Do NOT believe the reviews about the motel rooms being clean! My standards were low, but the room was beyond filthy and THE... SMOKE DETECTOR WAS REMOVED, which I will be reporting that to the proper agency. Moldy ceiling and walls in the bathroom. Thebest part about this room is that it's across the street from a market that sells sanitizing wipes. Every surface I wiped wascovered in grime like they hadn't been cleaned in months - the tables, light switches, door handles, the doors, the walls, theshower. The comforter was not washed and I'm really hoping those stains were from food. The giant crusty, bloody booger stuck onthe wall was a nice touch. I've stayed in some rundown places, but there's no excuse for this level of cleanliness and safetyissues. Reply to Owner response: I did not bring these issues up during my two night stay, nor should I have to bring basiccleanliness or safety to an employee's attention. These are minimum expectations and it's up to management to ensure they aremet, it's not the paying customer's responsibility to work as quality control. For your insight, during my visit I wasattending a family event a few minutes away, and only slept and showered in the room. I spent roughly 14 hours there,approximately 2 hours while awake.

We used to eat at the Tyee every time we came to town, several times a year. But this year the food was not up to expectations... from the past. The fish pieces were small and the French fries were cold and under-cooked. The chicken fried steak wasgrislily. The baked potato was cold and we were charged for the extras for a loaded potato. I doubt we will be back. Servicewas friendly and good in the bar. Benches need new padding. Read more
I have gone into the Tyee restaurant & bar frequently over the past 2 years. Service & food have been superb. Prices r good... too! But, this evening, I had, yet another bad experience w/a bartender I will not name here, to protect her privacy. She washostile to me (as usual). She is an exception to the wonderful employees at Tyee! Everyone else there has been nothing butoutstanding, friendly, & darn good at what they do. And I have done nothing but tip the aforementioned person generously---Iworked in resturants my whole life. I know how to tip and how to be a polite customer! (If I took a dislike to a customer, Ihid it. Then again, I probly never had hostility to a customer-- cuz it was the customer who mostly paid me!). I am sorry tohave to report the above. It's possible this bartender is not well. If that's the case, I truly am sorry. But, geez, I'd liketo be able to feel my presence is not making the bartender angry. I am polite. I would never harm a flea. I will likely notgo back to Tyee because of her hostility towards me this evening--- despite how lovely the majority of bartenders thereare---not to mention the fish & chips rivals Toby's----in my humble opinion. Again, I worry that she is not well. In thatcase, I am very sorry & sympathetic. I do not want to cause any more pain, if that is what's going on here. Thank yousincerely.

I've never had a room but the restaurant is great. It has a family friendly vibe, home meal choices that are delicious, as well... as classic and special treats. My go to.... Deep fried mushrooms and an Arnold Palmer. Read more

The restaurant should be shut down. My husband and I ate there last week after going to every other restaurant in Coupeville,... only to find them full. The Tyee Cafe was nearly empty, and I understand why. I ordered the Tyee Cafe's supposedly famous liverand onions. My liver arrived heavily charcoaled on the outside and raw on the inside. The server sent it back when I showed her.She asked the cook what he wanted to do. He yelled back to her to tell us to order something else. I ordered a Reuben. Thesandwich arrived and it too was heavily charcoaled. After two beers and two glasses of wine, we'd had enough and vowed never toreturn. Read more
Only went to the restaurant but the lady serving us was very kind even though my family came 10 minutes before closing. Very... good fish and chips. Read more
