We've stayed here with our children before. This being our anniversary, I reserved a king single with a balcony. I had mentioned our anniversary to staff and when we arrived, we found not just a very nice room with a perfect view of Morro Rock but a lovely anniversary card waiting for us. As with prior stays, staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The building is in fine shape and parking is a snap. We'll be back.

Nice, clean comfy beds, Walking distance to the Embarcadero. Loved that the room had 2 separate bathroom counters with sinks, we didn’t have to take turns getting ready. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The free self-parking was convenient and they even had a windshield washing station. Our room had an unobstructed view of the rock. Will be staying here again!!

Totally serviceable and very affordable little hotel walking distance to the little Main Street of Morro Bay, the harbor, and the incomparable Morro Rock (about a mile and half to get all the way around to the sunset side of the rock, but totally worth it, and a great walk around morro bay with all the cute sea otters smiling at you!)
