The room was small but well appointed. Small refrigerator and microwave. Nice shower. We are informed there was no air conditioning but the open window and ceiling fan made it a comfortable temperature. A box fan was stored in the closet if we needed.

If i could give zero stars i absolutely would. Unfortunately I didnt read the yelp reviews on this place before staying here. Booked the room for 6 days. Long story short, the bed was dirty and hadnt been made, the bathroom was disgusting (fecal matter on the toilet seat and something all over the sink and mirror), towels on the floor and toilets. Oh and there was also a cat in the room. As soon as the office opened in the morning ( we were not able to sleep in the room obviously) i went in and talked to the older lady at the front desk who was extremely rude/hostile. She admitted the maid didnt clean the room because it "wasnt on her list". I asked for a full refund and a receipt and she said she couldnt do that and that they were going to charge me for the first night even though nothing but a chair was used for a couple of hours. Theres a lot more i could add but thats the gist of it. Save your momey, this place is absolutely terrible.

Love Seagulls then this is you place!

Big trucks in parking made it impossible to park. No air conditioning but did find day two a fan which also blocked out the sound of the sea gulls which were no joke noisy all night. If you just need a place to sleep and close to water then probably okay.

The Morro Crest In. Was the best wonderful suprise of our road trip! The front desk was kind and helpful, the room was the best in our opinion! Quiet at the end on the upper floor with a beautiful view of the sunset and Morro Beacb rock. The room was so clean- remodeled and still classic. The bed was the best rest all trip. We will be back! So much natiural beauty to explore close by too❤️🐬

This was such a cute, small adorable motel! The price was right and the location even better. Cute room, nice shower, comfortable bed (mini shampoo/soaps). I liked that there was a table with 2 chairs, a ceiling fan and dimmable light. The parking was tiny, but it worked! Super friendly staff. Easy check in and out. Will definitely stay again.
