Staff was welcoming, and check-in was easy. The hotel is right across from Morro Rock and we had a great view from our room. It is possible to walk to great restuants and Morro Rock from the property. There was plenty of parking avaliable. Room was no thrills but comfortable. It was possible to hear some noise from other rooms- conversations and the murmer of the TV.

There was no ice machine, no microwave. The owner was rude and disrespectful. Overall, the only good thing about the place was that moral Bay Rock was right across the street. And the surrounding businesses were wonderful.

I loves the ease of parking and the location. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure was good. Everything, as expected for the area, was older and not kept up as well as it should be. You could hear everything from outside and the rooms nearby, but luckily it's at the end, closer to the water, so there is less noise than other areas may have. The owner was sweet and takes great care of the plants and courtyard area. I love how easy he made late check-in. It is walking distance from food, shopping, and charters for fishing. Unfortunately late at night there were very loud people drinking in the parking lot, and because it's a dog friendly place there was some additional noise from dogs. Overall, I would stay there again if I needed to be in the area, I just wish the amenities were a little better.

We enjoyed our stay overnight. It was very convenient with plenty of parking. Very walkable to restaurants and the pier. They have a cute little patio and lounge area right in front where you can relax and observe all the comings and goings. Our room was on the ground floor next to the amenities/stock room and there were a lot of flies that seemed to have disappeared the next morning. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
