We liked this motel right off the bat. The aesthetic theme (every hallway and room has reproductions of famous paintings) and architecture are pleasant and relaxing. The room was very spacious and included a small balcony fronting Surf Street, the side of the motel with the car-park entrance. For all this, the price was very reasonable.

My husband and I just spent a week at the Masterpiece. It was our second stay. This time we were there for a very sad reason, the death of my father-in-law. Of course the hotel had no way of knowing this. We were upgraded to a room with a fireplace and it even had a view of the rock and... More

Motel is a bit away for the bay. No view of the bay unless you get a suite. Arrived on Sunday, hotel representative was rude, never saw her again and the other person at the front desk was fantastic. Jacuzzi was great, exercise room was small. Breakfast was good. Wine and cheese from 5 to 7pm, very nice. Rooms were... More

Just back from 2 days in Morro Bay. Booked the Masterpiece Motel based upon positive TripAdvisor reviews. We couldn't agree more. The building is lovely, the rooms large, spotless, well-equiped and spacious. It seemed more like a Hotel than a Motel. It has plush interior hallways, and (as the name implies) some great art throughout the building. By the way,... More

We recently booked this hotel through hotels.com. At $79 a night it was a great value. Clean, nicely appointed rooms, friendly staff, complimentary breakfast and wine/cheese reception. The rooms had a coffee pot, small refridgerator and microwave great for longer stays or just for keeping snacks and beverages in the room No complaints. We will stay here again!

The spa was kinda interesting. It's in a basement, no windows, no ventilation. The water was nice and hot, weak jets, strong chlorine smell (which could mean it's more clean than filthy). Spa room was stuffy and humid, so it's not really a place you'd want to stay long in. Room was roomy, bathroom was super clean. We got a... More

My husband & I stayed in this quaint little motel for one night. I chose this motel because of the wonderful reviews for "customer service" and, of course, cleanliness. We were not disappointed. The good customer service started minutes after I had made a reservation via Expedia; I reserved the wrong night and called the motel about my error. With... More
