Enjoyable location

Very friendly staff and nice and quiet location.
Regina, 1-night trip

Only .3 mile from camp grounds. When the family crawled into their tents, we turned on the heat, the Roku TV, and microwaved our dinner.
Rita, 2-night trip

Overnight visit

Just stayed one night. The street was pretty noisy. The blanket was thin and there were no additional blankets in the room.

Excellent service

You never know what will happen traveling with children. They went above and beyond to help us with all our needs! Never acted like we were a bother.

Clean beach type hotel

The property looks newly renovated and is very clean and without wear inside the rooms. The front desk was professional and efficient in getting us checked in. The a/c blew really cold on the bed next to it and there wasnt a blanket just sheets and a duvee. The room could also use a second waste bin although there was a larger waste recepticle in the walk way. Its about a 5 min drive to downtown Pismo Beach and about a 15 min walk to the Oceano beach. There is a market next door which is very convenient as well. If your main goal is to spend the day at the beach you can't beat this for the price and location.

Very easy check in process, very friendly staff, and a clean room with comfortable beds and pillows.

Its in a great safe location. There's a store right next to it and a Mexican restaurant across the street. Its walking distance to the Oceano beach/Dunes.

Great service, renovated property

We were so impressed by the service at this property. I have bad asthma and also had to arrive very late, so I contacted them about both before booking. They were fantastic through the whole process including when we learned our arrival would be even later, great when we checked in, and then giving us a little extra time to check out. Saved the day! The property also felt clean and newly remodeled. And I appreciated the shower toiletry dispensers vs tiny bottles. We would definitely stay again (and hopefully much earlier)!

Definitely a diamond in the rough. Came to hit the dunes and enjoy the beach so we only really slept in the room. The staff was courteous, the room was clean, and we got what we expected. Big thanks for accommodating a downstairs room!

Some glitches with the physical facility, as they were coming out of a major remodeling (lock did not work on first room, etc.) but staff was very friendly and helpful and took care of any problems. We really enjoyed our stay.

The place is nice and clean newly renovated. Walking distance to the beach .Dog friendly and there is a park nearby you can take your dog. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended.

Check in was a breeze with Josh. They’ve done a great job remodeling very comfortable mattress, but the pillows were too soft. It was quiet at night, but road traffic woke me up in the morning because our room was in the front overall it was a great experience.
