The room was good, the view was good, the breakfast was decent. It was stuffed croissant rolls, apples, oranges, oatmeal, with juice, and coffee. I arrived 5 mins after they closed at 9pm, and the night manager was extremely fast at coming to the property to get me checked in. In my room was a gas fireplace, so if youbhave little ones just know the pilot flame stays on all the time. So keep an eye on yoir littles so they dont put anything into the fireplace or their little hands. I try to stay here, but they do not allow animals. So when i travel with my dog, i will staybat their sister property down the street called La Serena, which is also cheaper. But still a very nice hotel to stay at.

Our room was situated downstairs, so there was some foot traffic on the room above us which was to be expected... However, the lady in the front office had a very sour attitude and was abrupt when asked for more napkins at the morning breakfast. Not the kind of person a property needs to be greeting guests aa they arrive.. left a bad taste in my mouth. However, i did see her perk up when speaking to a male guest.. interesting..

Worst hotel experience in morro bay.

This trip with masterpiece hotel started as a problem days before we even got there. I was trying to pay with an online card, and they ran the wrong card. When we get there, the lady at the front desk isn’t nice but isn’t rude. She wasn’t very happy with having to give us an upgrade because she could not find our reservation I had booked a month before. Our room had hair all over the bathroom, and there was still trash on the floor. The spa in the bottom basement was filthy, it literally had dirt in the bottom of the spa. The water was green and did not smell like chlorine at all. There was dangerous building materials outside of the balcony. I got a rash from God knows what. Honestly, I should’ve stayed at Motel six. We were looking forward to staying here for years and it was very disappointing. I hate giving bad reviews, but this was probably one of my worst stays anywhere.

The property in itself is unique. So much detail in the rooms. The spa is large, indoor and unique with pillars and tile. Free parking and free breakfast is a must for us when we stay somewhere, so we're happy it has both of these! Very close to the bay. Clean and very spacious rooms. Gym and sitting area for 24 hour coffee.

Well, it was one of our favorite places to stay because we love the roman spa. However, this time we both had a horrible allergic reaction, burning eyes, sneezing, coughing, and itchy. The spa was much greener than we have ever seen it. I know that it was the spa because after we showered it diminished. When I told the front desk they said they were sorry but it gets checked every hour so its fine. We also had a very rude greeting by a woman who was obviously getting off of a long day. Her words to us were someone will be with you in a mooment, no eye contact - no smile - no anything other than she was obviously ready to go home. Also the wine and cheese reception is no longer which is a bummer, and the breakfast was missing the nutella.- minor but since I was writing the review, I thought I would include it. We also requested a room looking out to the rock and paid for that , but did not receive it and the response was - I don't know who said that but your room is here and we cant change that.

Ended up leaving, room smelled like sewer. Asked to change rooms none available. Front desk receptionist was so rude improffessional. Giving short answers and was no help. Admitted room smelled like sewer and did not know why?? Why would you even rent out room if this has not been adressed or fixed. Just an "Cant figure out why???" Would never say ever again. Someone so rude should not be the first person you encounter checking in.
