Relaxed Comfort Just Off the Morro Bay Waterfront

Modern comfort meets coastal charm at the Fireside Inn, a laid-back, 3-star hotel located just one block from the scenic waterfront in downtown Morro Bay. With its walkable location, cozy rooms, and thoughtful amenities like free Wi-Fi, in-room microwaves and fridges, and massaging shower heads, this spot makes a great home base for music lovers looking to explore California’s Central Coast.
Some rooms even offer balconies or views of the iconic Morro Rock, perfect for winding down after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a show in Morro Bay, heading up the coast to Paso Robles, or visiting venues near San Luis Obispo, Fireside Inn puts you within easy driving distance. With free parking and a central location, it’s hassle-free to get to and from your event. After the energy of a concert, guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the chance to recharge in rooms with comfy beds and blackout curtains. Late 4:00 pm check-in makes it easy to swing by after exploring, and a 11:00 am check-out offers a relaxed morning departure.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable base with space to chill
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list gig on the Central Coast
• Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend getaway
• Fans needing a quiet place to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, Fireside Inn’s prime downtown location means you’re steps from Morro Bay’s best eateries—perfect for grabbing a late bite after a gig. Popular cafés and restaurants offer breakfast options for slow mornings, and in-room coffee machines help jumpstart your day. With a microwave and fridge in every room, you can also stash leftovers or prep a quick snack.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is chill and quiet, you’re close to local bars, wine lounges, and beachside pubs in downtown Morro Bay. Catch live music at nearby venues or sip craft brews with a sea breeze. It’s easy to enjoy the scene and then retreat to your peaceful room.

What People Say

Guests love the location, praising how close it is to the waterfront, restaurants, and boutique shops. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms get consistent shoutouts, as does the friendly staff. Reviewers mention the free parking and the value for money as big perks for a Central Coast stay.

Areas for Improvement

This is a cozy, no-frills inn, so there’s no pool, spa, or on-site bar. Some rooms are a bit on the small side, and walls can be thin—pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper. But for the price and location, most guests find it more than worth it.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a convenient, affordable, and comfortable stay near Morro Bay’s music venues and waterfront views, the Fireside Inn hits all the right notes.
