This was a charming property in a great location—just a short walk to the harbor and shopping area. The room was on the smaller side, which was expected, and appeared clean overall. However, I did notice some small bugs in the shower, which was a bit off-putting. Check-in was smooth, but keep in mind the office closes at 5 PM, so be sure to arrange an alternate plan if arriving later. For the price, it met my expectations. I would consider staying here again if I return to Morro Bay.

Cons: Room was very small and if checking in past 5pm, the room left unlocked with key inside. Also the ceiling fan had dust bunnies falling on us. Pros: Awesome view of Morro Rock, dog friendly and very comfortable bed. Plenty of parking and easily can walk to pier.

Two day getaway

I’ve stayed at the Bayview before, nice place, close to restaurants on the Embarcadero. My dog likes it too. The only problem I had was that I couldn’t get ice after 1700, it was locked up. I made sure that I got two buckets the next day.

Amazing location. Right across the street from the water. Great places to eat. View of the ocean and Morro rock. The room, well… The room was on the second floor. It had some soft spots on the floor and it was outdated and a little dirty. Only one room cleaning available per stay. Better that sleeping in your car.
