My family had a wonderful stay at the inn. Very walkable location, clean room, good breakfast and the vibe in Morro Bay is so much better than Pismo Beach.

Clean but needs an update.

This is a nice hotel, great location. We stay here everytime we visit Morro Bay. Our room was clean but it could use new carpet. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom is clean but could definitely use an update. The breakfast you get waffles, oatmeal, boiled eggs, cereal and toast. Oh yea coffee, juice, and milk. I heard the are going to get rid of breakfast and do a wine tasting thing. I think I would prefer the breakfast. Overall it's a nice place, clean, staff is friendly but again it really could use an update
