Lives up to its name....very pleasant and clean with a very kind and courteous staff....can't wait to go back.

From the first initial contact to the last , the staff was amazing. We were celebrating our anniversary and when we walked into our room we were greeted with fresh rose petals in the shape of a heart on our bed, 2 swans made out of bath towels, and a hand written note congratulating us. There also were 2 helium, balloons tied to the lights. We have stayed at bigger resort hotels and have never had such personalized service. There was a basket for our dogs filled with treats and a ball. The Inn also provided a goody basket for us which had waters, candy, and other assorted snacks. The room was very charming with furniture you would find in a home. It had opened beam ceilings and hard wood floors. My husband said he felt like he was staying in a guest house instead of a motel room. Our room had a kitchenette which came with full size refrigerator, stove, microwave, and sink. The satellite TV provided all the channels we get at home, whereas most hotels give you limited channels. It was just a short walk down to the shops and restaurants. At night you could hear the sea lions out in the distance. We will definitely be back. read more

Pleasant Inn - Anniversary. - Hotels Near Me - Morro Bay, California

See all

Very cute place and was pleasantly surprised by it's retro-fabulous decor. Stayed one night with our doggies. We arrived late and the Motel staff called us to make sure we were on our way, which I appreciated. When we checked in, our room had all the doors and windows opened, which I found odd. I guess they were airing it out but it was a very cold night, so the room took a while to warm up with the gas heater. The king bed was extremely comfy, kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and pots and pans. Stove could be small to accommodate a larger refrigerator. The one available was small with no freezer. Our bathroom was very tiny and hard to move around in, but what do you expect for a motel. Very dog friendly place and reasonably priced. Walking distance to Main Street and Embarcadero. I would go back but would try a different room. read more

Dang! Wish we had known about this gem earlier! We are former morro bay residents and we stop into town to visit occasionally. I never knew what we were missing by staying at our usual hotel down the street. This place is ammmmaaaaaazing. Great rooms, super clean, pet friendly, family friendly, stellar location. I have already recommended this place to my friends who live in town so they have somewhere cool to recommend to out of town guests. So happy to have found this place! read more

My husband and I always stay at the pleasant inn. But lately it's been booked when I plan a short trip. We loved the "cozy room" in the corner o. The hall. Great staff and modern lean rooms! read more

What a find!! I work in a 4 star hotel in Los Angeles and out of all the 4 star hotels I have seen and stayed in while traveling for business or even my own, I have to say Pleasant Inn ranks up there.....I found a few pet friendly hotels in Morro Bay on Travelocity and after looking at a few photos went straight to Pleasant Inn, the lovely lady in the office showed me 2 rooms....for a small difference we went with a corner room with a view of the ocean....pet fee, can't beat it and the room was so clean, bright, big, decor just so charming, amazing bed, back door to a grass area, how can you beat that and a kitchen!! I LOVE the decor so much i may redo my bedroom to copy. Check-in was fast and easy, and I even got blankets, treats and extra waist bags for my furry little girls :) as well as where to take the girls, restaurants, outings....you name it. So close to the water and you hear the seals, wow! We absolutely wil be staying here on every trip to Morro Bay, we felt like we were in a private cottage. Brovo on the Reno, A+ to this Motel all around. Thank you Pleasant Inn!!! read more

We stayed in room 6 for two nights while in town for a wedding. Pros - Location is awesome; an easy stroll down to the waterfront. Elijah, who checked us in, was so nice and welcoming. Bed is very comfortable (and we are picky about that!). Our room was well appointed and sparkling clean. Our room was very quiet; did not hear our neighbors at all. In room coffee maker was well stocked with coffee. Cons - With the furnishings and king size bed, the addition of two people and our stuff made it uncomfortably small. There was just not enough room to put things and still move about. Would have been a bit better with a queen size bed. The bathroom is also very small and awkward. If you are a larger person, you might not be able to even use it. read more

Very charming, beautiful motel! When we checked in there were no other guests, and all the rooms had the doors open with lights on, it was very welcoming! The front desk had post cards WITH stamps, very nice! Everything was new, clean, and beautiful. They upgraded us to a room with a kitchenette, bonus! Staff was wonderful! My only (small) complaint...shower was small, designed forever ago, so not their fault, but not fun to shower in. read more

Clean, cute and conveniently located! My husband and I stayed here over the holiday weekend and would definitely stay again. The staff was very friendly both over the phone and in person. The room and the kitchenette were great- and super clean!! The complimentary bikes were wonderful for riding around the bay. My only complaint is that the walls are thin and we had a noisy early bird next door.... Otherwise a very "pleasant" stay indeed. read more

Love everything about this place! Awesome customer service and cleanliness. Nice and cozy and a short walk to the beach

Darling room, with a quaint little kitchen. Very clean, and my favorite part.... Comfy bed! We paid $89. Well worth it. There is only a shower. The bathroom quite narrow, but not a issue for us read more

Friendly staff. Easy walk in check in. Clean and neat rooms which have been recently done up. We stayed in the small room which was very small but totally bearable for the price and comfort that could be achieved. I would stay again without thinking. Apart from the very cool retro old school signage it also has very cute succulants, outdoor seating areas, book exchange library and other amenities. read more

Such a cute little retro inn. We stayed in room 8 for 3 nights and loved it. When we arrived to Morro Bay it was after 9pm but they made arrangements for us to get our key. The kids liked that they had there own bed to sleep in. And my little one loved the library. Will be back next year. read more

This little hotel is so charming and SO CLEAN! I loved it. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It had a vintage vibe and the staff was friendly, plus free wifi!!! We traveled up the coast from Palm Springs to San Francisco and this was one of our stops. This hotel was close to sea otters which was a fun surprise! read more

Awesome staff, amazing location and probably the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in. We had to cut our vacation short, but we will definitely come back. The front desk staff were so accommodating, genuinely friendly, and helpful. read more

A comfortable place to stay close to the embarcadero. The inn is cute and clean. We had a view of the ocean. Price was very reasonable! It even had a small kitchenette with the basics. No reason to drive when you can walk everywhere! I'd come back! read more

The Pleasant Motel was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise in Morro Bay. The staff is welcoming, the room is cute, very clean and it was so nice to brew a cup of tea in the kitchenette and drink it out of real ceramic cups. The Pleasant Motel will always be out first choice when visiting our son in nearby San Luis Obispo. read more

Great place! I can echo what others have said about cleanliness, lack-of-disgusting-odors, and friendliness of owners. I'll stay at Pleasant Inn again, which is the greatest compliment any guest can make. read more

Found this place by yelp review on a last minute detour into Morro Bay. We checked in at 830p, so not a lot of time to do anything, but that evening and the next morning, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were nice, bathroom a little small, but nothing horrible. They even have bikes you can rent to ride around town at no charge! Will definitely stay with them again when we come back into town. read more

Love this hotel and Amazing ,helpful staff! Drove down from San Francisco for a quick getaway and found this hotel. It's in a great location and has everything we needed. We are planning another trip there and we may stay a few additional days. read more

This is a great place! All of the staff is very nice and the place is very clean. There are potted plants and flowers everywhere and chairs set out so you can sit outside. Since I have a dog, I will be staying here whenever I come to Morro Bay. Thank you for a very fun weekend! read more

What a pleasant surprise to get to stay at this clean and comfortable place. the service was excellent and the room was so beautifully decorated. so nice to be able to walk one block to the Embarcadero and enjoy Morro Bay. I will be back! an excellent experience. read more

This place was the perfect location for some holiday shopping, and a little R & R! It is very close to the bay, shopping, & restaurants. We were able to walk to & from our room as we needed, due to its great location! The room was very clean & immaculate-clearly recently remodeled. Quite quaint, clean, & welcoming! read more

The Pleasant Inn is perfectly located within short walking distance to the Embarcadero and Old Town Morro Bay. We appreciate the pet friendly policy. Our room had a comfortable king size bed, kitchenette, and convenient parking. The staff is friendly and helpful with dining suggestions. We enjoyed the small size and charming style of The Pleasant Inn and would definitely go back. read more

This place is great. The room was clean with comfortable beds. The staff was amazing. They recommended great restaurants for dinner and breakfast. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the docks. They also have beach cruisers that you can check out if you want to role around town on a bike. I would definitely stay here again. read more

What a wonderful little place to stay for a weekend or longer. Came here for an anniversary with the husband and didn't really want to leave. Pleasant Inn has an amazing classic cottage, small beach town vibe. Our room was cute and cozy prefect for two with a tiny kitchen which would make a longer stay much nicer than a typical hotel/motel room. We lucked out and booked the end room with ocean view. Shower and bathroom are small but my 6'2" husband managed fine. Walking distance to great eateries, the beach, fun local shops, and a fun bar called The Siren with live music. The local farmers market was going on as we pulled into town as well right next to our room. Complimentary bikes are provided for guests to get around town for a more intimate local view. Morro Rock is an easy bike ride a few miles down the road. Morro bay is a fun little quiet beach gem and this place is the perfect place to stay and explore all it has to offer. read more

This is a wonderful little motel: VERY PET FRIENDLY, clean throughout, free WiFi and cable TV, comfortable beds and the staff is friendly and helpful. They provide a little lawn area and plastic bags and a garbage can for the dogs. You can bring a cat, too. The room rates are reasonable and the location is a block off the waterfront and town. You can walk to the shops, the beach, the Rock and the piers. I loved it! read more

I stayed here once last year and loved it enough to stay a weekend this year with the family. We have 2 small dogs so we had to find a place that was pet friendly. The motel is really quiet which I like a lot. There is a 10 pm quiet time which I really like since I am a light sleeper. The rooms are fairly small so a big man (or woman) over 6'3" may find the place uncomfortable. I banged my head on the bathroom sink once as I sat on the toilet so the bathroom is also pretty small. The beds are really comfortable and clean. The TV worked ok; the DirectTv was annoying to use but luckily we aren't TV watchers so it did not matter to me if it worked or not. The manager, I think her name is Sandy, is really nice and pretty accommodating. The motel is only a block from Embarcadero. Good bars and pizza places around the motel. On Fridays, there is a really good farmer's market a couple of blocks south of the motel. read more

The room is cute and 1 block from the beach. The beds are uncomfortable and have much to be desired. The bathroom is small, very small. 1/2 size sink, toilet is low and the while showering I hit my elbows on every wall while washing my hair. In order to wash my body I had to turn the waster off, wash, turn the water back on and burn myself. Maybe shower heads that you could turn the water off would be a good idea. The bathroom is far from functional and is only big enough for one person. I talked to the owner of the inn and he told me it was built in the 50's but did not seem interested in hearing how I was enjoying his hotel. Needless to say it gets 2 stars. One for cuteness and one for closeness to the beach. Next time in Morro bay I will stay elsewhere. read more

What an awful experience! We have traveled the world and have NEVER encountered anything like this We chose this place because it showed it was Pleasant Inn with nice photos. We arrived to find a cheap motel with the name Pleasant Motel (not Inn) which gives a whole different connotation. All the doors were wide open to every motel room so anyone could be lurking inside when you go into your room. It was over 100 degrees, the rooms had no air conditioning. When we asked the front desk person about the difference in what they post online of photos including their name she didn't know anything. We went into our room and the bathroom was nothing more than a small hallway which fit one person. When we put our clothes on the closet rack, the rack fell on our foot. We went back to the front desk to ask for a fan or something as the room was about 110 degrees with only one small window. Suddenly there was a knock on the door from a disheveled older man who said is there a problem? We asked who he was and he wouldn't answer. Repeatedly we said do you work here, are you the owner or who are you? He finally said, Randy. When we asked his position or if he worked there he refused to answer. He said, "who are you?" My husband told him his name and said we are the ones you charged 2 days prior to our arrival the full amount of $143 on our credit card. The man refused to answer who he was and just stared at us in a very menacing way. My husband asked for a refund so we could leave since we had no idea who this person was and didn't feel safe there. When the man finally left our door, my husband went to the front desk to ask for a refund. This man stood blocking the door to the front office and said this is private property, get off or I'll call the police. If you want a misrepresented property with a frightening character lurking around knocking on doors who refuses to identify himself, then this is your place. read more

What a really great place the Pleasant Inn is in Morro Bay...very relaxing any time of year. Clean, great location, reasonable rates and a friendly and helpful staff/team. My GF and I have stayed several times...it's the only place we stay in Morro Bay (when we're not camping). The upstairs suite is romantic and the rooms on the first floor are inviting too. Having a little kitchen is nice. Darcy has been awesome with suggestions on hiking, kayaking, views, beaches and off-the-beaten-path destinations. Five stars for the overall motel experience and welcoming attitude. read more

I have stayed at this motel several times. Having two dogs I travel with, my choices are limited. It is an old building with small rooms and tiny bathrooms. I booked room 1 for a short stay 5 days in advance. It is the only decent room this tiny place has. When I arrived I had been moved to room 3 without notice or explanation. Sandy was unwilling to come down from her couch and simply yelled down to the office when I asked why I did not get the room I booked. I was told my room would promptly be cleaned and after returning to the motel twice over the next hour and a half, it was still not finished. I requested a refund and again Sandy just yelled down from her perch instead of offering explanation or any form of compensation for lousy service to retain me as a guest. I will never stay there again. I ended up at the Edgewater Inn in Pismo and they were eager to help me salvage my trip. Had a great stay there, as always. read more

Loved staying at this 1-story, dog-friendly inn! The last time I was in Morro Bay, I stayed at The Bayfront Inn and thought they were the best....but the Pleasant Inn is a bit more modern, and the location was phenomenal. Located in between the Embarcadero and Main St. so you can easily walk to EVERYTHING therefore I loved the location. They also have an in-room fridge and microwave (and coffee maker) which was a great benefit over Bayfront. The King sized bed in Room #6 was very comfortable and the staff was very welcoming. The motel has about 9 parking spots available, and I was able to get a spot each night, but you may need to park on the street, which is also convenient and safe. The only downside I found was that other guests were smoking in front of their room (facing Morro Ave), and also as soon as they got into their car, and I could smell the cigarette smoke. (Bayfront Inn is smoke-free and I hope The Pleasant Inn follows suit one day). Oh, and the walls are really thin so a bit noisy, but hey, I expect that when you have to share walls! This will definitely be my go-to motel in Morro Bay! read more

This place really does live up to its name!!! Loved loved this hotel!!! Stayed in room 6!!! The beds were so comfy!! Close to all the bars. I will definitely return to this hotel! read more

Even though we just stayed overnight, the room, kitchen and the bathroom were very clean. Overall, it was a short but super sweet experience and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The owners pay attention to details and are making extra effort to make their customers feel special and appreciated. The only thing that wasn't like they said it would be is the wifi-it didn't work at all. But that didn't make our stay any less enjoyable. read more

What a gem! We happily stumbled upon this beautiful Bungalow, in Morro Bay, when every other pet friendly room was booked. We would definitely come here again! There were dog bowls and Treats in the room for our little four-legged friend!! The young lady at the front desk, Darcy, was very welcoming and told us good spots to check out in the local Town. There's even a brochure in the room that tells you which restaurants and beaches are pet friendly. If you're looking for a pet friendly hotel in Morro Bay just Steps From The Harbor and from the rock look no further. We will come back again! read more

My family and 2 kids stayed at this quaint little motel not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. The rooms looked remodeled, brand new and clean. The beds were very comfortable. We absolutely loved that it was walking distance to the main street and close to the rock! There was a boy in the lobby who was very friendly and helpful when we asked about restaurants. He also was great with my kids. We would definitely stay at this motel again! read more

We stayed in the "family suite" for 2 nights. It was perfect for us (3 adults, 3 kids under 9). The living room is light and roomy. There is a full kitchen (including pots and pans and a dishwasher). The bedroom has a king sized bed and a double which is perfect for a family of 4 or 5. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I'd highly recommend the Pleasant Inn if you're visiting Morro Bay! read more

When we were driving up the coast my husband and I decided to stop in Morro Bay and spend the night. We saw this cute little blue hotel and decided to give it a try. The beds and bedding were brand new and the rooms were very clean. I think they are doing a remodel so I am sure there are more good designs on its way. We really liked it because it was one block from all of the restaurants and the embarcadero. The front desk lady was very sweet and very helpful. If we stay in Morro Bay again we will definitely stay at the Pleasant Inn. I am curious about the new design! If it's anything like the bedding it should be very cute and charming! read more

We checked in a couple of weeks ago, unloaded the car into our room then went for a walk down to the Embarcadero. When we returned there was a note on our door saying we were given the wrong room and had gone in and moved our stuff to another room. We put our keys and cell phone in a drawer that she didn't move but luckily, we went in and they were still there. This was very wierd and eerie to say the least. read more
