We stayed here with another couple as park of a package that included a bottle of wine, glass float and a free dinner at the restaurant.
We come to Lincoln City a few times a year and usually stay at the D Sands.
We had requested a high floor when we made the reservation 6 months earlier and also had requested to be near the room of the other couple we were staying with. They checked in and were assigned to a room on the 9th floor . We checked in behind them and were assigned to a room on the 3rd floor, so not near the other couple and ours was not a high floor. I had even confirmed these requests by phone earlier the same week.
Our room was fine. Standard size, clean, lightly decorated, decent view. We went up the other other couple's room on the 9th floor and holy cow, it was about 1/3 the size bigger and had a balcony about 4 times the size. The rooms were decorated differently which I understand is due to the fact that the units are individually owned. That was fine and understandable, but from a size and view perspective the other couple had the far superior room which is strange considering we booked with the same package. We asked to be moved and our request was declined.
Fathoms restaurant was great and the service was top notch. The first night we had neighbors who were so loud we actually had to go next door and ask them to be quiet. They kept it down for a while but we were awoken in the middle of the night to more loud noise.
The hotel itself was clean and relatively nice. There was a mandatory mask policy in place and I was disappointed that we saw several people in view of staff who were not wearing masks and were not asked to put one on.
There are two sweet kitties that roam the property that got pets every time we passed through. All staff was very friendly, although I do take issues with the agent who didn't move our room upon request.
Overall, this place isn't bad. The location is a bit further from the main drag but that also keeps the beach area less crowded. Unless we received another package as a gift we probably won't be back. For the price, location and inconsistency of the rooms we'll go back to D Sands. We prefer having the kitchen and the rooms with kitchens are WAY pricier at Inn at Spanish Head than they are at D Sands.
