Pros:

Close to downtown. Room was large.

Cons:

Room was not in the main hotel, but across the street. Room felt dated and always smelled musty no matter how much we aired it out. Also set over parking garage so could hear people talking, doors slaming at all hours. Photo of view from outside the windows on website showed grass and trees... actually was a parking lot. One morning was woken up by the trash truck right under our window. We did go for the least expensive room. If we would ever consider staying there again we would get a more expensive room, but only if it was in the main hotel.

Great find, can’t wait to be back.
Pros:

Booked Blue Sail as part of a large road trip around California/Nevada, where budget was a consideration, however Blue Sail was an enormous surprise.
Everything was perfect - staff, room, location.
Blue Sail surpassed our expectations and so player chosen it over previous hotels we’ve stayed at Morro Bay in.
We will be back.

Cons:

Nothing

It was for my daughter’s 20th birthday and she’s disabled and it was great
Pros:

I like everything about the blue cell except for the breakfast. I stay there at least 2 to 3 times a year.

Cons:

The only thing I didn’t like is that they didn’t serve breakfast just this bag stuff and the stuff that they give you is just nasty so I have to pay extra money to go get breakfast

Large Rooms with Views of Morro Rock
Pros:

The hotel is older, but that is no problem, it is clean. Everything worked and it was not run down.

The room is big with a separate area with the bathroom sink on a long counter. and next to it was the fridge and microwave. The toilet and shower are in a separate room. There is also a nice ledge/shelf in that space to put things.

No problem to find parking. Awesome view of Morro Rock, definitely go for the room with the view! Balcony was nice to have but it was little chilly so we did spend much time there.

Service was good but the first girl at check in seemed like she was high. She was super slow and had that vacant look. Absent. Nobody home. Anyway, it is hard to find good workers these days, so there you have it.

We liked this hotel and will definitely stay here when we come back again.
