Top The Giant Chessboard Hotel Reviews

Blue Sail Inn

8/10 Good

"Clean room and staff"

Blufftop Inn & Suites - Wharf/Restaurant District

8/10 Good

"clean room"

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The room was pretty nice and pretty big and pretty open"

Morro Shores Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time, clean spacious rooms, beach at the end of the street."

Masterpiece Hotel

8/10 Good

"No A/C! The room did have a slider with a balcony so we were able to leave the door open at night. There is a small fan in the room and a ceiling fan. Strangly there is a humming noise outside that sounds like a cellphone on vibrate. It drove us a little crazy trying to figure it out. Not sure if it’s a fog horn or what but it was annoying as heck during the night. The location is great and within walking distance of everything without being on the main drag. The breakfast was just okay. Oatmeal and breakfast sandwiches. Bathroom was typical shower over tub with adequate privacy. The hotel is charming and staff was friendly enough. I think I would stay here again"

Bay View Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff were nice with the early check in. Unfortunately they were overbooked and so we got partial view of the ocean instead of our full ocean view room. Room was clean and bathroom was nice. The room had one mini fridge and a microwave which we used to heat up left over and store our water. Noise level was okay other than the humming of the fridge. Will stay here again in the future. Location is convenient to bars and coffee shop. Thank you for having us. No pool."

The Landing at Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Our electric fireplace didn't work, but overall our stay was great."

Coastal Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: Staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable we’ve slept in. The sheets were soft and silky. Walking distance to everything. Air conditioning. Cons: Small shower. Slight smell of old cigarette smoke, like the room used to be a smoking room."

Morro Crest Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Always a great experience staying here."
