Review of The Coho Oceanfront Lodge 3*

My husband and I have stayed at the Coho a few times now — always in one of the Sunset suites. From what I can tell, other than the largest family suite — these are the most expensive rooms at Coho Lodge. We visit Lincoln City frequently and think that the Coho Lodge is by far the best of the many places we have stayed. And, I’m the annoyingly picky type of person who will find something wrong if it’s to be found. Although the Sunset Suite is a bit expensive — we pay well over $500 for two nights, we do believe it’s worth it. The view is great and furnishings both attractive and comfortable. The room is always clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast is decent and a much better selection than the typical offerings for this type of thing. My only complaint is specific to our last visit. We had booked our room about a month out and had requested a specific room. At check in we were told it wasn’t available. Upon being given a different room — I asked for more details as to its location in the building. I was told it was on the second of the three levels. This made me unhappy — which the gal at the desk could see. She quickly and cheeefully changed us to the top floor. But here’s the thing. After check-in, out of curiosity I looked to see where the original room was located. Not only was it on the second floor — it was located in a spot where the ocean view to the north would have been almost completely obstructed. Since we were there for two nights, we spend a good amount of time in our room AND we were playing well over $500 for two nights — I would have lost my mind had we actually had been given that room. Come on. For that kind of money — you shouldn’t wind up discovering your ocean view is in any way obstructed — beyond the probability you’d have heard people above you walking around and flushing their toilet. Since it all worked out in the end, we will definitely stay at Coho Lodge on our next visit. But I have to say, I find what almost occurred troublesome and it does make me apprehensive for next time.
