"Older property but well-maintained in calm, lovely seaside town."

Avalon Inn Downtown Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place- close to everything. Staff very nice and helpful."

Blufftop Inn & Suites - Wharf/Restaurant District

"X"

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay and Would definitely return!"

Masterpiece Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was kind and helpful. Room was clean. Lock on screen did not work as the door did not sit right and since there’s no Ac you must leave the sliding glass door open. But due to no lock on door, my partner got a bug bit. Spacious."

La Serena Inn

8/10 Good

"About two blocks away from the docks and shops so still a good location for a short walk. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean for the most part. My only complaint really is the beds. Everyone has their own preferences but I'm pretty sure the mattress wasn't that soft by design. They felt very worn out. I don't think I've ever slept on a mattress that sunk down as much as those did. I'm sure the views in many of the rooms with a balcony are great."

The Q Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel! Very clean and comfortable. Quirky but very inviting! Owner and staff get an A+! We will definitely stay there again. Highly recommended. 💕"
