We stayed here a couple of times and enjoyed the view, the patio, the fireplace, the jacuzzi, the bed and the location convenient for walking to the marina. There were a couple of small sticky spots on the carpet but other than that we had no complaints.

We stayed here for one night on our way home from Yosemite. Upon arrival we were welcomed by their complementary wine and cheese hour which was just what we needed! Plenty of restaurants to walk too and interesting shops nearby. Motel is located right across from Morro Bay. The rooms were large, very clean, with a fun decor of many... More

Sadly this stay did not live up to my past stays. Nothing seems to have changed so maybe it was just me. The room was clean, the breakfast was as good as before and the afternoon wine & cheese was great. Maybe I was just piqued at being asked to pay more for a downstairs room when we checked in....

The Masterpiece Hotel is sad to know we did not meet your expectations during your recent stay. Room rates will vary according to season and room type. Our hope is that you will give us another try on your next trip to the Central Coast. Sincerly, Masterpiece Hotel More

Morro Bay appears to be a nice, comfortable,although somewhat dated sort of a town, which I think pretty much sums up the Masterpiece as a hotel. OK - it's a little long in the tooth but everything worked perfectly and the room was a decent size if somewhat lacking in drawer space (the only ones being filled with spare pillows... More

We have stayed at El Morro Masterpiece several times over the past few years. What brings us back to this location is the Unique Style of building and Friendly Helpful Staff.

We've stayed at this hotel a couple times and would stay there again. Three blocks from the ocean and convenient to the Embarcadero with all its restaurants and attractions. Breakfast in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon. Also a very nice spa that we enjoyed. The workout room has some nice equipment and the hotel is very... More

My husband and I were visiting a relative who lives in Morro Bay. Other family members have recommended the Masterpiece Motel and we were not disappointed. The front desk personnel were friendly and efficient; the place is clean and well-cared for; the decor is relatively plain (they could spruce up the eating area) and benefits from all the art reproductions...

Nice Motel. Great location. Everything about our 2-day stay here was just fine. The free Breakfast was a bit sparse on variety; but is probably adequate for most people's taste. The free evening wine-tasting with snacks in the lobby was pretty basic, but very pleasant, and we enjoyed it each evening. We liked staying at the Masterpiece, and think you... More

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Masterpiece Motel recently. I would consider this to be the best value in Morro Bay. Though a bit outdated, the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The parking lot is on the small side and might pose a problem if the motel was full, but we stayed mid-week so didn't have any... More
