We absolutely loved staying at the Pleasant Inn! The room was beautiful, super clean, and really comfortable. The location was honestly one of the best parts. It was so close to the beach, restaurants, and little shops that we ended up walking pretty much everywhere instead of driving. It made the whole trip so easy and relaxing. We’d definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Morro Bay. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a comfortable place in a great location!

Cute cozy room. The inn is an older establishment, it’s like stepping back in time to the 60’s the bathroom was tiny but clean. Our room had a kitchenette with a refrigerator and stove and sink . There were some utensils and dishes to use. All in all we liked the Pleasant Inn. Almost forgot the queen bed was comfy.

I've been coming to the Pleasanton Inn for almost 20 years, and the experience gets better each time. It's clean, quiet and the kitchen is a HUGE bonus. We love that it is in walking distance of Embarcadero and Main St. We can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed our stay at Pleasant Inn. The location is wonderful, plus parking and easy walks to town and to the water. We got lucky, and our visit coincided with the kite festival and the farmers market, all walkable! Plus, the sounds of wildlife and the pitter-patter of the rain on the roof were really magical. The room and bathroom were clean, and the shower had great water pressure. We'd definitely stay here again, though, if you're a sensitive sleeper like me, I'd recommend bringing earplugs as the walls are thin + your own pillow.

The deluxe suite was very clean, convenient, and had an excellent view of the bay and a side view of Morro Rock (you have to be right next to the window to see the rock). It is up a steep, narrow flight of stairs and you have to go through the lobby to get to it, but those were the only drawbacks. The couch makes into a queen sized bed, too, so you can honestly sleep 6 normal sized adults in this room. Worth every penny.

The price was great, it was quiet and semi clean but the bed smelled strongly like uren . Check in and out was easy. I would come back because you can’t beat the price for the location.
