Love Seagulls then this is you place!

Big trucks in parking made it impossible to park. No air conditioning but did find day two a fan which also blocked out the sound of the sea gulls which were no joke noisy all night. If you just need a place to sleep and close to water then probably okay.

The Morro Crest In. Was the best wonderful suprise of our road trip! The front desk was kind and helpful, the room was the best in our opinion! Quiet at the end on the upper floor with a beautiful view of the sunset and Morro Beacb rock. The room was so clean- remodeled and still classic. The bed was the best rest all trip. We will be back! So much natiural beauty to explore close by too❤️🐬

This was such a cute, small adorable motel! The price was right and the location even better. Cute room, nice shower, comfortable bed (mini shampoo/soaps). I liked that there was a table with 2 chairs, a ceiling fan and dimmable light. The parking was tiny, but it worked! Super friendly staff. Easy check in and out. Will definitely stay again.

Staff was accommodating and made out late arrival easy and convenient. Close to everything that Morro Bay had to offer. The only less than 5 Star rating would be the comfort of the beds.
