Location was great. On site parking was convenient. Room was very small and crowded. Bed not very comfortable. No air conditioning but room was supplied with a fan.

It is an affordable way to stay in the downtown Pismo area walking to most everything. Nothing fancy and room is very small, but fine for us mostly exploring around and just there to sleep and easy location to go back to change clothes in room from day to night. Everything in room was clean, had a mini fridge, microwave, new keurig, and outside ice machine near the office.

Very clean, appears to be recently refurbished. Super convenient location—we never needed to use our car the whole weekend. It is a modest, slightly older property with fridge, microwave, hairdryer. No AC, but at the beach you don’t really need it. We’ll be back!

I loved how close to the beach it was and to near by restaurants. The unfortunate part, the refrigerator didn’t work, neither of the fans worked, the towels were disgusting. I had to go to Walmart to buy new towels and a cooler to keep drinks and food.

Everything was great as far as room quality/size. Remember you’re staying at the beach where there’s high traffic and people constantly staying. If it’s noisy it’s cause you’re at Pismo and you chose a motel/Inn. Perfect for basic amenities if wanting a budget friendly stay. Owners are welcoming and will provide extra towels or whatever you need upon request.
