was forced into purchasing a room at this motel and was not able to get out of it. This was not the Motel that we requested. we clicked on the motel we wanted to stay at and paid and they sent us a confirmation for a totally different Motel so we had to pay for two motels that night .

Very charming, cosy place to stay with a rustic/retro vibe. It’s clear they have thought about your needs and have put a lot of care into making it comfortable and welcoming for guests. A quick walk got us delicious Mexican food at Zorro’s, and the ocean is also easily reached on foot.
It’s located along the 101 where you won’t get a great view and will hear traffic - not a complaint because it was to be expected. They kindly provide ear plugs on your bedside tables should you require.

it was a very spacious room, and although the location was in the center of everything pismo, it was a very quiet space and nice location to bring a boyfriend or a girlfriend maybe even a husband or wife for a weekend‘s stay. I will definitely be coming back. I will definitely recommend.

Beautiful compact room. Very well presented, super soft bedding and great mattress. Good location and pretty quiet for being on the main road.
Would be nice to have a blackout blind and perhaps a little smaller bed than expected, but those are tiny nitpicks on a very nice room.

At check-in, which was contactless and worked well, we noticed that the bed was dirty in several places. After a phone call the hostess immediately took care and sent an employee over, we got a free upgrade to the suite!
When we moved into the suite, the employee did a cleanliness check and said that everything was clean - we trusted her and that was our mistake, because after she left again, we noticed that this bed was also dirty (even worse than in the room before). We then wrote to the hostess again, this time we were told that there was a spare bed sheet in the closet - but this one was also dirty. We were assured that cleanliness was a top priority - but it couldn't be, because even the floor was extremely dirty. A look at the photo attached with my previously new (!!!) white sneaker socks says it all - these were so dirty that I had to throw them away afterwards.
Conclusion: The hostess was initially very helpful and the free upgrade was very nice. However, for the much too high price even for the standard room, you should expect a minimum of cleanliness - so we advise to give this accommodation a wide berth.

Nice friendly staff, tidy and convenient.
Honestly, the noise level was like sleeping on top of highway 101 and I could hear the smallest sound from the parking lot. I had to leave and stay at another hotel.

Lovely hotel close to dinosaur cave park and only a few few meters away from the coast. The manageress was very friendly. I would recommend this to anyone visiting SLO County. It was very clean and had a good nights sleep.

the property has recently had a renovation and it’s
beautiful. Its very cosy and lots of lovely furnishings.
we arrived after 7 so there was no water in our room.
The app to open the door was very handy.
The noise. There was really loud music playing until late
and then we could also fully hear the movie playing on the
tv in the room beside us. Ear plugs are supplied.
