Morro Shores Inn And Suites Morro Bay

Booked this place since it was a couple blocks from the beach. It wasn't a bad walk to the nearby beach, but we ended going to the beach about 10 minutes north on the freeway. The hotel staff was friendly. The breakfast isn't a disaster as portrayed by other reviews. Basic continental breakfast type food available, and can make your own mini waffles. Parking was fine, room was clean, etc. The only issue we had was that the air conditioner didn't work, which made the room stuffy at night. We were on the second floor, so we felt ok leaving the window open at night.

hotel was definitely outdated. booked this on our way to LA after visiting hearst castle. morro bay is a fantastic neighborhood for eating, sightseeing, and watching seals frolic. this hotel is a short drive to the nice row of restaurants. breakfast was not good. muffins came out cold - not room temperature - but cold as if they just came out of the freezer and did not have time to thaw. nice lady at front desk. no other contact with rest of the staff. this was the least expensive i found (around $200/nt) in the area so i can't complain too much.

there is a smell outside some of the time

Room looked like they had modernized it as some point but needs a good cleaning and maintenance. Beds looked clean but behind night stand and around edges of the room were dirty. The night stand light was broken. Shower hand rail was falling off the wall and bathroom had some burned out bulbs. Balcony didn't have any seats or table so besides opening for fresh air not really usable as a place to hang out. Check in and out was quick.

Stay was okay there. Just frustrated that you can't seem to get much for under $200 in a room these days. Mold or fungus in the bathroom..? There is no excuse for that. One and done. Art.
