Staff member was kind and welcoming, Martin helps me to feel at home . Room was clean but I felt disappointed about the location in the hotel. Worst place to be (805) Even though I paid for a room with ocean view, it was not at all. Hotel was not full occupied and there were empty rooms with better location. I will consider going back if I can get a good deal.

8/10 Very good

We love the beautiful view! We love that! We booked the ocean view and it was beautiful! However, the breakfast could have been a lot better for a place like this and the price you pay! Maybe like fresh eggs, not just boiled, oatmeal where you have actually fresh fruit like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries,.. Bacon.. It should have been much better than this

The grounds and the views are great. The rooms are very clean. There were a good number of choices for breakfast. I love oatmeal for breakfast and it was thick and tasty. Lots of places to walk and a nice trail and stairs to the beach. The staff were all very friendly. I’ve stayed there several times now and i plan to return on my next trip to Pismo.
