its just not the same feeling anymore. We will be searching for a new getaway location. :( read more
