Top Heron Rookery Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

The Landing at Morro Bay

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our two night stay. The room was clean with a nice mix of unique amenities. The pour over coffee system was artsy and functional. Since it was unseasonably hot it was great to have an ac unit. The only shortcut I noticed with housekeeping was the short sheeting of the second queen bed. This is minor and wouldn’t prevent me from staying again. Lastly, super chill outdoor sitting area was a nice touch."

Inn At Morro Bay

8/10 Good

"Can’t beat the location. Price right. Nice to have restaurant and bar on location. TV channel selection great"

Blufftop Inn & Suites - Wharf/Restaurant District

8/10 Good

"It’s an older property but had a nice facelift to modernize the rooms. They are clean, the property is well maintained. The location is fantastic and the neighborhood quiet. Carla’s across the street is a great breakfast spot. One piece of advice, ask for an upstairs room as you hear everything of the people above you."
