“Wonderful week in Morro Bay!”
+The room was large and very well appointed. Great shower! Comfortable beds and chairs plus a little kitchenette with a table and stools. Breakfast was small fresh muffins, hot coffee or tea, and granola bars. Perfectly adequate. The views of the bay are the main attraction - they’re outstanding,
−It couldn’t have been better - it was already perfect.

“Quiet, pleasant.”
+The bed felt comfortable, the room was clean and well laid-out. The neighborhood felt friendly and welcoming. The host was helpful and attentive.
−I was on the 1st floor, so it did not feel exactly private. But it worked. The mattress: much too tall, making the covers too short. I don't see the point of the mattress being so tall. Unnecessary, IMO.

“Excellent location, but noisy air condition”
+The location is excellent, really ocean front and at the edge of downtown. The facility is clean and the room is spacious. The in room coffee tastes good.
−The day we arrived was the hottest day in Morro bay. The outside unit of air condition of next room was noisy and on and off through the evening, bothering our sleep.

“Comfortable room with a wonderful view!”
+The room was very comfortable with an amazing view of Morro Bay Harbor. Our room had a balcony with chairs to enjoy the ocean breeze and was well appointed with fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. We also had wine glasses in the room which was a lovely touch along with the complementary wine splits they gave us. Very nice stay. Great location!
−The office was closed most of the time we were there. This was only a minor inconvenience because we were able to go the office of the sister property across the street for questions and assistance.

“The perfect hidden gem”
+This place is definitely a hidden gem and everything is beautiful and perfect they even go above and beyond with the tiniest details.
−The only downside would be the later check in the front office doesn't even open for check-in until 3:30.

+החדר גדול מרווח מעוצב נעים, הנוף אגדי. אם מחפשים מקום ללינה בלבד זה מושלם. אוכל צריך למצוא מחוץ למלון (וזה קל כי המיקום מרכזי)
