Blue Sail Inn. 10 on a scale of 10.
Pros:

Arrived between 11:00 and 11:30 coming from Pismo Beach. Made a reservation a week earlier. Knowing check in time was 3:00. I checked with the front desk just to let them know we arrived, And were to park the car. She politely welcomed me and thanked me for my service( I was wearing my Navy Veteran Hat). Then said they offer early check in, and it will take 5 minutes if interested. Of course I took her up on it. Received our Key cards and headed to our room. Very secure facility, had to use Key card to enter the building and (elevator). This was a great opportunity due to my wife is disabled. Room was just like picture. Clean, comfortable and well maintained. This stay has made our next stay a No Brainer. We will continue to make reservations here due to Location and the Front desk experience. This was 180 out compared to The Landing, which we had the worst experience ever. Rude, unprofessional. I’m a Vietnam Veteran, Received a Bronze star for service, wearing the same hat back 3/17/2026. Ruined my stay that day. The Blue sail inn will be our future destination. We stay at Morro Bay every 2 months. Highly recommended it. The LANDING has lost us as guests for ever.

Great location, well maintained property
Pros:

The location was convenient, with a good view of Morro Bay. It was within walking distance of nearly everything we wanted to do. Our room was on the lower level with a balcony. Minor inconvenience to carry our suitcases down and up a short flight of stairs. The sea lions can be a bit loud, but we knew that ahead of time & there was only one night when it was an issue. Our room was spacious and comfortable.

Cons:

As mentioned, the short flight of stairs when carrying luggage. My wife and I are fit for being 75 and 78, but it was a minor challenge.

It was OK not great
Pros:

Location is great, easy to get into the parking lot.

Cons:

Unfortunately we had a bathroom door that made noise vey loud squakes anytime your tried open or close the door. Also the bed made loud noises if sat on it. Also the toilet made some nasty sounds a long with the shower pipes being very loud like they were going to blow up.
This was in room 201 We have stayed at the Blue Sail for over 30 years and never had a bad room until now.

Pros:

Close to downtown. Room was large.

Cons:

Room was not in the main hotel, but across the street. Room felt dated and always smelled musty no matter how much we aired it out. Also set over parking garage so could hear people talking, doors slaming at all hours. Photo of view from outside the windows on website showed grass and trees... actually was a parking lot. One morning was woken up by the trash truck right under our window. We did go for the least expensive room. If we would ever consider staying there again we would get a more expensive room, but only if it was in the main hotel.
