Beach Bungalow Inn & Suites

My partner and I stayed at the Beach Bungalow Inn and Suites for a birthday trip this past weekend for two nights. We had read great reviews online, and were excited for our stay. Upon arrival, on my actual birthday, we were greeted in the office by a young woman who seemed confused and distracted. She gave us keys to our room, and when we arrived, I was incredibly disappointed with the room selection. We were given the Oyster room, the tiniest room in the hotel, and it felt extremely small and claustrophobic — not exactly a birthday treat. Since there are no phones in the rooms, I walked over to the front desk to ask if a mistake had been made, but there was nobody there. I then called the hotel 13 times total, and nobody ever picked up. Eventually, the woman walked over to our room with a tray of snacks and said that she had indeed made a mistake and had planned to upgrade us, but had put us in the wrong room by accident. I asked if we were moving rooms, but she said that we would be staying in that room. Apparently she mixed us up with another family who also had a last name starting with the same letter.
In any case, the room itself was nothing to write home about. The bathroom was extremely dirty; there were hairs everywhere and the bathtub is in desperate need of a renovation. The blinds were covered in dust, and the walls could really benefit from new paint. There was a guestbook in the room, and I found it odd that many of the entries were written in the exact same handwriting. Hmm.
One of the perks of this hotel is that they bring free breakfast to your room. The next morning, we received our two breakfasts and while we were grateful for the food, my partner’s eggs were severely overcooked (she had selected «eggs over easy» and they might as well have been scrambled) and we received one packet of butter for 4 slices of toast. When we went to ask for more, nobody was at the front desk and nobody answered the phone. Bummer.
Overall, we enjoyed Morro Bay and the central location of this motel, but for the price point and all of the stellar reviews online, we expected a whole lot more. When we went to check out, I walked over to the front desk in hopes that a human would actually be there so I could share my experience, but no. Not a soul.
We will return to Morro Bay, but unfortunately we will not be returning here.

Beach Bungalow Inn was a nice hotel, not worth the 4 stars it has received on Unilocal.We stopped on our way through town for business, and unfortunately this hotel is not business traveler friendly. Wi-​fi was so slow it was unusable for sending/​receiving emails and other basic business tasks. Ordering breakfast was a nice touch, although the 30 minute window wasn’t precise. This wouldn’t both me on vacation, but when on business it can make or break your schedule for the day. Room was average and clean. The bathroom and particularly the shower was not as clean as I would like, there were stray hairs left over from the last guest which always makes me wonder how well it has been cleaned. The hotel is close to the downtown area and was well situated for a quick morning run and walking to dinner. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Walls were very thin, people standing in front of the next room talking at a reasonable level sounded like they were in our room.

This is a great little spot that makes you feel as if you are staying with friends in their guest cottage. The staff were friendly and they even made us breakfast in the morning. I later learned that the guy who makes the breakfast is a classically trained chef!
The parking lot is great, they have ample spots and there is a fire pit so you can relax with some wine after a fun day in Morro Bay.
I really don’t have any negative comments, my experience was great :-)

BEAUTIFUL Room. Hidden gem in Morro Bay. It isn’t on the water but it’s about 2 blocks from downtown. The pictures don’t do it justice. Check out the giant tub and shower!

Very centrally located, nice rooms, quiet, breakfast delivered to room, competent staff, but «free wifi» is a joke — have had faster connections in Third world countries. Much as I have to say it, we will not be back.

Hubby planned a trip here and we loved it. Staff was very nice at check in, and our included breakfast was super tasty! Short walk to the main drag of town.

This is our 3^rd year staying in Morro Bay for spring break, and our first time staying here. I have to say that we will definitely return in the future! My husband, myself, and our two little boys loved the quaintness of the inn and the proximity to the downtown area. On the days we went to the beach we were able to borrow sand toys from the inn. Every morning we were served with a warm, fresh, delicious breakfast. Every staff person we encountered was beyond helpful and super friendly! Do not hesitate to make the choice to stay here… you won’t regret it!!!

The owner of the hotel checked us in. He was friendly and informative. He truly understands customer service and cares about his guests. The hotel itself is very thought out. It is very apparent that the owners want their guests to have a pleasant stay and that they return. If I am ever here again I will definitely stay here again.

On our road trip to Napa Valley we decided to use the hotel tonight app for our stop in Morro Bay and Beach Bungalow happen to be on there. Even though it was very late in the evening, the owner answered my call and gave me directions to get the key and where my room was. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised by this last minute find.
I believe we stayed in the Oyster room. The room was newly renovated and it was so nice and comfortable. I honestly loved the room so much, it’s one of my favorite places I’ve stayed. It was very quaint and relaxing, I felt like I was in my own home. There was a fire place, quality robes & sheets, and I was even impressed with the products they had stocked in the restroom.
We were served a delicious breakfast the next day, which is included in the price for the room. We were also able to take a nice walk down to the rock that we had a view of from our room window.
I got the chance to meet the owner before I left and she was so sweet! She was able to give me recommendations on places to go on my next stop.
I highly recommend this hotel as a nice stay in Morro Bay.

This place is adorable. Very cozy and personas. Nice staff. And a great breakfast on top of that. I felt like we got a great price. Around 100. Definitely would stay here again.

Stayed here last night, and was very impressed. The staff was very accommodating when we needed an early check in. The room we were given, (oyster) was spotlessly clean, very charming, and completely modern. We were served breakfast right to our room at the time of our choosing, and we’re not talking typical continental breakfast. It was top notch café status. We were given a menu to turn in that consisted of your choice of several gourmet omelette’s, Belgium waffles topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream, also they had lighter options to pick from. Will stay here again the next time were in town!

We stayed here for Valentines Day and this place has the perfect feel for it. The rooms are very cozy and well decorated. Its close to the waterfront and the owner suggested a perfect place to look at the sunset. We got a waffle and an omlette for breakfast which were simply delicious and made with so much love. We will definetly visit again and recommend you to be there too. Thank you Beach Bunglow for making our stay in Morro Bay memorable.

Great find! We stayed two nights and will definitely come back soon. Loved the breakfast brought to our room and the convenient location. Clean, nice décor and perfect for the family.

We stayed in the Beach Bungalow Inn & Suites on our way to Santa Barbara. It was clean, nice, comfortable, and they make omelettes that are legitimately restaurant-​worthy (even though I accidentally ate my boyfriend’s in my early-​morning daze… oops).
But more than that, the customer service was really great. They were super chill about our late check-​in and late check-​out, and gave us great recommendations on what to explore in Morro Bay (which, by the way, is beautiful). They just seem like super nice people. So, given the chance, we’ll definitely be staying here again!

Nice, super comfy rooms and suites for a short, medium, or long stay. But, this is an understatement. The Beach Bungalow Inn & Suites has been renovated into a modern hotel with luxury features and feel. The vibe is laid back and luxuriant.
This is our second stay here. The first time in 2012 was in a smaller than present room, but still with a kitchenette, living room, separate bedroom, fireplace, hardwood floors, and a covered garage, Since then, the management has changed, and the change is pleasant and an improvement.
The staff is accommodating, discerning and kind… while sitting in the sun, perusing content on our computers, one of the managers came out with a cheese plate with strawberries, dried fruits, some of the freshest and most flavorful blueberries we tasted in recent history, and whole walnuts. He said, «Just thought you’d like a treat.»
Clean, well maintained and appointed rooms and suites, situated close to the beach; The daily service includes an upscale breakfast delivered to your door. Ours, (named Abalone (room #4)) featured a full kitchen, stove, and dinette. All rooms are immaculate with current day furnishings and appliances. Some rooms are dog friendly.
Why not be comfortable? Enjoy!

Love this place! So unexpected!
Drove up to a beautiful little cluster of single story rooms around a cute courtyard — with some grassy landscapes areas and a few padded Adirondack chairs around a little roaring fire pit –and did a self check-​in. They provided a map to our room and instructions on where to park and a menu to choose your custom FRESH breakfast order (for the next morning).
The room we had was the Monarch (which had a view of the top of the ROCK!) and it featured a king bed, a reading chair, sitting area with a table and two chairs (to eat breakfast!), an awesome fireplace and a nicely apportioned tile bathroom with shower. Lounging robes, coffee maker, mini fridge (with complimentary water)! Hardwood floors with cute throw rug, white cotton bedding and modern furnishings made this place feel very fresh and friendly …
Best part was being able to bring the «girls» (our 2 chihuahuas) — totally pet friendly!
Will definitely be back :) — highly recommend you try this place!

We were extremely pleased with the hospitality here. This is a hard working family! I think the prices were steep for what they offer and for the quality of the beds, pillows, and sheets but it was CLEAN and we were treated very well. Thank you beach bungalow family!

Very nice place! Kind of pricey though… I paid $ 260 on a Sat night. Family run business and everyone I dealt with was friendly. Our room had a gas fireplace and a nice king size bed. The hard wood floors are a nice touch and it’s a nice size bathroom. Too bad there wasn’t a jacuzzi tub…
The only complaint I have is: The walls are paper thin though… we could hear our neighbor’s conversation :-(

A slice of heaven perched two blocks from the ocean in the heart of Morro Bay. Such a homey, quaint vibe. Newly renovated rooms, and full breakfast hand delivered to your room every morning included in your price. A comfy fire pit and great staff. Love this boutique inn! I highly recommend the Marble Room!
Ps…dog friendly too!

I love this place!!! They are pet friendly. The units are very clean and nicely decorated. Love the wood floors. The rooms are spacious. We have a 5 year old and they had a cot for him. Such a bonus.
The breakfast was amazzzing! You pick what you want the night before and they deliver it to you in the morning. The coffee is organic beans ground to order. The orange juice is freshly squeezed!!! The omelettes are amazing! Fresh mushrooms, French brie! Feta! Bacon! And so much more! My son got the Toasted waffles everyday and I must say that was the best Toasted waffles I have ever had! Fresh whipped cream with amazing organic fruit! Maple syrup too! They also do bagels with sockeye salmon, onion, tomato and capers! Bircher musli too! So many options.
The staff is friendly and make you feel so comfortable. It’s a short walk to the ocean. This is a family owned property which makes you feel at ease so you can relax and enjoy your holiday. Such a great place to call home while your away from your home.
