I came up for the weekend to ride a 110 mile bike ride. When I was finished, I was cold, sweaty and needed a hot shower. Instead, I got the worst shower I have ever had at a hotel. The water was barely warm, the water pressure was on a flow restrictor so low I could barely wash my hair and rinse off. I was still totally cold. It was very disappointing especially after paying $240 per night. I understand hotels trying to save money but a hot, decent shower is a basic necessity and should be provided to every guest.

Great location for downtown Morro Bay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was laid out oddly, didn’t smell great, and the carpet was old and dirty.

Weekend Getaway - my wife and I stayed at the Bay View Inn for two nights as an escape from the heat in the valley. First impression as we pulled in was it was clean, fresh looking exterior and the grounds were well manicured. The front office staff was nice and check-in was a breeze. Our room was clean and the view of the bay, though partially obstructed by the new construction across the street, was very nice. We would stay here again but unlikely to pay the higher fees for the view rooms. The good - location! Bay View is conveniently located in the middle of the bay. One block to restaurants, shops, and activities such as watercraft rental, tour excursions and bicycle rentals. We never drove to a single place during our stay. The not as good - the room decor is outdated and house keeping uses way too much Lysol when cleaning. The smell was overpowering and we had to sleep with the windows wide open the first night. The fridge is old and rusty on the inside and was super noisy and the sitting table had wobbly legs so bad that we were afraid to use it. The last item is the area at the base of the stairs in front of the ice machine. It smells of urine! Bad. We avoided the ice machine completely. Aside from that - it was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. We would stay here again for sure and would recommend the Bay View to friends and family.
