“For a modest price, this inn puts you right on the bay, with many rooms showcasing views of Morro Rock. Its main advantage is an unbeatable location walkable to shops and restaurants. Expect a friendly, helpful staff and clean, if basic, rooms-some even come with those much-praised cinnamon rolls.”
