SPINDRIFT MOTOR INN — Hotel in Brookings

The room was ok. It had 3 beds and a balcony that you could see bay at angle. I never really write bad reviews but this hotel I will never stay at again. We had no maid service at all. They only give you bars of soap. No shampoo or anything else. My one pillow had spots on it like it was not even cleaned. The people before us had a towel outside and I know this because it was there when we got the room. Wooden stairs to climb so if you afraid of steps dont go. No coffee for Coffee pot or tea. I am one that goes with flow but no maid service was outrageous. We went to beach and came back after couple of hours and room was not touched we then relaxed no knocking on door or anything. Went out all night and still nothing. No door hanger to say do not disturb or anything. They dont have one. Cant see ocean at all. Not sure if you have a view from first floor at all. Walls are thin to where you hear everything next door even the...

I stayed here once before. It wasn't great but it was cheap. This time, June 2020, I checked in and went to the room. It smelled like a kennel. I'm concerned about Covid, so I got my wipes out to do a little cleaning. First I found dried toothpaste in and around the sink. Then I found dry dog food on the floor. When I knelt down to clean the floor I found poo on the baseboard under the sink. That did it. I got my money back and left. The clerk was quick to give a refund, but did not apologize. I admit I was aggravated. Considering the Covid concerns I thought this was really bad. The clerk just made excuses about his new, untrained, short handed staff. He said if I was so concerned I shouldn't be traveling. Maybe he's right but I don't think anyone wants a room that has poo in it....

Quiet for being right off Hwy 101 near the end of town. Room was clean, everything worked, and had some amenities. Compared to other motels in a surprisingly (to me anyway) increasing priced market of SW Oregon, the Spindrift is a good value. One drawback: it is located on a downward slope, so the motel design is staggered. Walking on the 2nd floor feels odd and in some places one would have to duck if they were tall to avoid hitting ones head on the extended roof. One bonus: There is a large field next to the motel--not sure who it belongs to--that had deer in it in the morning. I walked through it because it leads to a viewing area of the beach, which, according to a well-know internet mapping site, is a protected marine area (no signs, you just have to know its there by...
