The room was very comfortable. The only thing I wish we had was the space to hang our clothes and maybe a microwave in the room would’ve been very helpful.
Other than that, it was a great experience

A very good place to stay to enjoy Pismo Beach, convenient for the main shops and restaurants but far enough away to be quiet. One flaw was no coat hangers to hang clothes!

Receptionist was lovely and efficient. Room very clean, loved the bed. Pillows way too hard, but I slept well. Sunset stunning. And waking up to the sound of the ocean was lovely.

Friendly staff, and Very Clean!
Checking in was a breeze no hassle. The guy working the front desk was very Helpful and very Friendly. Our Cottage was very clean. I would say from a scale of 1 to 10 I would give our cottage a 7. The couch and chairs were not comfortable to sit on. Our front door had a big gap. Bug's were getting in. Also our view of the ocean from the chairs had a big plant covering our view.

The rooms are newly renovated and clean. The bathroom will need some bleach down the drain to remove foul smells.
