I have visited the El Morro Masterpiece Motel on two occasions in the past couple of months and have not been disappointed. Located on Main Street with easy access to the highway, the Masterpiece Motel is more of hotel than motel. On my first three night visit I was pleasantly surprised at how large my room was (#227). Bed was... More

We had a great time staying here. the room was nice and clean. The price was right. The wine reception was also nice. It was nothing fancy but it was nice to come back to after a long day walking around Morro Bay. The breakfast was really nice. Fresh waffle bar and plenty of other goodies. The staff was great...

We arrived at 5:00 pm and no one was at the front desk. A note was there saying the desk clerk was assisting other guests. (we didn't see any). There was wine in the lobby so we helped ourselves after a 7 hour drive. The wine was basically fruit juice. After 25 minutes elapsed, the desk clerk finally arrived reeking... More

You have to stay in the Jacuzzi suite. They really go out of their way with the romance. The Roman spa downstairs is almost big enough to swim in. The breakfast area/cheese and wine worth sticking around for. The staff was very friendly. Out of our four day romantic trip, this was my favorite and also the least expensive.

What a great little Hotel. Immaculately clean, big room, wine and cheese every night was great, breakfast was fine to start the day. Slower time of year so we had the Roman Baths to ourselves every night. Just short walk each day to Waterfront, we will come again. Staff was helpful and friendly and even gave us hiking maps to...

Stayed here on the drive over the pch; good value. The room was enormous, slightly cheesy decor but nice enough. Would happily stay here again if in the area.

We have found the PERFECT place to stay up the Coast. The Masterpiece IS a masterpiece, it's immaculate, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the art is amazing. We had a wonderful time and will be back! It's no wonder we met so many returning guests, this place has it all!

Just returned from Morro Bay. I was surpriced how dificult it was to find a nice place to stay. We booked it 10 days in advance, most motels were sold out. The Masterpiece was OK. The room was a nice size, but overlooking the Main St. When we asked to change it, the other option was a smaller room, so... More
