This hotel is just perfect, we had a wonderful time there..; The rooms are charming, big, comfortable. THe staff is very nice and friendly. The beach is just behind the hotel. The only thing to improve would be the size of the pool, pretty small.. It's really a good address to have a nice relaxin break. More

We stayed for three nights with our teenage kids and had plenty of room to spread out and relax. The fireplace is perfect for the coastal temps when the sun goes down. I liked the layout and spaciousness of the room. Next time we will probably stay downstairs to enjoy the porch - no lanai on the second floor :(... More

I wish I could have stayed longer than just 1 night. We had a king room with a patio out onto the ocean viewing cliff. Fireplace was a nice touch and hot tub was great. Ate nearby at Vandana grill (which has impeccable service). Breakfast here was filling and free. Wifi worked well and who doesn't love swan towels?! My... More

My complaints are that they have a very limited breakfast.. Only protein is cottage cheese, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs. Second complaint is that they choose afternoon weekends to perform routine cleaning all around you. In example, they were washing the windows around the hit tub and pool while guests are using it. Why can't this be done when they... More

Stayed for only 1 night, but wished we could have stayed longer. Superb Hotel in a fabulous location. We had a "Sea View" room, overlooking beautiful gardens, and over the Cliffs out to sea. We left the windows open all night to listen to the waves rolling in onto the beach below. The room was large, spotlessly clean, and had... More

Nothing like waking to the sound of the pacific, problem is the rooms are so hot and stuffy with no AC so you havent slept all night. Room are quirky and make a good stop off location More

I stayed here for 2 nights and was fortunate enough to have a sea view room which was lovely! The rooms themselves were very quaint and tidy and the beds were lovely and comfortable. The view out from the front of the hotel down the beach is lovely and there are some chairs to sit and relax on. The breakfast... More

We arrived late and were greated by home made cookies at the front desk. They had a plaque with happy birthday to me :) When we arrived in our room it was so comfortable, from the swan towel animals on the bed to the fire place that we turned on. The next day we went down the stairs to the... More

Another favorite place to stay in Pismo beach. Very comfortable beds and linens. Ocean view rooms are not for the one who actually get out of room to breath ocean. Great place for couples. More
