456 Embarcadero Inn & Suites

Last month my husband and I met my cousins for our 2nd trip to Morro Bay. We again stayed at my cousin's favorite place, The Embarcadero, and found they'd done some really nice remodeling since we stayed there 4 years ago. The room was lovely and we had a patio with a full ocean view. It was really awesome. The hotel staff is always so nice and the location couldn't be better. It's such a great getaway spot. PS - For a great breakfast at a fun place, go to Frankie & Lola's on Front Street!

We arrived to such a sweet surprise! I cannot say enough nice things about this place. The location is truly perfect. The room was spotless and had the most comfortable bed. The staff was incredibly pleasant and accommodating. The customized sign welcoming us on our anniversary was the most thoughtful and heart touching thing ever and was truly unexpected! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. Michelle was so pleasant during our check in and even offered to take our picture for us. This is my new favorite place to stay. I highly recommend the Embarcadero Inn next time you visit Morro Bay.

My wife and I just spent 3 days and 2 nights for our anniversary. We found our new favorite hotel! Clean and comfortable rooms, great bed, and premium parking. We will be returning for future stays. Oh yeah, friendly and helpful staff.

What an amazing stay! We booked this hotel specifically because of the family suite, and it did not disappoint! It was a fabulous room with an amazing view! The full kitchen was a welcome amenity, and the two bedrooms definitely helped ensure everyone felt comfortable in their own space. The hotel staff was wonderful throughout our stay and the cleanliness of the hotel was top notch. The hotel is conveniently located on the southern edge of the waterfront, keeping everything in easy walking distance. We had such a wonderful time in Morro Bay, thank you for making our stay that much more amazing!

Myhusband and I finished a 1 night stay at 456 Embarcadero Inn & Suites. We had a King room with a balcony, great view, beautiful breeze, fantastic location. We saw otters and see lions in the bay as we walked down Embarcadero. Will definitely stay again

Nice newly renovated rooms just steps from the water. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Even though we arrived after the office closed, we were about to get keys easily and check in the next morning. Rooms are nice, with a comfortable, newly renovated feel, and solid amenities.

Beautiful Hotel! Exceptional Service! Had a wonderful time staying here, Close to everything Morro Bay has to offer. Got to take a cruise out on a boat during sunset literally across the street. Lovely Dinning places walking distance. The Rooms had been renovated and it was amazing, bedding great, clean and showers were very accessible for anyone with any disabilities. I loved the lightning and the view was perfect from our full harbor bay balcony. Thank you will definitely be coming back

We recently stayed at this hotel and enjoyed it a lot. The view from the balcony is amazing (totally worth paying the extra cost for a full ocean view). The rooms are comfortable; only drawback is the walls are quite thin and if you happen to have noisy neighbors, you will hear them (The second night of our stay we had a family with two little spoiled brats whose parents had no control over… Luckily we had similar sleep patterns). The staff is awesome. No breakfast but plenty of options within walking distance

COMFIEST BED I CAN RECALL. I melt into it! Suite had a fridge, microwave, coffee mugs, balcony, bathtub/shower, dining table, bench, and fireplace. Our room was renovated recently, and it felt so clean! Television and lighted mirror with reading chair/light. There was a jacuzzi for guests across the way. Parking is free, though there was street parking as well. You're right on the water with a 15-20 min walk to Morro Bay Rock. Morgan was helpful at check-in. EATS nearby: For food, we recommend Tacos de Mexico which was SO busy, the woman taking orders at the front did not get a break from customers for the entire 25 min we sat inside. Delicious tacos and salsa! Locals spot.

For a long time, the hotel was very helpful and accommodating. We've been here 3 times and continued to come back because of the nice staff and super clean rooms. We had a great one night stay but as I was checking out the front desk woman said "you cannot take that!" as my family went to grab some small breakfast bites in the main office. I had just a few minutes earlier grabbed something for myself and she didn't say anything but when my family grabbed something they got a nasty response and eye roll about her cleaning it up. There was no sign indicating that these were not for hotel guests or there was a hard time limit on the bites. It felt very petty. This is not how you treat paying guests.

The Embarcadero has become a treat for us when we can get away. What's the saying "LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION... THE Embarcadero is on the Embarcadero! Each room has a beautiful view. The staff goes above what you expect. The best part is the second floor allows dogs, so our dog gets to come along. I wish I could them a score of 10! Thanks Embarcadero, we'll see you soon!! Kent &Irma

We had a great room. The bed was amazing and the people there are great. Hope to be back soon

We booked the family suite for the 5 of us. The rooms are clean and comfortable. One has a king bed, one has a queen, and the couch in the living room opened up to a bed ( that one was not that comfy ) . Kitchen has a full size Samsung fridge and freezer, Keurig machine, microwave, etc.... There are outlets left and right of the beds, a feature much appreciated. Bathroom is nicely stocked with fluffy towels. Black face towels to remove make-up. All these attentions to details made a great stay. We will stay here again if we visit the area again. The view is amazing, there are many good restaurants near by, the people we met here are friendly.

Stayed 2 nights here and will for sure be back! Loved how we could park our car and just walk everywhere. Front desk staff was great.

Comfy, warm, welcoming and clean!! Room appears to be just renovated on the contemporary side. The bay view and balcony were especially romantic in the evenings. The staff went above and beyond - shout out to Morgan!!! Location right across from the water and a new wine bar was super convenient!!! We look forward to our next trip to Morro!!!

EVERYTHING was clean, cozy, comfortable. The staff was kind and helpful. My husband and I were staying here while he participated in a golf tournament. Our first day settling in was relaxing. The second day, while my husband went to play, I had breakfast nearby, did a little shopping, then came back to the room to relax, read, and take in the view.

Not impressed with the animal smell, poor water pressure, scratchy towels but great location. The fireplace was a nice touch. Had to move on after only two nights for the owner's fear I'd want to actually live there! Unbelievable in this current economy! They even charge for hi-speed Wifi! I felt like I was in the twilight zone when there's really no need. Plenty of motels to choose from-won't be staying here again. No thank you.

Check in was smooth and pleasant- the lobby is clean and welcoming. All staff we interacted with were cheerful and very service oriented (email exchange, check in, housekeeping, groundskeeper, check out), a definite plus these days Our room had a fantastic view of the bay and Morro Rock! Fireplace in the room kept it toasty warm as we wanted, but it was also nice that the balcony had a screen door and also shutters which was all great for temperature control. We slept with the balcony door open and got to enjoy the ocean breeze & ocean sounds during our stay. The hotel also has a spa that was well kept- small but classy. Limited hours & limited space however we went all nights we were there and were the only ones. Jets work & good heat. Continental breakfast was offered, and honestly the coffee was good- better than the coffee served at the closest coffee shop down the street but I would suggest ultimately getting coffee a few blocks up the way at Scout's coffee (perhaps a future hotel + Scouts partnership would marry this moment into perfection?? LOL) Which is actually the other perfect highlight of this place- the hotel is walking distance to EVERYTHING. The rock, the pier, shops, restaurants, coffee, bars, the beach, and other adventures. You can't go wrong here, it's definitely worth the stay!

Camel which broke its back was not the noisy from the neighbors, nor the rust on the wall, nor the noise (sounds like Harley Davidson) from the light in the in the bathroom. But from a very long blond hair. We have been traveling from Port Angeles to San Diego. Is been 10days since we left our home. Never came across the filthiest hotel, till today

What a lovely stay we had! Spent a couple of days distressing. Spent much of the time on the deck enjoying the spectacular view of the harbor. Loved the fireplace. Was nice for our dog who travels everywhere with us. Walkable to restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again. ​

Very old and dated. Not worth $500. A night. The view is amazing. Best in town. Sheets are not cotton.

Booked a room here for a special occasion and it's a pricier option but well worth the extra $$$ Gorgeous ocean view from a private balcony. Impeccably clean with an extra comfy bed. The spa was wonderful, private and again very clean. Fireplace was cozy. It's the little details that please me. Real glasses and mugs, good quality toiletries, plush towels, nice quality sheets and bed- even real Kleenex!! We had an amazing comfortable stay here and I would recommend this place again and again.

Beautiful view from the balcony. Comfortable rooms. Convenient location. Enjoyed my stay here.

Sorry for this late review.. Our first visit to Morro Bay. I love the town, very charming. My negative is this hotel. And sorry that I have to give this hotel a low rating. We stayed for one night Room clean but not worth $200 we paid for. Wi-fi very slow, TV only had basic channels Old door knobs, looks dirty. Thermostat is old, a/c didn't work. Bathroom sink drains slow. Coffee pot with coffee but no cream or sugar. Our room faced the elevator and it felt like a garage door opening every now and then. Sadly, we don't recommend this hotel. It needs -a much needed upgrade.

I loved this place! What most have said in their reviews are pretty spot on! The rooms look small but are very comfortable. We were in room 310 and loved it. The bed was VERY comfortable. The staff is REALLY nice. The hotel is really quiet. Like a hidden gem. I definitely will be coming back. But next time I will book directly through them as Expedia falsely advertised the room showing images with fireplaces therefore I was expecting a fireplace. I spoke to the innkeeper at length about it as she said she's been trying to get Expedia to fix that for some time. Their actual website differentiates which room have fireplaces and which don't. Expedia uses the same picture for all room. It's shame on Expedia. I did reach out them. Hopefully they fix it as it's not fair for the hotel to have to explain this which may affect the customer experience.

My wife and I were originally going to go camping in Big Sur for my birthday. But we decided to cancel last minute and spend some time in Morro Bay because we love the area so much. We chose this place because of its great location, great views and the prices were pretty good too. PRO: walking distance to everything, great views, excellent customer service, easy parking and large rooms. CONS: lights in the bathroom were super dim, made it difficult getting ready to go out, one of the sinks didn't drain, bed wasn't the best, towels were rough and small. I would absolutely recommend this place to others and I consider staying here again.

Had a good stay for the weekend. Rooms are nice and clean, staff are friendly. We stayed in a king size bed with full harbor view on the third floor The cons are: -walls are thin: our first night there the neighbors came back around 11:30pm, we could hear them talking, laughing and walking around their room til 3am. Their kids were running back and forth to the vending machine. The flooring could use some thicker carpet to help with the noise -bathroom fan is really loud -ceiling in bathroom is lower than the rest of the room and the light is not bright. There should be a light in the shower as well -there are no blackout curtains so in the mornings there are a lot of light coming in The pros: -room is spacious and clean -bed & pillows are comfortable -the hotel is at the end of Embarcadero Blvd so it's quieter in general and it's within walking distance to eateries and shops -there's a microwave and keurig -pet friendly -free and easy parking

READ THE FINE PRINT WHEN BOOKING. If you try to check in after 9pm you are screwed out of your room! 9:29pm no one answers the damn phone. This is an actual customer and I only found out about the 9pm check-in closing time because I was emailed by hotels.com asking about my check in. When I had never checked in. I called your hotel and you folks never answered the phone. What was supposed to be a romantic getaway was spent at a motel 6. PLEASE DO YOUR GUEST A FAVOR AND COMMUNICATE UNCOMMON BUSINESS PRACTICES. It was a holiday weekend and everything was booked. Imagine having to drive 4 hours only to have to sleep in your car because everything is booked. Not the customer service I'd expect from a hotel charging almost $400 a night.

Beautiful rooms, incredible view, in the heart of Morro Bay. Good parking setup. No food, but lots of places to eat nearby.

Fantastic views and great location. The hotel was very clean and the bed was super comfy. Will definitely stay here again!!

How can anyone give a low rating for this wonderful hotel? My God, they just do everything right for you. The beds are so comfy and they even have the fixings to wash your windshields. We had breakfast on the balcony and watched the waves of the ocean. Nice people in the office. What is there not to love? We will be back!,!,

Five Stars **for the friendly staff. My wife and I had to remove the pillows because they smelt so bad. The bedding was stained Extremely pricey, for three night stay. Never had any issues years ago. It WAS a great place at one time. The new owners need to know about all these issues. This is unacceptable after paying so much$$$

I woke up in the morning and didn't realize it was just the best room we had facing the bay, the breeze and wind the boats, otters and seal the famous Moro Rock was so close !!! this made me feel soorelaxed and happy. Thank you so much for the experience and will surely return with family again.

As a Central Coast native and long term resident, I can say this is one of the best hotels on the Central Coast, and certainly the best I've stayed at in Morro Bay. Very friendly staff, rooms are very clean and well maintained. Prices are fair and well worth it. It's an older hotel with some modern upgrades, it can use a few more but nothing a normal person can't live without and I know they have plans to do some more soon, so by the time you read this, it's likely it's been further upgraded and refined. The views are fantastic, patios are awesome, plenty of parking for the size of the hotel. The hotel and surrounding areas are romantic, walking distance from most everything worth doing in Morro Bay, and short drives to many of the things worth doing on the Central Coast.

Wonderful find on our trip up the California coast. Right there on the wharf with plenty of good restaurants and shops to explore. The best part was the beautiful spacious room with bay view. Staff was very kind and accommodating. Loved it! Nicest room we had on our entire trip. And it's very, very reasonable. Enjoy

The location is at end of town so it's quiet but close to everything. Rooms are very nice , fireplace and balcony that looks out on bay . Will stay here again. Nice staff too.

Enjoyed the location and hospitality. Great rooms, had everything we needed. Clean and comfortable. My wife and dog enjoyed it very much. We will be back again.

we love visiting 456 Embarcadero, it's always a special treat! With a full ocean view, and the fact that we can bring our puppy dog, makes it so nice!

We enjoyed our three night stay at the well maintained, a bit funky,motel across the street from the bay. Our balcony looked out on Morro Rock and was close walking distance from several good restaurants in the area. While we wished there was a continental breakfast offered we made it work. We grabbed some rolls and coffee at the breakfast joint down the street. Good parking under the building, a nice walking area to the left or right along the shore and an interesting walk up the hill through this beachside town made for an enjoyable stay. Don't forget to drive down to Morro Rock and explore another area that has its own unique charm. Yes, the large clean rooms with the usual amenities added to a stop along the way to our ultimate destination in sequoia National Park high in the Sierra Mountains.

Enjoyed our quick stay very much! Definitely will plan on staying again. Clean and comfy, perfect view. Walking distance to everything. Like the environmentally aware personal care products, no little bottles and waste. Customer service at the front desk very helpful and nice.

Absolutely lovely hotel. Great bed, great shower. I especially loved cracking the door open at night and hearing the seals back. Lulled me right to sleep.

We've been back staying at this hotel a few times. A great and convenient location for a stop over. Rooms are clean and good size, great value for the money. Registration staff was very nice and courteous. We were even upgraded as returning guests.

My wife and I stayed there on her birthday weekend, July 20-21. The room was exceptionally nice, with all the amenities you would expect. The staff was most helpful, and the location (away from the noise and crowding up the main street) was wonderful. Views were also good, and we will certainly stay there again when next we visit Morro Bay. DENNIS ATCHLEY

Exceeded my expectations! When they advertise ocean view, they mean it! The harbor is literally across the street. Our view was perfect! We came in the beginning of September. We stayed in room 302 with 2 queen beds and a fireplace. All ocean front rooms have a balcony with a small table and chairs. I am not sure if the partial view rooms have a balcony; they have one small window that faces the ocean but they do not have a balcony with an ocean view. We paid roughly, $369 for a Friday night and $389 for a Saturday night. The beds are a little springy but comfortable. The pillows feel quite luxurious and were down filled. There was a ceiling fan which we didn't use because even having the sliding door open just 8-10 inches was enough fresh air flow into the room. The shower was nice and I liked that they provided a non-slip bath mat. The mini fridge is probably one of the smallest mini fridges I have seen and it really isn't meant to hold a lot. Maybe 2 leftover food cartons and a few bottles of water. The coffee maker is a standard drip coffee. I decided to make a cup to try it out and honestly the coffee was pretty gross tasting. There is no coffee taste at all. I used the powdered creamer and sugar they provided and it just tasted so bad. That's ok though because there are soooo many coffee shops just a hop,skip and a jump down the Embarcadero/pier. The wifi worked perfect and we really loved that we could binge watch MTV after dinner until bedtime. (We are addicted to Ridiculousness). Some review said they still use standard keys and that must be old because they use the card keys. You have to use your card key to access the elevator. The inn is very quiet. We could only tell we had other guests in the rooms next door when we heard their footsteps walking past our room or opening their door. We could not hear any voices through the walls. It was really quiet with the exception of hearing the distant boat horn (not sure the term for it) that is going off every 30 seconds 24/7 and the barking of Harbor Seals that camp out on a dock in the bay about 0.2 miles down the pier. We googled and found out seals are nocturnal so you will hear them barking still even after sunset and as early at sunrise they start up again. We didn't mind it as it's not too loud. I appreciate that they enforced the mask policy and all staff we encountered wore them. They do not offer a continental breakfast which is ok because again there are plenty of coffee shops just down a block of two on the pier that offer pastries and breakfast foods. Overall the hotel was clean, very nice decor and fantastic location! I did not realize we were at the very end of the pier. As you drive around the downtown area, you really appreciate how lucky you are to be in this inn and being so close to the water. Fantastic customer service. The staff was very friendly and provided great service. Originally when I called to book (just 2 weeks prior to our stay) there wasn't any ocean view rooms but the woman booking said she would call me back in a few minutes to see if she could open something up for me. She called back within 10 minutes and had us booked. I have already told friends and family they should check this place out. No regrets!

My wife and I were here this past weekend to celebrate our eighth anniversary and my wife's birthday. We like this place, the parking area is so secure and off the road, it is within walking distance of almost everywhere we want to go, and is a fun place to stay. We had a nice room on the 2nd floor, it had a great view of the harbor area and we enjoyed the fireplace in our room. This was the 2nd time we have had room 213, and it fits us well. They do allow our little feathered family member for a fee, so she was able to travel with us. This is our place to stay when we come to Morro Bay. The staff is friendly, they get the job done, and reservations are easy by calling up the office. The phone reservation was followed up by a couple of emails to cover many "ifs ands and buts" AKA important details.

Not worth the money for the stay. No soap in the shower. Took the container down to the front office and after several minutes he came back and told me they were all out of soap. He went to another room and got a container out of that room and brought it back to me. Meanwhile my wife was waiting in the shower for the soap! The owner did contact me and offered a great deal to make up for the mishap. He has also corrected the problem and sounds like he has everything under control. I appreciate the quick follow up and concern! Steve

Our favorite place to stay in Morro bay. The rooms are so clean. The linens and pillows are amazing. We have stayed in the suits and king room with fire place. Not one complaint. Covered parking. The staff is so friendly and nice. Walk to everything you need.

We enjoyed ourselves very much staying at 456 Embarcadero. The property is in a great location. The bay view was spectacular. We were impressed with how quiet it was at night. The room was clean, comfortable and we loved sitting on the balcony. The proximity to restaurants and shops is perfect, we didn't really drive anywhere. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend staying here 100%.

Check in is easy and the parking was covered and plentiful. Spots are a bit tight so I did my best to avoid parking next to the suburban with door dents. The exterior looks freshly painted and clean. They have an elevator and carts to help you if you need one. The employees in the lobby were kind and helpful. The room had a great view of the Sandpit and the bay. You'll see the occasional sea otter crunching on his meal across the street. The Rock was partially viewable behind a two story building that sits across the street. There is a working construction company lot directly in front of the Inn that started with a loud reciprocal saw at 7:30am. Totally killed what could have been a beautiful morning enjoying coffee on the deck. Then at 8:30 a giant dumpster was off loaded and then the 75 foot crane went to work. If you don't want this mess in front of you be sure to request a room on the North side often the hotel. You'll still hear it, but you won't be looking directly into it. There is a park south of the hotel that had live music going in the evening and the locals seemed to all enjoy it. The rooms are ok a little dated but clean. You can tell they have done some upgrades and tried to keep everything as rust free and clean as possible. Nice fireplace, and the historical Morro Bay photos on the walls were interesting. There is a wall heater but no AC if you are here in summer. There are some very outdated switches, tiles, etc but all in all it's what we expected. Bed was comfy and the "continental breakfast" is basically a trail bar and a cup of joe. You can easily walk to the restaurants and shops in about 5-10 mins. If the lot and the construction company were gone it could have been a close 4 star rating. Morro Bay has its charm and reminds me of an old fishing village with many locals that still wish they were on the 1970s.

Hey Russell, there's still nobody there and the room is under my husband's name and we'd like to get let in but again we're not gonna right

Our room was clean, updated, great view, towels need updating very thin and old. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Location was great, across from the bay, walking distance to everything! We loved Morro Bay! I only gave it 3 stars only because we wish it could have been a more restful stay...It was difficult to get any sleep due to the room above us who allowed their kids to run around their room with no consideration for the guests in the room below. One night we couldn't get to sleep due to the noise until 3 am! We did notify the office but unfortunately it did not resolve the issue. Hi Delphine: Yes, that is what management said to us but nothing changed.

Enjoyed our stay at this establishment. Great room with a great view. My only complaint is the bathroom fan is very noisy. If you are there, everyone knows it. I will return.

Beautiful well kept rooms. Nice sized also. Lovely view. Right on the main street next to the bay. Would highly recommend. Also it's pet friendly as are a lot of the shops and restaurants in the area.

I spent the weekend in SLO County in February at another hotel a friend booked and couldn't wait to come back to the area. I desperately needed to get away and de stress so I decided to book a night for a quick trip with my dog. I had booked a room at two other hotels and ended up cancelling after further research and discovering this spot, checking out the pictures and reviews. I got a great deal on a standard room through Agoda which was my first time using that site. I had never been to Morro Bay and immediately fell in love when I got there, The hotel and area were perfect, right across from the bay and close to hiking areas and beaches I wanted to explore. The staff is very helpful and friendly, I had called with questions to prepare for my visit and ensure I could bring my dog. 456 is a cute and clean inn. I was impressed with my standard room which was large, had a good size mini fridge, microwave and good in room coffee. Although I didn't get a room with a view/balcony, I had a window across from the bed with a partial view which was great. There's is no A/C and the TV was just ok but those were not priorities for me. I hardly watch TV, had a ceiling fan and kept the window open which was very relaxing hearing the bay, seals and other wildlife. Other perks included free WiFI and covered parking. Being in walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and activities and just a short drive away from dog beach, Pismo, SLO, etc. was awesome. For 15+ years I traveled heavily for work and have typically stayed at large Corporate properties. I was very impressed with 456 Embarcadero Inn & Suites and have already booked another visit next month. I highly recommend.

I highly recommend this recently remodeled perfectly located hotel for SO many reasons! All the employees (front desk, housekeeping, maintenance) are extremely friendly, efficient and accommodating, especially kind delightful Richard! The rooms are reasonably priced, spacious, comfortable and best of all pet friendly! The bed, linens, pillows, and towels are yumminess comfy cozy. Conveniently equipped with microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, table with 2 chairs, lots of storage drawers and closet, iron & board, very hot water and pressure, USB ports, and stylish lamps with ceiling fan. So nice, updated and clean. Very safe with needing your door card to enter all doors, spa and elevator (they all work properly). The entire property is clean including front office, hallways, parking lot, staircases and trash receptacles. The spa was surprisingly really nice! Big, clean, indoors, strong jets, hot water with attached bathroom. Even providing bath beach towels to use. Quiet hotel and walking distance to everything you need to eat, drink and shop. We loved our stay so much we even extended it and looking forward to our next visit! p.s. shout out to Michael (very sweet) and Robbie the canine ambassador!

Stayed at 456 this last weekend for the iron man event. Staff was very nice and rooms were very clean and safe. My wife and I arrived on Thursday around 4:00PM and settled down on the balcony (which had 2 comfortable chairs and a table) and enjoyed the view with some wine, bread, dipping sauce and cheese. Very quiet around town during the week which gives you the opportunity to relax and decompress. Of course, Saturday was busy for the event, but parking was always available in the garage/port. Restaurants and shops within a very short walking distance. Having frequented Morro Bay over the years, this hotel is the must stay location.

We're back again , this time in the suite . It's a wonderful hotel and has been a refuge during the pandemic . We thoroughly relax here and it's so quiet at the end of the strip .
