This is a very charming small hotel (maybe 30 or so rooms?), kept in immaculate condition, and staffed by some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. They went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The area is very scenic, and there are numerous stores and restaurants for those so inclined. We will definitely be back !

the picture don’t do justice for this hotel. This hotel is so cute, pets are welcome on the first floor, and staff are great. Throughout the day hotel offers pastries, cocktails, pies with ice cream and a charcuterie board with wine. I would definitely recommend and return back with my dog. Paulina is an amazing host made us feel right at home😊

The croissants, snacks, wine and cheese and the pies! The hotel atmosphere and comfortable rooms and the proximity to the beach are great. The restaurant choices are limited in the immediate area (Pismo has more to offer if you want that). We have been to La Fonda several times and would go back again for sure!
