Walls too thin. Could hear and feel person above snoring. Asked for a different room. They said they had none. Didn’t give a refund. Had to check in to the hotel next door which was much quieter and thicker walls.

Mediocre in Morro

It appears there are dozens of similar motels in Morro Bay to choose from. This one lacks towel racks in the bathroom and no closets, with not a single hangar for your clothes. The furniture is worn out and falling apart. It's ok for a night or two but don't expect much. On the plus side, saw hummingbirds from the room's small balcony. Low occupancy meant plenty of parking.
