Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Accessibility to plenty of great parking. Convenient laundry facility, ice machine, and an area where you could wash your pet. Facility and rooms were very cllean. Rooms had a refrigerator, microwave, and a Keurig type coffee machine. Rooms are roomy. Table and two chairs. Beds are comfortable. Plenty of towels. Drawers for your clothes and a pause it to hang your clothes . Had a great view of the Morro rock from my room. Staff was very nice. Every day someone checked in with me to see if I needed anything. The facility checking in with me every day made a tremendous difference. Made it more pleasurable and shows that they care."
