"Quiet, clean, pet friendly, comfortable and nice sized rooms."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Enjoyed the breakfasts, easy elevator, landscaped areas, the vinyl flooring in pet friendly rooms. Easy check in and out. Good covered parking. Close to downtown Morro Bay and short walk down to the Embarcadero. Prepaid no refund reservations are very reasonable. We stayed a week with two small dogs.

Hi Matthew,Thank you for staying with us, we value your feedback and hope that we can welcome you back sometime soon!
"Almost Perfect Experience."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Great: 1) Friendly front desk people at all times. 2) Room was *sparkling clean* a real plus in these times. 3) Covered Parking! Slight downsides: 1) No swimming pool or hot tub on property. While we wouldn't have expected it to be open this time, in general we would prefer a property with a pool.

"Good price and breakfast included."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
We have stayed at La Serena Inn many times. Was not as impressed this time as we normally are. The bath tub was dirty, like someone had been walking in it with dirty boots. The supplied toiletries dispenser had no gel in it. The front desk staff was very accommodating and nice to deal with. Cookies and coffee between five and 6 pm is a nice touch. But the price we paid was indicative of the issues we endured. Still a good deal.
