This was such a great little hotel. If I get to return to Morro, I will 100% stay here again!! Cute and clean. Staff was very helpful with our very late arrival. Only a couple block walk to The Rock and we had a nice view of it from our room. I think it was Room 310 (I'm writing this about 3 months after our stay). Easy to find and easy access back to the highway for your adventures elsewhere. We stayed here when we visited Hearst Castle.

The hotel was an easy walk to views of Morro Rock and there were lots of restaurants nearby. The room was very quiet and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.

Staff was great. Room could use a couple touch ups and cleaning on patio. Fire place freaked us out a bit because there was no shut off button. Just one to turn it on but the fire wouldn't go out completely. Location is great too.
