Such a beautiful property. The room was beautiful and so cozy and smelled amazing. And it's right on the beach. The pool and hot tub were amazing. Took a late night dip in the hot tub and it was so nice and relaxing.

The hotel is beautiful!  Looks exactly like in the pictures. So beautiful with coastal access . The location is perfect. The rooms are clean, beautiful, smell super clean. Looks like new hotel. Peaceful Environment. If i return to Pismo I will stay in the same hotel and of course I 100 % recommend it.  The front desk person super friendly and the people that works there super friendly. My entire family loved it!

Booked online and received email offering upgrade to sea views, so booked it and received confirmation. Arrived and clerk was so slow, took 45 minutes to get the wrong room. Spoke to clerk and I was told I was wrong but offered me the upgrade for over three times the cost. Gave up.

They now charge a nominal parking fee. This is ridiculous as it's an area where there is no street parking and you need to drive there and they have a decent size parking lot. The excuse is all the others are diing it and their charge is less. Im sure it'll go up. It's not a metropolitan area. The jacuzzi was full of parents and kids in diapers. Disgusting! Im okay with no more maid service, etc. This has been my go to hotel when in pismo. Not anymore. Just set the room rate at what it is and practice decent hygiene in public areas!

Location is great, if you prefer being away from the touristy hustle and bustle of downtown (we do!). The walkway along the cliff top is amazing, and the stairs to the beach is great, but walking all the way to the pier is quite a trek. The pool is small but warm and was never too busy. Two fire pits were mostly occupied before we were able to get spots.  The breakfast food options in the “cafe” were disappointing and there was no coffee. They did have a machine to make espresso drink that were ok. I would suggest skipping these and going off-site or DoorDash something good.  Free EV charging was great. There is one Tesla and two J1772 (I assume). I was the only one charging the three days we were there, and was able to fully charge overnight both nights.
