Great location for downtown Morro Bay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was laid out oddly, didn’t smell great, and the carpet was old and dirty.

Weekend Getaway - my wife and I stayed at the Bay View Inn for two nights as an escape from the heat in the valley. First impression as we pulled in was it was clean, fresh looking exterior and the grounds were well manicured. The front office staff was nice and check-in was a breeze. Our room was clean and the view of the bay, though partially obstructed by the new construction across the street, was very nice. We would stay here again but unlikely to pay the higher fees for the view rooms. The good - location! Bay View is conveniently located in the middle of the bay. One block to restaurants, shops, and activities such as watercraft rental, tour excursions and bicycle rentals. We never drove to a single place during our stay. The not as good - the room decor is outdated and house keeping uses way too much Lysol when cleaning. The smell was overpowering and we had to sleep with the windows wide open the first night. The fridge is old and rusty on the inside and was super noisy and the sitting table had wobbly legs so bad that we were afraid to use it. The last item is the area at the base of the stairs in front of the ice machine. It smells of urine! Bad. We avoided the ice machine completely. Aside from that - it was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. We would stay here again for sure and would recommend the Bay View to friends and family.

Enjoyable stay at Bay View for two adults and one child. Easy walk to numerous shops, restaurants and water activities. Room was clean, area was quiet at night. Smaller parking lot but accommodates enough for one car per room. Owner was very friendly and was able to extend our stay by another night without needing to switch rooms.

Unattractive bay view
We had a very nice King bed room with a bay view. However, the view is actually not very nice since the property across the street is currently under construction and the other properties around it are not very attractive. Yes, you can see the water, but what you mostly notice is how unattractive the rest of the view is.
