This is our favorite place to visit in Morro Bay -- we try to get there once or twice a year, and we've always had a great stay.

Right at the Beach
This hotel is very nice and clean. It’s located right on the Embarcadero so everything was in walking distance. The only issue was that the walls are very thin and our first night we couldn’t sleep well from all of the noise. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay!

It is located in bay side and good to walk around, and convenient to walk to the Morro rock as well as three stacks.

This place was really great for walking and just a short drive to visit Morro Rock and appreciate the Pacific Coast, see otters and seals. The new Maritime Museum is a plus also!
