This place is pretty bare bones. No Kleenex, no ice bucket, no drawers, no closet. 132 sq ft. No light in the shower.Had to go down to the office to ask for more coffee etc not filthy but not super clean. It did have a pretty nice bed if you like firm temperpedic. it IS conveniently located and walking distance to many fine restaurants and the free cinnamon rolls are pretty damn good but if I were to go back to Morro Bay I would try someplace different

Not What I Expected. Disappointing Stay. The view was lovely, but that’s where the charm ended. The photos online were misleading. What looked sleek and modern turned out to be shabby and neglected. The room reeked of cheap disinfectant (think nursing home vibes), and there was no closet, just a random bar and shelf. The bathroom vent was clogged with lint, which isn’t ideal for someone with asthma. The manager handed me a vacuum to clean it myself. So... service? Beware of paying upfront; I did, and I was told there were no refunds, even after I complained. At least I didn’t get bed bugs, so that’s a win?

It’s not for everybody, but the staff was great. Older small room. But price and location fit the bill. I’d stay again. We’re not to picky on rooms as long as they are clean. Picture is my wife putting the drape back on the rod that was unhooked. Very minor issue we found humorous.

The man that runs this property is a very sweet and friendly gentleman, eager to make sure each guest is happy, comfortable, and treated with respect. He seems to truly care about each and every guest through his door, a rarity in this day and age. Guests aren't just a number here and that proved he has great customer service here. Lovely sitting area out front!

The location is very good being right across from the T-Pier. The room didn't have any chair or table so I had to sit on the bed. There are many patio furniture in the patio so you could sit out there but it was foggy and cold. The room didn't feel particularly clean, especially the bathroom. The shower stall looked like it needed deep cleaning. The Keurig coffee machine was nice but there was no hair dryer. There was no dead bolt on the door.
