I have never written a hotel review but I feel strongly compelled to do so today. The photos and description are very misleading. You cannot see the beach from the property or any water at all. There are buildings and a mobile home park in the way. It’s at least a quarter mile walk to see the shores on a narrow dusty road then another 15-20 min walk to access to public beach. Not worth the walk. I didn’t see anyone walk to the beach from the motel. We are literally 20 yards from the freeway entrance! Very noisy at night and difficult to sleep. The court with water fountain and fire pit face the freeway and not relaxing at all. Only one hand towel and one tinybar of soap in the room on arrival. Bath towels, shampoo, wash clothes and extra soap were on request. The managers are a couple and their daughter and they struggle mightily with English and Spanish.Poor water pressure in shower. Our room had old carpet, furniture and fixtures. Hasn’t been upgraded in years. The fridge was removed from the TV stand and not put back, I guess to have somewhere to put the coffee maker and microwave. Six oz cup coffee maker. Ver cheap toilet paper and facial tissue. It’s not worth the $250 a night we paid. You’re better off at motel 6. No joke.

This is a nice, no frills place to spend a night. It is, however, neither close to the seashore or to the restaurant district of Morro Bay. The room and bed were clean and slept well. There is no breakfast, or even coffee. What's in the room is what you get.

Terrible experience and don’t book through booking.com or there will be no recourse. - Key cards didn’t work - Bathroom door didn’t lock - Leg on table was broken - Shower rod was bent. Wouldn’t hold curtain closed - Safety bar in shower came off the wall - Lightbulb was out - Coffee machine was disgusting. The only saving grace was that the beds weren’t bad and it was walking distance to the beach.

Morro Shores was excellent and an excellent value. Close to the beach and Morro Rock. Fireplace in the room was a nice addition. Perfect for our little dog!! When my husband forgot his hat they mailed it to us that very day! Love Morro Bay and Montana de Oro. Will be back!!!

This is a relatively cheap hotel. The room is spacious, and the check in and out was quick and friendly. The bed was not comfortable, needs to be changed. The look is dated. The shower wasn't the best. And the fire alarm in our room started ringing in the middle of the night because the batteries were low. So they simply took it out.

Stayed for one night and would not again. It is a motel with no frills beside an old Motel 6, maybe was part of it at one stage. Had laundry facility which we used. About a 20 minute walk to the beach passed very industrious scenery! Had to get UBER back from town later in the evening. I would choose better next time. It was clean and not very expensive.

First - they will NOT allow you to check in a minute before 3pm - without looking at the reservation, simply "the rooms aren't ready yet" They don't give you an internet access code unless you specifically ask for it. Room was marginal - but the noise from other occupants was terrible. Next door there is a dog barking because their owners went out without them - several people two doors down sitting outside the room talking and joking loudly (9:30pm) - sounds like a soccer game is being played upstairs (thud thud thud - silence - thud thud thud back) - 1/2 of a parking spot available (spots are so tight every one ends up squeezing left to allow room, taking up part of the next parking space) - no other spaces left - luckily the sounds of the road drowns out some of the occupant noise (freeway on-ramp) Oh - did I mention the TV doesn't work..... Almost worth throwing away the nights rent to move to another hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE

The location of this hotel is great; the rooms are basic but clean. Other people had to go to the front desk to obtain the extra blanket that was supposed to be in the room. I was third in line, to obtain a hair dryer - which I got after about 10 minutes of searching for one, but with instructions not to use it on anything but the low setting. My problem with this hotel is the booking process. I am not an inexperienced traveller, and I was on the hotel's website, but during the booking process was redirected to hotelvalues.com My room charges were high for this type of hotel, but I expected them because of the high demand due to the Cal Poly SLO graduation. I did NOT expect to pay Tax Recovery Charges & Service Fees the equivalent of a third room night! In total I paid more than $1,000 for two nights...payment in full at the time of booking, no refunds. I thought the hotel was getting scammed so advised the guy at the front desk, but he only asked me to send an email to his manager, and when asked he would not provide me with the manager's name, just the email address. Upon check out I asked for a copy of my folio and all line items just said "Prepaid"...when I asked for a detailed breakdown, I was told to get it from booking.com

If I could give no stars I would! Booked a room through booking.com for the price of $353. Upon entering the room I noticed the room definitely did not meet standards. Not only was there black mold on the walls, but the mini fridge was absolutely disgusting. Clearly cleanliness is highly disregarded! I spoke with a woman at the front desk and explained to her the severity of the situation and she offered no solution other then an email address, I was to send my complaint to. I explained to her I wanted a full refund for the room due to the fact that I would be no longer be staying at an establishment that so obviously disregards any type of cleanliness and proper sanitation protocols. She refused to give me a refund and told me to contact booking.com, because the room was booked through them there was nothing she could do. I asked for managements name she wouldn't give it to me, I asked for her name she wouldn't give it to me. I call booking.com to file a complaint and try to get a refund and was told that the hotel denied the dispute and there was nothing they can do as far as taking care of the refund. If booking.com does business with theses types of establishments they should share some form of responsibility when it comes to customer complaints. Especially when sending over proof of the matter. The health department needs to come out and do a thorough inspection on this nasty place!

We booked this hotel on Expedia because it was the cheapest in the area and looked decent for the price. When we checked into the room, it was nothing like the pictures. It was so out dated, they never put any money into this place. It smelled so bad I had a headache once I left. We were also scammed out of the room we book and "management" was trying to force us to pay again for a room we already paid for. She refused to give us the room we paid for and said we had to pay more for the room we already paid for. We asked for a refund because it was so dirty and disgusting, but she said "you can try to get your money back, but you won't." I ended up calling my bank and telling them how these people lied about the quality of the rooms on the website and took our money 💰 Expedia was no help when we reached out to them about the terrible dirty rooms 😒. I'm disappointed in Expedia and their customer service. I won't be booking with Expedia again. They do not care about customer service. Avoid this scam of a place. The rooms are nothing like the pictures they are 100× worse than they look. It's smells, it's dirty and once you check in they got your money and credit card info so its too late and they will make it hell for you to get your money back. Gross.. almost ruined my vacation!
