8.4/10 Very Good! (1,488 reviews)
Our room was way too small and I was less than pleased with the amenities charge, especially since there wasn’t even a pool. Staff was exceptionally nice.

8/10 Very Good! (1,003 reviews)
Pros: good price, nice staff, separate bedroom, very close to the boardwalk and beach, free parking/availability, fridge, microwave, allow pets, good plumbing/hot water. Cons: paper thin walls, uncomfortable beds (can feel the springs), bad WiFi, cheap towels & bedding. It’s definitely a 2-3 star motel but if you’re traveling on a small budget, you’ll appreciate it.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)
We enjoyed this property for the most part. I expected the restaurant in the hotel to feel more like a traditional restaurant, but it often felt empty, like no one was really there eating or serving. They also stop serving food at 10am, don’t start again until 4pm, and close at 10pm. It’s not a big deal since there’s a great spot to eat just 5 minutes away and plenty of options within a short drive. My only other complaint is that our room wasn’t cleaned some days, or if it was, it happened very late, one of my pet peeves. That said, the room itself was nice, and sitting by the river was absolutely wonderful.

In Morro Bay just take Main street all the way past the Black Hill golf course and that beautiful area is Morrow Bay State Park. Best views of Morrow Rock and a great place for a picnic. I nice little maritime museum as well.
