Nice spacious room
Tera, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mediocre in Morro

It appears there are dozens of similar motels in Morro Bay to choose from. This one lacks towel racks in the bathroom and no closets, with not a single hangar for your clothes. The furniture is worn out and falling apart. It's ok for a night or two but don't expect much. On the plus side, saw hummingbirds from the room's small balcony. Low occupancy meant plenty of parking.

It's been a long time since we've stayed at the Fireside - and it's much improved, since then. No complaints, whatsoever.

Needs TLC to get 3 starts

The staff were polite and helpful, though one night stay. The room was spacious but in serious need of updates. Paint peeling off the very inexpensive furniture. No freezer in the fridge and the toilet was not secured to the floor.
Deanna, 1-night trip

Everything was great and my family was very happy

10/10 Exceptional

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!
