I had a mixed experience at Best Western Tradewinds in Morro Bay. The location near the waterfront was fantastic, making it easy to explore local attractions. However, I was disappointed by the state of my room; the mattress was sagging and in need of replacement, which left my back hurting after my stay. Also, there were moments when the front desk staff seemed overwhelmed, lacking the warm, family-like atmosphere I had hoped for under new ownership.
