    A Hidden Gem in Morro Bay! We recently had some work done at our home in Morro Bay and decided to stay at the Harbor House--and what a great choice it was! This centrally located hotel on Main Street is a clean, updated, and thoughtfully designed spot that made our temporary stay feel like a mini getaway. The views of Morro Rock and the sunsets from the property are absolutely beautiful--truly a sweet surprise. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone was warm and welcoming, and the owner was especially personable and attentive, which made the experience even better. We were super impressed and will definitely be back. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient stay in Morro Bay! Want to add any specific shoutouts or change the tone at all--more casual, more professional, or maybe even shorter?

    Location is great. The rooms were pretty standard but we enjoyed it. Some things in the room were broken which left us a little disappointed. One reading light didn't work, fan made a loud squeaking noise, the refrigerator was also very loud. Unfortunately the guests staying next to us were very noisy late into the night and the walls are very thin but that's not the property's fault. With everything said we probably would still stay there again

    This was a great little hotel that I booked at the last minute. Nice and clean,and priced well. The service was great! Love how they communicate via text to check with you about your stay.

    My best friend is addicted to Morro Bay because when it's sunny, it's beautiful and because you are seriously close to otters. I mean really, those otters are all over the place in the water and they are so punchably cute. Plus there's the Morro Bay Rock which just sits there majestically and come sunrise or sunset, it cuts a romantic figure with a sailboat drifting off the shore. You can't help but take a great picture of it from almost anywhere in town. So my bestie picked this hotel for us because she wanted a patio with a view of the rock. It was a good choice. Even though it was cold, I liked having an outdoor patio with chairs to enjoy the sunset. I really loved how the room had real mugs with hotel branding for your morning hotel room coffee. I know that's a weird thing to take note of, but I've spent the last month living out of my suitcase, going from hotel to hotel and most places don't count on the kindness of their customers to not steal their hotel branded mugs. Usually it's styrofoam cups, but this was a nice touch. The hotel is clean, located in a not too sketch area. Even though there is a liquor store across the street with definitely sketchy characters, they don't come over. Besides, that liquor store is pretty cool because they have souvenirs and tons of wines and even travel sized bottles of booze and they have a lot of fun snacks.

    This room is perfect for the price! Right next to a bottle store, walking distance to everything else. The ocean view rooms give you a great view of the rock with a little balcony to sit on. The beds are super comfortable and the rooms are modern. They are very dog friendly, each time we've checked in with our dog they give us doggie bags and treats! They have a dog wash station and everything. This is our go to place in morro bay and can't wait to come back!

    We do appreciate that this is a pet friendly hotel. They do not have breed or size restrictions like many hotels in the area. This is an absolute no frills hotel. We were disappointed that the staff that we loved back in November appear to no longer work here. It appears there has been a complete overhaul of staff from what we experienced last visit. The beds are very uncomfortable- they are very soft- if you like soft, then this is the hotel for you. Hubby and I both had the worst back pain here. The second night my hubby put 1 mattress on the ground- that helped a bit. As an added bonus, my sweet Fuzzy was able to join me on the bed. These beds are super high, and she isn't able to jump up on them. They do give you a little swag bag when you check in for your pup, last time it had yummy treats inside that Fuzzy absolutely loved, and we were able to buy her more inside the gift shop in the lobby. This visit there was 1 Costco brisket inside and and a doggy poop bag holder with poop bags, they now have the hotel name on them. The room also had cups and mugs with their name on them- you can also now buy these in the gift shop as well. They now have beach things you can rent at the front desk- should you want, need anything. We do like that we are able to book a ground level room since we have a senior dog who can't climb stairs. We also like the patio area. There is a picnic table out there as well. However, you can hear the people above you. It sounded like they were bowling up above us. Also, 1 of the nights there were some guys above us who were sitting on their balcony drinking beers and cussing. We had the slider open originally to get the refreshing ocean breeze, but we didn't want to hear their conversation, and they kept chucking their bottle caps into our patio and laughing about it. I could see that 1 might have been a mistake... but 6, this was no accident.... plus the laughing Check-in time is 3pm, at 2:05 we received a text saying for $25 we could check in early. Check-out time is 11. We checked in just after 3, we were visiting with another couple who were interested in meeting our dog. We were telling them our favorite restaurant was Taco Temple, and they just have to go eat there. They will love it. The older woman working the desk interrupts us to say she hates Taco Temple. She said cabbage doesn't belong on a taco. Not sure why she had to interrupt us. We were having a nice conversation while she was checking other people in. What happened to if you don't have something nice to say.... There is plenty of parking here Easy walk to downtown MB Liquor Store across the street- great breakfast burritos

    1st time staying at this inn with my dog Arrived a little after 430 to check in Located off Main Street near walking distance to old town Morro bay - liquor store literally across the street and walking distance to shops and eateries Free parking available Wifi available Pet friendly ($25 a night) plus taxes Camera on site Check in time after 3pm checkout 11am Check in was easy with ID and credit card Small washing station for your dog located right across check in area Vending machine for drinks / ice available In the room microwave / kurig coffee set up available / small fridge / sitting area - plantation shutters Walk unit ac / ceiling fan Plank style flooring Bathroom spacious with traditional set up and plus a small window Can hear through walls slightly and pincher bugs appeared out of now where which apparently is common for this time of year Location i felt was safe, lit well especially for solo traveler Couldn't hear other dogs barking or making noise Grass patches for dog needs along with being in an accessible neighborhood To walk to town small hill or walk through old town Morro bay and take the centennial stairs that will lead to "downtown" and everything connects A place I would return to along with my dog - accessible to the main sites, shops and restaurants, and reasonable rates compare to other places

    This was great as it was quiet and I had a partial view of the rock and the beautiful sunsets.

Many reviewers mentioned how clean the property was and how comfortable the beds were, so I came in with high expectations, especially since it has a 5-star rating on Yelp. Upon arrival, I was greeted by who I believe was the owner. She was incredibly kind and took the time to explain how everything worked, including the air conditioning and refrigerator. From what I could tell, she and her husband are the primary people running the inn, and they were both wonderful hosts. Throughout my stay, they checked in to make sure everything was going well, which I really appreciated. When I walked into the room, the reviews were absolutely right. Everything was spotless--from the bedding and carpet to the bathroom. I was also pleasantly surprised by the shower's water pressure. At many hotels it's either too weak or inconsistent, but here it was just right. The bed was also very comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. This isn't a luxury hotel, but it does exactly what it promises, especially for the price. It's clean, comfortable, and conveniently located near downtown and the pier. If you're looking for an affordable and well-maintained place to stay in the area, I would highly recommend this inn.

First of all, it's affordable, which means more cash left over for fine scotch and local adventures. The rooms are quiet, clean, and refreshingly minimal--none of that unnecessary hullabaloo. Just the essentials, delivered with class. And let me tell you about the "Magic Fingers" bed feature. Great Odin's raven! Nothing says luxury quite like a soothing massage after a long day of strolling around town. Then, when you emerge from the shower like a majestic sea lion, there's a heat lamp waiting to warm you up. It's the kind of innovation that makes America proud. The customer service? Fast, friendly, and more dependable than Baxter guarding a wheel of cheese. The staff made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Location-wise, this place is in a prime spot. It's close to all the worthwhile shops and cafés, making it easy to enjoy the best of Morro Bay without having to embark on some epic quest. Would I stay here again? You stay classy, Sundown Inn. You stay classy.

You can tell they've put effort into keeping it fresh and comfortable. The staff? Genuinely friendly and helpful - great recommendations, warm greetings, and they actually acknowledge you as a member (which, let's be honest, doesn't always happen everywhere). Also...major bonus points for being dog-friendly. My pup was living his best life here. Now, let's talk breakfast. Or...my lack of breakfast. If you're plant-based, your options are basically: * Toast * Fruit * Plain oatmeal (if you're feeling adventurous) Meanwhile, my dog was over there enjoying what I like to call "my breakfast." Day one: cheese omelette. Day two: scrambled eggs and potatoes. Honestly, he was thrilled. I get that it's a standard hotel breakfast setup, but in 2026, throwing in one solid vegan option doesn't feel like a wild ask. Even a simple oatmeal bar or plant-based protein would go a long way. That said, everything else about the stay was great - clean, comfortable, welcoming, and easy. I'd absolutely stay here again... I'll just plan to bring my own breakfast.
