Located on an oceanfront bluff off of Pismo Beach, Tides Oceanview Inn and Cottages offers an ideal location for guests. Free WiFi and free parking are also provided for guests’ convenience.

The motel is 5 minutes’ walk from the ocean. California Polytechnic State University is 20 km away.

The first 3 weeks were perfect , the hotel staff amazing. But somehow I misunderstood the checkout date and was late by an hour and a half checking out and things got ugly fast . I felt terrible as they had guests coming in as well. Someone on the staff team said some mean things and my checkout price was higher than I was quoted or had paid all the prior days … Much higher. I was to receive a 20% off for my stays as I am local and in between houses. They didn’t apply that to my Che out fees at all . I guess because I was late checking out .

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Room was clean and fine. I had been traveling for 8 days and stayed at Motel 6 almost exclusively. So this is comparison to other Motel 6. This was the most uncomfortable. The bed was fine. Pillows the worst. There was a deodorizer smell that was extremely strong in the room and gave me a huge headache.

    The location of the motel created the best experience in Pismo I’ve ever had. You don’t want to drive into downtown Pismo and worry parking or if you want to have a drink or two with lunch and dinner and after dinner. We literally parked the car for a day and a half and walked to all our favorite spots. We could take breaks freshen up and when ready walk a block to our next destination. Chill

    Pictures don't do this justice. The motel room was super clean and spacious and looked like it had recently been renovated. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Free parking (and we could stay longer than check in if required to visit the area). Comfy bed. Great access to the beach and pier.

    Great location right on the beach front. Amazing room and the staff was super friendly and helpful! Pismo beach was a bit of a surprise location on the road trip, really enjoyed the place, the beach and the motel was super located to enjoy the area. We will be back next time we're in California.
