We have stayed here several times over the years. However THIS trip was our last one. No one at the desk to check us in. In the break/snack room there was food all over the floor and liquids spilled everywhere. When the manager/owner showed up I pointed it out to him and in replied that someone was sabotaging the place and there was nothing he could do.

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.

When we arrived at the property there was a piece of paper telling us just to go to our room. Key was on the table. There was hair on the bathroom walls. Shower was small, no air conditioning or heat. Windows didn’t lock and smelled horrible. When I woke up there was two bugs on the bed looked to be possibly bed bugs. But I’m not a bug expert. Wouldn’t stay again. I hate to write this but would want to know.

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!
