My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderfully cozy inn (Room 5). Denise the receptionist was cordial. She didn't go out of her way to make us feel welcome. But she definitely was not rude. However the owner was extremely kind, welcoming and friendly. The room was impeccably designed and modern. The grounds were well maintained. Towels were readily available. The housekeeping lady along with the gentleman I think was possibly the maintenance worker were WONDERFUL!!! . They both were absolutely ACCOMDATING AND KIND. Keep them on your staff roster. Parking was convenient. The television, microwave, and refrigerator was a great touch. My husband and I look forward to another visit soon. God bless you abundantly!

The room was small but very clean. The beds were comfortable and the manager was very friendly and helpful.

We had a great stay! I will definitely look to book at tje shell beach inn when i go to the area again. Everything was clean, staff was very polite and welcoming. I didn't hear any road noise during the night. We walked around the whole area too.

Terrible! I know what boutique inn means but this was awful. The sink was clogged (it would take a minimum of 45 minutes for the water to go down), there was an extremely dirty sponge that stunk up the whole place. A sponge is not that expensive, this place needs to offer a new sponge for each stay. There's no ice machine, it's provided by staff in a water cooler - why would anyone trust that? Who knows how that's cleaned and where the ice is coming from! There are three bowls and ALL 3 bowls were dirty and it's not like I had a new sponge to wash them. How are they still in business? No sanitary measures! Most important to me was maid service and I even called before arrival to confirm the procedure and then again when I was there. As directed, I left the maid service magnet on the door when I left and of course the room was not cleaned!!! This was the most important factor to me which is why I called and asked about it! I went for two weeknights when kids are back in school and based on the parking lot there was a total of four guests and they still couldn't accommodate me! But of course the morning I was supposed to check out, housekeeping knocks at 10am to see if I've gone, so needless to say I wouldn't stay here again and never recommend to anyone. Unfortunately this place is woman owned so I know I won't even be offered a partial refund for this inconvenience and incompetence on their part. Just don't stay there please, there are HUNDREDS of other places there!

There was nothing we didn't like and the best way to express how we feel about Shell Beach Inn - we'll be back !

Great stay! Thank you!

This boutique hotel exceeded our expectations. Heated pool with heaters at the patio tables. A sitting area outside each room. The staff was so welcoming and everything was great. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. We will be returning

Denise & Conny were wonderful hosts, with followup. Very clean pool, enjoyed the relaxation.

Great rooms and attention to detail. Very clean. Close to the beach and plenty of walkable for food and stores. Staff was very friendly!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the shell beach in. The room was very clean and super cute inside. Had lots of furniture and space to set your things. It was more expensive than we are used to but it was a great area and it was for our anniversary trip so we splurged a little and I'm so glad we did! The lady in the office checking us in was very nice. The bed and pillows were comfortable and lines were fresh. Towels were super soft! We would definitely stay here again but would book a room with a king size bed. The pool was heated and looked very inviting but unfortunately we did not utilize it. Hopefully on our next trip we will. My favorite part was all the plants on the cute patio areas :)

Very safe, quiet location. Room was clean. Walkable to a few stores and restaurants. A quick drive to downtown Pismo

Perfect for a quick stay, walkable location, small, comfortable, clean & cute.

Liked everything

Sweet and comfortable. Had everything we needed and more. This will be our new place to stay!!!

Feedback: they should have numbers near each room so parking can be close to the rooms. Thanks

nice , clean and easy in/out

Cute little inn, Beds were comfy, and very clean. Many restaurants within walking distance along with beautiful ocean views close by walls are a little fan but they offered earplugs which worked well. Only complaint is I felt a bit rushed out of my room - check out is 11 AM at 10:15. I was trying to finish getting ready and housekeeping kept knocking and wanted to know if I knew check out was at 11. Other than that, friendly staff and a great place to stay. I will be back!

We had a very cozy and comfortable stay at the Shell Beach Inn. The room fit our needs nicely and we had everything we needed. Denise was very helpful when we arrived orienting us to the property. We especially enjoyed the warm swimming pool at nighttime. It’s located off of the main highway but was still quiet at night. The hotel provided earplugs for guests. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice place

Great stay and friendly staff

It is a beautifully kept hotel and tastefully updated. One oddity was the bath/shower in rm 5, it was tilted at an angle which created a feeling of unbalance.

Love this hotel. The only thing I had a problem with was that there wasn’t anyone in the office and you cannot access the ice machine after 6pm.

What a cute beach hotel! Definitely will be back.

I liked the boutique room. Bed was incredibly comfortable. Close to the ocean/water

Great location, awesome place. 10/10 recommend

Super welcoming hostess, very accommodating and nice. Lovely decoration in the rooms

Wonderful staff. Kind of a quirky little place. Cute and just a bit odd. Would stay here again, if not the exact same room. Great location and super convenient for dining and shopping.

Location,location, location

Comfortable stay, nice boutique style rooms. Will stay again.

This is the 2nd time to stay at Shell Beach Inn and our stay was as enjoyable as the first stay! Comfortable beds, pool, friendly & helpful staff!

All good, Denise great hospitality checking us in

The Inn was a small, nice, and comfortable spot for our family during a travel basketball tournament. It was just a walk away from a nice scenic park with an overlook of the ocean. We would stay here again.
