Based upon Trip Advisor reviews, we chose the Pelican Shores Inn when we drove through Lincoln City. What a fabulous place! We were given a beautiful room that had all the amenities, including a little kitchen and a working fireplace. We were able to enjoy some local crab, cheese and wine while sitting in our room and staring out at the Pacific! The next morning, we started our day with a long walk along their beautiful beach. What more could one want?

The front desk women were wonderful...very friendly and helpful. The room was large, very comfortable and upscale. The location was convenient and easily found. The only negative was the breakfast, which was a typical continental variety. But, we wanted to eat breakfast out anyway so it didnt' affect us. I believe that this hotel is one of the best bargains along the OR coast. I plan on returning whenever I get back to OR!

Just got back from a 6 week stay at Pelican Shores Inn. As always, it was a perfect stay. The property and rooms are kept up to date and are clean and comfortable. The office staff are all knowledgeable and friendly. The manager, Nicole, is the nicest person you can imagine meeting. She is always friendly, helpful and eager to please you. This place is right at the beach and the rooms have a beautiful view of the waves and everchanging ocean. Beach access is easy and one of the lowest on the beachfront. I always feel safe when I stay there and have never had reason to complain about anything. They offer a complimentary breakfast, free newspaper, and have a covered pool there. I really cannot say enough good things about this property; I have stayed at other locations in Lincoln City, but this is by far the best choice. Also, for those who like to visit the casino, it is a short walk away.

We had a very nice time in our "fireplace suite" room. This room, 320, is on the top floor and directly above the lobby/office. Picture windows-no balconies. No elevators...stairs only. Separate swimming pool (no spa/hottub).
Living room: appointed with a kitchenette, dishes & cooking items, hide-a-bed sofa (king?), armchair, TV (tube), cable TV, fridge, microwave, large picture window. Carpet is standard...clean...not showing wear. Floor fan provided.
Bathroom: standard (they are renovating all of them...not yet on this room.
Bedroom: queen bed...firm and not "rutted" (seemed fairly new), tube TV, no DVD.
Storage: plenty of hangers and coves to place your clothing in, as well as dressers and drawers.
We were here Saturday thru Thursday. Room and surroundings were quiet. Gas fireplace worked fine, but as there is no A/C, it warms the place up quickly...especially if the outside temp hits 55 degrees. Only negative I found of the room was that the bedroom got warm at night. We like it around 64 degrees, but it was too warm. Solution: used the floor fan at night to blow cool air down the hall. A bit noisy but a workable solution. Glad that was the only negative.
Housekeeping was always ready to clean...as late as 4 pm...and did a fine job.
Location is fine and dandy, near many good restaurants, grocery stores, etc.
The continental breakfast has everything you'd expect except for waffles. Milk, OJ, yogurt, cereal, pastries, coffee/tea/cocoa...everything is in separate containers to allow you to take it to your room (which is encouraged...its not a large office to eat in.) Cookies are available in the evening.
Also offered a AAA discount off the rack rate (except for weekends/holidays...their most busy time.)
Again, a great time here made so by beautiful weather, friendly caring staff, and a very nice to excellent room.

Our stay at the Pelican Shores Inn was great. The bed was comfortable. The view AMAZING. And even though the establishment is a little bit older, it is CLEAN and kept up to date. THE STAFF IS THE BEST PART! Our trip to the beach was to celebrate both of our birthdays, Valentines Day and expecting our first child. Reebeca at the front desk welcomed us to our room with a sand bucket of Champagne, Sparkling Cider and Chocolates! She even was thoughtful enough to congratulate us on our first child. We were surprised and the five star service. This is a great place to stay, especially on a budget.
