The hotel has a great location, close to the bay and charming restaurants. The rooms, although average, are clean and come with helpful amenities like a refrigerator and microwave. The service was a mix of unhelpful directions but also very friendly and accommodating. The dining experience was below average, with dry muffins and limited options for breakfast.

The hotel was exactly what I expected in Morro Bay, lovely. The rooms were huge and had plenty of room for my five-year-old to play. They were very clean, warm, and in a quiet location. However, I had to park across the street due to no parking available.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and perfect for my child to play. They were impeccably clean and cozy.

Service

5.0

The service was not professional and not welcoming upon check-in. It felt a bit rude, and the staff seemed stingy on everything. They even tried to give us a worse room than what we paid for.

Location

7.0

The location was the only plus point. It made it easy for me to walk to restaurants, pubs, and shops. Despite not having a fireplace as advertised and a small bathroom, it was still sufficient to recommend Bay View Inn. It's close to the shops and the Embarcadero where all the action is.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was not impressive. The dining area was tiny and barely able to hold three tables. I would suggest planning to bring your own food instead.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just a short walk to the northern end of the Embarcadero where all the action is in Morro Bay. The rooms were clean and nicely updated, providing a cozy space for me and my husband. The service, although a bit stand-offish initially, improved during our stay. The dining options were lacking, but the convenience and charm of the location made up for it. Definitely a great value for exploring beautiful Morro Bay.

The dining options were lacking, with basic choices for a relatively high price. It would be great to see more variety and earlier serving times.

The facilities were average with some minor inconveniences like limited parking spots. However, the proximity to the area's attractions made up for it.

The hotel was very clean and conveniently located within walking distance of the beach, offering a great view of Morro Rock. It easily accommodated a group of five during our road trip, with good staff and hassle-free check-in plus free parking. However, there was a slight unsettling feeling of being watched that prompted us to check for cameras.
