Staff was welcoming, and check-in was easy. The hotel is right across from Morro Rock and we had a great view from our room. It is possible to walk to great restuants and Morro Rock from the property. There was plenty of parking avaliable. Room was no thrills but comfortable. It was possible to hear some noise from other rooms- conversations and the murmer of the TV.

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!

Amazing location. Right across the street from the water. Great places to eat. View of the ocean and Morro rock. The room, well… The room was on the second floor. It had some soft spots on the floor and it was outdated and a little dirty. Only one room cleaning available per stay. Better that sleeping in your car.
