“Perfect location, would definitely stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

Front Street Inn is comprised of two separate rooms on the second floor of a basic mini-mall. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are very cozy, spacious, and inviting. Both have king beds with cushy pillows and comforters, and comfortable places to sit and enjoy the great view of the main street, boats, and ocean. We could hear the sea lions barking outside and a distant fog horn during the night. Very cool, as well as soothing, to urban ears.

We stayed in the Hideaway, which had a king bed, two sofas (one in front of the tv and another that faced the view), a gas fireplace, a small fridge and coffee pot, and a large bathroom with jetted tub. It was very comfortable. I had the feeling that I was staying at a friend's really awesome guest room, not a hotel, which we happen to appreciate.

The only small detail that I would change is the bedding. My husband probably thinks I'm ridiculous but the proprietors really ought to consider non-printed, solid sheets. Floral bedding seemed a bit too homey and odd in a rented room.

Last thing I need to mention is that the French bakery on the first floor has delicious pastries and cookies. As a bakery snob I know what I'm talking about! It's a perfect breakfast option.

All in all, Front Street Inn was a wonderful place to stay and we plan to go back as soon as we're able.

“WHAT A SPECIAL PLACE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Wow, what a special place, the view is out of this world, the room is so so comfortable, & the aroma of the French bakery downstairs (Deborah & husband) is truly amazing, and the owners of the Front Street Inn & Spa - Tom & Val (Lulu - the dog) are TOPS!! just what it takes to make a memorable stay. We can't say enough good things.

Room Tip: There are 2 rooms both are great

“AWSOME STAY”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

This little cozy, clean, friendly, place is my favorite in Morro Bay. I will always stay there when I am in town. Thank you ladies for the wonderful hospitality and all the wonderful basket of goodies in our room along with the juice and water...Oh and the free cinnamon rolls are also delicious.

Room Tip: All of them are great but #10 with 2 full size beds upstairs is great, I have also stayed on the one...

Our hosts were great. The room is just like the web site with a fabulous view. The bakery next door was great too. Highly recommended.

“Nice rooms, nice owner, great location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2011

This tiny inn is my favorite place to stay in Morro Bay. The husband and wife owners are nice and the prices are quite reasonable for the beachfront location. You can walk to all the shops on the Embarcadero but you are closer to Morro Rock so it's a bit quieter near the inn. Bed was comfy, bathroom was clean and modern. They don't offer breakfast but there is a little pastry shop next door and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I love the view of the harbor from the room. Definitely look forward to staying there again.

Room Tip: Book in advance! Small inn fills up fast!
