I have stayed at this hotel many times in the past when going to Pismo. This is the first time I came back after it has been touched up. It is a nice and quiet place to stay, located near highway 1 but you could hardly hear the traffic. Location is a short drive to stores, beach, and pier.

Nice property, conveniently located to 101 freeway, restaurants and shops. Great gym with lots of free weights, machines and cardio equipment. I thought breakfast was included but it was an extra $22 per person plus tax. It did not appear to be worth it.
