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.

Nice inn, great location, very clean, everyone was nice and helpful. We even had a seagull visit every morning as soon as we pulled the curtain. No parking on the weekend but plenty of street parking close by, so not an issue at all.

We had a great stay at La Serena Inn! It’s location is perfect for walking to nearby shops, restaurants, and the pier. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was clean - I’d only wish their beds had frames that covered the bottoms so things wouldn’t get lost under. That’s my only critique - otherwise I highly recommend!

This is our second stay. The room was clean and well appointed. The window pane needed changing as there was moisture inside (not that important because the view was of a parking lot). Also, the outlet on the wall with the TV (by the table) did not work which made doing the handiwork we always bring hard to do.
