Captain John's Motel

Charleston

We stayed at Captain John as a place to just sleep as we were meeting up with friends in the area. So we wanted a no frills place to sleep. It was clean and adequate. It is located near the public docks and the Coast Guard station. Good location for crabbing.

Staff was friendly. 

The rooms could use a bit of maintenance. The sink was slow draining. The bathroom counter was literally just about my knee caps and I'm not that tall. The toilet was very short- great for someone 3 - 4 foot tall. And, the closet was screwed shut with a sign on it that advised you that it was not a closet and do not try to open. it also had small holes in the doors that were screwed shut. A little unsettling.

Overall, I would go back if we could not find other accommodations. so not written off

Your basic motel

If you came to catch crabs (the ocean going kind), this is the place! The motel is very basic, but the shower was good and everything we wanted was nearby. You can rent a couple crab rings (fish heads included!) at Basin Tackle and spend the day drinking beer and crabbing on the docks. Bring those crabs back to Cap’n John’s and cook ‘em up in the fish house - they have huge pots and propane burners (50 cents for 10 minutes, about $1.50 to get the crabs boiled up). If you’d rather somebody else cook your dinner, there’s decent food at a couple of restaurants within easy walking distance, Miller’s at the Cove is a nice sports bar with excellent fish selection. There are a couple of convenience stores a few blocks away, and a good breakfast place across the highway. They let us bring our dog. We liked staying at CaptainJohn’s!

Budget motel near pubic docks

We had a reservation in a hotel along Highway 101-unfortunately, when we arrived, we were advised that they did not have a reservation, forcing us to look elsewhere for last minute accommodations on a Friday and Saturday night. Captain John's was recommended, as they had accommodations available. We called, spoke to Sabrina, who graciously held the room until we arrived-we weren't sure if we were going to stay. Upon arrival, she was very helpful, letting us review the room before accepting it. The room was clean and had ample space, with 2 beds a large closet, and a Keurig coffeemaker! The room was quiet, we were not bothered by noise. This was a different location than we had hoped for, but we explored the area and found some lovely beaches to visit. Many thanks to Sabrina for all of her assistance and helpful tips.

Lucky to have found this place

If they would just do a little more updating (carpets, beds, etc.) this place would be just fine.  I don't mind old and clean, but this was hard to sleep in.  The carpets were very stained and the box spring on the bed was gross!

Had to try it!

Friendly staff and easy check-in.  Room was clean.  Place was quiet (at least by 10 PM when some tourists stopped shooting off fireworks).  Wasn't close enough to room to be a real bother.  This was a last minute reservation made while traveling.  It might have been a little farther off Hwy 101 than preferred, but served it's purpose.  Added bonus was nice restaurant within walking distance.

Met our needs for the night.

I liked the motel, not bad for the price.  I wished that our room had a bathtub, but otherwise the room was in great condition, the bed was comfortable. It came with a microwave, and a mini fridge. And shampoo and conditioner, which our other motel did not have.
I will definitely stay here again.

Very good

Stayed here due to the location and convenience to crabbing. We’re likely won’t stay here again though. The walls are paper thin, the “hot” water takes a long time to get like warm at best, beds are uncomfortable and the pillows should’ve been replaced years ago. Normally I don’t complain or write reviews, but there are a few things that could easily be done to improve guest experiences so hopefully the owners will look into them. I will say the customer service was really friendly though.

Convenient

well located, away from the bustle of Coos Bay.  A nice community.  The room was clean and enough heat to keep out the drizzle.  Right on the bay.  The staff members were a delight.  Stayed there to travel to the light show and it couldn't have worked out better.


Nice location, lovely town

Great location for the traveler, close to Cape Arago and Sunset Bar,,,,,short drive to downtown Coos Bay.   Lots of fisherman stay here, so they get up early and do not stay up partying all nite long!    Old school motel, but clean rooms, comfortable beds and safe location.  Less than 300 yards to several restaurants and convenience stores.  Rooms have mini fridge and microwave plus hi-speed wifi.   Coos Bay doesnt have lots of new franchise hotels, so this little inn is your best bet.

Perfect little inn on working waterfront

We were touring Oregon and booked the night before.  Booking in was fine and the room was clean and functional.  The bed could do with a new mattress but it was okay for one night.  Breakfast was a hot drink and a pastry.  There were a lot of people crab fishing and the ones staying in the room next to us were from near Klamath  falls.  They were very friendly and kindly gave us a crab (cooked!) and it was lovely.  Thanks again if you read this!
