"Excellent, clean, no frills vintage-themed motel at a great price within walking distance to everything. The covered parking is a plus. The owners are lovely and went out of their way to answer our questions and give us all the info on the best spots in Brookings. Since we had driven five hours we loved that we could walk to bars, grocery stores and eateries from the motel. The margaritas at Pancho's next door are a must and we loved Khun Thai for spicy beef noodle soup and a lovely mild coconut curry rice dish. Honeybee bakery (across the street) has amazing donuts and sweets. A couple blocks past the grocery store is Chetco Brewing-- another fun spot with live music. Wicked Pig is a small bites bar that is open the latest. We saw a stunning sunset at Harris Beach less than a mile away. We drove there but will bike next time. If you are looking for big box, Marriott-style experience, this isn't it. This motel is family-run by folks who care about your experience and their community. 10/10 recommend! "
"We liked it so much we changed our plans and came back a 2nd night. Our first night was at the end of the property near the bridge. Lovely room, not perfect but great value for the price. We watched seals and otters playing from our balcony. Was very quiet even with the close proximity to the highway. The 2nd night we opted for two double beds instead of two queen like the first night. We were slightly disappointed as the room was much smaller and not as close to the water. Definitely spend the extra ten dollars and get the queen room!! Worth it for the view if nothing else!
All the staff was friendly and helpful. "
"I spent a night here with my dog and it was the perfect layover on my road trip. You can park right in front of your room, bed was comfy and there was plenty of places to walk my dog. The light show was fun and loved seeing Elvis afterwards."
