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 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.

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!
