Great Place to Stay

We were welcomed by a very nice and friendly desk clerk. The room was exceptionally clean and modern. This is the nicest place we have stayed in Morro Bay. We will certainly return. The two downsides were that the wi-fi was too slow to stream a movie and the seagulls pooped all over our car!
