D Sands Condominium Motel

We have stayed at D'Sands for as long as I can remember and have seen it go through many changes over the years. The Office staff was very friendly and accommodating to our request for more pillows. I appreciate you walking them to our room, Thank You. This trip we stayed in studio 120 "Abercrombie & Fish" for the first time. We were pleasantly surprised to find the furniture had been updated since the website photo had been taken. We found a very comfortable leather double recliner had been installed. Also, an end table with electrical outlets on the front of it for charging whatever we needed. This made evenings in the room very comfortable next to the fireplace listening to the waves. Another nice touch was the pool towels we found stored on the shelf in the closet. We had no need for them, but definitely a nice touch. The Walk-in shower was very convenient, as I am just a couple months post op from double knee replacements. This was a great addition compared to some of the other rooms we've stayed in at D'Sands. However, the shower head was placed very high on the wall making it impossible for some of us lower in stature folks to adjust it. Another nice touch was the provided fan stored in the closet this was much appreciated. We will definitely choose this unit again for our future visits. Thank you to the owners of this unit for a nice home away from home. Just a couple suggestions that would make "Abercrombie & Fish" an even better place to stay. 1. Install an adjustable shower head that moves up and down on the wall. 2. Add a couple small shelves above the light switch. Counter space in the bathroom is limited. 3. Get bigger coffee mugs for the kitchen. The cups provided were appreciated but only held about three drinks of coffee.

We’ve been staying at D Sands since 2006. We use to come every year and try to get 313. Since my father passed away in 2014 we haven’t been going to LC. We did come to LC in 2018, stayed in 313. This room hasn’t had an upgrade since we’ve been coming since 2006. This last time the property wasn’t as clean as normal. The Murphy bed needs a new mattress. The couch and chair is uncomfortable and old. The dining room table and chairs might be 90’s ish style. The carpet is dirty. The balcony needs to be cleaned. Don’t like the communication, check in is now thru email. There was no code for WiFi and in the contract it stated they don’t have to provide it. This use to be the best place to stay in LC but this place is getting close to being washed up. This is the last time we’ll stay here and that’s sad, we have a lot of good memories here.

Floor in kitchen was dirty and carpet in the room. Ask to have maid service come mop and never showed up. Pool was a fungus moth under mats and around pool . Rail handle to enter pool is extremely loose! Hot tub was out of order and had dried up moss in it. Was roped off so anyone could fall in to it.

We will never go back. The hottub was broke and the pool was not heated. We were told there was a power surge and caused the hot tub to be broken, but all the places around them said there wasn't a power surge. The staff said they would make things right, but we didn't receive a discount or nothing. All they said at checkout was that they were sorry we didn't like our stay. Wow

We stayed in room 104. It is accessible, with a roll in shower and ramps at both doors. Kind of small (studio), but perfect for my family of three. The beach is right outside the back door. Everything was spelled out for check in before I made it here. Will definitely be back in the future.

To preface this review, my family and I have stayed at D'Sands before and had a good experience. Our recent stay was quite different. We checked in at 4pm on July 4th, and were relatively happy with the room. As we were getting ready for bed, we noticed Lice on the mattress of the queen bed. We then called the after hours staff to report the issue, and someone came to assist us within the hour. They disposed of the lice, and offered to change all the bedding. Given the scenario, we absolutely did not feel comfortable sleeping in the bed, and so they gave us an inflatable air mattress to sleep on for the night (all hotels in the area, including D'Sands were booked solid for the Holiday weekend). My wife and I got about 2 hours of sleep on the air mattress. The next morning we showed up at the front desk when they open at 10am (there was a sign that said someone would be back by 11am). When the front desk attendant was back, we outlined the situation, they called the management team, and we were offered a "free cancellation for our 2nd and 3rd night," but that we would have to pay full price for the first night + a cleaning fee. To net this out, our room had lice, we slept on an air mattress, and it not only cost us $577, but our kids were devastated that our vacation was cut short to one night. In addition, we also had to buy $40 worth of lice shampoo and other materials, and quarantine our luggage when we got home. We spoke with the General Manager (Clarissa Smith) this morning, and that conversation was less than pleasant as well. Essentially she implied that we may have brought the lice, and since there was no way to prove that we didn't they were not interested in refunding the first night stay. As someone that spends 100 nights a year in hotels, I can honestly say that this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. And frankly, I'm all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, and we're extremely understanding people, but our experience at the D'Sands and with their management staff was flat out unacceptable. The views are great, but do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else during your next stay in Lincoln City, or on the Oregon Coast.
