This is a beautiful location where you hear sounds of seagulls and sea lions. The room is small but had everything I needed. It was self check in because the office is open for limited hours. We enjoyed breakfast at the small diner next door which fills up quickly at 7 am.

There was no AC. This should have been made clear in the amenities and I’m not sure that it was. While the weather tends to be cool the humidity is noticeable. No AC means open windows which means outside noise — people loud talking laughing interrupts sleep. Had to politely ask people to lower voices. TV remote didn’t work and limited cable channels. Otherwise, clean, quaint convenient to Morro Rock and bay.

Bad experience
The bedding was disgusting. There was hair all over it upon arrival. There was black mold in the shower. There was also an electrical issue in the bathroom and the lights would sputter randomly.

Great location
The location is great , out of the room and walk to the rock and to the strip of businesses . The room is small not a whole lot of space. Bed not too comfy but for a one night stay it was great spot for walking.

Overnight getaway
Nice stay, rooms are small but clean and comfortable bed. Nice outdoor area with lots of greenery. Very walkable to beach and Embarcadero. Cinnamon rolls in the morning from Frank and Lola's were really good. Pet friendly but you have to walk elsewhere for them to go potty. Very nice overall and family owned.
