The Landing at Morro Bay

The Landing at Morro Bay

8/10 Good
"GREAT location. The stairs to the Embarcadero are across the street next to Dorn’s- good breaky. Easy walk into the main town shops, as well. The property is very well maintained. The room was a little smaller than expected but it served our needs and had a modern, remodeled bathroom, which was lovely. There was a portable air unit that wasn’t to be used with a sign on it in the room, though they had mounted AC that worked very well. We also had an electric fireplace in the room but we tried it a few times and it didn’t work. Finally, there was no lighting in the kitchenette, which is also where the closet and full sized mirror were located. It was unusually dark over there so I had to leave br light on and the door open when using the kettle. A major plus was friendly staff and a fall/halloween decorated lobby with snacks for purchase. A partial view of the ocean and a fire pit made this place stand out, too. Great deal for the price!"
