The ingredients were evidently fresh, and the chef's expertise was evident in every bite. All in all, the food was not just nice, but genuinely satisfying and commendable."

The Pismo Beach Hotel is located right in the heart of the Downtown Pismo Beach area and offers great affordable lodging and accommodations. Within easy walking distance, there is something for everyone: An art gallery, a coffee shop, restaurants, and shopping. Only 1 block from the Pismo Beach Pier and by the Beaches and Dunes.

The reception staff were excellent both on check in and check out, even advising us that if we were quick we could make it to the pier for sunset, which was one of the most amazing things my wife and I have seen. It was clean and tidy and the room had perfect views of the pier and the beach. The location was perfect as we could walk to the pier in a matter of minutes and it was right in the middle of a handful of bars and restaurants. A room upgrade for our honeymoon was a lovely touch, as was the décor in the lobby and the free tea/coffee at anytime. The adjoining café for breakfast was also brilliant.

    The hotel is almost on the beach. We had an ocean view room, which meant we could sit on our balcony and watch the sunset. The room and bathroom were clean, and the beds were comfortable.

    Perfect location with the most beautiful view! We enjoyed the sunset while sitting in the hot tub and later went for a walk on the beach. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, parking is free and there are delicious restaurants in the area.

    Right on the beach, handy for Pismo's tourist area. Thoughtful recommendations at check in. Great seating area adjacent to beach, keeping the wind and sand at bay. Coffee machine.

    The location...right on the beach and close to restaurants and cafes. A right little gem which made us book an extra night rather than just a quick stopover. The manager was super helpful and not only allowed us to check in extra early because we arrived before schedule but also went out of his way to advise on areas to visit and good places to eat. Small room but nice, clean and comfortable with fantastic ocean views. Wi-Fi good too! Totally recommend this motel. 👌
