What guests think

At Holland Inn and Suites, reviewers frequently note friendly, helpful staff and a budget-friendly stay with convenient access to Highway 1, the beach, and nearby grocery and restaurants, making it a practical base for short trips.

Rooms are simple and often recently updated, but many mention no air conditioning, small layouts, varied bed comfort, and occasional highway or guest noise. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: several guests found rooms very clean, while others report dirty floors, lingering smoke or odors, and maintenance grime. Hot water and water pressure can be unreliable in some bathrooms, and parking—though convenient—may feel tight; pet-friendly policies exist but usually include extra fees. Expect a basic, budget stay with trade-offs.

My family stayed here for an event we had . First of all, the description is deceiving and inaccurate. It said 3 queen beds for this suite . When we arrived, there was two queen beds and one couch that pulled into a bed . They make you think you are getting a normal bed when it’s a dirty drained spring pull out couch . Then , when we went to ask front desk for more sheets and blankets for that pull out , they refused st first. The woman in the front said they don’t give extra blankets and sheets and the beds already have them. The pull out couch had dirty stained sheets and they were extremely thin. I literally had to argue with her to get her to give me ONE extra sheet . How ridiculous is that!? Terrible service and they front desk was extremely rude and unprofessional. The parking was terrible , everything about this stay was bad . The room and bathroom were dirty, the bathroom door wouldn’t shut properly as it was broken, one of those old clunky doors and doorknobs that you and to slam closed to try to get it to shut . Just terrible overall . Will not be returning and not recommend. Oh, one last thing , NO AIR conditioning. No ac , just one fan . We all slept extremely uncomfortably and HOT!

For the price it was ok, the room and parking were way too small. The bed was hard and made noise when moved. Farther away from the beach than thought. But for the price it was fine.

I always appreciate a single story motel because it means I don't have to lug my bags up a flight of stairs. Check-in was prompt and parking was convenient and close to my room (a little tight though). The bed was okay, but the pillows seemed like they were due to be replaced. I liked that the bathroom had dispensers for the soap and shampoo, but the water pressure was on the low side. Consider putting a digital alarm clock in the room so people can see what time it is when they wake up in the middle of the night. It was quiet for the most part, except for the people in the room next to me, but I don't think I can pin that on the motel. I travel mostly to do nature photography and am usually looking for no frills places to sleep and recharge all my equipment -the room had lots of outlets and USB ports, which is a plus. I would stay here again.

People are nice but the floor was dirty, had a pair of white socks on for just a few minutes and the bottom of them were brown. and the bed was horrible; it is an old-style spring mattress. And would not say it is Pet Friendly, when you have to put up a $250 pet deposit.

Really large mini fridge in room which was nice for drinks & leftovers. Walking distance to Taco Temple and Spencer's Grocery market. Next to Spencer's market is a nice grassy area if you have pets who need to go potty. Only thing that wasn't great was that we had our three dogs and it cost an extra $25 per dog per night. I felt like that was a little steep seeing as how we were already paying the higher Saturday night rate. But none-the-less, dog friendly and close to the dog beach. We were able to get a couple extra pillows after asking.

The hotel was very disappointing, one of the room tvs didnt work and the refrigerator had black mold. The bathroom was the cleaning area in the whole room, however it also had boxes full of sheets stacked in the bathroom. There were multiple cars with people outside smoking weed in the car and there was a random chair and refrigeraters outside of the side of the hotel and it seemed like people lived there. For paying almost $300 for one night in Morro Bay, we were extremely disappointed. We will never come here again.

Smoke detectors covered with plastic! Non smoking but our room smelled like weed and cigarettes from people outside! Parking lot awful! Door was dented! Owner refuses to refund because I didn’t tell them in the first 10 mins after I checked in after midnight!! Calling health department and fire marshal of Moro bay!!

The room was extremely dirty and hot—there was no air conditioning. My daughter cried because she couldn’t sleep, and the bed smelled strongly of cigarettes. People were laughing loudly outside until 1 AM. I only managed to catch a bit of sleep around 3 AM, and then a guy with a motorcycle spent forever revving and preparing to leave at 6 AM. We’re from LA, and after a 4-hour drive back home, we were completely exhausted. We hadn’t been able to rest properly for two nights and three days. There was no coffee maker in the room. When I asked the receptionist, she said someone might have taken it and handed me one from another room—it was covered in wet dust. Honestly, I wish I could give less than one star.

This hotel did not have air conditioning in ANY ROOMS! I didn’t think that would be a concern when I booked. There was a ceiling fan that didn’t work. The person working there offered us a room north of this hotel, which had air conditioning. The Holland Inn and Suites should not be listed on Orbitz

Our two beds are separated in two rooms. One of which is a suite. I like the convenience of the fridge and microwave provided. The rooms and bathroom are updated. I like the custom shower stall but the faucet is at full strength when I turn it to the hottest position. The water flow will drop when I turn it to the cold water direction. Some guests talked loudly before dusk but it’s not the hotel’s fault. It’s people’s lack of courtesy. I enjoyed the highly rated Mexican seafood restaurant next door. I also walked to the grocery store to buy some fresh fruit.

My fave places to stay in Morro Bay were all booked out, so I booked this one. I wasn't expecting it to be super great, but ... hmm, some things bugged me. It's quite far from where you'd wanna be in Morro Bay, there were people talking loudly and smoking cigarettes right outside my door, there were full ashtrays sitting right on the doorstep, kinda gross if you're not a smoker. The parking lot didn't feel very safe. The room was OK, but as per normal with motels these days, only the bare minimum was provided, i e about 3 tissues left in the tissue box, one single paper cup, you know the drill. It was a place to lay my head and not much else.
