Perfect little spot, walking distance to everything Pismo has to offer yet still quiet surroundings

Manager was very nice at check in. Room wasn’t horrible but bathroom was disgusting. There was mold on the ceiling and all over the bottom of the shower curtain which makes me think that it doesn’t get changed between guests. The bathroom had no ventilation (which is most likely the cause of the mold) other than a small window that had no screen. I’ve stayed at blue seal before (a different room) and it was not nasty like this one was. I doubt I’ll stay there again.

the staff at checkin and check out were super amazing friendly and nice. the room we were in #15 its a super basic room PROS: the bed was comfortable. there was a microwave, mini fridge and table with two chairs also a tv. The towels seemed pretty new. The parking lot is easy to park in. CONS: the mini fridge door dragged on the ground making it hard to open and close. the room needs a deep clean and maintenance. the walls need painting as you can see were repairs were done and instead of using wall color its now a hige spot of white paint. the faucet in the bathroom is super loose to the point of needing repair. all the walls and door jams are horribly dirty. the floor was however super clean as well as the shower. This hotel was great for a night at 145.00 in mid oct.

A few sachets of shampoo but no soap or body wash. No cups or glasses in the room and no coffee maker. Plus no TV guide on the channel numbers. And no way to work out how to turn on the AC. Overall a very basic and sterile room lacking in the usual amenities. We will not be staying here again.

Cons: The pool is under repair, the motel was noisy. It was hard to sleep with the light shining in the window, shutters would not close all the way. The air conditioner is a wall unit, it did not cool off the room. The bathroom was clean but old. The beds were lumpy. The beds had sheets and bedspreads, no actual blankets. The neighborhood was sketchy. The price was high. Located on an extremely busy street with no crosswalks for a few blocks. A lot of people park their trailers or RVs on the street so it is hard to see traffic if you are walking around.
Pros: walking distance to the beach. Management was helpful. Parking was included. Parking was not strict. Pets are allowed.
If you can get this place for a deal it would be worth it. For 300 a night? Look elsewhere.

There were no lamps on the nightstands. Only light in the bedrooms provided by one bulb in the ceiling. Sink area had no countertop no place for women replace their cosmetic bags or anything else. No tissues in the room no toilet paper holder in the bathroom. Only two towels available. Combination shampoo and conditioner packets were extremely difficult to tear open. It was a large gap under the front door which allowed cold air to stream in at night. Booked a queen bed but was given a full size. Way overpriced it more than $330. Probably deserved some credit on my bill as a result. Swimming pool was drained needed work.

We had no other option, so we had to suck it up. The property is run down but has potential to look so much better. We got the 3 beds that had a little kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen cabinet doors were hanging off, one bathroom had no toilet seat and was clogged, the carpets were horrendous, only one small trash can provided for the entire room(not even for the bathrooms), possible mold spotted in bathrooms, and our room was not ready till 7:30PM! Pros: walking distance to the beach, having 3 beds and kitchen. With the right management in place, this location can improve greatly. Until then, we plan to stay elsewhere.

Unfortunately, my room was lacking some expected items that the manager mostly remedied in a timely manner.
1) missing smoke detector (replaced timely)
2) broken lamp (not fixed per my decision)
3) TV did not work easily (manager had to show me how to finagle buttons to get to live tv. There was no way to figure this out without his help)
4) Towels no bath mat or hand towels in room when checked in. We finally got some after a couple days.
5) Bed had a thin bedspread and sheet only. I had to ask for a blanket
6) Bare minimum in the room - 1 queen bed, 2 bed side tables with lamps, one broken, 1 small table with 2 unmatching chairs, small refrigerator and 1 TV.
7)Swimming pool was empty and out of commission.
8) No breakfast, food or coffee offered.
The bathroom was very nice and clean with a walkin shower.
Knowing and accepting all these limitations, I would possibly stay here again. The price was right.

Bed had only one sheet to cover no blanket. Reported to receptionist, but we never got a blanket or extra towel. Stayed 2 night, never cleaned. Receptionist said they needed help and only one person was working. Horrible experience. We will never go to this place again.

Bed sheets were dirty with stained pullows. They did remake the bed after I talked to the manager but it shouldn't havd to come to that. Place is really gone down hill since the last time I was here. I don’t think I'll stay at this motel again.

The shower was dirty and rusty, showered at the beach showers instead. They also charge an additional fee upon check in that was not disclosed anywhere but upon arrival. The room and bed itself wasn’t too bad just the dirty rusted bath tub was the only complaint.

I didnt really like how the sink was lifting from its place, there was a part missing from the curtains that I had to cover with a towel because people can see in, the drawers handles were out of its hinges and we had to leave early to beat the traffic but we got delayed because no one was answering the door even though on there page it says open 24/7
