We stayed here when it was D Sands Motel probably 50 times in the past 25 years so we knew what to expect. The only feedback that makes this not a 5 star stay was the pool. They no longer heat the pool? Maintenance guy we spoke with in the evening was completely casual about it: "It's room temperature." What room would that be?? It's just barely above Oregon ocean water! And NOT once, in the 6 days we were there, did we see anyone in the pool. Why bother then? Hot tub was good except the chorine was so strong you could barely open your eyes while sitting in the water. The same guy said the hot tub was 104. Nope. 100 at best. Felt good but not 104. Also, when we checked in there was a strange smell to the room. Almost like cigarette or pot smell. Aired out and it was better. Oh, and don't bother with minor service requests of the office here. They do not return calls. We had a light burn out in the bathroom, not even a courtesy response. Otherwise, cute room with some nice personal new-owner touches (walk in tub was a nice touch, and updates to the bathroom). Beds were comfortable. Dishes were cute (plastic, which I thought was an excellent idea over the heavy stoneware they used to have--if I have to handwash dishes I don't need dishes that not only can break but weigh a half pound each). It was nice to see typical VRBO touches like games left (which we added to) in the closet, spices left in the cupboard. Overall a great stay and a nice room.
