The building, decor, atmosphere, rooms, location were great. Balconies and views were great.

Breakfast was very very disappointing. There really was not much: no scrambled eggs (just cold, hardboiled ones), no bacon/sausage etc, no yogurt, no bagels, not even cream cheese... I have no idea how they could find such bad oranges in California either, maybe supermarket scraps? At least they had a waffle maker and porridge, or I would have to get breakfast outside. Breakfast service was done by a single old lady and I felt bad for her but it was really not what such a nice hotel should offer. It would be far more honorable if they just offered coffee and snacks, but don't call this American breakfast.

Was greeted with a smile, clean/comfortable property. Rooms were very nice and clean. For the people that complain about water pressure ect, water pressure can always be better but you’re not at home! I was able to shower without a problem. A hotel stay is supposed to hold you up when you’re away from home! Hotel completely served its purpose. Location is a 2-3 minute walk to the water front. Great area with restaurants/bars within a few minutes walk or a very short drive.

That the front desk closed at 9pm and there’s nobody on site in case of issues needing immediate attention.

We love staying at LA Serena in due to the convenience of the location and affordable pricing. Great views, fairly quiet location (except for seal in the bay lol) we enjoyed the balcony and spacious room. Only wish there was more seating in the room

The only downsides to the hotel is the elevator was down (but we saw people use it) and had to take the stairs (which isn't a big problem, just a convenience thing) and breakfast kind of lacked. The last time we stayed 3 years ago there was more variety. We were fine with the waffles but had to go elsewhere for a full breakfast.

The hotel is very well located within walking distance of the seafront/bay and Morro rock. It has got free and secure parking. We stayed one night and slept really well. The beds and pillows are really comfy and this was our best night during our stay in California. Our room was next to the vending and ice machines but couldn't hear a thing. The room was clean with a fridge, microwave, coffee/tea machine. There is an extra sink outside the bathroom which is really convenient for family. Free breakfast was included, simple and nice with a choice of cereals, bread, cakes, fruits and waffles. We made some "homemade" waffles and that was delicious. Lovely and cute breakfast room simply decorated with Halloween stuff.

No staff was there when we wanted to check in. This wasn't a problem for us as we went for dinner during the 45mins window we had until someone was back.

Breakfast was Ok, ran out of muffins early, only white type bread even if one brown in color, but overall a reasonable choice of what to eat, fresh fruit, fruit juice, a bit heavy on starch, but satisfactory. Otherwise, very clean, freshly painted, lots of bird books and prints, visually very pleasant. Without the noise, would give a 10.

The problem is that requested and was guaranteed a quiet room. They hadn't reserved one, was put in a room just across from ice machine and 2 vending machined. Complained, put in an upgraded room looking at Bay, but under the breakfast room sun deck. In room around 5 pm, sounded like elephants and a basketball player. Complained, on 2nd request, reception got people to quiet down, but noise from deck from 7:30 to 9 at night. Very much not satisfactory.

The property was really nice! We loved our room. It was very spacious with a super comfy bed! Refrigerator and microwave are always a plus. Also loved the Dove brand toiletries in the room. We had a great view of the rock and fully enjoyed the breakfast room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Loved all the decor and the little library seating area on the 2nd floor.

The ONLY thing I didn't like was the size of the balcony in our room. I wish it was large enough to be able to sit out there.

Breakfast was minimal but enough to start our day. No eggs, bacon, sausage or even yogurt. I can’t eat carbs due to health reasons so it was a struggle but made it work. Waffles, toast, English muffins, oatmeal and hard boiled eggs was about it. Spiced apple juice, orange juice and coffee were good. We slept good for the most part.

We were woke up early morning from walking on the floor above is (3rd floor) and when we realized breakfast was on top floor we knew it was the staff. That was not real exciting to be woken up that early.

The property was nice and clean. The hotel was fairly close to the waterfront where restaurants and shops are found. The front desk is not manned between 9pm and 8am. The free continental breakfast was good enough. The building is an older wooden structure. Every step by the guests in the room above could be easily heard. Fortunately they turned in early.

The front desk clerk needs a lesson in welcoming guests and what good salesmanship is. Giving a lecture to an arriving guest was pretty annoying. Especially when the circumstances didn't warrant it. The older construction was not good at reducing noise levels between rooms especially footsteps from above Gald the place was mostly empty.

The location was close to the downtown area, and was very walkable to the waterfront. We were pleasantly surprised to see that it had interior hallways. The two sinks in the room were a welcome addition.

Bathroom fixtures could use some updating. Lotion bottles were not provided. Sheer curtain over the balcony window was missing. We were prepared for a sparse breakfast based on other reviews, but it would have still been nice to have more protein.

We spent only one night on the way from san Francisco to Los Angeles, so we have not much enjoyed our time there. However, the room was very clean and nice. Very silent. We had a problem on the way to Morro Bay, so we had a very late check-in. Notwithstanding our late arrival the staff was nice, helpful and gave us some suggestions for diner.

Breakfast can be improved. Not a large choice, and breakfast room is a bit small, but probably in line with the category of the structure.
