Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

8/10 Good
"Friendly staff, comfortable bed, average hotel room. Location of building is walkable if you have good mobility, there are stairs. Parking lot is tight, large trucks and SUV’s are not ideal. While we were there the ice machine were not working, and they were working on construction/moving palates of flooring during our stay so there was extra noise in the morning. It is off-season, so I understand need to update, it would’ve been better to start the noise at least after 0900-1000."
