Ascot Suites

10/10 Excellent

"El personal amable, cerca de todo"

La Serena Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We've stayed here with our children before. This being our anniversary, I reserved a king single with a balcony. I had mentioned our anniversary to staff and when we arrived, we found not just a very nice room with a perfect view of Morro Rock but a lovely anniversary card waiting for us. As with prior stays, staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The building is in fine shape and parking is a snap. We'll be back."

456 Embarcadero Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room, needs full breakfast, parking not the best. Staff not very knowledgeable. Offer access to local gym staff nothing about it."

Blufftop Inn & Suites - Wharf/Restaurant District

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and well organized. It met my needs perfectly. Will definitely stay again."

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

8/10 Good

"Recepción no muy amable"

Masterpiece Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful, made an excellent recommendation to eat dinner at Dorn’s Seafood. The room was very comfortable and clean, the only thing was not being able to control the temperature in the room, we would have preferred it be a tad cooler. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Would definitely recommend this hotel to others."

Rockview Inn and Suites - Morro Bay CA

10/10 Excellent

"Loved Cambria and the location of this hotel. Nothing super fancy but nice. Close to downtown and Main St."

Hotel Avisa

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Nice property with clean rooms!"

The Landing at Morro Bay

8/10 Good

"Great location. Firepits were very nice, but shut off at 8:45, which is a little early for people on vacation. A/C unit was small and not very effective. Too hot for using fireplace, but it was not as pictured, basically just an electric black box by the closet. Overall, the location was more important than the other factors and we enjoyed our stay."
