Overall a nice place to stay. The check in was "beautiful, beautiful" and location is great to watch the seals and sea lions and close to food and shopping. Would stay here again.

The Bayfront Inn is an underrated gem on the Morro Bay waterfront. Bargain pricing, clean rooms, big tile walk-in showers, a great little outdoor hangout area and Frankie & Lola's incomprable breakfasts next door...all that, and walking distance to the water where you can check out seals and sea otters. Look no further!

This is a beautiful location where you hear sounds of seagulls and sea lions. The room is small but had everything I needed. It was self check in because the office is open for limited hours. We enjoyed breakfast at the small diner next door which fills up quickly at 7 am.

There was no AC. This should have been made clear in the amenities and I’m not sure that it was. While the weather tends to be cool the humidity is noticeable. No AC means open windows which means outside noise — people loud talking laughing interrupts sleep. Had to politely ask people to lower voices. TV remote didn’t work and limited cable channels. Otherwise, clean, quaint convenient to Morro Rock and bay.
