Rockview Inn & Suites

Avoid this place!!! My fiancé and I decided to take a mini vacation (staycation) and gave this place a shot. At first I was disappointed by the appearance of the motel. It looked old and not very clean. Upon arriving the gentleman at the front desk was very polite. Once entering the room I was very surprised at how nice the room was. Later however my fiancé woke up panicking because he felt something crawling on his neck I immediately turned the light on and there was a bug on his neck that bit him I smacked the bug and it turned out to be a huge bed bug it was the worst experience ever we had to leave our clothes and go to hospital. Now we will be filing a law suit for our property hospital bills and pain and suffering. When Expedia called us we explained to them what happened and they were told by the manager that we left due to non-​smoking rooms. I took pictures of the bug and blood along with the manager standing by the evidence. Hopefully they will pay for bills. If not they will be speaking to my lawyer.

Decent.
The staff has been courteous to me. I would say the gentleman in charge is friendlier than the woman, but she served me one morning after I’d clearly woken her up and she was nothing but professional.
The lobby does have the odor (and so does the parking lot) that others have mentioned, but it’s not that big of a deal.
There are no vending machines. There’s ice like you’d expect, but if you find yourself in Morro Bay without food after 12 am, you are outta luck. It’s not the hotels fault, but just a heads up that NOTHING is open in this town after 11. Trust me, I’ve wasted two nights of my life driving around looking. If you want soda, the Best Western across the street has a vending machine.
My main gripe?
My room was not cleaned for past 2 days, which is wholly unacceptable. It’d be one thing if I didn’t want service, but I even put the sign on the door notifying them my room needed cleaning. Now I get to go to bed on dirty sheets and shower in the morning with dirty towels for absolutely no legitimate reason. The staff apologized and my room was cleaned the next day, but it was a disappointing that I couldn’t just rely on the door hanger.

Complete garbage. I am not one to write a bad review, but here I go. Stay away from this place at all costs. We reserved this room for 2 nights. At a quarter to 11am we get a rude telephone call from the woman pictured in one of these reviews, asking us when we were checking out. My wife works over night as a journalist and we sleep during early portion of the day. We explained to the super rude woman on the phone we had reserved 2 nights. She denied that we did so. Then called us back laughing that we did book 2 nights (uh yea we knew that because we booked it). This disturbed our sleep and untimely ruined our plans to go out later to explore the coast because we had to catch up on some sleep because we were rudely awaken (super unprofessional). We were rather upset about this, and I went down to the lobby to see if there was some type of consolation to our horrible service we received earlier. I went down to the lobby completely calm and wanting to see why were even disrupted in the first place under the assumption we had not made a 2 night reservation. The person in the lobby was a man who instantly started yelling at me and the situation was automatically escalated due to his attitude. I hate to say it but I would rather stay at an establishment where the owners were locals and knew what proper customer service was, instead of laughing at their mistake and then shouting at me. Stay away at all costs. These people just want your money and from reading the other reviews they will get their money any way they can even by unannounced charging of your card. STAY AWAY!!!

Limited options available due to holiday weekend. Definitely not worth the $ 129 I paid which excludes pet fee! Bed was motel 6 quality and uncomfortable. Could hear the neighbors talk/​sneeze especially while in the bathroom. Had a table on one side of the bed which left little space between the bed and table to walk. Biggest gripe was extremely weak internet service! Two stars for decent location. Wasn’t far from the infamous rock and beach areas.

Huge modern room. The owner Nick is very attentive. Location is great for walks to the downtown shops, restraurants and Rock. I will stay here again.

First impression was that the room was tiny. But that’s alright, I can deal with that. The bed sheets were very very old which I didn’t like, and when I laid down it was clear that the pillows were much older. The lumpy, falling apart, pillows were impossible to sleep on. I noticed that the soap, shampoo, and conditioner had their own containers on the wall in the shower and next to the sink which I appreciated. Until I realized that the conditioner and body wash were empty. The towels provided were so old and rough I had to dab myself off to prevent rug burn. There were no in room amenities. Coffee is available in the front office, and the ice machine was a filthy outdoor machine that I decided not to explore further. There are 2 opening windows that are in the front of the room and easy to access by outsiders. The windows were very old and 1 of them didn’t lock at all. Their pet policy is great until it comes to the stupidest thing they did for pets. In front of the only window in the room is a granite topped table which is very slippery and impossible to move. My 22lb Jack Russell terrier jumped onto it, slipped off, and now we’re on our way to the vet because he hasn’t been able to stand on his back left leg since the incident a couple of nights ago. Please don’t stay at the overpriced Motel.

Although a good location, there were no vending machines, no coffee in the rooms or office, and the wifi was painfully slow. Disappointing for the amount paid.
There is no air cond. even though at the coast. Rooms tend to get stuffy.

This Inn was just ok. Clean. But to say that it was ‘totally’ renovated is not how I would describe it. The windows were old. Bathroom window didn’t have a screen on it and was held open with a stick. The front window screen had a big hole in it. The furniture/​tv/​vanity/​sink, linen, night stand, etc were new. But the front door was old. Locks were old. Key entry was new but installed onto the old doors. The ceiling fan had plastic grocery bags stuffed in the top to try and keep it from wobbling, which didn’t help. Breakfast was available in a very small lobby. Loaf of bread with toaster, waffle machine and coffee. Probably won’t stay here again. Weak wifi. They had to keep resetting the router. Called them 3 times in 2 days.

Great stay. My fiancé, 2 cats and I stayed here while house hunting. Newly renovated rooms with WIFI. Management was very caring and helpful. Perfect, short walk to downtown and harbor restaurants. Would recommend to anyone.

Great place to rest for a night during a road trip up the coast. This was the only motel with any availability the other night when we got here and we didn’t think it would be anything special, but we were radiantly surprised. The rooms have all been recently renovated and are large and very nice. The staff was friendly and there was free breakfast and coffee in the morning (as there should be). Was able to book through Kayak/Booking.com and save a few bucks. Also, most rooms had a great view of the rock despite being a block from the water.

fairly cheap, and very close to morro rock which was cool, I suppose this gets them a star.
unfortunately that’s the only cool thing about this place. insides were OK looking, they recently renovated. it’s motel style so your door faces outside.
there is a bright light that comes in through the bathroom window which illuminates the room at night. hope you sleep well with the sound of fridge compressors kicking on every 5 minutes, paper thin walls, and bright lights.
they have wifi, but it’s absolute trash. have a look:
for non technical: sending a message to google and back takes over 15 seconds, and packets disappear 70% of the time. that’s really, really bad.
since the wifi is unusable, I’m marking it as no.

Clean, cheap, and close to the bay. My husband and I biked to the harbor for dinner from this motel.
Beds are uncomfortable and the lobby smelled like day-​old Indian food.
Nonetheless, the place provided large parking spots for big vehicles and was convenient to find and access the area.

The people who run this hotel are very rude. I was over charged by 30 more than Expedia booked this room for.

The only good thing about this place is that it’s within walking distance to the main beach strip. The office stinks badly and they charged me more than the quoted price. This place is worse than a motel 6. The breakfast is a joke too. Stay away from here. You’ve been warned.

Sure it’s cheap, so with that said, it’s a clean comfortable room in a great location. I recommend it if you are looking for a place to sleep and not much else.

My boyfriend and I had searched for housing in SLO all day in mid September, to no avail. Thus, we took a breather in Morro Bay and had looked for a reasonable place to spend the night.
We had called a few hotels directly but here, received great customer service on the phone with an equally great rate of $ 60 so we chose Rockview Inn and Suites for a Monday night.
Parking lot is a little tight but there are plenty of spots. Check in and payment were smooth. I am biased toward hardwood floors and dark wood furniture so I was sold upon walking in to Room 101. We didn’t try the a/​c nor heater– open windows were enough. The complimentary breakfast were cereal options, toast, and a waffle maker. Convenient location in Morro Bay, though where isn’t? Our room didn’t have a view of the ocean.
Thank and we will stay here again, as well as recommend to our friends!

Let me preface by saying, I hate to write bad reviews. But here goes:
My husband and I stayed at this hotel over the 4^th of July weekend, and certainly did not enjoy our experience there. Having been to Morro Bay on several occasions, it’s safe to say that most of the hotels there are dated and a bit dingy. However, we have always found that we can overlook those things if we are offered convenience and good customer service (which we always have been before…). The Rockview Inn certainly did not meet those (pretty lax) standards.
While the Rockview Inn IS a short walk from the waterfront, certainly the hotel itself leaves much to be desired. The lobby is small and hot, and smells horrible. The lady working the front desk was very rude to the people in front of us, and quite brusk with us as well. We were also told at check in that the time to check out was 12:00 pm. However, the day we were leaving, the front desk called our room at 11:50, to inform us that check out time was actually 11:00. I apologized to the guy on the phone, and told him that we were told something different, and that we would hurry up and be out as soon as we could. He then said to me «you need to hurry up and get out.» I have to say, I have never been treated like that at a hotel before.
The rooms themselves are clean enough, but they do allow smoking in front of the room, which means, if you aren’t a smoker, smoke will likely be coming in your room anyway. Our room ended up smelling horrible all weekend because of this. Also, the walls are really really thin. We could hear everything unpleasant thing happening in the room next to ours, and even had to sleep with the TV on to try to drown out all the noise.
We love visiting Morro Bay, but certainly, we will be booking far enough in advance so we never have to stay at this place again.
Ps. It is a pet friendly hotel — watch out for dog poop in the parking lot. It’s there.

Dirty. Small. Stuffy. Stinky. Stale. Sure, they renovated some furniture, possibly to look good in pics, but the rest is gross.
Immediately as you walk in to the check-​in office, you will get a clear view of what’s ahead. The office is as the rooms are, dirty, small, stinky & stale. They also stuffed the continental breakfast eating area in there. The waffle maker, coffee machine & toaster look old, dirty and abandoned. Even if it’s free– NO THANKS. Puke bad. Yes. The state should seriously start looking into the cleanliness of what they are serving up here.
The lady, which I posted a pic of so you know who she is, couldn’t be anymore ruder and basically wants more money bottom line. I booked through expedia and selected 2 adults, 1 child. I guess since I booked through my mobile, the one kid didn’t get recorded in my order. Called expedia, they said this inn doesn’t charge for children anyway. This greedy woman couldn’t help herself, she charged me an extra $ 15 for him and if I hadn’t payed in cash, she’d would have also added an extra $ 2 to that to run my credit card.
Eesh. And all, yes, you guessed, with an attitude.
There were two towels in the bathroom only. They were so old, dingy, thin and cheap.
I shoulda really took the other guys word for it and payed more elsewhere.
A sincere regret.

I only ended up at this hotel because the places I really wanted to stay in Cambria were sold out. So my best advice is to book as far in advance as you can in CAMBRIA to avoid staying in Morro Bay.
It seems exhaustion from driving a great distance to get here has influenced other commenters to be more generous in their reviews about this dump than it actually deserves. I was immediately turned off by the dirt parking lot, the dumpster full of pizza boxes, and the moldy smell when I entered my room, but the fun was only just starting.
For starts, the alarm clock was straight out of a Hitchcock movie, flickering and making sounds that bespoke poor electrical work. Although the room had been «renovated,» I noticed unrepaired damage to walls and ceilings, filthy electrical outlets and baseboards, peeling paint on the walls (especially in the bathroom), a burned out bulb above the bathroom sink, and a missing heat lamp above the shower. There were light switches that didn’t work at all.
It seems that the man in the room above me was once in a marching band, and continues to practice his steps after all these years. That is all good and fine. I am happy for him. However, the poor quality of construction of the building means that you will hear every step the people above you make, and every ecstatic «in-​the-​moment» sound squealed and cooed by the kinky couple on the other side of the wall your bed is pushed up against.
WiFi is included at this fine establishment, however it is configured in such a way that I could only connect through my phone. My computer prevented me from connecting due to the non-​standard network configuration. If you do connect, proceed at your own risk. Even on my phone, I was only able to get a download speed of 4 kbps, which is the equivalent of not having service at all. I switched back to using data access on my phone as a hotspot to gain access from my computer.
The bed itself is bouncy like a kid’s bouncer house, but surprisingly did not sink in the middle. The sheets are threadbare, as in they should have been rotated out a year or so ago. The bathroom towels are also in rough shape. There is a decent shower curtain, but no shower liner. Or maybe it’s a liner without a shower curtain?
In the morning, I discovered the ironing board and the snack machine. The iron is secured to the ironing board so that you won’t steal it. It made me feel right at home. And the snack machine was empty, except for the toilet plunger jammed in between it and the wall.
To say the least, this motel did not meet my most minimal expectation. The best thing I can say about it is that I did not actually see any bugs in the room. I certainly hope I do not discover otherwise later.
Of course, I have documented all of this in photographs since a picture paints a thousand words. I will add these later, as I am posting this glistening review from the safety of a restaurant in Cambria. I must stay, however, that I really hate posting negative reviews on Unilocal.This one was called for.

The reviews of this place were pretty rough, so I was a little hesitant to book at first. However, I was pleasantly surprised! Very clean room and looks like it’s been recently remodeled on the inside. Quick walk to local spots and the beach. My only minor complaint would be that the room seemed a little stuffy, couldn’t get air conditioner to work, but there was a ceiling fan.
All in all, fluffy pillows, clean bathroom, and a good night’s sleep makes me a happy girl!
