The location was very good and just couple of mins walk to the morrobay deck. Room was clean, spacious, excellent bay view from the window. Only concern was, the mini fridge was not working and the coffee maker was not clean. I dint complain about that to the staff as I dint really use them. I definitely recommend this place.

Loved this place and would definitely want to stay again. It's walking distance to the waterfront where there's shops and restaurants. And walking distance from the rock and the beach if you don't mind a little stroll (less than a mile away). The property is clean and not outdated, parking is easy and convenient, the room is spacious and the staff is friendly.

We stay here every year and have been very pleased. This year it was a little warmer than normal but we used the air conditioner in our room and it was very comfortable. If you are looking for a nice clean quiet place to stay, this is the place and its so close to shopping and restaurants which is very convenient.

The room was clean, spacious and comfortable bed. The only "bad" observation is the limited parking, we got lucky because a guest was leaving at the moment we arrived. Very close to harbor area and it has a view of the morro rock. If you plan to check in late, call them. My husband and I forgot to do it and almost lost the room. After 10:30pm there is no help in the front desk.

Room was clean. Staff was helpful with my TV remote bc it wasn't working. The only thing is that the room smelled ok when you first get it but sitting in the room for a few hours you can start smelling the cigarettes' smell. I couldn't sleep because of only because of that it ending up being so strong. Like the room could use some airing out. Next time I will ask for non smoking room. I would stay here again! I loved it. Its just right across the street from everything. Only took less than 5 mins to walk to everything. Once you step out the hotel parking lot you can see ocean view. I didn't have a problem with parking. The shower was nice and warm.
