Positive Reviews
positive:
Popular location near the beach
Guests liked being a short walk from the beach; pedestrians in particular appreciated not having to cross the highway to get there. Motorists welcomed the location just off California State Route 1 and there were gas stations nearby. There was reportedly easy access to the heart of Morro Bay for seafood restaurants, attractions and shopping.
positive:
Affordable yet clean, comfy and modernized
The rooms were basic but more than adequately clean and comfortable for a shorter stay, according to many reviewers. Admirers liked the remodeled accommodation for its bright decor, laminate floors and, in some rooms, scenic views. Many visitors felt they got decent value considering the rates were affordable and there were perks like the pet-friendly policy and free parking. However, some reviewers who paid a premium to stay during peak periods questioned whether they got good value for money considering there was no breakfast or toiletries other than soap. There were also claims from some quarters of small rooms or cramped bathrooms.
