Morro Bay and central coast splendor

Beautiful view of Morro Rock our happy place! 3rd floor via stairs but good exercise! Room was spacious and comfortable within walking distance many places and a short ride to others. We love the area and short rides to many attractions or places to see.

Good for the price. Nothing fancy

Nice place for the price within walking distance to everything. Only negative is the birds we had room 12 and you could hear the seagulls constantly walking all across the roof and it was very noisy. Thought it was something worse until we looked out side. Kind of kept me up since it went on all night.

It was a nice stay. Some recommendations would be… more sets of towels if they are not going to refresh each day, we had to go to office each day to get towels. Also if you book ocean view room, it should be listed that you need to go up 3 flights of stairs.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When I booked the room online, the room information on the room i picked it said in the details it was assessable. In which I thought it meant handicap assessable. When I got there to check in i was told it wasn't and i had to contact the property Mangement for that. They gave me a room upstairs, no railing to hold on to, very difficult to get up there because of bad back. Then last night when i came in around 10:30pm after fireworks. My keys won't work. So I had to go to the management ring the night bell, For about 20mins before she came out and gave me new keys. the room was clear, the property/motel rundown and needs attention. I was not Happy!

This place was clean and had really comfortable beds. The cottage with three queen beds was perfect for our family of five. We only stayed one night as we were just traveling through the area. The kitchette would have been nice to use had we stayed longer.
