    Kelp Forest - view

    Estero Inn - Morro Bay...10/10! This was our second stay at the Estero Inn, and it truly exceeded our expectations once again. We had the pleasure of experiencing two different rooms during our visit, and both were absolutely perfect! Kelp Forest Suite (First Floor): This room was an absolute gem! The bay views from the large windows were breathtaking, and the sitting area right in front of them was the perfect spot to unwind. The space felt incredibly spacious and homey, with a cozy fireplace that added to the ambiance. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Morro Bay. Bay View (Second Floor): The view from this room was equally stunning, overlooking the bay. The room was beautifully designed and the private patio was ideal for enjoying morning coffee while watching the town wake up. It was the perfect way to start the day! The attention to detail in the design and accommodations is truly impressive. Both rooms were beautifully furnished, decorated to perfection, and spotless. We also loved the thoughtful touch of having quality coffee and tea provided in the room--it gave us the perfect excuse to explore different seating areas around the property, each one more peaceful and picturesque than the last The quaint size of the property makes for a more personalized experience, and the owners and staff really make you feel like family. Special shout-out to Connor at the Estero Adventure Shop--he was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us fantastic recommendations when we took one of Estero's boats out to explore the area. It was so fun getting up close to playful sea otters and enjoying the gorgeous properties lining the harbor. On a separate day, we decided to go kayaking , and it was the perfect way to see the bay. Since my last stay, they've created a stunning new wine bar on the property, and it is absolutely gorgeous--definitely worth checking out! The location is perfect for taking midday walks or enjoying morning bike rides around the bay. Every time I visit, I love discovering new local coffee, matcha, and food spots. There's never a shortage of great food and drinks nearby! Overall, exceptional doesn't even begin to cover it. I've also stayed at their sister property, the Anderson Inn, and these are the only two places I will continue to stay every time I visit Morro Bay. The attention to detail, hospitality, cleanliness, and overall care that goes into both properties is unmatched. The owners have clearly put so much thought and intention into creating the perfect stay for their guests. It really shows, and I couldn't recommend them more!

    Estero Inn was an amazingly beautiful experience. So thankful that are hidden gems like this in California that still exist. We were Very thankful to have made memories with such an accommodating stay. The rooms are walking distance to everything, you are staying right on the water, and there are great amenities for adventures; whether it be boating or golf carts to great hiking trails.

    The view!

    Estero is absolutely fabulous in every way, the staff, the rooms, the view. We had a wonderful experience there the two days we spent with them, but what put them over the top was when I realized I left my robe on the back of the bathroom door, the robe I used to get ready for my wedding day they were amazing and worked with me to get it mailed back. I can't wait to visit them again in the future! Frankie and Phoebe in particular were awesome!

    Great place to stay. Hotel, team very friendly. Walking distance to shops dining ocean. Even sea otters

    Morning view from the Morro Rock room ..

    Seriously a great stay ! You are right on the Embarcadero.. walking distance to just about anything in Morro Bay. The room was clean and had a great view . The staff was very accommodating.. thank you John ! The only draw back, the back of the air conditioner in the next room is on your balcony. We like to hear the white noise of seagulls and harbor , and all we could hear one night is the humm of the air conditioner in the next room. Don't let that remark sway you from staying here ... it's hardly ever warm enough here to warrant running the air conditioner.

    Location, location, location! Ocean View room was like a picture post card. Stayed three nights. Very clean, quiet, comfortable, and the staff were extremely helpful. Well maintained property. Fabulous views. Spent many hours on the deck watching the activities and wildlife on the bay. Lower deck with Adirondack chairs semi-private with 180 degree bay views. Tidelands park close by for an early morning walk or run. Many restaurants to choose from. Stopped at Bayside Restaurant in Morro Bay State Park for lunch and took an easy .7 mile walk along the Marina Peninsula Loop Trail at the South end of the parking lot. Enjoyed the Scarecrow Festival in Cambria, 20 miles North of Morro Bay, and the shops along Main Street. We would definitely stay here again.

    Absolutely exceptional, I stayed here for NYE with my partner and let me just say that from the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out, everything was easy. Moyra greeted us upon our arrival, super sweet and welcoming. The hotel was very nicely decorated and up-to date, something we totally appreciated. Clean, the sheets, bathroom ect. I can't stress enough how much we loved the complimentary tea and coffee, you guys had Peet's coffee k cups! (Our favorite coffee btw) so that just allowed me to add the fifth star. The view was also lovely, check out was at 11 am so we were able to enjoy the balcony as the weather was absolutely beautiful. Safe to say we will continue to stay here every-time we visit. Thank you so much!

    Fabulous inn! I thoroughly enjoyed my three-night stay at this peaceful, quiet, serene inn. Everything was just about perfect at Estero Inn. The Bayview Room was super clean, housecleaning service was A+, they brought you plenty of bottled waters, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The balcony got morning sun, so I enjoyed bringing breakfast back to the room and sitting on the balcony, even in December. I loved the fireplace, the cute, blinking Christmas tree, and the thoughtful little birthday acknowledgment with chocolates. I loved watching an otter try to crack open an oyster, right outside my room. The room had a fabulous view of the rock. For downsides, the toilet seat is skinny and kind of loose. And the barstools in front of the Bayview window aren't comfortable for sitting on for very long... It would be wonderful if they could be replaced with barstools that have some back support, so you can enjoy eating your dinner inside while watching the view. Estero is located in the peaceful, quiet end of town, which was wonderful. And it's still convenient... There are great restaurants across the street, down the block, and many more within close walking distance. I look forward to staying here again!

    Wow what a perfect place to stay while exploring Morro Bay! We stayed in the Kelp Forest suite and it was amazing. Spacious, clean and staff was friendly. The view from the room is so beautiful you won't want to leave! It's a small inn so you get very personalized attention (they sent champagne and chocolates to our room for our anniversary). Also, the location was very convenient to all the sights we wanted to see. We would definitely stay again!

    View from just outside of the room

    Wow, what a great little hotel. Room was just amazing. Ocean view, fireplace, big shower, just everything was perfect. One of the best stays I've had at a hotel. Staff was so super friendly. Book room on their website directly, I found better deals vs online systems.

    Robert G.

    We were greeted by John at the front desk and his hospitality and knowledge was second to none. This is a lovely boutique hotel, impeccably clean, well appointed with a fantastic view and delicious food within walking distance. Thank you for the wonderful visit, April and I had a wonderful time and we highly recommend the Estero Inn. We'll definitely be back! Cheers!

    Best place to stay in Morro Bay! We stayed here for two nights, and it was absolutely delightful. It is a great location close to everything! The property is extremely well-kept and clean. The rooms are comfortable,modern and we had a great view of the Morro Rock! The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will never stay anywhere else in Morro Bay. We also rented one of their electric boats and took it around the bay. Reasonably priced and a lot of fun.

    Went here for my husbands birthday and was greeted upon entering , very friendly .was sad to find out that we weren't informed ahead of time that they weren't serving breakfast due to covid. But the room was great and a balcony view of the water was perfect. It was in a perfect location .

    Kayaking in Morro Bay!

    We checked out this inn in person 7 weeks ago, the place we stayed last time had the most…read moreuncomfortable beds. I had read several reviews for this place saying how comfortable the beds were and how nice the rooms were. At that time the nicest woman showed us every room layout they had, even let us sit on the beds to test out the comfort level. The beds we sat on were way better than the other place. We also liked the different layouts of the rooms- the one with 2 separate bedrooms and the one with the kitchenette were our favorites- but we felt, at the time we could enjoy any of the rooms. They are also dog friendly if you aren't in the kitchenette room The reviews from before talked about a wonderful breakfast brought to your room each morning. When I mentioned it, the woman said they just discontinued that- the woman who was making the items had gone back to school in the mornings. She said they would be giving each guest a breakfast voucher for various small businesses in the area. This sounded like a great way to try out new places I asked if all the rooms had a fridge and microwave. We were assured they all did We booked thru a 3rd party for this trip. We stayed 3 nights- arriving Monday around 5 pm of Thanksgiving week There was a young man in the office when we arrived who said we were the last to check in for the evening He gave us our room keys and showed us the map on the wall to direct us to our rooms. He also told us parking is first come first served. We went to our room to store our belongings before heading out to dinner. I didn't see a microwave in my room- a must for my neck and back warmer for a recent injury. I went back to the office to request one. I was told he would look for one and get back to us. He came to our room 5 minutes later saying he couldn't find one. I explained I had been promised one by the nice lady when we came to look at the inn- he said she no longer worked there. That he had only been there a week He said he would call his manager and get back to us- but he left for the night without an update We asked him how to work the fireplace- but he didn't know We also asked to not have the maids come to the room while we were out. He said they don't come at all during your stays There is a binder in the room that tells you about the fireplace, as well as the location of some lockers to get "amenities" The locker has towels, tp, tissues.... There were also bikes and body boards available for use The rooms have been updated- but once in the room, it didn't seem to us that they were done well The bathroom floor is very slippery- we had to lay down towels for safety. The shower was not hot thru the whole stay- and water pressure is almost nonexistent There is a sign up in the bathroom about a 5 minute shower- no way you would get the conditioner out of your hair with no water pressure The fireplace wasn't working well... the tiniest of red on a log- and you can't really enjoy it from the bed. The tv is mounted above the fireplace- but it doesn't swivel- so you can't see it well from the bed The WiFi is a joke The beds were not as comfy as other guests reported- more were they as nice as the ones we had been shown a few weeks ago. We were in room 3 pacifica- they showed us rooms on the other side of the hotel The 2nd day we found a nice woman working in the office who was able to bring us a microwave. She did there were about 6 in the storage area. I asked if maybe the first guy didn't know where to look- she said that's where they always keep them. She stayed to make sure it worked when we plugged it in- the whole outlet didn't work in the front room The ironing board was broken- we were going to use it as a shelf for storage. The closest only had 1 hanger in it and 1 bathrobe. Which seemed odd there wouldn't have been 2. The coffee was in tiny refillable canisters. We brought our own coffee maker and coffee so wasn't an issue for us- but we both thought it didn't seem sanitary The fridge never did get cold enough- even though we had it on the coldest setting- so we ended up mostly using our big beach cooler In the 2nd day they cut back all the palm trees- grateful the woman who brought us the microwave warned us and we were able to move our car. We asked her if they would trim the ones right in front of our room- we had several stairs up to get in our room- and the palm fronds would smack you in the face when you tried to carry your stuff in and out. They did cut that back- very helpful But we were stuck in our room while the work was done. It was very loud There was always plenty of parking We didn't feel the beds we had were as comfortable as the ones in the other side of the inn- in room 3 the queen sized bed felt better then the king When we checked out it was another young man who also seemed new and inexperienced Hoping there is more training for the entire staff so everyone is on the same page

    Gabby, the supposed manager has a bad reputation, especially within online reviews…read more Even so, I was willing to pay $$$ as the rental I drove malfunctioned and I needed an immediate place to stay. Shortly after using a remote check-in service, I was locked out of my room and there was absolutely zero management onsite at this property...from early afternoon until the next day after 10am. That's also what a lot of reviews said. Gabby would do best working as a prison guard where she can exercise her authority as a self-proclaimed bully. Better yet, she should retire as she would likely be fired as being a bully is not okay, unless you're Gabby. Hope the owners know what she is doing to the property. P.S. I also got bedbugs here. So gross. Ugh.

    Had a stay last year with this Hampton Inn and would go back if in the area…read more Check in was easy and the bed was so comfortable my wife wanted to buy the mattress for our house online since we were looking for one. We got consistently good sleep here. Breakfast had decent food including kielbasa one day. Access to CA-1 is easy and it's not far to drive to shopping, Morro Rock and Morro Bay. Plenty of parking, keep in mind the high school next door when you exit the hotel.

    For a 3-star hotel, this Hampton Inn Morro Bay easily earns 4 stars from me…read more First, the good stuff: this place is really clean, comfortable bed, good pillows and nicely updated. You can tell they've put effort into keeping it fresh and comfortable. The staff? Genuinely friendly and helpful - great recommendations, warm greetings, and they actually acknowledge you as a member (which, let's be honest, doesn't always happen everywhere). Also...major bonus points for being dog-friendly. My pup was living his best life here. Now, let's talk breakfast. Or...my lack of breakfast. If you're plant-based, your options are basically: * Toast * Fruit * Plain oatmeal (if you're feeling adventurous) Meanwhile, my dog was over there enjoying what I like to call "my breakfast." Day one: cheese omelette. Day two: scrambled eggs and potatoes. Honestly, he was thrilled. I get that it's a standard hotel breakfast setup, but in 2026, throwing in one solid vegan option doesn't feel like a wild ask. Even a simple oatmeal bar or plant-based protein would go a long way. That said, everything else about the stay was great - clean, comfortable, welcoming, and easy. I'd absolutely stay here again... I'll just plan to bring my own breakfast.
