This was such a great little hotel. If I get to return to Morro, I will 100% stay here again!! Cute and clean. Staff was very helpful with our very late arrival. Only a couple block walk to The Rock and we had a nice view of it from our room. I think it was Room 310 (I'm writing this about 3 months after our stay). Easy to find and easy access back to the highway for your adventures elsewhere. We stayed here when we visited Hearst Castle.

The front desk staff was very friendly and check in was easy. There was ample parking and luggage carts available. We had an ocean view room which gave us a partial view of the water. The hotel was an easy walk to views of Morro Rock and there were lots of restaurants nearby. The room was very quiet and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
