This is an unusual review. We booked a suite through Expedia for my wife and I along with my 96-year old dad. The morning we were to leave, he fell ill. Unfortunately our cancelation option ended the night before. I called the hotel and since it was through an on-line booking, they couldn't do anything. We contacted Expedia and they got in touch with the hotel manager who agreed to refund our money. They were under no obligation to do that, but they did. We were so appreciative and will definitely book a room there in the future. Also my dad recovered so that was the best news of all. Thanks again and nice to see a business that has a heart!! read more

This used to be such a good place for families. Now it's run down and they are doing renovations but unfortunately didn't let anyone know about them. I booked an ocean front family pet friendly suite and once I got to the hotel they told me my room was no longer available since the renovations and they had booked me a "courtyard view" room. I didn't pay any less and they promised me I would have a space to take my dog out to go to the restroom even though the green patches they have was inside the renovation area. Unfortunately the stairs were unavailable to me and my pet so I had to carry him in elevator because he was terrified of it once we made it to the green area there's was broken glass everywhere from the renovation. There was no communication that my room would've changed, no play deck would be available, and breakfast would be at the hotel next door which is so uncomfortable. I've stayed here for family vacations for 6 years and might have to start looking for a new place unfortunately. Wish that wasn't the case. read more

Came here for a long weekend and it's a great place to stay! Plenty of parking, and you can park very close to your room, however only two electric charging stations. Wish there was more. You can bring your pets, and they let you borrow a blanket, a water and food bowl and a nice bag of treats! Our room, which was a family room with two separate rooms was closest to the freeway so a bit loud. Breakfast is very good, and there's a beautiful walk in the back that connects several hotels near the beach. If you need two separate rooms and have a dog, a great place to stay! read more

Unfortunately, our stay at the Pismo Lighthouse Suites was extremely disappointing and absolutely not worth the price. To start, I booked two rooms under one reservation--one for my husband and me and one for my in-laws. My in-laws arrived before us and were told by the receptionist that only one room was booked and that the hotel was fully booked, so they could not check in. When my in-laws asked if there was another guest with the same last name, the receptionist said no. They immediately called me, and when I spoke to her directly, she suddenly found our reservation right away. Despite this, she was rude and unhelpful and still would not allow my in-laws to check into our room. This property is overpriced for the experience. Upon arrival, we found hair on the bathroom floor, which immediately raised concerns about cleanliness. The pool is extremely small, and there were no clean towels available all weekend. We tried calling the front desk multiple times to ask about renting beach chairs--no answer. I called eight times in a row before walking down to the front desk, where I found the receptionist sitting there on his cell phone. There is no beach access, which was very disappointing. The so-called "kids play area" is completely run down and poorly maintained--furniture scattered everywhere, ping pong tables split in half, paddles thrown around. It looks nothing like what is shown online. The hotel is also extremely loud. You can hear people walking next door, above you, and all around--there is virtually no soundproofing. To top it off, our heater went out on the first night. Maintenance came at 9:00 pm and told us there was nothing they could do and no room available to move us to. Between the poor service, lack of cleanliness, misleading amenities, and constant noise, this hotel is simply not worth the price. This will be the last time I ever stay here, and I would not recommend this property to families or anyone looking for a relaxing or comfortable stay. read more

Road trip with our 3 year old toddler. We wanted a place that was a short drive away from the Bay Area for a quick get-a-way. My husband picked this hotel because it is very family friendly and I do agree. I believe all the rooms are suites - ours came with two rooms - one bed in the living room and two other beds in the back. There are two restrooms with bathtub style which we really appreciated as our toddler doesn't take showers. Two sinks and two hair dryers. Mini-fridge. It can be loud with a bunch of other families surrounding you. They have complimentary breakfast. This is our first stay with complimentary breakfast and I have to say it is a game changer with a child. Cereal, pastries, waffles, bagels, eggs, sausage, oatmeal, yogurt, tamales, fruit, etc. There are indoor and outdoor seating. Unfortunately, it was a bit foggy and cold during our short trip otherwise we should have checked out the pool (supposedly heated) and the hot tub. Short walk for beach access. You can get beach towels by the pool. We did rent a beach chair. In their emails and promotional info they said we can rent beach toys. Due to this we didn't bring our own. You need to purchase from their store. The family deck area was the reason we made reservations here - they have a small play structure, badminton, connect four, mini golf, etc. Our toddler had a blast running around. Very clean. Plenty of parking but $15/night. Overall, great stay and we will stay here again next time we come to Pismo. read more

Beautiful hotel. Breakfast; amazing. There were altered food options, from potatoes, bacon, eggs to the omelette, and a waffle machine that makes 4 small ones. Our room was small but cozy, two beds, one separated from the main living room and the other bed in the main room, with a small microwave and fridge, accommodated by a small table for two enjoy dinner. The beds were like clouds, and the room service was great. Props to the hotel and its staff! The courtroom can also entertain your kids for a while, with ping pong, tennis, a chess/checkers board, and a small minigolf course. There was also walkways to the beach behind the pool(heated) when walking to the left, or if you went to the right, you would find a gazebo to watch the baby seagulls live, and we also came around to seeing a bunny! 5/5 stars!!! Def recommended to come here. read more

First time here and well pleased with our stay! We were greeted by Safar who was so accommodating and we felt well taken care of. There were warm chocolate chip cookies at registration. Yum! Thank you Safar and Joey for the warm welcome and taking care of our needs! The hotel room was spacious, clean and perfect for the 4 of us. And very close to the beach! read more

We had a wonderful stay at Pismo Lighthouse. The suite was positively lovely. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Our partial ocean view was great and we loved our balcony. The staff was awesome and very helpful. The only drawback for us was the active children in the suite above us. From the features we saw when making our choice to stay, we knew it was a family/children friendly property. I guess we thought the children would be in school in the middle of October. read more

After a bad experience at a hotel next door. Wanted to end my trip a day early but this hotel accommodated us and our dogs. Was able to end my trip with a good night sleep and woke up to a beautiful view read more

This hotel is really great for families. We booked a partial ocean view 2 rooms suite 1 king, 2 queens with individual bathrooms for each room. Our room number was 2106. Personally, I don't think the partial ocean view is worth the extra money. The view from inside the room looking outside is that of the parking lot and wall of another hotel. You literally have to step outside into the balcony and turn left standing to get a distant view of the ocean water. You do not get a view sitting down on the patio chair. You will face the patio railing blocking any view. You have to stand the whole time looking at gray water. Also, you don't get to see the actual coastal view with sand and waves at all. Either splurge for full ocean front rooms or just get the patio view one. Check my photos out to get an idea of what I'm talking about. The plus about this room is that the bedrooms are separated with locking doors for privacy. There's also a fridge and microwave which is a must for traveling families with children. Someone's always hungry, thirsty or have leftover foods from lunch/dinners. They also have a great outdoor play area for the kids with a play structure, ping pong table, badminton court, giant chess board, giant connect fours game, Hopscotch etc. Mattress was okay. The noise level was definitely on the higher side. They provide ear plugs so that tells you a little bit about noise in this hotel. So if you're a super light sleeper this hotel will not be a good choice for you. Our family did okay here and would most likely come here again if we come with other families because of their fun outdoor activities amenities. They also have a pool and hot tub. There is a staircase used by all the adjacent hotels to access the beach as well. Kids would enjoy the beach at this location because there's a large Boulder and tide pools with warmer water for little ones. read more

The checkin experience was the most horrific I have ever experienced. I come to the front desk and there is one young lady who doesn't even acknowledge me and then when I say "hi" she tells me to give her a moment....i stand there waiting for like 5-10 minutes because she's doing some type of data entry or admin work??! (Can't that wait??!!) Then, she tells me to pay so I do and proceeds to say "you had 2 reservations right" and I'm flabbergasted cuz I have no idea what the heck she's talking about... Then she tells me that she had me pay for the room of someone with my same last name.... *roll eyes* I'm like WTF. I just gave u my ID and u can't even double check the last name and first name???!? My last name isn't common but it's not so crazy unique that you should automatically assume both are my reservation.... Then she tells me she can't fix this and she'll call me back once she talks to her manager but they I'll have to come back to pay for my room and they'll reverse the charges for the other guy's room... Then 20 min later she calls me and says everything is fixed and they charged me for my room and that I won't even see the charge for the other guy on my CC statement... Then after I hung up I check my statement and now there are TWO charges.... WTF kind of scam are they running here??! read more

Nice location and the suites look very nice as the interiors were remodeled but the flooring/ceiling space in between floors is still so thin you can constantly hear footsteps and talking from the unit above you. A great place to stay if you are in the top floor. I would avoid if you are a lite sleeper or if you are going to spend a lot of time inside the room - we had mentioned to the manager but never heard back from them so it must be a regular complaint of the property. As when we called the front desk they responded that they would tell the unit above to be quieter which made the visit even more uncomfortable which was nice that the noise was then less but I don't even think the people above us knew that we could hear everything from them below. The place is overpriced for this. Looks great, great interiors, great view, friendly staff and plenty of parking, amenities etc but it is not a three or four star suite hotel that it advertises and charges high rates for. read more

Pismo Lighthouse Suites was our destination of choice for our first family road trip to Pismo Beach. ROOM: We booked the Premium Suite 1 Bedroom King Oceanfront view. Our spacious room was on the 3rd floor facing west with an oceanfront view. There were 2 beds: 1 king bed and pull -out couch in the living room and a total of 2 full bathrooms (shower and bathtub). There is a kitchenet and a small patio to step out with a small table and 2 chairs for relaxation. Our toddler had his own space to play, run around, and sleep in a travel crib. One thing to be aware is, the AC return is in the bedroom, so it was loud to sleep to. I am a light sleeper so that didn't help. Although, the property offers ear plugs so must be something someone else has given feedback or complained about. There was also an incident with the alarm clock in the living room where we setup our toddler to sleep in his crib. I suggest housekeeping to clean and check alarm clocks, so it doesn't randomly go off in the early hours. Good thing my toddler was able to sleep through it. Phew! FOOD: There is a small shop at the front office with candy, ice cream, and basic beach essentials. Complimentary coffee and tea are available at the front office too. The complimentary breakfast is served at The Gally in the mornings. The continental breakfast varieties are waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, bagels, fruits, oatmeal, yogurt, and beverages: coffee and tea, milk, water, and juices. There are tables indoors and outdoors. PROPERTY/ AMENITIES: There is a big open deck right outside the front office for kids and families to play. The playground offers life size chess, checkers, connect four, badminton, ping pong, mini golf, a slide/ playground structure. There is a pool and a hot tub which we didn't get to use but looked was very busy in the afternoon we arrived and morning after. On the west side of the property there is a shared path along all hotel properties that leads to the beach. It's about a 15-20 minute walk. This reminded me a lot like Hawaii. It's awesome to have that, so there is no need to drive around and battle for parking. On the 3rd floor near the elevator landing, there was a swarm of flies at sunset. I wonder if the property has maintenance crew out on schedule to check or routinely take out the garbage, but I didn't see anyone. SERVICE: The service is fine and friendly. We got there around 3:15 pm and had to wait until closer to 4 pm to get our room keys. PARKING: There is covered and open parking available on site for a charge of $15/ night. I overheard this is a new thing since the change in management at the beginning of the year. A returning family seemed bummed, sadly. Overall, a roomy stay with everything we needed. I will say the rooms are outdated and the carpet feels grimy and clammy/ moist. Other than that, it was great. I do recommend bringing indoor slippers to avoid dirty feet or socks. Good thing I am used to bringing inside slippers when I travel! I do wonder if there is anything the property can offer since I'm sure many guests go to the beach and get back into the room and trek back sand. I know this is beach city, but it was frustrating in the evening to walk around our room after showering and my husband's feet and toddler's socks were dirty. We do hope to come back and spend more time here! read more

I really loved staying at this hotel! The staff is friendly, the location is perfection, and the amenities are wonderful for all ages. There's an excellent playground, a nice heated pool, and also an ocean view pretty much everywhere you look. Our suite room was great, housekeeping was kind and came every day, and there's no shortage of things to do on this property. Do yourselves a favor and check out this hotel - and don't forget to grab some Belgian waffles from the Galley during their complimentary breakfasts! read more

Pismo Lighthouse Suites - Hotels Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

First we really loved this place, It is so family friendly! We came to stay for a a few days with grandpa for an early summer vacation. We got the two room suite with one room with a king and the other with two queens. It was nice to have a door to close off the bedrooms together and we really loved that there was a bathroom in each room, so we didn't have to share. The room with a king did have the only bathtub which was a bummer cause my youngest prefers that over a shower. The rooms were really spacious, we had four of us in the two queen room and it wasn't cramped at all. The queen room doesn't have a closet but the king does. I do wish that the table with two chairs that was in the king room was set for at least four people but we made it work. Now, I know this hotel is high in price (we paid $234 a night before tax which is a good deal) and we really looked for a deal, cause I am not sure I'd pay the high summer prices . I will say the amenities and staff really make the price more worth it if you are traveling with family and aren't just there for the beach. Highlights was Kaylee at the front desk! She was amazing and so kind. She made checkin a breeze and she was working most of our stay, so anytime we went in the front she was super helpful . The only downside I would say was the breakfast. Ok, ok, I know it's free and shouldn't complain but I am not a fan of having to ask staff to plate up my food for one. The options was ok with eggs, bacon or sausage on different days, waffles, burritos, cereal, bagels, toast and yogurt but the scrambled eggs I think were made from powder and the hard boiled eggs had a weird taste, plus they were warm . The burrito they offered was one of those frozen bean and cheese burritos and it was not good. The only pastries offered was a blueberry muffin (which was so stale and just felt old) and a croissant that was prepackaged too(no fresh either). The property offers free parking, free breakfast and a fun play ground area(with games for little kids to adults). The office has games and movies to can check out (summer time they do a movie night outside for all to watch on Saturday) . There is even a little library box if you forget to bring a book for the beach. The pool isn't huge but has a great view of the ocean and a decent size hot tub put it does close at 9pm and you will need a key to get in . The have towels at the pool for you to use. If you have an electric car I did see only two charging stations. There also is a walk way that's by the pool and it takes you down to some stairs that goes to the beach. We also liked this hotel for the location, it was a little over half a mile to the main pimso area and close to the dinosaur park. read more

We usually stay at Spyglass but, given these large family size rooms, we thought that we would give this place a try. The beautiful rooms did not disappoint! We had a great time and a lovely oceanfront view. Overall, these are my thoughts on this property: Pros: -Beautifully decorated and well maintained rooms. -Very Spacious rooms, perfect for a family! TWO bathrooms in our suite! - Awesome views although we paid a premium for our ocean front suite. -Great play area for kids and nice walking trails out front. Cons: - We paid over $500/night yet they charged us for a bottle water left in our suite. Really? Our suite in Carmel-by-the-Sea was less and two complimentary waters included. They should do the same! Especially for people like us, paying a premium. - TINY hot tub! We went down to enjoy it yet it was FILLED to the max with a huge party. They had glass wine glasses & glass wine bottles IN the tub. Shouldn't people at the property be keeping an eye for this kind of thing? When I mentioned this to the front desk, the guy said you should have called us. Then proceeded to charge me for the $5 water in the room. - While the playground & ping pong table was nice The badminton court seems like a total waste of space. Who plays badminton and plays it decently? AND the life size chess too!! Not opposed to coming back but hopefully management takes some of my feedback into consideration. read more

Check in was easy. Sahar was an absolute gem. Clean spacious rooms. Delicious breakfast is included with your stay. Outdoor patio games include giant chess, corn hole, connect four plus more. And a jungle gym with slide for the kids. Short walk to Blast and Brew. Our first choice of hotels in Pismo. read more

My rating is more of a 3.5. This is the perfect hotel for families. The little activity area was so nice to have. It's a great walk to downtown or to the beach. The rooms were clean, albeit in need of some updates. The breakfast was ok, it was edible. The biggest con was that the water from faucets in the sinks and bathtubs smelled like mildew. My kids even noticed. I did not feel like we should drink the water. They comped the resort fee when I mentioned this at checkout so that was nice, but seems like a bigger / more concerning issue. Service at the desk was really friendly. We will stay here again for sure because of it being perfect for kids but the water situation was really off putting. read more

If you can, book the suite with ocean front view!! So so worth it. My boyfriend and I got the last King suite ocean front view over Thanksgiving, and we were pleasantly surprised. It is huge because it has a living room and the separate bedroom. There is a door in the hallway that separates the rooms in case you have more than two people staying in your room. There are also two full bathrooms. There was a tub, but.... let's be honest who takes baths at public hotels. I wish the chairs were tall like bar stools so that when you sit outside in the deck your eyes can have an obstructed ocean view. I understand it would be a liability issue. The towels were clean, and the whole room was spotless when we opened the door for the first time. The heating and cooling system worked well and water pressure was great. The breakfast was also good. I really liked the wafffles because they were fluffy and moldy sweet. The coffee was strong. Only downside was they ran out of forks each morning because of lots of hotel guests at one time. They refilled them but it was a frequent guess if we had to wait or not when we went to get breakfast. There was ample sitting indoor and outdoor for breakfast. Personally, the egg and meat buffet section could possibly be swapped for the location of the juice and bagel because there was always high demand for the egg and meat. It's in the corner so it gets cramped fast. There isn't a lot of space inside so understandable but just something I noticed. Parking was also easy first come first serve, and also luck of the draw if you wanted a spot closest to your room. It was $15 a day extra using QR code. Anyways, would recommend. We were able to visit Solvang and Hearst castle because of the fairly straightforward drive from the hotel. On another note, if you do not like crowds, avoiding Solvang might be better for you. Apparently it's always busy, but over the holiday it was shoulder to shoulder. read more

Every year we drive up to Pismo Beach and stay in this hotel. We always stay in building 3, which are suites overlooking the ocean. The views are amazing. Room 3210 is handicap accessible, and the first floor has fenced in patios that are popular for dog owners. The rooms have a master suite with bathroom, and a living room with another bathroom and wet bar. The rooms include breakfast, which is typical fare for this kind of hotel, not bad, but nothing special either. The hotel includes a large game area that is popular for the kids. We love the beach in Pismo, they are wide, flat and clean. Be warned, they charge for parking, something that has recently been done. Makes you feel like you are being nickel and dimed to death. Otherwise, a nice stay. read more

This is a GREAT place to stay. It is kid friendly, but also pet friendly and has rooms that face the ocean with a nice grassy area for the dogs. The people at the front desk were very courteous and helpful. If there was anything out of the ordinary at the hotel, guests were informed right away. Complimentary breakfast was nice. Free Parking. You can also walk downtown to the shops/ restaurants and Pismo Pier. It is only about a 20 min walk. Just over 1 mile. Area was great. Restaurants within a 10 minute walk on either side of the hotel. Our room had 2 bathrooms which was a very nice surprise. The hotel also had E bikes to rent. Although I ended up renting an E Bike downtown, it was nice to know that the hotel offered that as well. EXCELLENT place to stay. Highly recommended. read more

We love this hotel. When you have a kid like us it's the perfect place to stay in Pismo. This was our second time staying here and we will be baagain soon with a new guest if we can snag a good deal on a ocean view room. The breakfast is delicious , the chicken tamales are good. read more

Recently stayed here for a few days while visiting SLO. I was hesitant at first due to it being a family resort with kids running everywhere. Although there were quite a few loud kids playing in the activity area, it wasn't too bad. Upon checking in they have freshly baked complimentary cookies and coffee which were delicious. Front desk staff was friendly. We booked the 2 bedroom suite and was well worth it. There was enough space and privacy for my wife and I in one room and our older son in the second bedroom. If you get an ocean front suite you may not get the noise of playing children. The complimentary breakfast was decent. And access to the beach was a plus. Overall, this was a great find and would stay here again! read more

My first time staying here as my family is growing need more space so pulled the trigger and booked a room for my birthday weekend. Rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable not to firm and not to soft. The tub / shower combos have a big sitting edge around them. They have a court yard with a playground, huge chess / checker board and huge pieces, ping pong tables, little putting green, bat mitten court. They also have a couple bikes you can rent to ride down into downtown Pismo, it's literally right around the corner. There Pool is on the side of the property so you can see the ocean as your swimming or relaxing by the pool. Plus they gave me a free ice cream for it being my birthday. Only negative thing I can say was the complimentary breakfast could be improved some. We weren't to fond of the dry egg patty or the dry chicken tamale. Definitely would not mind staying here again read more

Pismo Lighthouse Suites is an amazing hotel for families. Their family suite-style rooms are a lifesaver. Let me tell you why I enjoyed my time with PLS. 1. Book directly through their site and before you do that, sign up for their emails. Wait about 20 mins for their promo code. It is the cheapest rate compared to anything listed on Kayak. It is super affordable this way. 2. There is a play area specifically for kids with a spongey foam floor. Check out the photos on their websites. 3. The view! OMG! I can't believe I can just walk out and see the beautiful view. 4. The trail to the stairs to get down to the beach is very close. 5. Included breakfast from 7am to 10am 6. Heated POOL 7. Their small gift shop area is filled with stuff you actually need when you forget things at home like goggles. 8. ALL their suite-style rooms have 2 full bathrooms. 9. There is a door that can be shut to separate the two rooms if needed. 10. Wifi is included 11. Mini fridge and microwave 12. 24/7 Coffee and Hot Coco in the lobby area 13. Free parking. 14. Comfy beds. 15. Very convenient location to drive downtown. 16. The staff is friendly and amazing. 17. A balcony to soak up the nice ocean breeze. 18. Overall this hotel is a parent's dream and every kid's fantasy vacation. read more

I stayed here for the long weekend and loved every minute of it. Pros: Perfect location, walking to the beach and dinosaur park (15-20 min) Heated pool with a view of the ocean Friendly staff Cookies and coffee at the front desk Amazing playground structure on the property, great if you have kids Free parking Spacious rooms/suites Cons: Breakfast was ok, nothing great. Chrome cast on TV didn't work and they have limited stations so I was google I got my iPad to watch hbo or Netflix in the night It's pricy especially for holiday weekends Overall, I loved staying here and am already planning another trip in the summer. The best part was the location and amenities especially if you are traveling with kids. read more

It was ok! I guess I am spoiled by Seacrest down the way. It just doesn't feel clean here to me. The experience just fell flat for me. I think they need to have the rooms a little fresher and smelled musty to me. The spa was something I was looking forward to and it was yellowish and Luke warm. This was an ok experience. Breakfast was nice and the play deck was cute for the kids. Probably won't be coming back tho read more

Stayed in ocean view suite on our way up Coast. Great view The property is dirty has not been kept up The suites are dated and Ac smelled horrible We asked for early check-in multiple times and we arrived after 4pm only to have to wait with 2 year old until after 6pm for our room. They did credit a few items but didn't make up for bad experience. Would not stay here again read more

Stayed for two nights, 9/1/20 & 9/2/20, yes, during Covid. Everyone working there was very nice and always wearing masks. They had hand sanitizer set up in different locations too. Our room was 2 queens with two bathrooms which was very nice. Cute place overlooking the ocean. A million pelicans around so if you love pelicans, this place is for you! There's a huge play area for the kids (or adults) that the 4 year old with us loved! They are dog friendly. $50 a night. It's on a hotel row so about 6 hotels in a row and a couple with restaurants. You have to drive if you want to be near the pier and the main strip. I've got zero complaints. :) read more

Best hotel for families. We stayed in a two bedroom family suite and it was worth every penny. At the end of a long day of activities it was nice for the kids to have their own space. The play deck was a huge hit, our kids range from 3-13 and there was something for everyone. The location was another selling point. We walked to dinner two nights and with the downtown area a quick 5 minute drive, it couldn't have been more convenient. The only thing I believe can be improved is the breakfast they offer. Mystery eggs and tamales is an odd choice for a family Continental breakfast. Maybe something like breakfast burritos or even bagels would be better. We hope to come back again next year. So many great memories made. read more

Highly recommend this establishment. Wonderful activities for kids along with free breakfast and parking was a plus. The 2 bedroom 2 bath unit was plenty spacious for our family of 5. Came complete with mini fridge and microwave. Kids enjoyed pool & spa even with the cold temps outside. A quick walk across the parking lot leads you to the cliff at the edge of the ocean with beautiful views and a walking trail. Front desk were very friendly and provided free coffee/tea/hot chocolate and cookies all day. Ice cream, treats, wine, beer and other beach goodies available for purchase in the office as well. Easy walk to the beach and even the pier. Room was clean and well equipped, we look forward to visiting again in the future. read more

We just spent a long weekend here and LOVED it! I was worried about the noise as other Yelpers complained but it wasn't bad. Yes we heard our neighbors from time to time, but it wasn't "they're in the same room as us" bad. Due to COVID, daily housekeeping is not available but you can easily contact the front office for supplies. Daily breakfast was not just your basic continental breakfast. Tamales, breakfast sausage, waffles, eggs, fruit and more! Plus coffee, tea and hot water is available all day in the lobby. Individually wrapped cookies are also available in the afternoons which my kids and nieces enjoyed! The hotel is dog and kid friendly which our 2 dogs and 3 kids loved. Our dog friendly suite had an ocean view and patio with access to grass and a walking path. Dogs are not allowed in the pool area, which is small, or playground but there are tables nearby both areas. The hotel is just a 3minute walk to the stairs which gives you Beach access! It's also a 15min walk or quick jog to downtown, pier, etc. read more

So I was here on work. Lucky for me, I was put in the best hotel in Pismo beach. First impressions, AMAZING! They have all these extra curricular activities for the family. Playground, giant connect four, badminton, merry go-round, giant checkers/chess. Did I mention cookies and coffee in the lobby? These yummies for free. Check in was fast. I was greeted by a super duper lady. My room was not ready but I had co-workers at the pool. The super duper hostess provided me a pool key. I think I was at the pool for less than an hour when I got the call my room was ready. Time to check out the room. My room was breathtaking. I had my own room with full bathroom and shower. Then there was a living room with pull out couch, microwave, mini fridge, dining table and full bathroom with stand up shower. This is what I call a suite. It's gets better, I have a balcony with a full view of the ocean. Is this even real? This hotel provides free hot breakfast which included eggs, sausages, waffles and get this tamales. One would say hotel tamales would suck but I think my Aunt Maria was in the back making these beauties because they were GOOD! To access the beach, you walk the path that takes you along all the hotels and to a stairway that leads to the beach. A short walk will take you to all the shops and the pier. Let's talk about the staff. Everyone and I mean everyone were awesome. I have nothing but good stuff to say about the staff. Everyone was friendly and nice. There pool was heated and decently sized. The hot tub was a wee bit small. This place also has rental bikes and boards games to make it a fun family night. I am serious when I say I can't say enough about this place. Look at the pictures. I can't wait to return. I had fun. My family had fun. We all had FUN. read more

After covid my husband was really hesitant to stay in hotels for awhile. He was really nervous about the cleanliness of the place and our kids getting sick. I was talking to a family member about it and she suggested this hotel. So we took a chance and it met our expectations. We were both really happy with how well they clean everything here. On our last visit we witnessed them bringing out the games and wiping everything down. I've also saw them wipe down the elevators. Our rooms are always clean and very spacious. My boys love the amenities here. Free hot chocolate and cookies daily. They have a play area with a slide for the toddlers. For the bigger kids at heart they have cornhole, chess, ping pong and connect four. There is also a little swimming pool that is heated. I like that the swimming area stays open pretty late too. They have breakfast which consists of the basics like oatmeal, bagels, eggs, waffles, bacon and sausage. One time they had tamales and they actually weren't bad at all. My reason for 4 stars instead of 5 because my room on the last visit was to noisy. We usually get an ocean view. Which consists of a living room and its own separate bedroom. These rooms are really spacious and the best in my opinion. This last stay we were towards the back of the hotel and we could hear the cars driving by at night. I did not like it at all and the room felt smaller. On the brighter side this hotel does offer perks if you are celebrating a birthday. For my son's birthday they gave him a complimentary kids bag. Inside was a bunch of goodies like candy, sunglasses, beach ball, toys and a free ice cream. He really loved it. A great hotel for families and not to far from the pier. read more

We've been to many hotels in Pismo and can't believe we have not yet stayed here until this past weekend! Now that we are a family of four. Well cover including our doggy this was a perfect stay for us! Rooms Are super spacious, I love that there are two seperate rooms with a door to give some privacy and also two full bathrooms. We booked the ocean front room because floor levels rooms are great for our dog we can just walk them out no need for stairs. Beautiful view of the ocean, showers great water pressure and rooms were very clean. Every time we called for housekeeping they service was super quick. And friendliness of the staff was very welcoming. Kids loved the top deck with many activities for them to do to keep busy for at least an hour. Pool was heated and decent size, the hot tub was small and always full so I didn't get to use but the kids did and of course loved it. Continental breakfast always a plus with little ones, eat in your pajamas so easy and selections were great (waffles, eggs, potatoes, sausage, bagels, Cereals) thanks for a great Stay. The only downfall were the sunsets from our room, although we got the Oceanfront room the way the building is positioned you don't really get the best view at sunset, one of my favorite things to do is watch the sunset from our room when on vacations. But I know not much can be done for that. read more

This place was amazing start to finish. I brought my daughter and her friends here for her 12 birthday and got one of their large suites. They let us check in early, the rooms were spacious and clean, two separate rooms with bathrooms and doors connected as one large room. The rooms were clean with extra clean linen and pillows. They greeted us with a birthday bag for my daughter with a cute little gift. They gave the girls hot coco after they got out of the pool. The staff was extremely sweet and helpful. Would definitely recommend read more
