Masterpiece Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing I didn't like is that it doesn't have AC"

Pacific Shores Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was great we had toilet on one side with sink. Only one towel no face cloth and electric outlet. Shower and sink on other side. No soap at sink and no electric outlet. Staff was not available when we checked out."

Ascot Suites

8/10 Good

"Staff great, room clean, breakfast decent"

Sea Air Inn & Suites - Downtown - Restaurant Row

8/10 Good

"Room was very clean throughout, even had a small ocean view. Price for room was excellent. We left early the next morning (it was dark) and the stairs down from the second floor were not lighted, which I feel is a safety issue. The receptionist was very nice, but could not print out a recipe and thought she was finished with us, but not supply the room key or room number"

Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I got to the hotel a little bit before the scheduled check-in time. The room was ready so I was able to check -in. The hotel was only a block away from Embarcadero Rd. I walked to most of the places I wanted to go to. The room was clean and comfortable."

Blue Sail Inn

"Perfect location - nice comfy room and the front desk staff were amazing.! so friendly and recommended a few restaurants that were what we were looking for"

The Landing at Morro Bay

Avalon Inn Downtown Morro Bay

8/10 Good

"Had a nice stay at the Avalon. Close to the bay it was nice to walk down ti the shops and restaurants. Room was clean, nice and comfortable. Only issue we had was that there hardly was any water pressure and the first night the tub wasn't draining when we showered. It seemed to be fine the next night though. Overall can't wait to visit again and stay here"

Sundown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and very quiet area. Also, close to restaurants and shops."
