Received a recommendation from one of the local shops for the Inn at Morro Bay. We found they were having a special which included extending your stay at reduced rates.
Our first two nights were in the Jacuzzi Rooms. They have several amenities that the Pool/Garden View rooms don't such as robes , larger bathroom with granite shelf to place things on, larger shower with two shower heads (one rain and one regular) and of course the jacuzzi and fireplace.
We enjoyed sitting in the personal jacuzzi watching the sun set (or rise). Morning coffee was great watching sitting in the warm water in the cool breeze.
The third night we switched to the Pool/Garden View room. It was still a nice room but definitely not as nice as the Jaccuzi room. The patio overlooked the pool and some rooms still had a partial bay view.
There is free WiFi in the lobby.....if you want internet in your room there is a charge for 24 hours. Room service is available.
We will definitely watch for off season specials and return to the Inn.
We stayed here in late August for our Anniversary. I made sure to book a room with the hot tub. The Inn is not that hard to find, it is in a great location and has a very nice ambiance to it. We were a bit early for our 3pm check in (arrived at 1pm or so) but the lady at the check in was nice enough to let us check in early. We made our way to the room on the second floor, the swimming pool was right in front of our front door. The view from our balcony was great, the weather was gorgeous and you could see a full view of Morro Rock. The room was clean, simple, and cozy. The wall were a bit thin and you could hear everything outside, so if you don't want other to hear what you are doing in your room, turn up the TV :-P ! The bed was comfortable, and the fireplace was a nice touch.
The best part of this room though is the Hot Tub. We lounged in the Hot Tub at night after a great dinner at the Galley Seafood Grill and it was just relaxing. We got a nice view of the moon, and was just a romantic/relaxing time. If you come and if it's in your budget to upgrade to a room with the Hot Tub, definitely do it as it's worth every penny.
As we were checking out I mentioned that they did not deliver our complimentary wine the night before, and they brought me a bottle to take with me. Overall a great stay, if you are looking for a nice romantic stay in Morro Bay with a great view, this is the place to stay.
My boyfriend and I stayed the weekend at the Inn at Morro Bay this past weekend and we were just "okay" with the hotel itself. The Inn is set right on the water and is a beautiful location, but as far as the rooms go, not so impressed. The room was extremely small (so small the sink for the bathroom was actually in the room itself and there was hardly enough room in the bathroom for the toilet and the shower). The staff was very friendly and helpful and the lounge for the Inn had a beautiful view of the ocean/harbor. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but it did not live up to the reviews I read before we left. For the price ($89.00 a night for a Friday/Saturday stay), it was a decent buy.
Great location, lovely decor and ambience, and nice toiletries. Unfortunately, the quality of the bed, the thin walls/ceilings, and the bathroom setup are what really makes this establishment fall 1 star short of spectacular (as far as 3 star motels go). Our room did not face the bay, so a better view might merit an additional star. Thank goodness for the deal we got on Expedia.
I like. I stayed in a room with a queen bed, no deck, hot tub or view. It was great! Given that I had many activities planned outside of my hotel, I did not require these amenities. I was pleased with the modest amenities and cleanliness, overall. My sink was in the bed area, rather than the bathing/toilet area. I used the swimming pool, which was lovely. There were some feathers in the pool which was sort of icky but the hotel borders a Heron Sanctuary so, naturally, there will be traces of bird....everywhere...I got over it and appreciated my swimming experience on the 100 degree day. I did not take advantage of the hotel restaurant or bar but I will next time. There is a next time. I will totally stay there again. This place has a good, old school feel, it's cozy, does not feel corporate, and I liked it a lot.
A few years ago, my boyfriend-then-now-husband and I spent an evening at the Inn at Morro Bay. The sunset from the balcony was spectacular. It's such a great location on the coast-lots of great towns nearby to enjoy on your drive here. Our room was very comfortable and well decorated. There was a small faux fireplace (electric, I think) in the room and jacuzzi on the private balcony. From what I recall, the rates were good. We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday brunch at the Inn's restaurant, too. There's a great view of the harbor and Morro Rock from the rooms and restaurant patio, as well.
We'd definitely stay here again.
Views of Morro Bay and Rock, this hidden hotel looks very unassuming. When you enter the restaurant, you immediately notice panoramic views of the bay through the floor to ceiling windows.
Perfect restaurant for friends and family to enjoy brunch or dinner. I've been here for Christmas and Thanks Giving several times. Food is excellent and surpass every expectation on every visit. Menu is geared toward more traditional American fair that have been tweaked to appease the modern city dweller palette. Good on so many levels.
LEAVE HAPPY.
This is where I asked my wife to marry me. I wanted somewhere that we could visit years down the road that would make us remember being that in love again..
I made a wise choice -- this was rated one of the top places in 'Southern California Places to Kiss' as a lodging spot. It's because you are near a sanctuary, so you get the feeling of nature, with a high-quality room (fireplace and a mini hot tub on the balcony) and gorgeous view of Morro Bay, Morro Rock, and the Pacific Ocean.
Morro Bay itself is a great little town that almost seems like time forgot it, and this is the best hotel option in town.
One of the most lovely hotels I have stayed in, ever. The staff is friendly and gracious and the place is located in a bird sanctuary right on the bay. My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and they upgraded us to a full-bay room. The staff suggested the 'Rock and Romance' package which was an excellent pick.
The bathroom was incredible - rock and tile with an enormous shower and two showerheads. There is a hot tub on the balcony, which overlooks the water. Added bonus - wine and wonderful truffles delivered nightly to our room.
I would suggest staying here - it is worth the money and I promise you will experience a relaxing stay.
I am qualifying my four stars rating of this place with the following:
1) The rooms are small, the bathroom sink is in the room and NOT in the bathroom ( a bit weird ) 2) The carpet had a few nasty spots 3) The "deluxe" breakfast buffet is possibly so named for the view and certainly NOT for the breakfast and the service.
Alright, so why the four stars? $59 for a lovely Inn right on the bay with an amazing view of the Rock and Morro Bay, right inside the state park. The inn is very picturesque and possibly the nicest place to stay in Morro Bay. Reservations were easy on-line.
Attended a wedding in the Cayucos Room here this past year and the breakfast/brunch buffet served during the reception was excellent! The Eggs Florentine (spinach, poached eggs, swiss cheese) were incredible... so much flavor and prepared wonderfully...probably the best Eggs Florentine that I have ever had.
The venue was pretty for an intimate wedding. It was chilly and windy on the patio where the actual wedding ceremony took place, though. Some outdoor heaters would have been nice. Other than that, though, it's scenic and private-- great for a smaller intimate event.
This is a lovely property. The rooms are spacious, and some include whirlpool spas on the private balconies.
Now, these spas are clean, and very nice indeed, but they use so much hot water both when being used and when being cleaned in the mornings that getting a hot shower is really difficult. I asked the management to look into the issue, and they told me to wait a while and try again. When I called back hours later, someone else told me that I might have better luck showering early (like 6 am) in the morning. Wow. Yeah, that is exactly what I want to hear when I'm on vacation.
Other than that though, this is a great hotel for a quiet and romantic weekend of staying in and soaking in the tub. Get the AAA discount if you can.
I was dreading my birthday. The big three oh. That's right, I'm now officially an adult. So to live in denial for the weekend, I wanted to get away. The past two years I've gone to Monterey/Carmel for my birthday, but this year I wanted to stay a little closer to home. I've always been intrigued by Morro Rock. I mean, it's just so G.D. cool, geologically speaking. So I decided Morro Bay was the place for me.
When I heard that the Inn at Morro Bay was in the state park, I knew it was the perfect place. I booked a Petite Queen Room for two nights. It was around $100 a night and the emphasis is on petite. The sink was in the bedroom and there was no bathtub. But it was nice and clean and comfortable. The room included a table and chairs, cable tv, refrigerator, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, and coffee maker.
The area that the hotel is in is just lovely. It's just on the edge of Morro Bay State Park, on the water nestled between the golf course and the Blue Heron Rookery. The boy was a little worried about the noise level from the birds, but as long as the window was closed we couldn't hear them in our room. The hotel does provide gas-station-style squeegees with paper towels in the parking lot in case the birds do more to your car than make noise.
I was absolutely fascinated by the birds flying around and in the trees around the hotel. I saw Turkey Vultures, Double Crested Cormorants, and Snowy Egrets. There is a trail that runs along the rookery and the beach up to the Natural History Museum. There is a smaller trail that you can take to the top of the rock next to the museum that has lovely views of the bay and Morro Rock.
I would definitely stay here again if I find myself in Morro Bay.
I've now stayed here twice, and both times, I've been very satisfied with my visit. First time was about 5 years ago, and then this past weekend. The first time I visited, they still had the spas on all the balconies--v. nice touch, and we used it a lot during our stay. Also, I could have sworn I remembered having a bathtub in the room (both stays were on the second floor of the pool/garden view rooms, facing the ocean--the top tier of rooms on the property), but this weekend there was a very small shower with just a curtain and a stone curb--looks pretty, but absolutely flooded the bathroom--and we were trying to be careful! This weekend I noticed that some of the balconies did have spas on them; unfortunately, not our room.
That said, we had a very pleasant stay this past weekend. The staff was friendly and helpful--we got some package that included a bottle of wine (we opted for the champagne, which they brought promptly to our room when asked) and a pay-per-view movie (which we didn't think we would get, but we ended up back in the room after dinner, not quite ready for bed yet!) for $169 plus tax (only available through 6/30/2008, I believe). The bed was very comfortable, and best of all...it was peaceful and quiet! I will definitely be back here!
4 stars and not 5 because of the shower...and lack of spas on all the balconies. 2 "$$'S" and not 3 because of the package rate we got. If it had been over $200, it would have gotten $$$...
This place was an amazing getaway for my GF and i when we lived in Santa Barbara. If you go on a Sun-Thursday, they have a package (or at lease used to) where you get a hotel room w/ a partial ocean view and a 60 dollar voucher for the restaurant for between 180 and 200. Thats a ridiculous deal. The restaurant is quite good, however if you want you could go to dinner elsewhere and either booze up and eat some dessert there or booze up and get appetizers.
The little hot tubs on the balcony are great, they are not the sweetest hot tubs i have ever seen but they do the job. Fireplaces are also key.
Service is great, i remember we needed a knife for some cheese and the lil 16 year old bell boy was running t our door in seconds. Literally running. Poor guy tho, i think he has seen some interesting couples action there or something bc he seemed very scared coming to the door.
I have yet to find a place that is this good of a deal, and that package is a steal.
We chose to spend our first wedding anniversary in SLO and after scouring the internet for reviews of the place (Yelp I suppose was in its infancy at the time), we took a chance and decided to stay at the Inn At Morro Bay.
The first positive was when I called to make reservations and they gave us a double discount for being a AAA member and that it was our anniversary!
Back when we stayed here reviewers had mentioned the place was a little dated but I thought the room was fine and totally loved the fireplace and the hot tub that came with our room (ALERT: reading other reviews, it seems that not all rooms have hot tubs anymore! I'd confirm that first if you go). The inn is up against the bay with a beautiful view of Morro Rock. Even though the lot is also next to a bird sanctuary the critters cannot be heard from inside the rooms and the area really is quite serene.
The Morro Bay Golf Course is situated just across the street from here and a free bucket of balls was included with our stay. So we checked out the range but didn't play the course. We weren't really into the game back then but we knew that if we ever did pick it up, we'd be back to play this course. How could we not? The views were absolutely spectacular!!
The only thing that I wasn't thrilled about were the bathrooms. If they haven't already, they need to update those. I used flipflops in the shower because the tile inside was turning black--ICK. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay at this boutique hotel.
Johnny Cash once stayed here in 1988. Thats why I give it 1star. But he should have fired the room coordinator for not going to San Luis.
If you need a party venue be prepared for a shocking pricetag and an obsurd room block commitment. This place is too dated for Santa Barbara prices.
We got an incredible deal for a petite room over the Thanksgiving holiday, and were really impressed by this hotel. Our room was great, especially given that it's the lowest rung on the price ladder - it had a mini-fridge, good sized bathroom and TV, and plenty of space for all our junk. It was also located at the quiet end of the property, with good access to the nature trail. Which brings me to...
Location! If you want to get away from the city, this is the place. It is actually located *inside* Morro Bay State Park! All the other inns that we saw were in the town. We could look out our door and watch herons and cormorants roosting in the trees, then walk along the coastline to the park's nature center overlooking the bay. If you continue on the nature trail past the nature center you'll get to a marina and a piece of land overlooking the saltmarsh - fantastic birdwatching! The waterfront section of the hotel has a great overlook of Morro Rock.
Restaurants are an easy drive from the hotel into the town, if you were up for it you could use the free cruiser bikes the hotel provides for guests.
Searching less than a week before Valentine's Day for a place that didn't look like a cheap motel, most places that had availability were charging $200 for that Saturday and/or requiring 2-night stays. Luckily I came across the Inn at Morro Bay when I was searching for boutique hotels in the area, and booked their last pool/garden view king room for one night for $169 before tax. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. We arrived at the inn that evening and were happy that the staff was able to put us in a room with a fireplace which made for a cozy stay during the cold weekend! Our room was spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. I loved the inn's setting in the Morro Bay State Park. When we went to the lobby to check out the next morning to head to the next destination of our Central Coast road trip, we caught the beautiful ocean view of Morro Rock from the hotel's bar and restaurant where they had live jazz the night before. Too bad the weather wasn't nicer that weekend or we would've taken the complementary cruiser bikes around the park and out to the downtown. I do wish that they had better soundproofing as we were able to hear our neighbors walking around upstairs early in the morning, but I still preferred our downstairs room with a fireplace to an upstairs room without one.
I stayed with my wife here on our honeymoon and it was amazing. The place has an amazing view and location. It is the only inn in morro bay to border the water. The view is amazing if you get a room that has a bay view and make sure you send the extra money to have a room with a hot tub on the balcony. The staff is awesome and the breakfast buffet is great..
We love this beautiful little hotel. It is on the edge of a bird sanctuary and across from a golf course, so it is nothing but the ocean on one side and green as far as you can see on the other side. The staff is courteous and helpful. You will love the views of Morro Rock and the beautifully landscaped grounds. Hummingbirds are all over the place and it is quiet and peaceful. We love the inexpensive rooms since we are always out and about. But the pricier rooms are beautiful with small fireplaces and hot tubs. Many of the hot tubs have been taken out due to environmental concerns, so be sure that if you want one you mention it when you make your reservation. Else you will be disappointed.
I would not recommend the breakfast however. The time we ate there they ran out of food and the service was terrible. But there are plenty of great little places in Morro Bay to eat such as the Coffee Pot down on the Embarcadero. There is also a great little restaurant within walking distance from the hotel that serves lunch and dinner.
I've never actually stayed here but I have to say I do like their hotel's restaurant. They don't have a large selection, but what they do have is often very delicious.
Situated just inside Morro Bay State Park, about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this is an ideal getaway spot for anyone looking to escape city life for a few days. Two Cape Cod-style buildings house spacious guest rooms with a French Country decor, all non-smoking and each with a private balcony or patio providing views of the pool, beautifully-landscaped gardens, or the bay. Amenities include feather beds with down comforters, cable TV with pay-per-view movies, CD player, mini-refrigerator and coffee maker, phone with dataport and voice mail, and iron and ironing board. Most rooms have a hydrotherapy spa and fireplace. An on-site spa features deep tissue massage, aromatherapy, sea salt body scrub, seaweed wrap, and an essential oils face wrap among other services. Orchid, the in-house restaurant, has a Mediterranean-inspired menu and live music, and is a popular destination for locals, while the Bay Club, an oceanview piano lounge, provides a casual setting for bistro-bar fare. Morro Bay itself is a charming, picturesque town with antique shops and galleries, and serves as a good centrally-located base for excursions to San Luis Obispo, the wineries of Paso Robles, the artist colony of Cambria, or the magnificent Hearst Castle. Rates range from $99 - 429.00.
Excellent get away place that's superb to stay in during July 4 weekend, as the fireworks go off nearby Morro Bay in the evening. Depending on your room location, you might be able to see part of the fireworks from the hot tub. For serious golfers, the course is not far away. As GG has pointed out this location is perfect overnight stay for trips to Hearst Castle and Cambria (where the hotel costs are way higher). The July 4 fireworks are held by the waterfront in plain view of the Morro Bay rock (can't miss it).
For our anniversary I suggested San Francisco but hubby took control of the planning and he picked the Inn after reading some great reviews about it here on Yelp.
We were lucky to have a room with bay view and a hot tub (they are testing the new tubs so not all rooms come with tubs now) and since it was off season the price was very reasonable. The room was very nice and comfortable and the hot tub was great. We enjoyed our chocolate covered strawberries and champagne in it while listening to the rain.
For dinner we tried the Orchid Restaurant in the lobby. Great service and awesome food. We choose the prefixed menu and wine pairing and picked different things for two and shared. Way too much wine and way too much food.
After dinner we did a little dancing in the lounge where they had some great jazz music.
On Sunday I had the pleasure of enjoying a massage at the spa which made me want to melt and take a nap.
And to finish off our lovely stay at the Inn at Morro Bay, when we checked out they gave us some amazing truffles and wished us a Happy Anniversary.
Oh, and what really amazed me is the manager I think she was, without ever meeting me before asked me if I had enjoyed my massage that morning. Now that is great service... that just goes to show that the staff knows the guests at the hotel and are their to make sure their stay is the best that could be.
Overall a great weekend and a wonderful place... very highly recommended. Especially if you go off season so quiet and peaceful I didn't want to leave.
Lovely bayside respite, unless you are there on the evening of a wedding reception held below your room, then it's a little unquiet. Rooms are nice, easy walk to the restaurant that has a good bay view, great for watching the sun set. Unless you get a deal with AAA or someone else, it is rather pricey, and I would prefer to stay in town.
I smile everytime I think about this place because I have had so many fond memories of this Inn growing up. I have gone to many weddings here and I have to say that I have day dreamed about having my own wedding there myself one day. There are gorgeous views here and the food has always been consistently amazing. This Inn is nestled quietly along the Morro Bay estuary amidst the eucalyptus trees and sandy beach giving it the perfect location. There is so much you can do in the area should you be so lucky to get to stay a few days here. The Morro Bay golf course is just across the street should you want to hit some golf balls and enjoy the scenery. The Morro Bay Embarcadero is also a perfect street to get your shopping on for the day and get a bite to eat at one of the many cafes there is to offer. If you have the time though definitely check out Hearst Castle above all else, it is almost unreal how massive and grand the property is. It really is a magical place and a great date spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city while learning about the Hearst families history.
We recently returned from our 3rd stay at the Inn at Morro Bay. If I had been writing after my first stay, I would have given it 5 stars. Be warned, though, that the reason we kept returning, the private hydrotherapy spas on each room's balcony/patio, are no longer available. They removed all but 7 of them in the entire property, telling us that it was due to the fact that they were not self-heating or self-cleaning, which meant a huge daily waste of water. Needless to say, we were VERY disappointed, since Morro Bay is a little out of the way from the wine-tasting in Paso Robles we planned, and the venture down the coast to Pismo and beyond. While it continues to have comfy beds, the draw is no longer there for us, it is pretty much just another hotel in a pretty area. And to top it off, we went to the restaurant to have our Christmas breakfast and the staff was very overwhelmed trying to get a table together for a large group, and were very rude to the 2 of us trying to enjoy a morning when we weren't able to be with our families. We walked out, for what it's worth.
