Top The Giant Chessboard Hotel Reviews

Coastal Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Parking can be tight, but there is enough spaces. Places nearby within talking distance to eat."

Morro Shores Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and basic but exactly all I needed. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The amenities were also basic and I only used the ice machine. My only suggestion would be the TV to be able to stream or access streaming memberships or compatible with my computer. It was safe, clean and convenient location."

Hotel Avisa

10/10 Excellent

"The minute you walk in, everything smells so clean and fresh. The rooms with the balcony are worth the extra money! Everything is clean and there's a keurig coffee machine and fridge in the room. Great air conditioner, but it can use some updating. There are some signs of wear here and there and it was noisy with the parking lot below the rooms and some kind of construction happening, but only during the day... And wow, have to say again, the view was amazing! And the beds are comfy. Close walk to Embarcadero and lovely staff! Can't wait to come back!"

The Landing at Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Every room faced the bay, and we loved sitting on the balcony to enjoy the view. The pourover coffee in our room was a pleasant surprise compared to the typical hotel mini-pots. The old pool was converted to a seating area with fire pits that we enjoyed each evening, and we loved the location right across the street from Dorns for meals and cocktails."

Masterpiece Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very spacious, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The sofa wasn’t the greatest but I didn’t seat on it so it didn’t bother me. I had lots of towels, the pressure of the water in the shower was great. All rooms have a balcony so I was able to enjoy my tea sitting on the balcony. The breakfast was very limited but enough to satisfy my hunger. The jacuzzi was very big and indoor which was great. There was no pool. The location was great, I was few blocks from the beach and there were a lot of restaurants near the hotel as well"
