The room was clean but there was no water pressure in the shower. There was also no ac just a fan so the room got really stuffy. The tv would freeze up.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Several issues. 1) First 5 min of arriving there, the owner told me there was only 1 vehicle allowed in the parking lot (since I had two) and already threatened me to say, "the tow trucks will be called to get the other vehicle." Mind you, my party and I just got there and was told this within 5min of checking in. 2) We parked our vehicle A in their parking lot and walked down to the beach. We came back later that night to find our car had been damaged by the car parked on our left side (in their parking lot). There were witnesses involved who reported the incident to the owners. The next day, we spoke to the owners. When asked if the owner was able to help give us more information, the female owner avoided my question and started saying, "In my 1 year and half working here, I have not seen any problems..." my wife asked her again and she said they do not have cameras and do not have any information on the person who hit our vehicle. Which would be a lie since anyone who stays there is to provide them with their license plate #. She continued to withhold information from us. Finding that she is not helpful, we walked out. 3) They claimed we were throwing water out of the tub which is causing water to leak down to their ceiling in the lower room. This is a lie, they do not have bathtubs, it’s a shower and there was no water being thrown out of the tub.

It was a nice stay. The location was a 10/10. It is a 6-minute walk from the beach, a 6-minute walk from the store, and surrounded by amazing restaurants.

Short trip to Pismo

My family took a trip for one night to Pismo. The hotel was close and near restaurants, shops, and the pier. The room was small. There was no air conditioner and it was warm in the day and early evening. My daughter asked for extra pillows, but they said only 3 per queen sized bed allowed. We didn't get the option to pay for more. Overall, the stay was fine. Next time we will most likely stay somewhere else.
