We visited this inn this last weekend and it was amazing what they have done to this place the remodel of this hotel has really changed the experience. The rooms are perfect, clean, and spacious enough to enjoy a trip to Pismo! It's walking distance to the beach, downtown Pismo is only footsteps away, and there is a little park right next door with BBQs and a fire pit at the little park across the street! The staff is super friendly and very informative about any of your needs. Not to mention at a price very affordable! We will definitely be coming back soon
Manager was awesome. Spent 5 days. Very peaceful and quiet. Rooms have thick old style walls and the bed was very comfortable. I would rate this a 3 star hotel...
I am a local but live in Bakersfield, Stayed here when I visited family and friends, Everything was good. But the Indian lady in there was sleeping at 6pm and got mad with us because she had to wake up and take care of us. Front fest service wasn't great but the stay was
Very impressed with my stay! The manager was extremely accommodating and kind! I can tell they renovated the motel as it looks modern and up to date. Very clean room! Hot water runs with good pressure. Heater runs good. Wanted to stay another night but because it was the weekend it would be double the price but the manager ok'd it and got to stay over the weekend under $100 can't beat that ! Wish I had taken more pics inside because I see pics here are outdated. Affordable considering the location. It is walking distance to the beach, downtown and a 7/11 across the street for quick trips. Will comeback
Stayed here for 3 days and was pleased with the price and the stay in the room with my wife & 3 kids. Not a fancy place but very decent. The staff was GREAT & always made sure you had everything you needed while we where here. If you are looking for a nice & affordable stay in Pismo Beach within walking to the Beach and Downtown this is the place. We will be back here again!! Thank You To the Staff!!!
Rooms are nice bathrooms are good. Fridge. Real good it will freeze you stuff . need better TV channels. Good but need taller sign
You get what you pay for. If you manage your expectations for a motel less than $200 only 100 yards from the beach then you won’t be disappointed. If you are expecting luxury for less than $200 you will be very disappointed. For the price I would recommend this motel.
First and foremost,, their are NOT infested with bed bugs . Very clean near the beach . Best part of the stay the allowed our furry son . I really liked the pillows super comfy
Compact waterfront zone of hotels, casual eateries & surf shops, with a wide beach & a fishing pier.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
