“A Little off the beaten path but one of Morro Bay's Best”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

Pet Friendly and very nicely remodeled older hotel. You should know that this motel is probably one of the last hotels in Morro Bay while heading north toward Cayucos. It is right on Highway 1. Good news is you don't notice the traffic while inside the room. They have new showers and sinks. Shower pressure is awesome, except, when the... More

“Way more in Morro Bay”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

What a charming motel in the old tradition, park out front of your room. Welcomes dogs. Warm water pool. Good television reception, very clean, pleasant helpful staff/owners. We booked at the last minute via phone and were not disappointed when we arrived to see the location. We loved it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very happy that you enjoyed our new flat screen TVs, clean dog-friendly facilities, heated pool, and friendly staff during your recent stay with us. We hope that you will stay with us again during your next trip to Morro Bay! More

The rooms were decorated in a costal style complete with shell shaped soaps! The pool looked nice although it was too cold to swim. It was only a 5 minute drive to the bay... More

Great motel... You can even bring your dog! Great looking pool although it was still too cold to swim. Location is perfect without being in downtown Morro Bay. Great views of the beach and ocean.
