Rooms were clean and spacious. Beds were very comfortable and close to morro bay shops. Continental breakfast was decent but the older lady running the breakfast was rude and impatient. She has bad mannerism and was in a sour mood.

It is a couple of blocks from the shopping and dining area. The room was spacious and quiet. The wifi in our room did not work well, although it was better in the lobby. The breakfast was very basic.

the location and cleanliness of the place is great. The hotel is pet friendly, but they only accept a handful of pets , so make sure to let them know that you are bringing a pet right after you book the room.

I liked the La Serena Inn for many reasons. First, it had a very calm and peaceful atmosphere that my family and I enjoyed very much. Secondly, we definitely enjoyed the free breakfast with waffles. (Saved more that $30). Finally, we enjoyed watching the ocean from our balcony and having the beach one block away from our room.
