Top Elfin Forest Preserve Hotel Reviews

456 Embarcadero Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice well maintained hotel in town. We loved the location since it's walking distance to everything and fairly quiet at night."

La Serena Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a wonderful stay overall. Our room featured a lovely water view from the balcony, and we enjoyed catching a glimpse of the Morro Rock just down the hall. The only downside was that we did not receive housekeeping during our stay despite requested it. However, the front desk receptionist was very helpful and brought us extra towels and a blanket so we didnt have to sleep on the mattress."

Inn At Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"I had such a great experience checking in, and I especially want to give a shoutout to Ethan! He was amazing from the moment I arrived—so welcoming, helpful, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay. He also took the time to recommend some great local spots and things to check out, which I really appreciated. His friendliness and willingness to help made my experience even better and was such a great start to my stay. Thank you, Ethan, for the excellent service and for making my stay that much more memorable!"

"This is a great location. Just a block away from the main area of Morro Bay. Very quiet and peaceful. The rooms were clean. Shower pressure was great. Beds were comfortable. Could use some updating."

Bay View Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff were nice with the early check in. Unfortunately they were overbooked and so we got partial view of the ocean instead of our full ocean view room. Room was clean and bathroom was nice. The room had one mini fridge and a microwave which we used to heat up left over and store our water. Noise level was okay other than the humming of the fridge. Will stay here again in the future. Location is convenient to bars and coffee shop. Thank you for having us. No pool."
