Windermere Motel Review, Bandon, Oregon
We wanted to stay for a night on the oregon coast, in a hotel overlooking the ocean. Most properties like this are pretty expensive, even during weekdays. The Windereme Motel was more reasonably priced, at $120 a night during the summer. We were staying in the top story of a two floor house, with an expansive view out over the coastline. The room has a kitchen with a microwave, stove, fridge, and all the supplies you’d need. The kitchen table had the best view, and we enjoyed a game of cards while watching the waves crash onto the beach. When we opened thw window, we could hear the sound of the surf.
The bathroom is very small and cramped, although the room itself was quite large. There are other types of rooms available which might have a better layout. It was very clean.
There are a couple of paths leading from the property through the short dunes onto the beach itself – maybe a 5 minute walk.
The coastline is very rugged. The scenery is beautiful, with many rock islands just offshore. The beach itself is good for a walk, but the waves seemed too strong for even wading in.
Unfortunately the weather never really cleared for us – it was pretty cold, foggy, and windy so we just hung out.

I wonder if the positive comments about Windermere were planted by the owners. This place is an overpriced, tacky, dump. There is no central heating – had to use the oven for heat because the ancient space heater wasn’t doing a good job. The remodeling was incomplete and poorly done. The only positive was the lovely beach and view. We were trapped there because we made the reservations sight unseen. I was so glad to get out of there. Staying there was the only bad experience from our recent trip to the coast.

I stayed there too! When the tide was low you could go into the caves of the rock formations. And did you meet the owners dog, Mocha? She was our tour guide for our walks on the coast.She always led us back, even from a mile down the coast

and comment number 1, at 120 a night what did you expect? the Four Seasons? I was perfect in its simplicity.
