Rockview Inn and Suites - Morro Bay CA

10/10 Excellent

"."

Coastal Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the large rooms. They provided coffee microwave & refrigerator. Their showers have excellent water pressure and we stayed 5 nights and never ran out of hot water. They are pet friendly and provide dog bags and treats.. They are in an excellent location and if you cannot find parking in the lot, there is plenty of parking on the street. I found all the staff to be very friendly. I will return as soon as possible.. We had a wonderful stay"

Morro Shores Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, spacious and clean rooms, comfortable beds with quality linens, ample towels & pillows. Bathroom features shower with tub well maintained with newer fixtures and proper hot water. Rooms feature a microwave with coffee maker set up refrigerator appeared to be new also updated TVs the rooms feature a table with two chairs and then there is a lounge chair of sorts is a little dated, but still not bad for the other furnishings but the important part is the bed is very comfortable. Also, the rooms are well insulated and you have nice louvered, blackout curtains. Second floor units have balconies great value for the price. There are also 2 room suites for families & small groups. Ground units have a patio and there’s even a propane fire pit for the guests to enjoy lounging in the courtyard. There is also a beautiful huge fountain. (unfortunately, the fountain was not active). Overall, the property is well maintained and makes for a comfortable stay. Should also be noted the property uses solar energy, and that’s always good for the environment and is another added bonus, compared to many of the surrounding lodging properties."
