BEWARE: My family, including my rather long haired surfer son, were charged an extra $200 for "cleaning fees". The manager claimed they smelled pot and photographed a "bud" on the floor. The evidence picture they showed was so obviously of lichen it was laughable. I was there. There was no smell and no pot was brought into the room. Successfully fought the charges. Won't be staying there again!

View from the road

A very clean roadside motel and a pleasant place for a good night's sleep. The only drawback was that the bathroom was rather small. This is not a resort but a very comfortable motel for travelers.

Cigarette burn, pet towels and power wire way too close to the to the rooms

pretty mediocre all around, for some reason they charge 30$ more than places that are equal or better eg travelodge, etc.

been staying there for years I love this place. Closest spot to the beach with the nicest beds…read more Great restaurant across the street.

**Great location, disappointing stay**…read more I've stayed at the Beachfront Inn before, and its location is hard to beat. It sits right on the beach, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves is wonderful. Unfortunately, that was about the only thing I enjoyed this time. I decided to splurge on a suite, but I regretted it. For one of the more expensive rooms, it was in surprisingly poor condition: dinged furniture, rusty air vents, a gouged floor, ripped carpet, stained curtains, and sliding glass doors that were so cloudy I had to open them to enjoy the view. The bathroom appeared to have been recently updated, but I found long strands of hair in it. The service was disappointing, too. At check-in, I was told matter-of-factly, "We don't clean rooms during your stay!" I was there for the better part of a week. If I wanted cleaning, I had to request it a day ahead; otherwise, I could go to the front desk for supplies. Having worked in hotels, I understand that housekeeping costs money. Still, after booking a suite, I didn't expect to have to go downstairs for fresh towels or toilet paper. One afternoon, a nap was interrupted by loud talking outside my room. When it continued, I looked out and found a housekeeper talking on speakerphone. Checkout summed up the stay. The only thing I was asked was whether I wanted a copy of my receipt. There was no question about my stay and not even a thank-you. I'd enjoyed this hotel before, which made this visit especially disappointing.

We also enjoyed the comfy adjustable bed with massage function, faux fireplace heater, refrigerator, and smart TV for when we wanted to stay in. John and Nancy were more than happy advise us on restaurants and local attractions though I had done exhaustive research on them already so we were good to go. We couldn't have asked for better hosts! Due to Covid we couldn't gather for breakfast but they were happy to leave fresh coffee, scones (sooooooo good!), and prepared eggs from their chickens. Seriously those scones were to die for! We had a wonderful time getting away to Mermaid's Muse and we can't wait to visit again!

I struggle to "yelp or not to yelp". And not for the reasons you may think. The selfish side of me…read moredoesn't want anyone to know about this sacred-decadent place. Because I want it to be available for just me. But I'm not a selfish person (for the most part). And I must share this life haven with those who seek a place, view and amenities that make the world as you know it - stop. We stayed in the captains quarters. And I can't imagine ever going "back". We had "happened" upon this while making a long weekend following a conference in Ashland. Hoping this glowing and deserving view earns us some consideration when the place is booked solid In the future and we make a habit of coming back again. You're welcome:)

The host was wonderful and has a great knowledge of the surrounding area if you're looking for tips and areas to visit. The room itself was a small cottage that sits next to the house with it's own parking, private entrance, porch area, kitchenette, and bathroom. It was very cozy comfy and perfect for us! The BNB is also very centrally located to nice beaches, hiking, and walking distance to great dining. Furnishing were older but charming and everything you need is provided. Only downside I experienced was the shower water running a little cold halfway through the second shower. We did not have the breakfast so I cannot comment on that. Overall, great place to stay!

I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "home away from home." Probably about a million times, I suspect…read more Now, if I were to tell you that spending a night or two at the South Coast Inn is like being "home away from home," do you think that you would believe me? Or simply roll your eyes and mock me for my being so trite? Well, I don't care if you react that way. Because you haven't been here, and so you couldn't actually know that this is exactly what the South Coast Inn feels like. It's familiar and fun, in a family-friendly, come make tea in the kitchen, sit down on the living room couch, watch the sunset on the front porch sort of way. Michael will greet you each morning in the kitchen, maybe his mother will tell you tales of life in Fresno, and Sheryl will have decorated the rooms to suit whatever holiday it happens to be. For us, it was Christmas, and the trees and displays were better than at home - bigger, more elaborate, and no fruitcake or spiked eggnog in sight (but maybe they were just hidden in the office). The staircase has that comforting wooden creak, the curtains are lacy and white, the beds are fluffy and warm, and the walls are hung with pictures that would not look out of place at your Aunt Lil's, if she lived on the coast of Southwestern Oregon, which I'll bet she does not. The food is fresh and flavorful, the neighborhood is quaint and quiet despite US-101 being so close, and the surrounding garden is filled with flowers and camelias and azaleas and lots more in-between. You can while away hours on the porch, read by the fire, meet new people at the table, or just sleep long and deep in a room filled with lighthouses. Try doing that at Aunt Lil's. A home away from home, bed and breakfast style. Get used to it!

Pillows range from flat to super fluffy, down, foam, heavy, light; made for an especially restful sleep. Room has heating/air (works great!), microwave, coffee maker (standard motel coffee packets), full dresser (6 large drawers), writing desk, circular table for 2 by the window. Bathroom is small, but has a couple of shelves for bathroom stuff, hair dryer and a very clean tub/shower combo. Bathroom doesn't have a fan, but it has a small window in the shower area for ventilation. A very spacious room, super comfy king bed, clean and well maintained. Bonus: I never heard our neighbors so the insulation must be pretty good. I would definitely stay here again based on price and location *thumbs up* We booked through Expedia with a company discount code for the best rate. Booking direct, they offer AARP, AAA and Military discounts but you have to ask. Bring your own coffee and hygiene products. Leave your pillow at home.

If you're looking for a cheap place to stay and don't mind a pretty old motel, I do recommend this…read more Unlike other hotels in the area, this one did not have any bugs, stains, or anything gross. Its main fault is that it really needs updating, especially the bathroom. The floor also could have been more clean. But I was really glad to have wood - not carpet - floors. Bed was actually pretty decently comfortable, and the tv across from it is a great size. Many channels available, including Bravo lol. As others have noted, there is very friendly service. The guy who is at the front desk, and who also took my call for booking the place, is very friendly, nice, and helpful. I left check-in with so many pamphlets and suggestions from him! They also gave me complimentary late check-out when I asked in the morning. Also big plus: they are dog friendly!!

Stayed here from August 3rd until the 27th in 2021…read more Dan was the front desk manager and was one hell of an employee. I have disabilities that prohibit me from maneuvering stairs without a lot of pain, and he not only juggled things around to accommodate my disabilities by getting me a ground floor room, he also not once, but twice managed to move things around to keep me in the same room when my company extended my stay on 2 occasions. Check in was incredibly easy and quick, as was check out. Concerning the room; No microwave but the electric is strong enough to handle it if you bring your own with you (used a 900W). Room was very clean although in obvious need of maintenance to trim, plaster, and such. Large two person single sink vanity adjacent to bathroom. Hairdryer, iron, and ironing board in-room. Mini fridge with freezer alcove. 4K TV (don't know the size but large). Parking There is a plethora of parking available including an overflow lot in back. Room service They don't seem to technically have room service but they will absolutely bring you sundries and things such as coffee. Housekeeping They have a good size HK crew who I've seen firsthand do a good job. For dailies they clean thoroughly after each patron. For extended stays they have currently suspended HK unless specifically requested. Pool There is a indoor pool as well as a outdoor hot tub. Nearby interests There is a Shell next door that has a car wash, the car wash is quite loud. In walking distance is a laundromat, Subway, Mexican and Chinese food, Grocery Outlet, Fred Meyer, as well as a KFC, Burger King and McDonald's, to name a few. Things to note I enjoyed my stay here and had little to no difficulties during my stay. There is remodeling going on so it's facade currently is a bit of a mess. If you stay in the 300's rooms you may hear them going in and out from the garages (storage) which are below the rooms there. Overall I enjoyed this stay much more than my stays at the Comfort Inn in Bend, or the Red Lion in Portland.

They have a 10pm quiet rule which was perfect except it wasn't because they had a "foreign exchange student" in the room above us stomping back and forth ALL NIGHT from 8pm- 3:30Am when we finally couldn't handle the noise anymore I called front desk to complain they went and knocked on the door there was no answer and he just continued to make noise even after that. Went to complain in person to the lady at the front desk and she was VERY rude and inconsiderate. Seems likes there's regular people living here. Would not recommend very disappointed that my grandpa and I were woken up all hours of the night because of this person!

As someone who appreciates mid-century motels, I liked the original vintage Formica countertop in the bathroom. The baseboard heater worked great. I appreciate the bedside light with the USB charging port, it's such a little convenience that I really enjoy. The microwave and mini refrigerator were also appreciated. Also, I love old motels like this with covered parking in front of the rooms! I was warmly greeted at check in by the motel owner's mother who said she travels out here every summer to help them out. She was a very sweet woman who chatted with me for a bit and was eager to recommend sights and restaurants in Brookings. I would only have a couple recommendations for improvement for the owner to enhance the guest experience and property. First, the room literally had nothing decorating the walls. A few well-chosen, tasteful pieces of wall art could go a long way to making the room feel cozier and more inviting. The other suggestion I have is to lean into the mid-century origin of the building when considering future updates or renovations.

The price was the primary benefit of this place along with no frills. However I don't want cheap…read moreprices at the expense of basic security. Rm 139 had no deadbolt lock. The previous guest left a note on wall about the deadbolt.
