“The Anchor Inn is now a Travelodge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

My coupon option was $35 plus $10 for a Friday evening. That worked out to about $51. The hotel is an older place. There are now Travelodge signs draped over the Anchor Inn so it appears this location is becoming part of the Wyndham chiain of franchised motels.

For the money I got everything I want. A queen sized bed, a small refrigerator. A kitchen sized microwave. The only thing I don't like is the 10x12 inch electric heater that's up on the wall. We came here in December and it does the job. There's no A/C or swimming pool. No problem.

The motel appears to be well remodeled. There's new windows and reasonably new beds. Our room was very small but is freshly painted and the bathroom is alright too. No bathtub but it has a stand up shower that's more than big enough for two to share.

Room Tip: We got our HotelCoupons.com coupon book from McDonalds.

“Not your best 'coupon option' ...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

We had a coupon for offering $39.95 / night. After checking out a nearby option that was very dicey, we settled on this one, but the manager hiked the price by $5 for some reason not readily apparent on the coupon ... something like this being their 'summer rates'. Rather than fight it, I aquiesced, but let's just say that it didn't leave a good first impression. The rooms, despite being off the main drag, had little sound protection from the street noise and the area was run down. The breakfast was the worst of the continental offerings we'd had on the trip.
I kept wishing we'd looked at one or two more options and found a nicer place. This one depressed me, even at $51 on a week night.

Room Tip: just don't ....

“Avoid this hotel....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed in this hotel for one night. Could not wait to leave. Hotel is a dump! Rooms are very dirty and smelly with mold and Indian food. Walls are thin as paper, snoring from next door kept me awake all night. Mattress like a board. No heat or air in rooms. No soap or shampoo either. Hotel staff very rude and unfriendly. After I complained manager yelled at me instead of apology. On top of that hotel management are dishonest and thieves, charged me double rate. I had to contest it with credit card company. Fortunately I had document from booking agent of agreed rate.
STAY AWAY from them!

“Small rooms but clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

Nothing fancy but a good spot to stay while visiting the area. Rooms are clean and very affordable for a few days stay while wine tasting in the Paso Robles area. Great location to waterfront.....

“Total Disaster”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My family visits morro bay every year and out of all the hotels we have stayed in this one was the worst. The room was musty, the bathroom cabinet door was hanging on one hinge, There was a drippy ozzy substace smeared all over the curtains right by the bed, the bed sheets were not washed one bed still had crumbs in it, the carpet and the shower looked like they were from the 70's, the family joked if you looked hard enough you would have seen the chalk outline in the carpet. We even took pictures to prove to the rest of our family how bad this place was. In the future we'll sleep in the car before we stay here again.

Room Tip: Just dont do it! period!
