Top Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Blufftop Inn & Suites - Wharf/Restaurant District

10/10 Excellent

"Great location friendly staff super comfortable and clean rooms"

Rockview Inn and Suites - Morro Bay CA

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet nice stay all was just fine. I had the supplies and amenities needed, parking close to my room and it was all very relaxed and quiet and walkable!"

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

8/10 Good

"Harbor Inn was fantastic! I have relatives in a nearby town so I have stayed in many hotels in Morro Bay over the years, but this was my first time staying at the Harbor Inn. I will definitely stay again! The property was very clean, my room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. If you arrive after 10 they have an after-hours check in process (involving a code and a lockbox) and that worked out perfectly. The only reason I am giving a 4 instead of a 5 is I wish the window lock type-thing on the bathroom side windows worked better as I was in a 1st floor room. The price for my stay at Harbor Inn was excellent. I usually just do a random search when I know I will be looking for a hotel in Morro Bay, but next time I will go straight to the Harbor Inn to see if they have availability. One of the best hotels I have stayed in in Morro Bay for sure!"
