Fine weekend all around
by TripAdvisor Member EBDMarinaDelReyCA
My husband and I booked into the Morro Bay Inn despite having read a number of negative comments on this site. We booked a Petite Queen room but on arrival found that we had been upgraded to a king with balcony and private hottub at no additional cost -- a welcome surprise, especially on a holiday weekend.
Our room was spacious and well appointed. We particularly liked the fireplace, comfortable bed, and hot tub. There were some oddities - an out of place old wood desk --and the bathroom although efficient was small and not remarkable. However I think the people who complain about these details are spoiled, truly. Since when does every inch of every hotel have to look like the Ritz Carlton, especially at 1/3 of the price? We had a wonderful 3-night stay and will return for sure.
Good and bad

I stayed here recently for my birthday. My fiance and I splurged up the $175/night (this was a 25% discount for being mid-week and with a discount card) for a partial ocean view. I did not get what I expected. We arrived and were given a room that was already occupied! We unlocked the door, only to find clothes on the ground. We went back and told management. We were then given another room on the ground floor which was not to our expectations. While it is true that there was a hot tub on the balcony as described, this was so open that there was no privacy! We requested another room and was given one that was like the first room. However, our keys couldn't open the lock. Finally, they fixed this and our room was very nice. For our troubles, the staff gave us $60 dining credit at the restaurant.
The outside of the inn is disappointing. It really doesn't look that elegant (considering the price you pay!), but more like a motel. the inside of the room, however, is very nice (minus the bathroom- the paint was peeling and it was very small and old looking). The bed was very comfy and had a down comforter. The robes were plush and cozy as well. The hot tub was nice and warm, and the staff drains this every time a new guest checks in. The fireplace was great. Overall, I really liked this place but am not sure it was worth the money..maybe if you spend more time inside the room. By the way, the restaurant had a great view and pretty good food too!
Fantastic!!

What a pleasure it was to stay here. My husband and 10 mos old son had a wonderful experience. Our room was in the building which faced the bay and had a breathtaking view. We had two double feather beds which were incredibly comfortable and was the first time my son ever slept through the night. The room was a good size with a large dressing/sink area, bathroom, tv and desk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They also have specially made soap which is made for the hotel and could be purchased. The view of the bay every morning and evening was gorgeous and there is a bird estuary next door where you can see the birds nesting. It was very quiet and great housekeeping service with chocolates on our pillow at night. I would definitely recommend this hotel. It is right at the entrance to the Park and next to a golf course. Would definitely go back.

Had a very nice stay at the Inn. Our room (409) must have already been renovated. It was rather nice, with granite countertops, slate floors and nice carpet. I think we had one of the more spacious rooms (compared to other reviews). We had a bottom floor King suite with a partial bay view, fireplace and spa. I noticed our room was handicap accessible, which made it even more spacious. We ate at the restaurant, while watching the sunset, and had a cocktail in the bar afterwards- there was even live entertainment...it was very fun. The pool was closed, which was okay, as there is plenty else to do. The Inn is located right next to an estuary, so you get to see (and hear) a lot of different birds. With all the birds, you may have a mess on your car in the morning...not to worry though...there is a car wash nearby.
Great Relaxing weekend...

I booked the Queen Petite room for 2 nights for the long weekend way before reading any of the reviews here, since the pictures on the website looked wonderful! After reading the negative reviews I was getting worried that the July 4th vacation was going to be ruined...
BUT... what a surprise! It was a wonderful place to unwind, and relax. It was very comfortable and clean! I was Upgraded to a King bed with Jacuzzi and it had a view of Morro Rock. It was awesome! I think for the price you can't beat the Inn at Morro Rock!
Loved the hospitality

A group of us from Australia had the positive experience of staying at The Inn at Morro Bay for 6 days. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous and provided us with great service. (The only thing they could not provide us with was a kettle, as if you are a tea drinker, you will know it is essential to have boiled water for a cuppa.) We have now come to the realisation that American's are not familiar with this great refreshing drink. The staff did go out of there way to try and provide me with a kettle though.
I would recommend this Motel to any one intending to visit, and if we have the fortunate experience of visiting this part of the world again, we will definitely be re-booking at The Inn.
