This was a nice motel close to the Embarcadero. Morro Rock is visible from the second story outdoor area. Nothing fancy but a mini frig and microwave are essential for me. No elevator so if you have limited mobility (I recently had a knee replacement), be sure the room you book is on the first floor. I had to downgrade from a King bed on the second floor to a Queen bed on the first floor but didn’t receive a refund because it was prepaid. Live and learn.

Bay View Inn is a good value for a short stay in the Central Coast area. It is a motel-style property with thin walls, so there is a considerable amount of outside noise that makes it into the room -- seagulls, sea lions, your neighbors, etc. Beds were comfortable so the sleep was good in the end. My wife says the room furniture was situated poorly but our room did come with a fridge and microwave, so there's that. All in all, a solid operation with generous rooms for the price -- $477 total for 2 nights, king bed, oceanview.

Disliked: Amenities
Agree that the place is dated, but appears they are in a slow process of updating. Check in was easy, thought it unusual that front desk person wouldn’t take an empty water bottle, instead directed us to an outside dumpster. Went to room, not sure if it was because of an older stained carpet but wife thought the room had the odor of a cheap cologne. Bathroom shower was updated, but upon taking a shower realized soap dispenser was empty. We alerted front desk they apologized and corrected. Bathroom wall needs to be painted. A couple of the shutters were broken so they wouldn’t stay open. They did have a nice outdoor seating area, that wasn’t set up to use (chairs stacked, tables dirty). Will admit this place is perfectly located for walking to shops in the downtown area and to the Embarcadero.

This has got to be the best hotel for the greatest price! And it’s a great area so close to the downtown area. And the rooms were the cleanest I have ever experienced EVER traveling. You can smell the cleanliness and feel it. I highly recommend coming here for your stay. They earned every star I gave them and many more! I love this place I will be coming here more often.
