"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 ☹️"

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

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."

Pacific Shores Inn

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."
