Top The Giant Chessboard Hotel Reviews

Avalon Inn Downtown Morro Bay

8/10 Good

"Convenient to the Embarcadero. Always had a parking spot in the hotel's lot. Our large room had a balcony, a coffeemaker, a fridge and a microwave. Property felt safe & secure."

Morro Shores Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the room we stayed in was a big room to accommodate my family of 8! Defiantly will be staying again!"

Blue Sail Inn

8/10 Good

"The front desk person who checked us in was very sweet and helpful. Amazing location, lots of restaurant options within a 5 minute walk. The only reason we wouldn’t stay here again is because there’s no air conditioning ☹️"

Bay View Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a prime location: one or two blocks away from the harbor and its main attractions - shops, restaurants, viewpoints, etc. Some renovation definitely would not hurt. Otherwise, it is a good establishment if you only need a place to sleep."

La Serena Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and staff was friendly and helpful "

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"This is a pet-friendly facility that charges a $30 per night fee for the pet's stay. The rooms were clean and ready for habitation, plenty of towels, a good working refrigerator, bath mat and hand rail in the bathtub. Check in was a breeze and the clerk was informative and friendly. The drawback for us was that room service (daily trash emptying, restocking the coffee and providing fresh, clean towels) was done via text each day. You had to specify in the text whether you wanted basic service (towels and trash) or full service (beds made, trash empty, coffee restock, fresh clean towels etc.) Close to restaurants, a liquor store right across the street and Saturday there was a farmers market a block or so away. And about 6 blocks from the water."

Blufftop Inn & Suites - Wharf/Restaurant District

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay here was a positive experience.Check in was quick, room was clean and comfortable. each room has a parking spot,so when you go somewhere you dont have to worry if there is a place to park when you return. Also room had mini fridge and microwave. Will stay here again. Also GREAT breakfast place across the street."

Pacific Shores Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 1 night. Great staff. Great view of morro rock. Great location - close to everything downtown. Bed was big and had a mattress topper on it which made it super fluffy. Only thing is that there's seagulls all over the place. They stay on the roof and squeak all night. The rooms do have blinds - you just have to pull them down (I didn't know this since there was already a sheer blind up so I slept with the windows open all night and street lights were so bright) - my fault. Overall a nice stay. I'd stay here again."

The Q Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cool and different place to stay. Room and everything in it looked (and smelled) brand new. Spacious room and bathroom. Loved the private patio with fire pit table. It’s also very close to all shops and restaurants. Overall great stay!!"
