Agate Beach Hotels, Newport

"This was my favorite place to stay on our recent trip. Great experience from the staff, office is inside the restaurant. Inside the room, the decor is beautiful and pleasing to the eye. There were two television inside our room, one in the main area and one in the bedroom. They were both ROKU tvs and it was nice to just use my streaming services to watch what I wanted. There is also a DVD player in the main area (you can borrow a DVD in the amenities room.) In the main room, you have a couch, a coffee table (big enough to have a meal on it.) There is a mini fridge, dishes, silverware, cups, glasses and a Keurig. The WiFi password and door lock code to the amenities are in your room. There are instructions also in case you are having a difficult time with connected with the tvs. The bathroom is also decorated nicely. The shower head is a hand held one with different massage settings. The shower was very roomy too. Be careful with smaller children as mine slipped in the shower but he was okay. The hair dryer is in a bag near your towels. In the bedroom, they have an oscillating fan, two lamps, Roku tv and two bathrobes if needed. There is a dresser for your clothing and a hanging station with some hangers if needed. Now for the amenity room which is on the first floor, it has ice, coffee pods, DVDs, extra toiletries, toothbrush if you forgot it. They also hook you up with a S’mores box for the downstairs experience of the bin fire. Great experience. "

"The property was beautiful, clean and comfortable! Access to the beach was great! We would definitely come back!"

"Staff was always helpful and friendly. Parking was easy. Liked the fire pit and access to beach. The cookies and chowder were a nice touch. Balcony and the wet bar with fridge was a plus! Hard to find areas to improve. The windows around fire pit had quite a bit of seagull poo. However, I get that it is the coast so keeping glass clean is tough and a constant chore for sure. Overall. Great stay and we will very likely be back again this year. "

"Overall our stay was great, however the main thing that can be improved is that the queen bed is quite old and not the most comfortable to sleep on. Pillows also are way too soft which can cause some neck pain. We loved the wonderful unobstructed view of the Pacific ocean from our living room. I did not like the constant noise from upstairs neighbours non stop stomping even late at night. The kitchen was well equipped with basic utensils and cookware to prepare meals. Staff are super friendly and the check in/check out process was super easy and simple. I would definitely stay at Ester Lee motel again. "

"What a gem! Feels like you’re on a private island. Yet walkable to Devils Punch Bowl, MO’s and a sweet Coffe Shop. Restaurant was exceptional. The owner and Manager were wonderful. The room was charming with unstoppable views. Clean and comfortable and very peaceful. We will be back. "

"The overall beauty of the entire property."

"The room was clean, bed comfortable, and noise from outside and adjoining rooms minimal. The air conditioner was quiet, the refrigerator even kept things frozen in the freezing compartment. The microwave worked, though controls were confusing. The TV worked well, but channel selection poorly documented. WiFi was easily accessed The "free" breakfast was good, by usual motel standards, with scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, waffles, and juice. The coffee was brown and hot, but bland. Room coffee packets were no better. The staff was friendly and helpful; I had messed up on my departure date, and got the date extended -- fortunately this did not hit the heavy weekend schedule. Parking was great, with a lot at the level of the second floor where I stayed. Several good restaurants in the area. A good stay, at a reasonable price."

"Very clean and cozy"
