Perfect Place for A Quiet Weekend in Morro Bay

We have been traveling down the coast for the last three weeks and this is the best place that we have stayed! The port side room is perfect! We had a great view of the harbor, listen to the seals sing, watch the otters play, watched the pelicans fish during the day, and the sailboats Bob around in the bay. it was walkable to all of the local restaurants and easy to walk to parks and also the ocean. The parking was secure and easy to get in and out of, there is an elevator to make things easier to get your luggage up to the second floor accommodations. I have to say this place is perfect. We also had a microwave and a refrigerator. We cannot wait to go back!

The Anderson Inn is my new favorite hotel. It's on a busy street, but we could barely hear the traffic and other guests. Parking was available next to the hotel, which was very convenient. Our room was incredibly spacious and clean with two balconies. The shower was really big with multiple shower heads at different heights. Plus, the staff left us the cutest swans made out of towels -- a really sweet touch. I can't wait to stay at this hotel again!

Close to Beautiful MTB trails

Morro Bay is a great vacation spot! There weren’t a lot of tourists, and so much for is to do. We were super impressed with the accommodations and location. Coming from Las Vegas, the cool weather was a welcoming treat. Anderson Inn is conveniently located down by the bay. It has a cozy cabin feel with vaulted ceilings. The room was large enough for us to store our two mountain bikes. We have a large truck, and we had parking accommodations that felt safe and not on the street. The staff was super friendly. The only reason I marked down comfort to four stars is because my wife mentioned that the bed had a “hole,” and she couldn't get comfortable. However, I thought the bed was very comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. If you have trouble sleeping with sounds, keep the window and doors closed. The seals and seagulls are vocal all day and night, but we thought it was part of the charm. We are looking forward to our next visit!
