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.
2.6
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.
2.6
Room was dirty paw print on sheets floor was sandy and had dust and when walking on it your feet turned black. Mold in the bathroom and paint was chipped. Staff was friendly and they did give me a broom overall just needs improvement and better cleaning
2.6
Check in is 3pm, yet my room wasn’t ready until 430pm. No sorry, nothing for the inconvenience
2.6
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.
2.6
For the price it was nice 2 blocks from the beach. See the Beach from the hotel. Nice area quiet hotel
2.6
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.
2.6
Great location for the price.
2.6
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.
2.6
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.
2.6
Love the location of this property...we can walk everywhere in Pismo. Just wish they had king-size beds.
2.6
Quiet very clean. Convenient dining. Great location.
2.6
Close to beach and very nice staff. Will stay again
2.6
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.
2.6
The smoke detector is missing and the towel rack and toilet paper rack are missing or removed but the front desk manager is nice
2.6
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
2.6
Made a reservation and when i got to the motel the office was locked and nobody was there. Waitedc for almost two hours and still nobody showed up
2.6
They charged 15 extra for each people and he tried opening the door while we were sleeping
2.6
Great people running this place, beds were comfy and clean and rooms were safe. No frills at all.. no coffee maker, no iron or hair dryer. Location is great.
2.6
We arrived and the man at the counter charged us $15 more on top of our prepaid stay he said it was a cleaning fee. This was not disclosed on Expedia. Our room was very basic with old India looking sheets and a flat sheet. Bed was hard as a rock. The bathroom did not have any bath towels so we had to ask for some on arrival. We had about 1/4 of a toilet paper roll in the entire room. We had to ask for more toilet paper as well. Within an hour of arriving, we had the weird front counter man knock at our door. He wanted to show us how to operate the tv on the wall. This man is a penny pincher and if you’re looking for a super cheap basic room, this is the place to stay. We did not feel safe at all. I would never stay here again.
2.6
Was surprised with a “hotel fee” that needed to be paid to the desk person upon arrival - on top of the room & tax fees we paid thru the Hotels.com app. I’ve used Hotels.com for approx 20 years & have never had to pay a “hotel fee”. Once in our room, rug was VERY stained & the bathroom door had a hole kicked in it. Walls were thin & most of TV channels were “audio only”. will not stay here again.
2.6
The reception guy was very helpful.
2.6
The nanager is very nice. We have srated 3 times and will continue to book with them in the future. The only down part is there was no cable.
2.6
All was good. Slat missing in front window so privacy was not great but all in all. Ok place to stay
2.6
Room wasn’t ready at 3 had to sit n my car and wait and ice machine was broken and shower head was filled with soap scum
2.6
Close to shopping and restaurants.
2.6
The hotel mgr was very accommodating allowing us to check in early and gave us his personal parking space. 👍
The pool was closed for repair, there was no continental breakfast and there were cigarette buds and ashes in the nightstand drawers. No screen on the bathroom window which was open. 👎

Unable to check in or reach hotel
Manager via number listed. Had to book another hotel.

Don the manager is an amazing man. Goes out of his way to make your stay perfect.
Newly remodeled rooms with A/C
Perfect location!!
2.6
It was a decent place to stay in for the price. Neighbors were quiet, and there was a little dog park right behind our room which was nice. It’s hard to find a place that takes pets. The staff was friendly and courteous. Plus, we enjoyed being within 2 minutes of the beach and restaurants.
2.6
Late check in because their house cleaner quit in spot so room wasn’t ready at 3:00 check in time
Couldn’t sleep. Upstairs was noisy, running around noises, had to finally call.
2.6
Clean, friendly and convenient
2.6
I was disappointed because property manager tried to run my credit card earlier before my checkin time. When I specifically asked to pay at property. I had to pull over several times before arriving to Pismo to give him my card number. Which my bank declined because they thought it was fraud. I had to make a new reservation and cancel my old one with Expedia. Then parking was limited because he was letting other people that were not staying at hotel pay to park there cars there. So there was no parking for customer with reservation. No smoke alarm and no safety latch in room.
2.6
Will go again.
2.6
Friendly staff. The place was just old and worn. We didn’t have a tv remote and didn’t bother to ask for one since we were only staying the night. The toilet seats were torn and the shower curtains were too short. It fell above the tub so all the water would spray out under the curtains into the floor when you showered. The towels were all stained as well. Kind of hard to fell comfortable using the towels. I stayed with my hubby and toddler. My toddler is at a weird stage where he doesn’t like dirty. He kept complaining his feet were dirty and had particles on it when he climbed into bed. Haha.
2.6
No tp in the room

Please someone answer my email or call me. I stayed with a couple of friends of mine and both of our credit cards were charged for the stay. She paid in full prior to giving her the room number and key card. They got there first and when i checked my credit card last week, there was a charge on my card as well and i already paid her for my half. Please issue a refund to my card… i don’t understand why this happened. Your phone number isn’t working and no one is responding to my email

the room is set up for disable people, not very comfortable
for people that are not disable
