Room was definitely not as described online, the carpet was super dirty looking. I also didn’t get any ocean views from the hotel room and I paid extra for it. Overall the place was okay, would I stay here again? Probably not. The bathroom was old needed to be updated for sure, water pressure was awful too.

The location was excellent, staff was helpful. We enjoyed the fire pits at night and walking along the cliffs. The hotel pool and spa were nice and heated. It was cute that they had balls and treats for the dogs when we arrived. The beach below had great tide pools. The rooms themselves were just okay. The carpets (in the pet friendly room) was stained and could use replacement or deep cleaning. The room we were in was a little bit dark. Otherwise it was just fine. We didn’t spend much time in the room. We were here to enjoy Pismo.

Friendly staff at check in, with some snacks and coffee available even at 10pm. One half of the hotel is very beautiful, facing the ocean with amazing views, with access to fire pits and lounging chairs. Unfortunately, getting put in a non-ocean facing room, even a partial view room, doesn't feel worth the $200+ cost. It doesn't even feel like the same place. Without the view, and access to the view side grass area (which we had to get to by walking around the the side of the property) it feels like any other place with a hard bed, mushy pillow, and slight musky smell. Bonus star for some very cool art in the rooms though.
