I booked the room through expedia, and expedia had collected the hotel fee from my card right after my booking , but the hotel charged me again after I checked out,I don’t know the fact if they had got the payment from expedia in advance, it’s totally not professional as a hotel system. Fortunately I saw my card statement one day and found this problem, then I called them and asked for refund back.

I definitely enjoyed the practicality of this location! I’ve stayed at other places in Morro Bay and this one has definitely been the best location due to it being in the semi middle of everything and being able to walk everywhere! And it was quiet, clean, and everyone was friendly.

Clean but needs an update.

This is a nice hotel, great location. We stay here everytime we visit Morro Bay. Our room was clean but it could use new carpet. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom is clean but could definitely use an update. The breakfast you get waffles, oatmeal, boiled eggs, cereal and toast. Oh yea coffee, juice, and milk. I heard the are going to get rid of breakfast and do a wine tasting thing. I think I would prefer the breakfast. Overall it's a nice place, clean, staff is friendly but again it really could use an update
