Captain John's Motel, Charleston

Looked on line for motels in Charleston,Or. 7/30/08 room rate was $58.00. When I called to make reservations I was told the rate was $95.00 and the $58.00 rate was winter rates.Come on now July 30th is winter??? seems like false advertising to me???

I just read these reviews and I am shocked. I found Captain John's to be very pleasant and reasonable. I took my grand kids there and we had great rooms, service and the price was more than fair.

We stayed here for one night on trip biking the Oregon coast. Of course, after biking in excess of 50-60 miles a day, we were in need of decent beds. Unfortunately, Captain John's didn't provide them. The room was uncomfortably hot, the beds were uncomfortable (NOT helped by the heavy, plastic "pee pads" they insist on using as mattress covers) and on the dot of 11 PM the management called our room requesting we "quiet down" as someone had complained. We were watching the 11 PM news for God's sake! And NOT loud! You can't tell me things don't get rowdier than THAT in a little fishing town like Charleston . . . Captain John's DOES provide a "continental breakfast" (coffee and an assortment of doughnuts from what looked like the Safeway bakery), but this didn't really redeem the captain in our eyes. The place wasn't packed (we were there mid-week) and they have quite a few rooms, but for some reason they put people on both sides of our room (we didn't complain about the noise though). My husband made it to the motel first (biking) and used one credit card to get the room and when I arrived I wanted to use a different one, but they acted as though there was no way they could change it. I've done it at other motels, but this seemed to be a little too technical at this motel. All in all, it was not the highlight of our trip and if the cost had been what's advertised online ($58) we probably wouldn't have been quite so dissatisfied, but for almost $100 (I believe we were quoted $81 on the phone & I think that's what we paid), in such a small market, I expect a little bit more. It's almost as if they have the attitude "we're the only game in town - you play, you get what you get."

We went to see the Christmas Lights at Shore Acres Park (amazing!!) and decided to stay in Charleston since it was so close. We asked at a local store where a good place for a nice steak/seafood dinner would be and were directed to the Portside Restaraunt and Lounge in Charleston. We stopped there at approx. 8:00 pm (Saturday night) before viewing the lights to see how late they were open. The side of the building had a large sign saying their hours were 11:30 am to 11:00 pm. We finished at Shore Acres at 10:00 pm and checked into the Captain Johns Motel where we then found out that being the "off season" there was nothing open to get dinner, not even a market!! Our experience was saved only by the North Bend eatery "Dave's Pizza" who took our phone order and promptly delivered a pizza to our room piping hot and delicious. We had a great breakfast the next morning at the Sea Basket(?) down by the docks, very reasonable prices. Very nice town and Captain John's was clean and reasonably priced.

we have stayed at captian john's motel everytime we have visited charleston everytime we go the rates go up and up don't you think that if you were to stay at a place atleast 10 times you should be able to get some kind of discount?? i understand everyting gas prices etc have gone sky high but.........come on we are thinking of not going back....... $84.00on the weekday and $97.00 on weedends is way to much money to spend on a motel like captian john's come on people give ua a break
