Morro Bay Hotels

The Hampton Inn opened 2023, the first newly-constructed hotel in Morro Bay for many years, and it has a prominent location beside the main intersection in town, highways 1 and 41, a few blocks north of the center, next to the local school. The beach is a quarter of a mile away, Morro Rock just a little further, and there are two restaurants in the vicinity. Daily hot breakfast is complimentary, as is wi-fi. The hotel has an indoor pool, a fitness center and one meeting room.

Like most hotels in Morro Bay, Best Western San Marcos Motor Inn is located in the downtown area, in this case along Pacific Street, just 2 blocks from the edge of the bay, and an easy walk to many restaurants, shops and bars. As well as the bay, many of the 32 rooms (on 3 floors) have views of the Pacific Ocean and Morro Rock; they are equipped with a microwave & refrigerator, plus the expected amenities. Complimentary food & drink is provided twice a day - deluxe continental breakfast in the morning then an evening reception with wine & cheese. Special features of the hotel include an atrium lobby, a real log fire and the Hydra Therapy indoor spa.

One of two Best Western hotels in Morro Bay, the Tradewinds Motel offers 24 clean rooms, some with views of the ocean and Morro Rock, in a 2 story building close to the shops and restaurants of the town center - the bayfront is just 2 blocks west, and Main Street is 2 blocks east. A spa, hot tub, sundeck and free continental breakfast are the pick of the (somewhat limited) amenities, though the smaller scale of the inn means that rates are rather lower than some other places in town. The edge of Morro Bay State Park is 2 miles south.
