The Place Is antique, but not kept up, requires serious improvements, starting from the sanitation and cleanliness, definitely not au the normal European standards. Room were dirty, stinky, old carpet full of stains, pet friendly , we found a heir ball in the shower which was furnished with decrepit forniture. 
I would not recommend,unless you want to get sick 🤢.

Orribile

Stay 1: Was booked with travel agency, fraudulently posing as owners. We showed up on my birthday weekend, were told the room booked was unavailable and had to pay more for another room out of pocket. I believe Eric scams people at will like many other reviews mention. I gave them a business card because I felt like I wanted to help them out. My card indicated very clearly that I have been a licensed and bonded general contractor since 2008. I have stayed at the inn before these folks owned it and was much more impressed with the service and quality of upkeep.
Things that didn't function stay 1:
Main light/fan, bedside lamps, Remote to TV, multiple electrical outlets, chipping paint at the deck that most likely contains lead. Asked Eric the owner to fix it and he seemed to act like it was an inconvenience.
Stay #2: Rhody Weekend. I called, Eric's wife answered, told me the room would be $300.28 for Saturday/Sunday, almost double what was advertised and what we paid last time for a similar room! 15 to 20 minutes later I get a phone call from her again asking if we would be willing to work a few hours to help out for Thursday/Friday stays, I told her I would think about it and call her back. About an hour later I called back and said sure that sounded OK and we chatted about moving some furniture out of a room and sweeping the main parking lot with a "Lot sweeper" she said they had. Upon arrival late Thursday night, tired from the drive we called them as they asked and his wife came to the door and let us in. She had me sign a paper with ((((NO))) total cost on it and said the furniture moving would not be happening and we would talk about it more the next morning (Friday) they gave us only one key to two rooms and no front door key. Also stating we could sleep in because the carpet install was delayed. Next morning at approximately noon we spoke with Eric about what needed to be done, after seeing the tools he was providing it became clear this man has no idea about grounds keeping of this size. A sweeper meant for a 2 to 3 foot wide walk way, a pair of old basic loppers and an electric weed Wacker that looked 20 years old with no guard, two foot of string hanging out and a 100 ft extention cord that looked like it got hit with the wacker string many times, exposed wires and so forth. The weed Wacker did not work and thank goodness because when I was wrapping the cord back up I found all the exposed wires. The amount of work spoken of was always a few hours, I'm not sure Eric knows what a few hours of work looks like. His expectations would have been more like 10 to 15 hours of work. I did use the loppers and did a fine job on the bushes, cleaned up most of the debris with the rake they provided that was maybe 8 inches wide and looked like a plastic child's toy. I talked with Eric and told him we were done, and that next time if we were to do this again I would bring my professional tools I use to maintain my own 2 acre property on the outskirts of Eugene (gas chainsaws, hedge trimmers, mowers and gas weedwackers) so to get more done in that same allotted time. This was literally like using a spoon to empty a lake! Honestly if they wouldn't have offered this deal we would have only stayed one night, and with him saying they had tools and minimizing the amount of work he wanted done this would not have happened.
I have been a Professional Business Owner for 18 years and currently own two businesses, A Construction Company with a Fantastic reputation and an Event Production Company. When asked Eric lied about total payment, on the phone when Confronted continued to make excuses, even after he was advised I had recorded all of our conversations on the phone because that is my business practice to avoid issues with people like this. Eric should elect to refund our entire stay at this point. In conclusion, dishonest business practices, customer service, terrible grounds keeping, bad attitude. His wife does work very very hard though. Maybe her lead would be better suited for this business for a more successful future!

Horrible Business owner, 2 out of two bad experiences with the new owner Eric. Bad businessman, terrible attitude.

We booked a room for Saturday during 2024 Rhody Fest. Around 15 minutes after we made the booking they called us back and asked if the offer we made the last time we stayed was still good (my boyfriend is a general contractor and told them if they needed any work done to give him a call) we said of course and he stated they needed furniture moved out of a room Friday morning to prep for new carpet and the parking lot swept for a total of “a couple hours of work” he stated he had all the tools to do it and offered us Thursday and Friday night to stay. We told him sure but we wouldn’t be there till late Thursday night (11:30pm) when we got there that night the lady informed us that the carpet install was delayed so furniture didn’t need to be moved till Sunday but it would still be only a couple hours of work in exchange for the nights they offered. Well, when we got up and going Friday (we had 4 kids with us ranging from 4 years old to 14 years old) he started with the “sweeper” for the 3 parking lots. He gave us a tiny hand push sweeper meant for small walkway sidewalks and a wheel barrow. Me with the help of my teenagers it took us from 12pm till 2:30pm to get the lots done (plus while we were doing this we had to keep the 4 and 6 year olds happy) when I told him the wheelbarrow was getting heavy and asked where to dump it he first said “I don’t know if this is legal” and then told me he wanted my teenager to walk it 3 blocks away to fill potholes. I refused it and he gave me attitude. After the 3rd time I told him I was not going to have them walk it that far he gave in and had them dump it by the mailbox out front. While we were working on the lots he wanted my boyfriend (who is a general contractor not yard maintenance) to trim and shape the bushes on the far side of the building, cut the grass in the back and cut and remove ivy around a tree. To do these tasks he gave my BF a weedwacker that had no guard and a foot and a half of string sticking out and an extension cord that looked like it got into a knife fight (come to find out it didn’t even work) and hand clippers for the bushes and ivy. It took my BF from 12pm till 2:30pm just to cut and shape the large amount of bushes BY HAND! After we completed the couple of hours of work we were told to do in exchange for the stay we went about our weekend. The room was nasty, carpet was wavy and very worn, paint was peeling, the dryrot inter the doorframe that caused the door to the patio not to close, lamp didn’t work, no remote in one room, the tv in the main room wouldn’t connect to the internet (it is a Roku tv the is a hit and miss on what services are logged in on what tv) the beds are so worn they are uncomfortable and the list goes on. My daughters were cover in bug bites, we stayed at the lighthouse inn a couple weeks before this and the same thing happened, but we thought maybe it was sand fleas or something from the beach, but this time we didn’t even get close to the beach. So the only pieces that matched there was where we were staying. On Sunday we watched the parade and after it was over started packing up our stuff to head home. The owner (Eric) then walked up to our door and told me and my BF that he was ready for us to move the furniture whenever we were ready. My BF told him nicely that we were going to head out and that he was willing to pay an extra $100 for the stay, that we had already put in the couple of hours they told us we needed to do for the extra nights and we were not going to move the furniture. Eric again gave attitude and interrupted my BF by loudly saying “NO”. We again told him we put in the work already and were leaving. Eric then said he would charge us and walked away. When we turned in the keys my BF asked him how much TOTAL would he be charged and Eric answered $300. We checked the account and there was a charge of $300.28 for our Saturday booking and we went home but the story doesn’t end there. Monday we see he charged us another $300, refuses to return it saying we didn’t do any of the work that was requested of us.

Scam Artist Owner

We had two enjoyable nights here and we would gladly come back.  I was initially reluctant to book the room based on some previous negative reviews, but so many other places were booked we decided to give it a try.   Frankly, the negative reviews are quite unfair.   One complaint was about no cable TV, even though Roku is provided.   No cable?  No problem.   I come to enjoy the beautiful Oregon coast, not to veg out in front of the TV.   The bathrooms are not fancy or modern - but I don't need to spend much time in the bathroom and I had a nice hot shower on multiple occasions.  Another complaint was about the biscuits for breakfast.  They were hearty barley biscuits.  I don't care for gravy, but they were quite tasty with Eric's home made pineapple orange preserves.   Our room (#3) was very large - and quiet at the back of the hotel, with plenty of space to spread out.  

I love the old-time lodge feel of the lobby.   Coming here is a step back in time and our gracious hosts made it most pleasant.  It's not for everyone.  The internet can be spotty - so if you need to ZOOM with business colleagues, choose another place.  But if you want to stay at a historical lodge and enjoy a unique stay with very gracious hosts, try the Lighthouse Inn.   If you want all modern conveniences, go elsewhere and pay double or triple the price.

Quaint, Clean and Comfortable

I would not recommend this hotel. I found our room to be very old, outdated and the bathroom disgusting. On the form you complete when registering it states”do not put towels on the floor” hang them up. After looking at the bathroom floor it is obvious why, the floor is dirty! They did have a breakfast, but it was not kept up with the guests. There is no cable TV, just a streaming Ruko. No premium channels such as Netflex provided, no cable. I gave this hotel 2 stars because of its location. It is in walking distance to Florence’s historic district with restaurants, shops, and bars.

Old outdated, no cable TV

Carpet was dirty  there was a big stain in the bathroom by the shower and it had not been swept outdated heater no air conditioning no coffee in the room and the coffee at  breakfast was lukewarm at best and no waffle mix.No phone in room. No cable and wifi slowww. For the price I could have went somewhere alot better. Didn't realize what I was getting into I would never go back. The lady at the front desk was nice tho.

Terrible place to stay

Only stayed one night on our way to Palm Springs. Check in was easy, front desk polite. The room was charming and well decorated, clean and comfortable. The problem again was the bathroom, needs some work and a better shower. How hard can it be to install a proper shower head with water pressure. The worst thing about this motel was the breakfast. It was inedible. Dry biscuits that you were supposed to smother in gravy, didn’t even go there, waffles you could make yourself but the batter tasted really weird, threw that away and back to Quaker oatmeal. The coffee was lukewarm and no cream for coffee. If you go, be prepared to go out for breakfast like we did, at least you know what you’re getting at the Golden Arches and the coffee is hot

Palm Springs here we come

Nice and quiet little hotel. I liked the convenient location. There is also new flooring in my room #3. There seemed to be a good amount of parking as I usually arrive late to hotels and have problems finding parking but this was not the case here. Management is very friendly and when I checked in I enjoyed looking at the birds that they had in the lobby. Great place, Historical, clean!

Good location, Nice rooms

This motel was so awful that I feel it is my duty to leave a review.  The room was facing the parking lot that was on a busy road.   It was a sad room that had the feel of the kind of place people are found dead from an overdose.  I think it was too expensive for that, but that’s the impression I got.  As part of checking in I had to sign a unusually uptight agreement that gave me an even worse impression of the place. We left and went to the beach and during that time I decided that it was just too depressing to stay there.  So we got a room at the Driftwood shores resort which cost about 40 % more but was literally 10 times better.  It was too late to cancel so they still got my money. This is the kind of place you stay at when there is no room anywhere else, it’s late and you are too tired to notice the loud traffic sounds outside.  Be kind to yourself and avoid this motel.

Truly Awful

The hotel is old and showing it’s age but seemed to be clean and the owners were very nice and accommodating.  We stayed in the adjoining rooms as there were 5 ladies travelling together and it was nice having the space.  It’s location is great, right on the highway beside the bridge and an easy walk into Old Town for meals.
