Top Arroyo Grande Hotel Reviews

Aloha Inn

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed spacious rooms, dog friendly hotel. Room was ok clean but can use more cleaning under beds. Not updated, so basic rooms but nice comfortable. Down side was backs up onto side of highway so traffic noise. Plus rooms not sound promising can hear neighbors music and coughing. Has Ac which is a plus."

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was in the heart of the city. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the bay. Had a lovely balcony with a view of the bay."

Edgewater Inn And Suites

8/10 Good

"It was fine"

Madonna Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Although maybe a little gaudy this hotel was one of my favorites I have ever stayed at. It was homey, hilarious, and even though I probably wouldn’t ever get a pink leather banquet for my personal home I loved every single one that I saw. You can tell that every single thing that was put into the experience was thought out and had a reason!! I wish I was as brave with my home as the Madonna family was and is with this motel."
