View of Morro Rock. Very clean. Mattress was old & really sagged on my side. Our room wasn’t cleaned during our 2night stay, which was surprising. Motel is old, but taken care of. Adequate parking in their lot.

The room was clean and quaint. The heater worked great, and while there was no AC, the ceiling fan and box fan kept things comfortable. The bathroom and shower were clean and well-maintained. The rooms are small, but perfect for one or two people—three would fit, but it would be a bit snug. The location is great, within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and coffee spots. The lady at the front desk was very kind and friendly.

OLD, boring room. $160/ for four walls and a shower handle that wouldn't stay in place. Nothing "wrong", just nothing. A simple, relatively clean room...no mas.

Room is fine, clean & neat. I overlooked that AC was not available so it was a little of an unwelcome surprise but I’m sure it’ll be fine once the room cools off.
