We opted to stay at the Sundown Inn for a one night stay as we passed through on a leisure trip to the San Francisco area. We found it on Trip Advisor and we decided to give it a shot. I can say that we were very satisfied with the accommodations and the price. The rooms are spotlessly clean. The location is within walking distance of the embarcadero and is close to restaurants. You will not find a better value.

If you are traveling on a budget and want to stay on the Central Coast- this fits the bill quite nicely!
It is not located on the water but it is within walking distance of the Morro Bay waterfront with its restaurants,galleries,souvenir shops and the other direction a movie theater, antique and second shops,funky coffee shops and more!

The room had 2 double beds, very clean, refrigerator, microwave, real coffee cups not just styrofoam- coffee maker and clean compact bathroom-shower only- no tub.

Quiet the Friday and Saturday night we stayed there- lots of lighting in the room-flat screen tv and fairly comfortable beds.

If you want a clean, basic place to lay your head down and a hot shower without breaking your budget- stay here! Also LOVE that it is NO SMOKING and NO PETS

We picked this motel because rarely have I seen so few 1-3 star reviews for anyplace on trip advisor. And if you read these, they have more to do with the writer's expectations than the hotel itself. If you want a spa, or breakfast, or free newspaper -- for heaven's sake, don't come here and expect them. If you want a motor inn the way they used to be - a clean, comfortable, friendly place to stay - this is as good as it gets. The place is so clean that, had it had a bathtub, I might actually have used it. The basics were provided and in good working order, the bed was comfortable and firm. Pillows a bit flat and hard for my taste, but I didn't bother asking for another. The owners were extremely friendly and accommodating, and would likely have provided another if they could. The reviews I've read here are pretty accurate. If this is what you want, you'll be delighted with it! (Oh, and the price, off-season at least, can't be beaten.)

Very clean and neat at a great price. We paid $50 and were upgraded to a king since a queen was not available. The dried lavender potpourri and in-room coffeemaker were nice. The downtown shops are just a couple of blocks away. There was ample parking for our truck and trailer due to the off-season but I wouldn't count on that being so during the summer. We travel for business and had to stop in SLO; after reading the horror stories about budget lodging there, we decided to make the detour to Morro Bay. It was well worth it and we won't hesitate to stay here again.
