Hotels near Juan Bautista de Anza Historic Trail in San Luis Obispo County

So after a long day of driving south on Pacific 1, both wifey and I were weary and happy to see the Morgan Hotel sign as we came out of the mountains. When we walked into the lobby, there was nice music playing and we were greeted by friendly staff. The room presents nicely when you walk in hence the nice photos online. Then you start seeing the signs of age. The small fridge was very old and door would not close properly. There is no microwave in the room. There was a table fan provided and it was ok to keep you semi cool during the night. Honestly when driving down the Pacific 1, we found it was a common theme when you are close to the ocean so maybe it's not a thing but we found it very strange not having AC in the room. Pros Easy to get to once you emerge from the mountains. It is in San Simeon which is basically a community of hotels. Free parking Pet friendly Comfortable bed and pillows Our room had a fireplace and super comfy couch. Updated bathroom Very nice pool area and breakfast area Cons Very bad internet. I could not even get my laptop to connect! We were at the end of the hall so that may have been part of the cause. I'm a computer guy so internet is important to me. When I finally did get to connect, the speed was less than 1Mbps. This is barely enough to check your email these days. The room was very empty and could easily handle getting rid of the little round side table and adding a nice coffee table in front of the couch OR adding a desk and chair. The room is large but the space is poorly utilized. The TV and remote are a throwback to the 80's. The remote is so old that the finish was rubbing off the back. No sleep timer on the TV. As others have stated the breakfast is terrible. There is basically yogurt and bagels. Nothing is hot, no eggs, no bacon, no sausage. There is ample room to provide a typical continental breakfast and this is the first hotel we've stayed at on our 12 day highway 1 adventure that provided such a bad breakfast. Even the bare basic Best Western hotels have a superior breakfast experience. Summary If you just staying a night and don't care about internet or breakfast, this was a nice clean, reasonably priced hotel with a comfy bed and pillows and clean bathroom.

My experience here was great! First, it was super clean! That’s what’s most important to everyone right? The bathrooms were so clean that the floors were shining. I was so impressed with the size of the room too. It was so spacious that it at least 3 different seating areas. The breakfast was good too. We knew it was a brown bag due to Covid but honestly it was ok because they fill up your bag with so many goodies. We didn’t use the pool but we did view it and it was also very clean and very well maintained. The front desk was very polite and helpful when I asked for suggestions for restaurants. My nephew moved to SLO and this was the reason for our trip. We’ve decided this will be our hotel every time we visit. We were very impressed.

Perfect beach escape. Ocean front room with balcony. Firepits and sitting areas available everywhere to watch sunset. Easy stair access to the beach. Pier less than mile walk on beach. Multiple restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely book again

We have stopped here many times over the years and found good value. More recently prices have escalated significantly. Make your reservation directly by phone as the personal communication about the room is helpful to understand what your getting. The views and location determine room price. Second floor with Ocean view seems best for us. Some second floor rooms do not have elevator access just stairs. As time goes on, some of the larger plants are beginning to block the ocean views. No pets. Coffee in lobby after 7 am. Nice people.

Nice modern newer hotel in Atascadero, convenient for visiting Paso Robles, Morro Bay, SLO and Avila Beach (as long as you have a car). Minutes from the 101. PROS: Plenty of free parking, well lit. Modern, clean, newer hotel with up-to-date decor. Friendly front-desk person. Pool, gym, business center and breakfast included. Nice spacious breakfast area. Wall Street Journal available in lobby. Quiet stay until our last night when we had to call the front desk twice when a rabble of people were being very loud on our floor after 'Quiet Hours'. Vending machines and small shop with essentials available downstairs. CONS: I was not impressed that they don't offer housekeeping/a room refresh unless you're staying more than 5 days, although there was the option to ask for new towels at the front desk. When you're paying around the $200/night mark, you expect to come back at the end of a busy day to have at least your bed made and the room refreshed. I was told that 'People like the fact nobody enters the room while they're gone'. While this is one advantage, this is basically post-Covid corporate greed speak for 'It's a good excuse to not spend money and hire people to clean and make back some money we lost'. If I don't get my room cleaned, I might as well rent a room in someone's house through an on-line app. Breakfast food was your typical hotel chain buffet with sugary yogurts, cheap breads/bagels, rubbery eggs, brown spotted bananas, etc. When are hotels going to start offering more quality food? At least it's something to put in your belly before you go out for the day and you don't have to traipse the streets looking for breakfast. All-day coffee and tea in the lobby would be a nice touch like some other chains offer. I found the bathroom dimly lit, despite a light around the mirror. The light in the room was more natural for applying make-up. If you found this review useful, please click the thank button.

Every Thursday, there is FAMER MARKET, but unfortunately we bought and bought and did not catch up. Seeing the mess on the road, it must be very lively, so sorry. The location is very good, you can go to FM. But what do you say about the facilities of this hotel, in fact, it is to open a room for young Californian workers, haha! The standard room is our five-foot bed. The family is a little small and the photos look slightly larger. Family trips, recommended twin beds, don't blindly believe in the old KING SIZE, not all hotels.

I like this very much, the environment is particularly good, the scenery is beautiful, especially at night, the parking space is sufficient, the room is clean, the bed is very comfortable! highly recommended!

I’ve always wanted to stay at Madonna based on photos and reviews that I’ve seen online, but wasn’t sure if it would live up to the hype in person. It absolutely does! The rooms, restaurants, shops, and spa are all amazing. My best friend and I never left the hotel during our trip to SLO because we were too busy enjoying it and were already talking about going back to try a different room theme on our drive home. Get a massage if you can, eat the champagne cake, and make sure to bring home the perfect tchotchke!

Lodge was clean and nicely updated Convenient location Enjoyed our stay
