Top hotels in Downtown Morro Bay

Blue Sail Inn
The rooms and balconies look out at the bay and the waterfront. You can see the Morro Rock from the balcony. The staff is friendly and helpful. It has air and heating, but the temps were very mild. I highly recommend it.

Blufftop Inn & Suites - Wharf/Restaurant District
The room was nice, the cleaning staff on point! The only critique would be office hours are limited, and though only a block, the hill from the hotel to the warf is extremely steep to walk. Great stay, great room.

La Serena Inn
All are good. Very clean. Only minus is the running water from next door can be heard from our room. But I will comeback to this hotel for all the good reasons.
