It was an amazing stay. The room was very clean and we had an oceanfront room. The view was spectacular. We will go there again to spend some more time.

Definitely Worth It!
We stayed in an oceanfront room and I would ABSOLUTELY come back! (I would also spring for the upgrade, for sure.) It was an excellent experience from top to bottom. Well done!

We love staying here when we go to pismo, but I just wish they had air conditioning in the rooms… it gets stuffy in the rooms & if your on the bottom floor, I don’t feel comfortable leaving sliding glass door open…

take my advise
We stayed in an ocean front king room. Love this view, fire pits and scenic walk. My problem was the couple above us, Sounded like they were moving furniture at 2;30am. Then they were up at 5:15 walking , showering, toilet flushing 5 times, etc... all this went on for 2 hours!
Totally ruined my morning. Take my advice and only stay upstairs. And for those of you staying upstairs, please be kind to the guests below you!!!
