“This motel benefits from a location close to the coast, providing sunset views from the hot tub during certain times of the year. Situated near a diner and seafood restaurant, it also offers proximity to Morro Bay and the elephant seals. While under new management with improvements, reports suggest that some guests have experienced issues with the front desk service and cleanliness of some of the installations.”
