Clean, Updated room. Perfect for a couple
The room was very clean and updated. Appreciate the plank flooring for cleanliness over carpeting. Only downside was missing remote for tv & couldn’t watch it. Asked for one at front desk but took a few hours and had to go ask again. Minor inconvenience overall.

Cute spot, decent location customer serice bad
The TV never worked, they have instructions on how to reprogram it which we did about 15 time's but it never worked. Also AC stopped working in the middle of the night. Relayed that via text to manager who completely ignored my concern

Front staff was especially nice and helpful. Great location, blocks away from the ocean, pier and shopping/dining. Room was clean, bed was too soft for my liking but comfortable. Definitely would stay here on my next trip!!

Feels a bit cheap and tired. It’s an old motel. They updated with laminate floors and fresh paint. Cute but cheap decor. Bathroom needed some updating. Felt dirtier than a gym bathroom just because it is old not because it was necessarily dirty.
Great location though and staff were nice at check in!

A decent value for the price. The room was comfortable and even a bit larger than I anticipated. The freeway noise is constant, but that irritant can be obscured by putting on the AC or fan.

The service here was everything I could’ve dreamed of! It felt so personal almost like a bread and breakfast. I would definitely come back again if I’m ever in the area.

Perfect!
Only place I'll stay in Pismo moving forward. The place is simple, clean and im a great location. Laura at the feont desk couldn't have been nicer! Customer service isn't what it used to be but at Ocean Palms they hit the mark. Thank you!!
