Days Inn Morro Bay, Morro Bay

I called directly to book a room and the Manager told me he would work with me on the 72 hour cancellation, obviously to get a reservation. When I called to cancell more than 48 hours prior (which is what I told him that I would be able to give), he would not give me a cancellation number. When I called to cancel he denied telling me that he said he would work with me and would not cancel my reservation. I booked the room for 63.00 and they charged me 79.00 plus tax and removed it from my account. This hotel is criminal they are crooks and I would and will not recommend it to my worst enemy. Liars and crooks. So Sad.

I have to agree with most of the reviewers here. Days Inn Morro Bay is definitely one of the worst motels around... The room had a musty, dirty smell that bordered on the horrific. The views stink ---I paid extra for the so-called ocean view and had a view onto a parking lot with a flourescent light that shined all night. A true, world class dump. Days Inn ought to be ashamed to have its name on this place...

After a full night of traveling down PCH, we pulled in to Morro Bay, this motel was the only place with a room, we were tired and needed rest, we unloaded our car and went to our room, when we opened the door we were horrified! The room was nasty, it smelled of some organic matter not yet identified by science, the carpet looked like Buffalo had been grazing on it for the past 20 years, and the beds,...wow....it would take the writing of Stephen King to describe how terrifying they were. The walls must have no insulation in them and are made of paper, I could hear what the guy in the next room was thinking........Unreal...I will never stay there again.

What a disaster!! I called the 800 # for Days Inn. I asked for Morro Bay..I was directly connected.My cousin had done the same thing.. When we showed up on Friday, we had no reservations! When I called the # back, while standing in the office, I had been connected to San Clemente Days Inn!!! The man on the phone said "Thank you for calling Days Inn, Morro Bay!"..anyway the staff at the days in in MB was not very helpful or sympathetic of the mix up and didn't even apologize and looked at us like we weren't smart enough to book a room!! We went elsewhere! I think Days Inn needs to check into thier phone lines!

I made the mistake of not reading any reviews on this hotel prior to checking in and learned my lesson the hard way. Let me first say that this is not a terrible hotel; it's just average. There's nothing special about it though it is conveniently located near the main strip of Morro Bay. The biggest problem with this place is that they charge way too much for the quality of the rooms and the quality of service from the staff. The clerks at the desk weren't rude but at the same time they didn't seem too thrilled about me asking to rent a room. As for the room it self, well, it's just like any other room from a Travelodge, Motel 6 or other similar hotel chains. For the same price, I could and should have stayed at the Embarcadero Inn and had a nice suite with a balcony and ocean view! Bottom line, don't willingly stay here unless you're desperate for a room and don't mind paying for it.

I'm writing this review from the actual motel, and it's not as bad as some reviewers are making it out to be. If you've never been to Morro Bay before, you should understand how the central coast works. Every hotel is either VERY expensive and very gourmet, or it's a motel from several decades ago that's a bit rough around the edges. This is the latter. Pros: 1) The insides have been cosmetically upgraded recently, and it's not as bad as some of the Morro Bay places I've stayed. (If you want a really luxurious experience, however, get a suite at Ascott Suites up the street for about twice the cost). 2) We're staying here because it takes pets, and they were really cool about our dogs. We have smaller dogs, and they cut the rate we'd pay for dogs in half to help us out. (The pet rooms are separated from the rest, so no worries if you don't have pets with you) 3) The desk help is nice and has worked out all of our requests. 4) A few blocks from the Embarcadero and the beach and great shopping and dining (but virtually every hotel in Morro Bay is in the same stretch of road, so that's no big deal). 5) Easy, strong wifi connection with no password troubles. 6) The king bed is spacious and solid and clean. Cons: 1) It is a bit run down, but that's to be expected based on the price. 2) The tv's don't have HBO though they claim it does. 3) The rooms claim to have mini fridges, and the motel only has a couple. We got one, but we checked in early and had to convince the desk to deliver us one. 4) We have a trick door lock that either won't lock or won't unlock easily pending on the weather. 5) Right on a busy street, so the traffic is pretty steady. It's very quiet at night fall, though, when this city goes to bed early as it always does. I've stayed in better, I've stayed in worse. If you have dogs, this is a great option assuming you don't want to camp. If you don't have pets, you can get the same type of room for the same type of price all up and down Morro Bay's main street. It's not swank, but to get that you'll literally pay double the price here. As a final tip, you should call the actual motel itself to make the reservation. We have AAA, and the price was only $95 a night. The best I found for this week online was about $115 (it's the week of the fair, so rates are a bit higher).

Price was good. Toilet was loose on floor and it rocked when you sit down. Heater was very noisy. I left something in room whem I checked out. Called back later and they took my phone number. They were to check it out and call me back. No one ever returned my call to advise status. I called them daily on status which all was without results. My last call, they said it wasn't found which was a week later after check out. You would think a business that wanted repeat business would give you courtesy to return your calls. I will never stay there again.

Very average motel. After arriving in Morro Bay, we found lots of more interesting places to stay. Would spend more time trying to find another place to stay.

This place is a dump, and an overpriced dump at that. Booked an 'ocean view' room, and checked into a room with a sliver view of the bay between two dumpy apartment buildings. The room had a terrible smell (not that quaint beach smell, but the stench of dirt and bug spray). There was a rowdy party outside our door with a drunk baseball team harrassing my partner and I as we checked in. The couple at the front desk told me "there's nothing you can do about it", and even "you aren't the first ones to complain about that party". We immediately checked out and stayed across the street at the beautiful casa serena where we had a corner suite with unobstructed bay view, sitting area, wrap around balcony, robes, tub and separate shower, the works! for only $40 more than the Days Inn. Also, their front desk clerk told us we were the SECOND people to move from Days Inn that day. Pursuing the refund with my credit card company since the people at the Days Inn front desk refused to do anything about the problem.

I have stayed at other hotels in Morro Bay and for the price/quality/location Days Inn is hard to beat.
