Cottage Inn by the Sea
9.2 (135 reviews)

Cottage Inn by the Sea ★★★

📍 2351 Price St, Pismo Beach

"The stay was enjoyable with good location. My only gripe is that they charged $12 for parking without any prior notice. Next time through Pismo I'll stay at a place that doesn't charge for parking."

Spyglass Inn
8.7 (107 reviews)

Spyglass Inn ★★★

📍 2705 Spyglass Dr, Pismo Beach

"The room was spacious and relatively clean. In the mornings, you could grab coffee and drinks from the front desk, and there was a microwave to heat food. The biggest surprise was the pool plus the spa, and the oceanfront garden where you could watch the sunrise and sunset over the Pacific Ocean. If you choose a king-sized bed room, you can relax on the patio and enjoy the sea view. It's perfect for a vacation stay."

Dolphin Cove Motel ★★
"The room is quite big. Both bedrooms face the sea. The beach and the pier are right at the door. You must arrive at the hotel early to watch the sunset. The location is unbeatable, but the hygiene is a bit disappointing. After all, it is a motel. There is a microwave oven and the parking space is downstairs. Although there is no elevator, there are only two floors in total. It is recommended to live on the second floor because the view is better."
