The pictures on the site are misconceiving and the place is a complete dump. I was appalled at our room. After planning our 1-year anniversary in Morro Bay we were excited to stay in the 2-bedroom suite with full kitchen and private entrance. Seeing that my King is a Chef we thought this would be perfect for us. Unbeknownst to us upon arrival, there were no utensils, cookware, or flatware in the “suite”. We were told after checking in we had to bring our own. WHAT?!?! Bringing your own “stuff” is not industry standard. AND, that information should have been shared with me when I made the reservation, seeing that I was coming over 300 miles away. Oddly enough, we were then instructed to go down to the grocery store to purchase cookware if we really wanted to cook. The only reason we decided on this location was because it boasted of an amazing kitchen. Now, to add insult to injury: The carpets are filthy, there was no telephone in the room, there was no second bedroom (just a bed place in an open space with no door that looked like an old dining room), the bathroom was not remodeled (a slab of granite was sloppy laid down with pencil marks still on the wall from measuring), the alley way behind our room featured some super suspect activity, a broken lamp sat in the corner on the floor, the ironing board was broken, the toilet wasn’t clean, and to top it off the $100+ we spent on food had to stay in our cooler because the mini-refrigerator couldn’t accommodate it all. But what really pissed me off the most and the reason I even decided to write the review is that I requested the owner to contact me more than 4-5 times throughout our stay and Mr. “John” Patel to date still has not called, written, or emailed. Even at paying $253 for 2 nights, I wouldn’t pay $2.53 for 2 nights if I had to deal with a slumlord and such a sickening property. The only saving grace was the couple who checked us in was nice and the location was close to everything. But I am sure I could say that of the 15 other properties in the area. Again, DON’T WASTE YOUR $$$, STAY ELSEWHERE!

Hello,
We would like to respond to this guest review by first stating that we don't even advertise a 2 bedroom suite with FULL KITCHEN and PRIVATE ENTRANCE. We are not sure where this guest got their hotel information in regards to the hotel "boasting an amazing kitchen" from because it's not advertised on our website or any of our affiliates. The only way this room is rented is by phone reservations which are made directly at the hotel and it is clearly disclosed as a cottage with a kitchen and not a FULL kitchen. The reason why the cottage is not available for online booking is due to the fact that it is in high demand and usually out of inventory. As far as having pots and pans along with utensils, it is not an industry standard and is typically not provided in a hotel unless it is advertised as a FULL kitchen. Any guests requesting property information can visit our website which discloses correct and accurate hotel info.
Thanks
