Best Lincoln City Hotels with a Pool
Lincoln City stretches along the Oregon coast, where the Pacific stays cold all year and a swim in the sea is for the brave. That is why its hotel pools matter, and why most of them are indoors and heated. Several sit right on the beach: Pelican Shores Inn, rated 9.2, pairs an indoor pool with direct beach access, The Coho Oceanfront Lodge has a heated indoor pool and ocean-view studios, and Surfland Hotel adds two saunas to its heated pool. Lincoln Sands Oceanfront Resort is the one hotel here with an outdoor pool, set beside a private beach area.
Lincoln City is a string of former villages along Highway 101 on the central Oregon coast, with about seven miles of sandy beach between Siletz Bay in the south and Roads End in the north. The D River, often cited as one of the shortest rivers in the world, runs from Devils Lake to the ocean in the middle of town. Kite flying, glass floats hidden on the beach and storm watching in winter give the city its rhythm.
Where to stay
Heated indoor pools facing the Pacific
On this stretch of the Oregon coast, the beach is for walking, tide pools and storm watching rather than swimming, so a warm pool is what lets you actually get in the water. Most hotels here pair it with a hot tub or a sauna, which helps after a windy day on the sand. The real choice is between an oceanfront hotel, where the pool comes with the view, and an inland one along Highway 101, closer to Devils Lake and the shops.
For a pool and the ocean together, three hotels lead. Pelican Shores Inn scores 9.2, the best rating on this page, with an indoor pool, direct private beach access and oceanfront suites with kitchenettes, plus breakfast and barbecue facilities. The Coho Oceanfront Lodge, rated 8.8, sits directly on Lincoln City Beach with a heated indoor pool, a hot tub, an on-site spa and studios with large picture windows over the Pacific. Surfland Hotel, rated 8.9, offers oceanfront views off Highway 101, a heated indoor pool, a hot tub and two saunas, a short walk from the Oceanlake shopping district.
Surftides Hotel is the most reviewed hotel on this list, with more than 2,600 reviews. It is beachfront, with balconies and ocean views, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna and an on-site restaurant, and it suits travellers who want a full-service stay on the sand. Lincoln Sands Oceanfront Resort, rated 8.7, is the exception to the indoor rule: its pool is outdoors, beside a private beach area, with a sauna and a hot tub, and some suites have balconies and separate bedrooms. I would keep that outdoor pool for the warmer summer days. At Surftides, the restaurant also delivers to the rooms.
Along Highway 101, a little back from the sand, the hotels are simpler but often pet-friendly. Inn at Wecoma has an indoor pool, a hot tub, pet-friendly rooms, a continental breakfast and a free weekend shuttle to Chinook Winds Casino, and it is about 1.5 miles from Devils Lake State Park. Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lincoln City has an indoor pool, a fitness center and pet-friendly rooms, with the beach about five minutes away. The Ashley Inn & Suites adds renovated rooms to its pool, hot tub and spa facilities. Holiday Inn Express rooms also include a microwave and a mini-fridge.
For families, the choice depends on how much space you need. Pelican Shores Inn suits families best, with suites that have kitchenettes, a pool indoors and the beach directly outside. Comfort Inn & Suites Lincoln City is described as ideal for families and couples, with a pool, a hot tub and pet-friendly rooms within walking distance of public beach access and the D River State Recreation Site, where kites fly over the sand. If you are travelling with a dog, Inn at Wecoma, The Ashley Inn, Holiday Inn Express and Comfort Inn all accept pets, which is useful on a coast built for walks.
A traveler's perspectiveI would choose by how close you want to be to the waves. For the best combination of pool, beach and rating, Pelican Shores Inn is my first pick, with kitchenettes for a longer stay. For a heated pool with saunas and ocean views, Surfland Hotel is the one I would book. With a dog, Inn at Wecoma keeps an indoor pool and pet-friendly rooms on Highway 101. In summer only, Lincoln Sands is worth it for its outdoor pool beside the beach.
