    Ocean views
    Christine B.

    This was our first time staying at SeaCrest Ocean Front Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The ocean views from main entrance and pool were so beautiful. Having direct ocean access via stairs was so helpful. Upon return, we had a nice rinse off area and restrooms accessible to hotel guests. The actual rooms were okay. Restrooms need some updating. Otherwise, very nice property. Very family friendly.

    Location is ideal with beach access and bed are comfortable. When we first walked in we noticed wrappers still on the couch left behind from previous guest and noticeable dust and sand on both couch and shower. In the evening we noticed the water pressure on the bathroom sink was LOW and smell of cigarettes lingering throughout the room. After notifying what apparently was the manager, she didn't seem to care and even questioned why we didn't tell them right at check in... her only answer was sending someone to our room with an air freshener. Overall happy with location and room but disappointed with the lack of cleaning and customer service. Expect to stay with whatever situation you walk into during your stay. * updating - we realized the smell of cigarette is coming In from the AC vents or window (even tho they are closed?) since everyone is smoking by the dumpster. It's odd since we are on the 4th floor quiet a ways from it. My suggestion would be asking to not be placed in the North tower by the adjacent hotel (this is our location and our room smells like cigarettes when we walk in). Either way it's annoying.

    We decided to stay here and it was absolutely beautiful. Our room was overlooking the beach. We saw the beautiful sunset from our room. We were able to go outside and there was lots of beautiful sitting very clean. Absolutely loved it when we checked in. Customer service was a little iffy the girl working the desk was new. She wasn't very hospitable. She was kind of rude, but we went ahead checked in and got our room. We're able to park close we're able to use the little strollers they have to carry our things up. We were on the third floor. The room was very pretty very clean. Beds were comfortable ,water pressure in the shower was not too great. The toilet did plug up, but they came and fixed it pretty fast overall it was a great Stay a good price for by the beach We were able to get a late check out for a fee I would definitely stay here again

    My fiancée booked us an signature deluxe king suite for my birthday and Adrian at the front desk was such a pleasure! The room was beyond gorgeous with stellar views, and they gave us a complimentary bottle of wine and cute birthday card! I enjoyed the room with the robes as well as the lobby cookies, adults only hot tub, the beach downstairs, DELICIOUS BREAKFAST, and got to interact with some cool peps! Seacrest was beyond gorgeous/stunning/fantastic and amazing employees all around!! P.S. you can schedule housekeeping downstairs (the front desk girl let us know the times available to clean our room and to me it felt beyond luxurious amenity to not disrupt our day)

    Overall, this hotel has a lot going for it, but the customer service completely changed my experience. The positives first: the property itself is really nice. We stayed in a first-floor ocean view room since we had a service animal, and the room size was great. The grounds are well-kept, there's convenient beach access, and I loved that they have an adults-only hot tub--that was a nice touch. The person who checked us in was also very kind and welcoming, which set a great first impression. Unfortunately, things went downhill that night. Our upstairs neighbors were stomping loudly for hours. Around 8 PM, I called the front desk to let them know, and I was told they would reach out to the room--but nothing changed. By 10 PM, the noise was still going, so I called again. This time, instead of resolving the issue, I felt like we were being questioned. We were told the guests upstairs said they were already in bed, which didn't line up with what we were clearly hearing. The situation was frustrating enough that I tried to get their attention by tapping on the ceiling, which then got turned back on us as a complaint. When we asked about switching rooms, we were told the hotel was sold out and we'd have to wait until the next day--which I understand--but the way it was handled by the manager was disappointing. There was no apology, no empathy, and the tone came off dismissive and rude, which made the situation worse. I really wanted to love this place because the location and property are great, but customer service matters, especially when issues come up. Because of that experience, I'd think twice about staying here again.

    Great rooms, multiple hotubs, very clean grounds . Free breakfast doesn't hurt . This place was relaxing and fun. Recommended for families

    DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!!!!! Our 8 month old baby girl was admitted to the hospital Thursday night due to her fighting 3 serious viruses. We had plans of taking a little family vacation to Pismo. We were suppose to stay at Seacrest Oceanfront Hotel Pismo Beach. Unfortunately circumstances changed that were out of control and had to cancel our reservation last minute. We tried getting a refund or credit, however this hotel shows zero compassion towards this situation. The assistant manger, Heidi denied the refund. We've been having to take time away from caring for our 8 month old baby at bedside to call this hotel and we dont even get a call back!!! We called today and spoke with front desk supervisor and again, they showed no empathy to the situation. It's really disappointing that companies/management have no humanity. I advise you to not book with this hotel.

    OMG Adrian is THEE BEST! He gave us the best anniversary gift ever by giving us such a wonderful room with an ocean view. Thank you for making our anniversary a memorable one. The facility and grounds are just to die for! I can't wait to spend the next 5 days here. We stayed in room 311 and would def recommend it.

    Well, we found ourselves back at the SeaCrest for a family trip. Just like our previous stay here, this was quite the experience. We spent our days walking down on the beach and into town, and our evenings in the hot tubs. It was a bit busier this time around likely due to Spring Break, but it didn't feel overly packed. Pismo and SeaCrest will likely be a family tradition for us, for years to come!

    Always love coming to Pismo Beach! I've stayed at SeaCrest before but this time we stayed in the ocean-front room, so our view was amazing. It was definitely really relaxing as there's fire pits outside as well as swimming pool/jacuzzi, bean bag toss, and direct access to the beach. I also really appreciated the free ice cream and $10 credit as we booked that hotel to celebrate my dad's birthday this past weekend. There were also complimentary cookies every couple of hours but they quickly get snatched up. It's a very dreamy stay for sure- and for the price you pay, it's very worth. However, I did have some things that made the stay not as memorable, specifically the room itself. The outlets closest to our bed didn't work, the shower valve took really long for the water to heat up/(I think it was installed incorrectly as the OFF sign was upside down?), and the hot water tasted really bad, worse than tap water. Complimentary breakfast was also alright- the food was decent for a hotel but they ran out of orange juice in two hours. Overall, I enjoyed the stay as it was very restful and relaxing with the ocean views, but I think my experience at ShoreCliff hotel was a tad better.

    Dawn was helpful with the hotel phone not working and an issue with new lightbulb. Juan from maintenance was there and was able to fix. Check out at 8am was worse than check in, Kimberly had no customer service skill, bad attitude, so early ? No thanks for staying? Not sure why front office would hire such a sour attitude staff. Hire more Dawns !

    Booked the deluxe double king room with a beautiful Victoria window seating area, and it was absolutely worth it. The hotel offers direct access to the beach along with nearby hiking trails, which made our stay active and refreshing. The fire pits and hot pool were such cozy touches, especially in the evenings. Everything felt safe and well taken care of, and the complimentary breakfast was a great start to each day. If you're looking for a relaxing yet adventure-friendly stay in San Luis Obispo, SeaCrest checks all the boxes!

    Is there a restaurant?

    There is a restaurant called Blast and Brew with pub style food on the property.

    Does the hotel have a gym?

    No, there isn't a gym.

    We're bringing our dog with us. Has anyone stayed in a dog friendly room? How is the patio (set up and privacy)? How is the view from the patio. The patio looks set back from the ocean quite a bit. I really appreciate any information

    When is check in and check out?

    Check in 4pm. Check out 11am. Late Check out extra $40 for 2pm late Check out.

    Is there an on site bar or restaurant? Any food/drink service at the pool area?

    Not onsite restaurant, but in the same parking lots there's a restaurant ( burgers & brews I believe) we got food to go- nice selection & decent food. They will bring wine/beer to your room - but no poolside service that I saw. Wine was local &… 

    I booked a queen deluxe, what's the difference from that to a regular queen duo?

    The Deluxe ocean front has a full view of ocean, not over looking pool area. Coastal view is only partial view. We stayed in a deluxe ocean front and it was wonderful.

    Is the pool and outdoor dining available now?

    Yes, we were there on New Year's the pool was open and outdoor dining was open in Pismo.

    Does this hotel offer room service?

    They do not offer pre covid type room services at this time. They will deliver a bottle of champagne or wine to your room. Housekeeping isn't a daily occurrence. Only when you checkin/checkout or ask if you can have clean towels or service… 

    Is there a on-site restaurant/bar in the hotel overlooking the sea? Apart from the Willow restaurant that is next to it?

    No but when we stayed there you could get the Willow food delivered at sit outside. There's a really good restaurant 5 min walk away though that you can eat at and look out over the ocean and watch the pelicans.

    How is the WiFi? Is it strong enough for zoom calls?

    It is. My daughter did one of her online classes via Zoom in the hotel room.

    Are all the rooms air conditioned?

    I heard this place is pet friendly. Has anyone traveled with dogs? Is there much to do in the area if I bring my dog?

    This is an extremely friendly hotel towards dogs. Lots of people had them while I was there. The dogs can go directly onto the beach on a leash.

    Are the rooms roomy? Does the bathrooms have stand alone shower? And is the buffet breakfast a free edition. Or is there a cost. Someone said walking into town was 5 minutes another reviewer say it it was 20 minutes.

    The room we stayed in was huge, and it had a stand alone shower in the bathroom. We booked the Signature Deluxe King room with ocean view, though, so not sure how it compares to the other rooms. The buffet breakfast, located just on the other side… 

    Is this a good place for kids? I have a 14month old with a stroller, can we make it to the beach with the stroller?

    Hello Stephanie yes this is a great place for kids I love the way you set up if you can get an Oceanfront room they have a wonderful walkway for strollers they have an elevator they make homemade chocolate chip cookies every day several times a day… 

    How is the parking there?

I was initially undecided between a few different options, but ultimately decided to stay at Beachcomber Inn. I made a reservation from Friday to Sunday. I had already received an email confirming that check-in would be at 4:00 PM on Friday. However, around 9:00 AM that same morning, I received a phone call informing me that no one had stayed in the room the night before, and that we were welcome to check in at any time without waiting until 4:00 PM. As we all know, most hotels charge extra fees for early check-in or late check-out, so receiving such a generous offer without even asking was truly surprising and very much appreciated. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, we were only able to arrive around 6:00 PM. When we got there, I learned that the person who had called me was the owner, Johnny. We had the chance to meet him in person--he is incredibly friendly, talkative, and genuinely welcoming. He personally showed us around our room, which made the experience even more special. The location of the hotel is outstanding. It's just about a block and a half away from the busy center of Pismo Beach, yet it is remarkably quiet. We had a very peaceful night's sleep, and the room temperature was perfect. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided--there was a coffee machine with plenty of coffee pods, and the bathroom was fully stocked with essentials like shampoo and shower products. The room itself was spotless and in excellent condition. Additionally, the nearby beaches are only about a 10-minute drive away. We even went to the sand dunes and rode ATVs, which was an incredibly fun experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Pismo Beach. Check-out on Sunday was scheduled for 12:00 PM, but once again, Johnny reached out to let us know that no one was checking in after us. He kindly offered that we could check out anytime up until 6:00 PM if we wished. Just like the early check-in, this thoughtful gesture--offered without us even asking--was both surprising and deeply appreciated. He could have easily charged for this, but it was clear from the moment we met him that his priority is simply to provide excellent service and ensure his guests feel comfortable and happy during their stay. We would absolutely recommend staying at Beachcomber Inn when visiting Pismo Beach, and if you have the chance, meeting Johnny in person is truly a pleasure. From now on, we know that every time we visit Pismo Beach, we will choose to stay at this hotel without hesitation. Through this review, we would like to thank him once again and hope to see him again very soon.

We stayed in the Courtyard and easy access to the car and games area. I noticed the playground was gone and was a bummer. For breakfast you have to cross the bridge and go to the other hotel to eat. It was a bit crowded in the morning. Food was decent with waffles you can make yourself, chicken sausage, bacon, oatmeal, fruit, eggs, toast, and bagels. The pool was nice and now 2 heated pools you can use and they have pool towels and a hot tub. The beach is about 10 minutes away and you have to walk down some steep stairs but not bad. I love the suites so we would stay again but probably go mid week so prices are lower.

Because of the construction the checkin desk is just inside the door adjacent to the tiny elevator. I was standing at the check-in desk and it is so close to the automatic doors that they just stayed open and it was cold outside. The luggage carts need to be updated. This sound trivial but they are so small, old/worn and don't have hook at the top to hang anything which would have helped given how small they are. Once we checked in I asked about a luggage cart as there were none to be found and the check-in clerk was kind enough to radio the cleaning staff to see if anyone left a cart in a hallway or in their room when they checked-out (I was told it happens). Shortly thereafter a member of staff came running by me in the lobby and took the elevator upstairs. Little did I know it was to get me a luggage cart that was found my cleaning staff. I was grateful for the effort and made my way to the room. I paid for a Deluxe Pier & Ocean View. I would suggest you get an Ocean View and skip the Pier View. Our room was the farthest most away from the ocean front of the hotel and so I had a good view of the neighboring hotel and could hear the children playing in the pool...not very relaxing and was louder than the ocean waves. The other complaint was that on the 2nd floor, where my room was located, my door was immediately next to the breezeway or walkway that is completely open to the breakfast area below so each morning I heard people in the breakfast area. I saw a door that could be shut to separte the walkway from the guestrooms but it was open for my entire visit. The elevators are extremely small and only 1 luggage cart and 2 people would fit. It is very old, slow and needs to be replaced. While I didn't use it the pool is heated and kept very clean. They offer electric bikes for rent with the first hour free. For the cost of this hotel I would have expected updated rooms or a lower price. I am looking forward to when the construction is complete as I would like to check out the new rooms.

My most recent stay was by far the worst experience I've had here. During our stay, we had to move three times and stayed in three different rooms due to ongoing maintenance issues. Each room presented significant problems. We experienced non-functioning air conditioning, leaving the rooms uncomfortably warm. Other rooms had televisions that did not work, refrigerators that were out of service, and even extension cords running throughout the room just to power basic amenities. It was clear that many of the remodeled rooms were not fully ready for guests. What was even more concerning was that several staff members openly acknowledged these issues, expressing frustration that many of the newly remodeled rooms still had major problems and were being rented despite not being fully operational. While the front-line employees did their best to assist, they were placed in a very difficult position. When we asked to speak with the manager, Barbara, regarding our concerns, we were repeatedly told she would follow up. Unfortunately, she never did. Being ignored after experiencing so many issues made the situation even more frustrating and showed a lack of concern for guest satisfaction. The problems didn't stop there. While using the pool, there were no towels available, and we had to wait nearly an hour for clean towels because the hotel's dryer wasn't working. This was yet another example of poor planning and ongoing maintenance problems affecting the guest experience. It's disappointing because this hotel was once one of my preferred places to stay. After being a repeat guest for many visits, I expected much better. Instead, the last two stays have been filled with inconvenience, constant room changes, broken amenities, and poor management communication. I sincerely hope the hotel addresses these maintenance issues, ensures rooms are fully functional before assigning them to guests, and improves management's responsiveness. Until then, I cannot recommend staying here based on my recent experiences.

    Beautiful Inn By the Sea with amazing views. We had a fantastic stay for our anniversary. The…read morefireplaces are so nice to sit at anytime of the day but especially at night. The only negatives are the outdated pool area and the shower/bathroom could use an update. Would definitely stay here again and recommend others to stay here as well.

The bed was super comfortable, the room was nice, and we loved having an ocean view. Waking up to that view every morning was definitely one of the highlights. One of my favorite things was the walking path along the bluff right behind the hotel. It was perfect for taking a morning or evening stroll while enjoying the ocean. The hotel is also only about a 10-minute walk to the Pismo Beach Pier and downtown, so it was nice to be close enough to walk without feeling like you were right in the middle of all the crowds. Parking was easy, the shower was great, and the TV and room overall made it feel like a comfortable place to come back to after exploring. I'd also definitely recommend sitting by one of the fire pits if you get the chance--it was one of our favorite parts of the trip! If you're going with a bigger group, I'd suggest bringing your own s'mores since the kits sold at the hotel can add up. But if it's just a couple of people, the kit is a fun little treat and worth it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely stay here again. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Pismo Beach!

    Located right on the beach is the SeaVenture! My wife and I have been to the restaurant, but wanted…read moreto have a little one night, getaway, staycation. We chose ocean front SeaVenture. This Boutique hotel has 50 something rooms, a good restaurant/bar and ocean facing balconies with Hot Tubs! This three story hotel is unique because first level is the parking garage, with the front desk through glass doors in the back. They have a little boutique and sitting area, with access to the beach. Second floor is rooms and third floor is the restaurant. The room was clean, great size and great view! The only negatives were it is a little on the older side, but still nice. And the Hot Tube was really shallow, you sit by having your feet straight out and you're on the bottom. Due to being so low, while you're in it, you can't see the ocean. The service in the hotel was good, no complaints. *Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place to anybody if they was to fully take in Pismo Beach*

The location is truly unmatched -- right on the sand with incredible sunset views. It felt like the perfect coastal getaway. The room was clean, well maintained, and very reasonably priced for what you get. The bed was comfortable (I personally prefer something a little firmer, but that's just preference). The highlight was definitely soaking in the hot tub while listening to the waves -- such a relaxing experience. The front desk staff was fantastic -- friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. My only two minor complaints: the hot tub wasn't quite as deep as I personally would have liked, and our room was directly below the restaurant bar area on the third floor. In the mornings, we could hear dishes and some banging as they were setting up for the day, which woke us up earlier than we planned. If you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend requesting a room on the end of the hotel or away from the restaurant area. Overall, we would absolutely stay again -- the view and location are hard to beat.
