“We loved our stay at Morro shores. Room and facilities were super clean and the beds are really comfortable! Walking distance from restaurants and the beach. We had a great night sleep. Jose in the front desk was super personable, attentive and hospitable. Thank you for a great stay!”

“We stayed here while driving from SF to LA and needed a convenient stopover at Morro Bay. For the price and location, this hotel works really well. It’s right off the highway, making it easy to get in and out, and there are gas stations and essentials nearby. That said, the property is quite old and it shows. The room felt dated, especially the heating/AC unit, which was very loud—we had to turn it off during the night. There’s a fireplace in the room, which was a nice touch, but it heats up the space quickly, so we had to switch it off after a while. The bathroom could use some upgrades—the showerhead was old and the water flow was slow and inconsistent. The bed was comfortable, but the floors didn’t feel very clean and were a bit dusty. The bedside lamp didn't work. We were too tired so had to crash for the night. On the positive side, the surroundings are lovely. The property has eucalyptus trees along with some tulsi and mint plants, which give off a refreshing smell when you walk around. Parking is available, though it may depend on how busy the season is. Overall, for the price and location, it’s a good option for a short stay—especially if you’re just looking for a place to sleep for a night or two.”

“We booked this at the last minute for a one night stay. The manager of the hotel is great. He is working really hard to make this an excellent value. It is simple accommodations but it was all we needed. It is next to the highway but we didn’t notice road noise, particularly at night so we were glad about that. The rooms were very clean and it was a perfect walk down to the beach! Highly recommend!”
