La Serena Inn

La Serena Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We've stayed here with our children before. This being our anniversary, I reserved a king single with a balcony. I had mentioned our anniversary to staff and when we arrived, we found not just a very nice room with a perfect view of Morro Rock but a lovely anniversary card waiting for us. As with prior stays, staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The building is in fine shape and parking is a snap. We'll be back."

"We loved our stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful, made an excellent recommendation to eat dinner at Dorn’s Seafood. The room was very comfortable and clean, the only thing was not being able to control the temperature in the room, we would have preferred it be a tad cooler. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Would definitely recommend this hotel to others."

"Great location. Firepits were very nice, but shut off at 8:45, which is a little early for people on vacation. A/C unit was small and not very effective. Too hot for using fireplace, but it was not as pictured, basically just an electric black box by the closet. Overall, the location was more important than the other factors and we enjoyed our stay."
