One star is too high. We stayed 7÷26÷15 and paid $ 75.00. Old, moldy, smelled bad, coffee was only available from 7am to 9am no coffee pot in the room. Pay $ 10.00 and stay across the street.

We paid $ 85 a night for a king size bed on a weeknight in July. If we’d paid $ 41 for the room, like I see people were paying a year ago, then I’d rate this higher than one star. But it’s totally not worth 85 a night. PROS: Nice newer laminate floor Heater works quickly Hot water in bath Handy parking Free ice Nice owner CONS: Mold thick in the window sills, around the shower Dirty room Thin walls allow all sounds to come in, road, conversations, etc, be careful what you say Horrible lumpy hard bed Worn out pillows No breakfast of any sort Free coffee was bad Wifi never worked No AC Prison grade toilet paper Creepy guys sitting around watching you in the parking lot Comically bad build quality Security cameras EVERYWHERE!(Guess they need to watch the creepy guys) Beat up furniture Curtain appeared to be some sort of wetsuit material, hung on electrical conduit rod screwed into a plumbing connection $ 41 bucks a night? Sure, if you’re okay with the downsides, and don’t mind endless road noise and neighboring room conversations. $ 85 bucks a night? Ha ha, you’re kidding, right?

Very nice owners, great price, great location along the 101. Huge room, very nicely outfitted, except for the old bathroom mirror(spotty). Wifi included, no continental breakfast. The main reason for deducting a star is the traffic noise. I was actually ten rooms back from the street and it sounded like I was right up against it. My noise machine couldn’t even cancel it out. But if that doesn’t bother you, this is your place!

I gave this place 5 stars not because it’s a 5 star hotel, but because for the value it is worth 5 stars. The room was clean and free of smoke/pet smell. It had a flat screen TV(I don’t even watch tv so it was kinda fun to channel surf) and the guy at the front desk was super nice. Also, it was only $ 41 and change for a room w/a king sizes bed. They even had a mini fridge, which was super helpful to us since we usually travel with snacks.

After a 1 night stay, I extended to a week. Owner gave me a nice discount! The owner called over to the the 76 station, and my beer was comped! He even let me wash my car, after he got done with his! Small free library of paperbacks in the lobby, read a Travis McGee novel while catching the sun on the patio. I had a 2nd floor room with a view of the ocean… I love Gold Beach! Traffic noise is to be expected, the closer you are to 101. Didn’t bother me much. Get a room towards the back if noise is a concern. Wi-Fi worked pretty good. For the price I think the 101 is great deal!

I did pay for a budget room, which is fine. I get that means no frills. But there were no disposable cups in my room, no Kleenex and a measly 6 or so squares of toiletpaper with no extra roll. Not cool. On the good side of things, room was large. My room was very clean and the deskperson was very nice. Won’t be back though. The lack of basics was a little upsetting.

Very Nice Basic Motel, Clean, Comfortable, Convenient, Fast internet, Only steps to the beach Extremely Kind, Friendly helpful owner/manager Motel 101 is the excellent motel for budget travelers especially extended stays with very affordable rates!

The trip was incredible. I Won the prize while taking boat trip! I saw Ottos, Falcon, Bald Eagles, ducks, Osprey and got great pictures too!

Owner pleasant, room relatively clean for a cheap old motel. The walls are paper thin and so NO sleep as others played all night and the sounds reverberated through the walls. Road noise as its right on the Highway added third dimension to the awful racket. We were told the breakfast was just coffee and instant oatmeal but we gave up at 5am and left after a sleepless night!

This place was AWESOME! It was actually our favorite motel that we stayed in on our whole trip up the coast. I chose this motel because it was the cheapest motel in Gold Beach so originally I didn’t know what to expect, boy were we surprised! The rooms were super clean, had nice showers, nice beds, large flat screen TV’s, and microwaves and refridgerators. There is a nice area to sit outside by the soda and ice machines and there is a nice room they have set up with coffee, tea, and danishes in the morning. The motel is right across the street from the beach and it is close to everything in town. We spent 4th of July here and couldn’t be happier. There was a great fireworks show, it’s close to restaurants, fishing, you name it! We want to make Gold Beach our family vacation place next year and of course we will be staying at Motel 101. To top it all off, the owner of the motel was super nice, helpful, and friendly. He is one of the reasons why this motel was our favorite! He told us where the fireworks show was, where to eat, and anything we needed he was on it! Big, BIG thumbs up to Motel 101. We will definitely be back!

Third stay, and still satfisfied. We stayed in a regular two queen for $ 65 plus tax, and that included the dog! Friendly, clean, and reasonable. What more can you ask for? How about deer walking right by your room in the early evening? If you’re lucky you’ll have that too!

Stayed here on a whim while driving up the coast. We fell in love with Gold Beach and wanted to spend the night so we combed the Internet and found this place. It was cheap — $ 39 — and we figured a place to stay in a strange place is a gamble anyway, may as well go cheap. We held our breath on the way there, hoping we hadn’t just booked a really scuzzy room. When we arrived, Terry checked us in and said he’d upgraded us to a better King sized room for an extra $ 6. He was really sweet so we paid it and checked in. Wow, were we surprised! A very cute and clean room with a small table and two chairs, a flat screen TV and dresser, a microwave and refrigerator and a sink outside the bathroom. The bed was comfortable, the linens were completely fine and the bathroom was clean! Good shower pressure, clean towels, newish carpet, a heater that worked in lightning speed and a parking space right outside. We kind of loved Motel 101 and will definitely be back.
