It was a nice stay at the Bayfront. We did have some WIFI issues. Lori (front desk clerk) and owner John are good folks. Breakfast at Frankie & Lola's shouldn't be missed!

This was the best place I’d stayed in Morro Bay. The property was clean and there are lots of options for food and shopping not to mention it was very quiet. The rooms were small, but just the right size and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was very accommodating sweet and nice. I brought my dog with me and they just donated all over her so I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is in Morro Bay.

Left within 10 minutes. Room was claustrophobic and poor lighting. Just felt closed in. Very nice staff. Check in was easy and they offer cinnamon rolls for free. Unfortunately I checked out a returned my key due to the room. Outside patio looked nice

Our room was cozy and clean. It’s an older place but the location was perfect. We had coffee makers in the room and the maid helped with extra coffee. The only problem was the TV was only streaming and it didn’t work or connect to WiFi most of the time.
