“DO NOT STAY HERE. DISRESPECTFUL AND RUDE STAFF!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Ok, so three rooms we checked were a joke and nothing worked. We asked to leave, the lady, managers wife said we were beyond the cancellation policy. So we stayed. The sink did not work, molds everywhere, the pillows were nasty dirty, I took a picture. At night, they do not open the office door, just talk to you through the closed door, like they own gas station and you are a thug come to rob them.
When we came to complain at check out, the manager Andy I think his name started yelling, calling us names ( insulting my country and my people) saying that we want all for free ( as if charging people for treating them like pigs is ok) and refused to give out the info of the owner. The wife came out from the room and started yelling too.

So, bottom line, police was called and I am still trying to get my refund, which in my case is the least I should be demanding for. Dont spoil your stay at Morro Bay by staying with rude people like these. Not at least till they learn to treat their guests professionally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On fair note, the mattress was ok and the fireplace was ok. But it was not enough to make up for the rest!!!

Stayed December 2011, travelled with family

“Great hospitality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

We enjoyed our stay here, bought some great Californian wine but had no corkscrew or wine glasses! Andy and Kay supplied these no problem. room was clean and a very god rate. Coffee and muffin at reception next morning before we left. Close to surf beach, seals swimming around near restaurants, weather wasn't great,quaint little seaside shops made up for this during the rain.

“Fantastic Inn in a small beach community”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Generally speaking, Morro Bay and the central coast of California is quite costly when seeking good lodging. From the exterior, most of the inns/ motels/ motor lodges all look the same, but what makes the difference between them is the customer service, cleanliness of room, and quality of furnishings/ decor.

I ended up selecting the Bay View Inn because of the great special I found on the Internet. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly and courteous on-site manager who was knowledgeable of the area. Much to my surprise (bad luck with hotels lately), the room was very clean and a bed so comfortable, you could actually fall asleep.

The Bay View Inn is two short blocks from the wharf where you'll find many gift shops, restaurants, and even a coffee shop/ bakery. You can leave your car in the parking lot and walk. :)

California has many small beach communities, but what makes them more enjoyable is having a nice place to stay. There's nothing worse than trying to walk around with a backache because the hotel you stayed at provided sub-par beds. Well, not at the Bay View Inn. I have already extended my trip to Morro Bay for two nights because of this great little Inn.

To the managers here at Bay View Inn: Thanks for providing outstanding customer service. On my next visit to Morro Bay, I'll be sure to stay at Bay View.
