This was a small motel somewhat dated. There wasn’t really a lobby. They offered earplugs at the small check-area, which made us curious. We found that the walls are thin and you could hear every move others made, especially above our room. The room was ok and worked for one night. No breakfast was offered. There was coffee in the room.

Comfortable beds and a surprisingly large refrigerator for a motel room. There was also in-room coffee, which is always appreciated, and a microwave which we never used. The room was a bit cramped, but we managed OK. If you’re driving a large vehicle you may find the parking lot cramped as well, though there is parking on the street. The room was also equipped with some “past their prime washcloths” under the sink which were intended for wiping up spills, a nice touch. The regular towels and washcloths were, of course, also provided and they were in fine shape. When we checked in our bathroom had about 1/3 or a roll of TP, and no backup roll. I went down to the front desk and got another roll, and thought that a backup would arrive with maid service the next day. It didn’t. It’s always good to have a full, fresh backup roll, so there’s an easy area for improvement. Overall it was a pleasant stay and we would stay there again.

The property was well cared for. It had lots of personal touches. It was not a 5 star resort but it was well maintained for a small roadside inn.

The biggest issue I take with this property is privacy. The window treatment leaves big room for snooping in, and the mirror inside the room was perfectly placed to allow an outsider to see inside. It felt very un-private. The entrance to the room was basically flat with outside. When it rained, it feels water was going to come in.

They canceled our reservation while we were en route due to our credit card being declined. The message said to call by 10:00 a.m. which we did, but they said they had already canceled and didn’t even give us a chance to use another card. We were forced to book another hotel which was way more expensive. Terribly rude and inconsiderate. We had stayed there before but never again.

Great hotel and affordable prices
I booked a room in this hotel for my parents and two friends, and they had a wonderful time there. They told me that it was a nice hotel, clean, well equipped bedroom and the people working there are really nice. They told me that I had to write a good review for them so here we are 😊

Clean rooms in a great location in Morro Bay. I haven't stayed in a hotel room this clean since before the pandemic. The beds are comfortable and the tvs have a good channel selection. I normally camp at the state park but we were passing through to Monterey and staying for the night. Yes they don't have AC but Morro Bay weather usually doesn't nake it necessary. We were in town on a hot day and we managed with just the box fan and don't hold it against the owners. The bathrooms in the rooms are nice and the water doesn't taste like pipes. Microwave and fridges in the rooms as well, really everything you need.
