Southsider Motel

This is obviously an older building, but my room had been updated with some quality work to fix and repair bathroom fixtures and more. The bathroom door hung up on the floor, I was surprised maintenance let that slip by. Room was very clean and staff was very friendly. The area seemed a little questionable but a 15 minute walk took me to one end of the downtown area. The Coos Bay/North Bend businesses are mostly stretched along the shipping docks, so I did have to drive more than I would have liked.

Overall the southsider was what it’s meant to be a decent place to stay in a pinch the only complaint I have is my neighbor having people knock on his door all day and night but as long as you don’t get out next to room 1 you’ll find it cozy quiet outside of street traffic.

South side is located in a great spot and is very affordable.

The motel was great but it is on a main street and it was one extremely loud and I mean extremely loud vehicle after another. There must not be a noise ordinance or it's too hard to enforce. This went on most of the night. Other than that the place was great!

The room was pretty dirty, and there was people outside the window all night long. For a last minute stay it was alright- but I don’t think I’ll stay here again.

Derek in the office was friendly and helpful at check in and thru out my stay of 3 nights

Well - I read the reviews and was trying to help out a small business owner. Small business owner needs to do a few upgrades. The positives - shower pressure was amazing. Bed/Towel Linens were clean - old but clean. Now the negatives - There was a burn hole in the very old 1980's bedspread. The mattress was cheap and very uncomfortable. I considered staying another night but my back would have been very mad at me. The toilet doesn't flush well - and there was only a trinkle of water from the sink- had to brush my teeth using the shower.... I thought the floor was clean until I mopped up the water from my shower and the white towels turned gray. Over all with a few upgrades this could be a cute and comfortable little place. Might charge a bit more as a "boutique" but would definitely need some serious upgrades - furniture is old and outdated. Some paint would go a long way and updated art - the picture in my room had to be from 1960 - and not in a good "retro" way.

Motel was right off Hwy 1 so there was a lot of traffic noise. It was not in the best part of town. The motel office door was locked and there was a sign that said, "no loitering". The furnishings were old. We choose motels on our road trips based on the ratings by others and we do not believe this motel lived up to the good ratings.

Check In was smooth, great little room, ice machine was handy. Nice amenities in the room, coffee, fridge and microwave. Nicely remodeled shower. Noise from the highway might be a thing for some, but not too bad.
