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.

We stayed at this hotel for one night, choosing it for its reasonable price, included parking, and convenient location near major sightseeing spots. The check-in staff was kind and welcoming, offering helpful recommendations for dining and activities, which we appreciated as first-time visitors to Morro Bay. Our room was comfortable overall, though it did have a slightly musty smell; running the AC and opening the bathroom window helped. The space was functional with a desk, small couch, closet, and TV, and the bathroom was roomy enough with basic amenities provided. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Main Street where there are shops and restaurants. You can also walk to Morro Bay Beach but it's a bit farther. The hotel also offers a better-than-expected continental breakfast, with diy waffles, coffee, juices, and fresh fruit, which made for a pleasant start to the day.

Meh

We felt jerked around about the breakfast situation. We booked with it saying there was, then the website said there wasn't so we made other plans, and we got there and there was breakfast. They are phasing it out which is a negative for us. The rooms have no AC and the wall heater gives off great even when off. The pool is really a hot (warm) tub that clearly needs maintenance. That being said the front desk was friendly and nice but we won't be back.

The ceiling fan in the room didn't adequately cool off the room. It was over 85 degrees in the room at night and with the windows open. Last day people were making too much noise outside at 3am loading their car.

Enjoyable 3-day stay at Masterpiece Hotel

Generally speaking, our 3-day stay was very good. The service, cleanliness, location, ambience, etc. was excellent. However, the room was always hot during the day and evening. The hotel has no air conditioning in the guest rooms. Only a ceiling fan and patio door opening out to the balcony, which did not do much to cool the room. Consequently, we were very uncomfortable during most of the time we spent in our room, which faced the hot western sun. Only after the sun went down did we get some relief. A hotel of this caliber should provide some form of air conditioning in the rooms. Especially, since the main public areas of the hotel, including the halls, lobby and dining area were air conditioned. In addition, the continental breakfast was not as good as it should have been for a hotel of this quality. Somewhat limited variety of breakfast foods. The oatmeal also was not very good. One day it was too thick. On another day it was too thin, with excess water in it. I couldn't hardly eat it.
