Hotel Avisa

"It’s actually zero stars but since one of the only options it’s one. STAY AWAY. They would cancel your reservation while you’re on the road and have no other options past mid night. Just like that; by the way all this is called “circumstances”."

"This hotel is in a perfect location to walk the 2 blocks to the downtown area of Morro Bay. The view from our room of the bay and rock was perfect. Hotel was clean and room was a nice size with a patio door and small balcony."

"I recently had a disappointing experience during my stay at Hotel Avisa that I feel compelled to share. My visit began with a less-than-ideal check-in process that set the tone for the rest of my stay. I had specifically inquired at the front desk if the room I was assigned would have a view of the iconic Morro Rock. The employee casually responded, "Yes, I think so," which left me with some uncertainty. Upon reaching my room, I was dismayed to find that it did not, in fact, offer the promised view of Morro Rock; instead, it overlooked a garage. Feeling somewhat misled, I promptly called the front desk to voice my concern. The hotel staff member on the other end of the line suggested that I could switch to a room with the desired view, but failed to mention any additional fees associated with this change. Eager to enjoy the promised vista for the sake of my elderly parents who had already entered the room, I agreed to pay the extra charges. It was only when I visited the front desk to pick up my new room keys that I was informed of the additional cost, which, to my astonishment, was $37, not the $10 previously mentioned. I felt deceived and taken advantage of, with no recourse for a resolution in sight. Despite the substantial discrepancy in the quoted price, I was not allowed to stay in the newly allocated room without further payment. Reluctantly, I agreed to move back to my original room facing the garage, holding onto the hope of receiving a refund. This experience was especially disheartening as I had already endured a long day of travel, and the ordeal left me feeling immensely stressed. Upon moving my parents to the new room, I discovered that the shower was broken, compounding the disappointments of my stay. It seemed as though there was a cascade of issues that were progressively revealing themselves. While I did eventually receive a refund for the overcharged amount the following day, the whole situation was far from pleasant, and the stress it caused was unnecessary. My overall impression of Hotel Avisa is far from positive, and I cannot recommend it to others. If you do choose to stay here, I strongly advise clear communication with the staff and a thorough review of your receipts, as they appear to be prone to deceptive practices."

"Cute and clean rooms. No complaints. However I believe the room we stayed in was haunted. Weird noises and strange “music” all throughout the night happened and one of the lights kept turning on and off on its own. Other than that it was a nice hotel."

"WiFi is on and off. Staff will not let you use the lobby restroom in the case that your room’s restroom is occupied. There are many hotels adjacent and I’m sure some have better hospitality."
