When we arrived to our room there was no water in the toilet. We had to fill the toilet from our water bottles in order to flush the toilet. We finally figured out that the toilet water had been turned off. There was a strong antiseptic smell to the room and there were no towels. Breakfast was not as described on the breakfast menu for the week. During breakfast a homeless person came into the lobby with one shoe on and started rambling. No one was present at the check-in counter to handle this issue.

The location of the hotel is excellent, providing easy access to all the local attractions and amenities. The breakfast was also very good, with a nice variety of options to choose from. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Overall very pleased with my stay, Facilities were in excellent shape and the room was clean, quiet and had a great view of Morro Bay. Would definitely consider staying here again. Taking one star off because the bed frame made a loud banging noise in response to almost any movement and the staff was more than 30 minutes late opening for the breakfast on the last day of my stay. (Ended up eating next door at Carla's instead)

Our stay was not pleasant. We were given a room with a loud persistent hum. When we complained first , we were told it was the dryers and the cleaners would leave soon. When it didn’t stop we complained again at 5.30 and were told now that there the room was close to the electrical room and nothing could be done. We had a horrible night - the noise persisted all the time. Couldn’t sleep at all.

The front desk checked us in at 3pm and the room had not been cleaned so we had to wait as there was nothing else available. The ice machine did not work the entire time. There was no orange juice at the continental break fast any of the mornings. The bathtub in the room did not hold water so it was not possible to take a bath. The shower had very very low pressure so you were in there forever trying to wash soap off. The bed base clanged loudly and you could hear the people upstairs enjoying the bed. The baseboards and the floor in the entire room were very dirty and from what I can see were never cleaned the entire time we were there. The closet doors were not aligned properly and did not open and close smoothly. The pillows were half the size of normal pillows and we were only able to get one extra. I can not overstate how disappointed I was in the quality of the room for the price I paid. It was honestly the worst best western I have ever stayed at.

The location is great - it's an easy walk to a ton of restaurants and shops and even to Morro Rock. The motel itself was alright. I got there right at 3 and was put in a room that wasn't cleaned. Went back down to the office and was given a new room that didn't have any towels, soap, or other amenities. When I called down to the office, they made me come down to get everything rather than bring it up. That was disappointing. I understand things get a little hectic but it wasn't like I was checking in early and they weren't very apologetic. I will say the woman who works the morning shift and does the breakfast was wonderful and was busting her butt making sure there was plenty of food available for everyone - I really appreciated her! Overall, the place is decent but seemed a bit pricey for what you get.

The hotel was nice, clean and convenient for our stay. Unfortunately there were a few downsides which I felt let down the experience. When we arrived, we were given a room which still had guests in. Although quickly rectified, we weren’t the only ones checking in with issues. We had big issues with the shower. It was either freezing cold or scalding hot, with no in between so unfortunately, it was a cold shower or nothing. Finally, the air conditioning unit was a constant noise all night which wasn’t the most pleasant noise to try and sleep too. When going to check out the following morning, there was nobody at the desk to express some of our issues too. After waiting a few minutes, we left our key and departed. In summary, the hotel is nice enough, it’s just disappointing that we had the issues that we did as it spoilt our stay a little. Fortunately, we were just using it as a place to rest for the night rather than an extended period however I would have left for another hotel if we had booked more than one night.

This was a nice hotel to stay at. We didn’t have the view of the rock from our room but the other side of the hotel did. I liked the 2nd floor outdoor seating area. The outdoor seating area had enough furniture to sit on during breakfast. They have a small parking area but I didn’t have trouble finding parking in the lot. The beds we’re also comfortable.

The staff was wonderful and helped with our booking. The rooms have been updated and felt very clean. The view a little piece of Morro Rock which was a bonus. There is a parking lot with a popular breakfast and lunch spot right behind the room. The location is perfect and very walkable. We’ve stayed before and will stay again. The breakfast option is great when traveling with kids.
