Everything very nice with a few exceptions. The hairdryer wasn’t working, and one of the two lamps was not working. There were no convenient outlets to plug devices in. The staff was very nice and the room very pleasant.
The staff were friendly and polite. All three of them that I communicated with were informative and helpful in helping us with suggestions to restaurants. Parking was convenient and overall, the hotel was very clean.
My wife and I stayed here for our wedding anniversary and it was perfect! The room was clean, the view was amazing, staff was friendly, we were walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We had an amazing time! We will book here again!
Super clean, cute small lobby, clean rooms, working elevator, free parking. Comfortable and clean beds, toiletries included, cute little details that add to the Morro Bay chill vibes. For example, they have a free little library and reading area if that's your vibe.
Wasn't too warm but room did have a stale smell maybe air filter needed to be replaced. Slept with sliding door open had slider screen enjoyed the cool nights.
Very little view, tile counter in bathroom is sharp, sharp metal trim piece in closet almost cut our foot, no contental breakfast provided as said it would, very disappointed

After booking i learned at arrival that the complementary breakfast waa canceled. Then while there the complementary lobby coffee was canceled disappinting
Awesome staff and very knowledgeable about the area. Clean rooms and cute deck area with a view if the rock. Covered parking. Centrally located and walking distance to restaurants and bars. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
15 kids running down the halls in middle of night. No staff working to address issue. I tried stopping them. But no one to correct it at lobby desk.
Also the balcony isn’t a real balcony. No room for chairs or place to sit.
Clean room, professional, helpful, friendly staff. Reasonable rates. Though they did cut out the free breakfast offering, which I miss & hope they bring back.
Place is clean and spacious in a good location. They discontinued breakfast which was a bit if an inconvenience because I didn’t have the time to get breakfast elsewhere. I booked through expedia and it currently says breakfast is included. Not sure if expedia is to blame or the hotel. Had I known breakfast was not an option, I would have planned accordingly.
Our stay was great but they did not offer breakfast, not even continental. And they didn’t have coffee put out till after 8:30 am. But, we slept great on the bed and had a great view.
Awesome location, very clean and nice rooms with balcony and view of ocean (the rooms we had). Price was very reasonable as well. Walking distance to the Embarcadero. We had 3 rooms in total, all 3 were great.
Everyone was amazing!! Room #310 was spacious, few, balcony. Clean, close to the cute little breakfast room and veranda with view of Morrow Rock. Close walk to the liquor store and so much more, restaurants, shopping, The Siren🎶🎶. I frequent then area but never stayed there. We will be back. I'm a 25 yr hotel operations veteran, they do a great job there. SueB
We love this quaint, sweet place. We have been staying here for years. The staff is always phenomenal! The breakfast used to be such a wonderful addition. We are sad to see that change. We will still choose La Sarena when we visit Morro Bay!
We stayed here because in the past it had a great breakfast, clean room, convenient location, and friendly staff. Everything is the same and great except for the breakfast. There was oatmeal and bad fruit. That was such a disappointment because the breakfast was why we chose this location over others.
