“Watch sunset a few steps from your room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

The Spyglass Inn is directly on the ocean, off Hwy101. The small outside pool hours were 9am - 9pm. Had booked via expedia, room was not oceanview but quite nice, spacious, decorated with marine theme, large flat screen, pleasant toiletries. The hotel is close to 101, and there is some minor street noise discernable when outside. There were apples at reception :) no coffee or tea however.

Parking is free. Breakfast extra, available for 5.95$ per person in the restaurant adjacent.

Room Tip: Book through Expedia

“Locals enjoying the view!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

We just wanted a little get away...front desk got us into our room a little early, which we so appreciated. Even though we spent most of our stay outside on the balcony enjoying the wonderful view, the room was very clean and comfortable. We left to go to our favorite breakfast joint after checkout and noticed that the restaurant was serving breakfast. Went back and relaxed with a yummy omelet and even yummier Bloody Mary! Highly recommend the Spyglass Inn!

“Birthday weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here for my husband's birthday weekend. Our room had a great oceanview, a comfortable bed and a fireplace. Even though we were told check-in was at 4:00pm, we arrived at 2:00 and were allowed into our room. Good "Happy Hour" in the restaurant that night. The next morning we had the breakfast special which was delicious. Another plus-dog friendly. So our dog "Boris" was allowed to join us. This place is also close enough to have lunch in Morro
Bay and check out the butterflies at Monarch Butterfly grove.

Room Tip: Ask for an oceanview room. You won't be disappointed.

“Great location very very average in every other way”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

Just stayed here for Christmas. Room had great view. Sat on the chair on the balcony and it broke, I am not fat btw. Bathroom was depressing small and very 70s. I booked online and was told check in was 3 pm, we arrived at 3 and room was not ready and we were told check in was 4. Had breakfast in the restaurant, it's hard to get oatmeal wrong, but they did. And they didnt have soya milk. The waitress seemed genuinely unhappy to be there. I would not recommend Spyglass. Management have obviously decided that because they have a great location, they can not bother with any other standards. POOR.
