“The cottage-style architecture channels a relaxed, beachside feel, and I think it's a smart concept. Its direct beach access via a cliff path is worth noting, too. I also appreciate its pet-friendly policies and the convenience of being close to Pismo Beach Pier and Oceano Dunes.”

The room included a fireplace, it was nice.
The room faced the highway, the traffic was loud. Old windows provided little soundproofing, it affected sleep. The hotel location is convenient, but I was disappointed.

Wonderful stay with ocean views

The room had a door to the naturally landscaped yard. I found the Adirondack chairs and fire pits very relaxing, especially with the ocean view. The bistro in the lobby offered convenient mornings. I appreciated its quiet atmosphere and the short drive to restaurants nearby.
