That hotel was a kind of shock for us. I have to admit that room was clean and comfortable, but it is a small roadside motel, rather than hotel, in a very unattractive area. No amenities at all. Room’s window faced a wall. Other rooms face a loud and busy street, so we were actually lucky. It was OK for us to spend a night on our road trip, but definitely do not recommend.

The primary motivation behind selecting this particular accommodation was its admirable proximity to the ocean—a decision rooted in both logic and a healthy appreciation for coastal charm. I am pleased to report that this strategy proved to be exceptionally sound. The beach itself was nothing short of delightful, offering a refreshing and scenic escape that fully justified the booking. As for the inn, it served as an excellent place of repose after a day of seaside indulgence. The beds were notably comfortable—so much so that one might briefly question whether returning home is truly necessary—and the rooms were maintained with commendable cleanliness. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, as though the establishment anticipated both our arrival and our reluctance to leave. In summary, the experience struck a fine balance between practicality and pleasure: close enough to the ocean to hear the waves, yet comfortable enough indoors to make ignoring them a tempting option.

Clean, great price, super pleasant staff. Judging by the name you'd think there'd be sand everywhere in the room. Not the case. Surprisingly clean. Bit noisy with street traffic in morning but maybe ask for back bldg away from street. Got in at midnight so didnt see until morning but next door was a liquor/convenience/deli. Less than a minute drive to the main Pismo Beach access. Took kid surf fishing in morning. We are used to more hotels in SLO than motels, but we would 100% book a room here again. Generally speaking, no negatives, only positives! Thanks!
