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!

It was ok. It was an overpriced 2 star motel. Good location but small room, everything was old looking in the room. In addition to it being overpriced there was an additional $30 pet fee for worn out rooms that a pet couldn’t really make any worse. I wouldn’t stay here again, but the location was great and convenient.

We loved the proximity to all things Morro Bay! Walkable to many restaurants, shops, and excursions, and quiet at night. Unfortunately, we were incredibly disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of the dog-friendly room.

The Bayfront Inn is an underrated gem on the Morro Bay waterfront. Bargain pricing, clean rooms, big tile walk-in showers, a great little outdoor hangout area and Frankie & Lola's incomprable breakfasts next door...all that, and walking distance to the water where you can check out seals and sea otters. Look no further!

This is a beautiful location where you hear sounds of seagulls and sea lions. The room is small but had everything I needed. It was self check in because the office is open for limited hours. We enjoyed breakfast at the small diner next door which fills up quickly at 7 am.

There was no AC. This should have been made clear in the amenities and I’m not sure that it was. While the weather tends to be cool the humidity is noticeable. No AC means open windows which means outside noise — people loud talking laughing interrupts sleep. Had to politely ask people to lower voices. TV remote didn’t work and limited cable channels. Otherwise, clean, quaint convenient to Morro Rock and bay.
