Perfect location! Central to everything. Can go on Embarcadero or Morro Bay Blvd for food or shopping. It's a steep hill so you get a beautiful view of the rock as you walk down. Got the ocean view so had a beautiful breeze. There are overhead cables throughout town which is a bummer - I wish all cities were able to put their wires underground to keep the views clean. The screens were busted but wasn't an issue since the bugs are just on the sand. It's not fancy, but clean and well maintained. They have soap and conditioning shampoo dispensers attached to the wall by the sink and in the shower which I appreciate as I hate all the plastic packaging for bar soaps.

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.
