The place was cute and the old man at the front desk was very hospitable and funny. Overall i give this place a 8.5/10 only because the walls were thin.

Easy to access the hotel outside check in hours. There is a lovely seating area out front and there really are bay views. You can see the Morro Rock when you step out of the property! Breakfast was a cinnamon roll each from the cafe next door. Would stay there again!

Nice location, but it is a motel. Very small room and bathroom. Dated.

This is a real hidden gem. Walking distance from the Embarcadero, amazing food next door, and the most friendliest people. I will be staying here every time I come back. A few rooms have a great view! But regardless of the view, it’s worth it.

This is a great location right on thw Embarcadero, and our room had a nice view of Morro Rock. The proximity to Fankie & Lola's is a plus, too, because their breakfasts are great. The room was a little cramped, and the bed a little too firm for my liking. It is a dog friendly hotel, and the biggest turn-off was our neighbor leaving their dogs mess (barf/poop??) outside our door. Not the hotel's fault, but...ick.

The rooms faced the ocean, and it was so cute. They're old so don't expect a brand-new hotel but for the price we were comfortable, warm and it came with cinnamon rolls! Parking is also easy and free.

One of the smallest rooms we’ve ever stayed in! Location is great, but the property could use to be updated/improved. The room was so tiny, it was difficult to get dressed.

Had a lovely stay. Staff was super friendly! Room was small but cozy and comfortable. Bed was very squeaky whenever you sat on the edge.but not to the extent that I couldn't handle the noise. Loved the room decorations ! Shampoo, conditioner, and soap were very nice. Towels were soft. Even gave us free cinnamon rolls every morning from the restaurant next door! So yummy ! Definitely will stay there again!

This is our favorite place to visit in Morro Bay -- we try to get there once or twice a year, and we've always had a great stay.
