Loved everything about my stay. Had no issues. Front desk was not rushed with me. Both check-in and -out. Room clean, neat as a pin. Great rate. I'll be back. Oh, this was a pet-free room, so no funky smells whatsoever!

The view was amazing but the furniture was like in the 1960s very uncomfortable and there was a knob missing on the old oven that was probably in the 60s. The bed was comfortable. I wish we would’ve brought camping chairs from Home to sit in and the property was full of major weeds, also growing out of the gutters Very unattractive.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Clean comfortable room on the ocean. They allow dogs but I didn’t hear any barking and the room didn’t smell like dog. The only complaint I have is the lack of daily housekeeping. I don’t typically need it but it’s a shame those hardworking people have lost their jobs. Daily housekeeping or maintenance would have taken care of the ocean grime that needs rinsed off exterior windows. As it was the view was “foggy” due to the daily ocean grime. There are stairs to almost every room again not a problem for me but could be for mobility challenged visitors. Will visit here again!

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The room was clean and a great view of the ocean. It is an older motel but it is just what I was looking for. Prices are very reasonable. Will stay there again.

Quiet and comfortable, my husband and I completely enjoyed our midweek stay at the Ester Lee. The view was amazing. The bed was comfortable. There wasn't one thing we lacked. The accommodations were very clean. We last stayed at a vacation rental and paid a lot more, but it wasn't as comfortable or as clean, and there was no view!
