Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

Good location

Our room was large, with a nice balcony view of Morro Bay. The bed was firm and comfortable. Everything worked as it should. This hotel is just a couple of blocks from the Embarcadero. The check-in was swift and easy. My only complaint is that our room had a "wet dog" smell to it. I don't know if it was from an actual dog being in the room, or just the close proximity to the ocean. It wasn't a deal breaker, and I would stay here again. Very low price for a nice room very near the ocean.

The ratings did not match the experience. Room was semi-clean. Never felt clean enough to walk in the room without footwear. Old ripped and stained curtains. Chairs at the table in the room were stained and would not sit on without sitting on a towel. The chairs on the back patio were old, dirty and would not sit on. Cigarette ashes were on the table on the patio when we arrived and still there when we left. There seemed to be some recent work to change some items around and old pencil marks from where fixtures were mounted on the walls, along with unpainted, patched holes. Many of the rest of the walls needed paint and repair work. TV only worked half of the time and several visits from the manager were unable to fix. Walls and ceilings are very thin and were able to hear the conversations of the neighbors above us - all night long. It would have been helpful if the COVID-19 Room Cleaning schedule was posted when booking the room. Would not have chosen this location if I had known the room would only be cleaned after our 3rd day of the stay.

It was pricey but about the same as other were priced on the dates. Simple, small, but extremely clean and comfortable. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. Room was nothing fancy but extremely clean, entire hotel staff was friendly and courteous and professional. Would stay again and recommend for small family because it was centrally located to everything within walking distance.

Morro is small enough that proximity to restaurants and bay are quite close (5 min). Couple who run the hotel are accommodating and efficient. Had an issue with a TV and he arrived within a couple minutes to reprogram and make right. As with much of funky Morro the unit is a bit older but still nice driveup to first floor door motel. No outside noise from walk bys, a bit of second floor foot traffic, a bit of water pipes. Nothing though that caused us to be annoyed. Both bed and bath were clean and comfortable. Since the coast was blanketed in fog and fire smoke it was a unique stay.

Nice but noisy neighbors above us late past 1:00am.had to go up and bang on door to tell them to shut it down so we could sleeep. No help from front office. No one was available.

Everyone makes mistakes, I get that. What matters to me is how you make up for it. We arrived on Friday night, about 9:30pm for our Labor Day get away. Check in was at the lobby window(with COVID understandable) and was pretty straight forward, give credit card and ID, get assigned your room and keys, and fill out paper work. We opened our door and was instantly surprised. It smelled like pizza, the trash wasn’t thrown out. The beds were not made, the sheets were at least clean but they were folded in a pile on top of the bed. The comforters were thrown on top of the small table and those were definitely dirty from the last people that stayed.

It was great !

nice and quiet so lovely
