The best place to stay in Morro Bay. We visit 5-7 times a year and have tried a handful of hotels until we found this one. The location is ideal. You don’t have to deal with parking elsewhere because everything is walkable from the hotel. The rooms are spotless, every time. Staff is so nice, late check in is super easy. Rooms are good sizes and the upstairs rooms have a view of the Rock. The only complaint I have (but doesn’t deter us from continuing to only stay here) is the beds are quite firm/cheap feeling. I wish they’d throw some pillow mattress toppers on, but outside of that it’s perfect. You won’t find a better room for the price and it even beats some of the higher priced ones we’ve stayed at locally.

I recently stayed at the Fireside Inn for three nights. I was pleasantly surprised that the room with two queen beds was spacious, clean, and quiet. Despite being located on the ground floor the noise level was minimal. The only inconvenience was the small parking lot. When we left before sunrise, there were no lights on the exterior walkways near our door or in the parking lot. The location of this Hotel is within walking distance to the Embarcadero. It is also convenient to drive up the coast to Cambria and Hearst Castle. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel!

This motel is a great option for all your activities in the Morro Bay area. It is centrally located within easy walking distance to the Embarcadero and downtown. The room was clean and comfortable and check in was fast and friendly.

This hotel didn't meet our expectations. It's definitely not a 3-star hotel. Pros: The room is clean, the mattress is good, the sheets and towels are fresh and clean (though the standard sized sheets didn't fit the king mattress so that significant part of mattress was just exposed). Newly remodeled bathroom with clean countertops. Parking is fine though by late evening all spots were taken despite many rooms non-occupied. That's pretty much it... Cons: Front-desk is non-existent (even though stated all-day availability). We had to wait for 10+ minutes and ring a bell several times before someone finally showed up. Later, we haven't seen anyone there either at any time we passed by as well as at our check-out. Building is very old and worn out, no elevator. Room is fine but very smelly, with old carpets and greasy filthy surfaces everywhere they didn't wipe (e.g. doors and walls). In the newly remodeled bathroom they forgot to get exhaust ventilation (so it becomes misty every time after taking a shower). The water in the shower hardly flows at all, not enough pressure. Body wash container was practically empty, we put serious efforts to milk some last drops from it. And I don't know who designed power outlets on the nightstand lamps but you can't plug any charger in there except the smallest one as there's no room due to this design. We will try a different place next time.

If you're here to visit Morro Rock. I wanted to say that this place is super close to Morro Rock. It's only about 5-6 minute drive there. You can see the Morro Bay across from the hotel and hear seagulls in the morning to wake you up! The room and everything else was in good condition. I love that the room had a large enough fridge and microwave- a must have for me every time I reserve hotels! The bathroom had built in shower gel and conditioning shampoo. No bar soap or separate shampoo and conditioner-, so if you like these things separate, bring your own! I always bring my own incase because the hotels usually provide small bottles and we travel with more than 2-3 people. The lady at the front was welcoming and nice. We got checked in quickly. No noise from neighbors except from the seagulls in the early morning. One thing though, is that parking seems to be limited. We came back from dinner and luckily, we found one parking spot open, otherwise, i think we mighg have to find parking down the street. Overall, we only stayed one-night, but it was a good experience. Would recommend.
