You can walk all along the cliffs past several hotels and walk down stairs to the beach. This is looking back to the hotel.
Christa R.

Stayed at the Shore Cliff Hotel for the weekend and unfortunately, the hotel construction is still in progress and is now estimated to be completed in May of this year. 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.

Hotel from the cliff edge
Had R.

Note, yes there is construction going until May 26, but other than the reception being moved our stay was not inconvenienced in any way. Great location, wonderful breakfast selection, spacious rooms, very quiet wall mounted aircon/heater. Clean rooms. Most of the rooms either face the cliff and ocean or are at an angle so you can see the ocean from your window and balcony. Great location for cliff walk and stairs down to the beach. Only one area for improvement, add timers for the gas firepits, as they use tanked propane and when we came to the 3 fire pits at night to use them, folks just left them on high and walked off.. so all fire pits were empty. Front desk said they would send maintenance to refill them, but at that point we just went back to the room. Short walk to some great restaurants.

Extension cords to keep the fridge working.

I have stayed at this hotel approximately 10 times over the years, and unfortunately, my last two visits have been extremely disappointing. 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.

Sweet sentiment the hotel did for us without us asking. We were celebrating 20th anniversary.

I truly have a mixed review as there were some really good aspects to our one night stay. Firstly, the booking process and staff were amazing. I left a note during booking that we were celebrating our 20th anniversary and they left us a very nice And sweet surprise along with sparkling cider! So thoughtful! The room was clean, bathroom was nice and big but the shower was small with an outdated bathtub and couldn't figure out how to get the water a comfortable temp. For some reason there is an awful smell at this hotel, not in our room thankfully but the property smelled like animal urine. We couldn't figure it out, not sure if it's the gulley right next door or what but it was hard to get used to. We did go to the beach below the property and could smell the smell there so I truly don't think it's the hotel but just an unfortunate problem in that spot. We tried laying out by the north pool as it was so pretty but we were swarmed by flies so we moved to the south pool, much better but still somewhat of a fly problem which made it challenging to enjoy ourselves. I wanted to like this place but I would not go back due to smell and flies.

The smell outside from the pelican poop is horrendous, we couldn't enjoy our balcony or the pool. It's not a resort, it's a made over motel. The rooms are clean and updated but the outside is not.

We stood at the Pacific Point Resort. The room we stood in was renovated. If you are a light sleeper be aware that the seagulls and pelicans are very loud it was difficult to get sleep. The grounds are dirty with bird feces and it smells.

Amazing view from our balcony.

We decided to visit Pismo Beach to escape the heat for a few days. Pacific Point was an amazing find. Absolutely beautiful resort, very clean, nice amenities, friendly staff, and they go the extra mile.

Despite it being in the middle of a renovation, I would give this place 10 stars if I could!!! Johnny was managing our front desk & he was absolutely wonderful!!! Joked with us, very friendly, & he handled any situation that arose!!! U guys r lucky 2 have such a wonderful front desk person!!! Our room was a double queen size room. Bathroom was spacious, the only thing I wish we had was a shower instead of a shower/tub. No carpet which I love. My bed was a little 2 soft 4 my liking, but I still slept well. Love, love, love that we had a balcony & the view-WOW!!!! We got a view of the pool & the ocean!!! Every morning, I made a cup of coffee, slipped on my flip flops, pulled on my zipped up hoody & sat on the balcony doing my Yelp reviews. Sooo peaceful & relaxing!!! The have a breakfast area, which we didn't have, but boy did it smell good!!! There's a nice walk way along the cliff & there's a gazebo 2 take pics from!!! Pool area was great & I enjoyed the jacuzzi!!! We also enjoyed watching the seagulls dropping clams 2 break them open so they could eat them!!! I would definitely stay here again & I can't wait 2 see it when the renovations r done!!!!

Onsite gazebo

Our room was an Oceanfront King at the former Shore Cliff. The view is unmatched. The new renovations are very thoughtful and well done. There are plenty of places to store your bags, which is a problem at almost every other hotel we've stayed in. There are plenty of outlets for phones, etc. The bed was comfortable; the chairs not so much but that's not a big deal. The only downside is the lack of privacy from the balcony. With this view, there's no way we want to close the curtains ever, but there is a large viewing area just below where people gather and they can see right into the room. That's the only thing I would change, but there's only 2 stories, so not much you can do about that. We stayed on a Saturday and didn't encounter any construction noise or inconvenience. I don't know if that's because it's the weekend and it's worse during the week? I will definitely stay here again.

Staff was amazing. Beautiful view in the patio. Samantha was able to make things better with ease. The room is beautiful. Huge space and spot on clean. Sheets are well seated and i found it elegant in this stay. We received a complimentary red wine for my wedding anniversary with my wife. The pool was heated and jacuzzi was relaxing. Highly recommend

View from one of the balconies!

Great stay! Love the 2 room ocean view suite! Wow!! 3 balconies! Plenty of room for 2 kids and 2 adults like wow! Comfy beds! They were under construction and it didnt bother us amd our stay at all! They were upfront abour it kn the phone whixh I appreciated. It was so clean and the staff was super kind! Excited to return when they are done with construction. Gorgeous waves crashing at night lulled us to sleep!

Set at 62 in an attempt to cool the room. Room felt like it was 80 degrees.

We paid a pretty penny to stay here and on the second night the AC went out. They sent maintenance to come and "fix" the problem. All that was done was the breaker was reset. Afterward, the AC was still not working and were given room fans immediately as if they knew the AC was still not going to work. Could not get comfortable in the hot room, we also had a 7 month old. It was difficult to console our baby in the room without AC. No compensation or offer for another room was given to us. I probably would have given a little more grace if we did not have our baby with us and they made a better attempt to accommodate, given the price we paid.

One of my favorite experiences was listening to the soothing sound of the waves while taking a nap with the sliding door open. The afternoon sunset was absolutely beautiful, making our time relaxing on the patio even more special. Our room rate included breakfast, which was a typical continental breakfast. One of the highlights of the property was the fire pits, which were especially lovely at night. It was so relaxing to sit by the fire, listen to the waves, and enjoy the peaceful ocean atmosphere. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff were professional, welcoming, and friendly. Overall, our stay was wonderful and relaxing.

However, during this recent visit, we did not feel welcomed.

I apologized and stepped back, and only a few seconds later she did not greet us instead up front asked if we had a reservation. From the beginning, her demeanor toward us felt unfriendly and dismissive. We had booked an Ocean View King with a patio, but we were assigned a fourth‑floor room on the east wing of the hotel with only a partial ocean view and a strong smell of urine. it turns out this area of the building are pet friendly. We returned to the front desk, waited again, and when she called us over with "What's up," I explained the issue. She was quiet for a moment, then reassigned us to the main building second‑floor room above the reception area and informed us that no patio rooms were available. Her behavior throughout the check‑in process was discouraging and made us feel unwelcome, which was disappointing--especially considering we spent over $850 for a two‑night stay. However, a part from this staff issue, Seacrest is a great place to stay, the complementary breakfast is great! but yes that one staff was not the greatest...

First, the good: the staff was fantastic, even dealing with all the difficulties with the property. Always a great attitude and very helpful. So hats off to them. The design and style of the rooms is very nice. Room was very clean. I think the current issue is that property ownership is making some poor choices. Our building was clearly still being worked on. Our first room that we checked in to, when we arrived, the shower was taken apart and a plumber was in the room working on it. We went back to the front desk, and they had no other rooms that were the same, but they got us another room that worked. Unfortunately, the building was running off a generator, and we lost power a couple of times, but it was restored after about 30 minutes. My mom was staying at the hotel as well, and dealt with ants for two days. The hotel did comp her the two days, but she had to move rooms. I think the ownership just reopened too early and should have kept parts of the property closed until they were completely finished. I stayed at the Shorecliff (previous name of the property) last year and it was nice, if a little dated. Not sure why these major systems are not working now. When everything was fine last year. Also, why are they charging $15/day for parking and a $35/day resort fee? It's not fancy like that, I don't think you get a good value for the added fees. Also no breakfast, you have to pay $25 for breakfast buffet that you could get included in your stay in a bunch of other places in Pismo. So yeah, maybe wait until they finish construction.

The room was very clean, and the hotel itself was well maintained. One thing to note is that the bathrooms have an open concept shower, so water can splash onto the floor. Putting down a towel helps, but it's something to be aware of. The hotel also has a small convenience shop in the lobby with snacks, drinks, and essentials like headache medicine. It isn't a huge selection, but with so many stores nearby, it wasn't an issue. They offer on site parking for a fee, which was convenient, and one of my favorite features was the rooftop area it's a great place to relax, eat, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Unfortunately our stay feel short-- As a diamond member at the hotel I did not feel welcomed or acknowledged. I was not thanked for my loyalty nor provided a welcome gift, note even water. To make matters worst-- I was not formally greeted or welcomed- but rather a rush to check me in that started with I am not sure if you room is ready- Note 4pm check in and I stopped in after 4pm. This is another grudge for me, as check ins at hotels keep getting later. The front desk employee was obviously trying to put out a lot of fires- but does not set the tone for my stay-- I did not feel relaxed after checkin. I did receive an upgrade for my room stay- a perk as a diamond member. I initially booked a city view on the top floor, floor 3, and was rebooked to floor two, but facing the ocean. This was a nice perk. Unfortunately with the nice view, you get all of the noise from a parking lot- as a parking lot is in between the hotel and the beach. Note the next door Marriott product is right on the beach- a bit quieter. The noise starts early in the morning with the city cleaning crew. The room does supply a noise cancelling machine-- I understand why it is needed- but when you are at the ocean you want to hear the ocean! To make matters worst- the water at the hotel is horrible. Given how bad the water is, the hotel should provide guest with bottle water. The water is so bad, I could not brush my teeth with it. When you take a shower, you can smell the water as well. Diamond members receive two free bottles of water a day but this is not enough. In the hallway there is a water bottle filler- but it does not have a filter- thus the water is bad as well. Plus they are making drinks with this bad water. As a welcome gift- they do give coupons for one drink per a person- the card provided said cocktail, beer or wine. Upon entrance to the bar, I was informed that it was only good for a sweet margarita. They said the card has not been updated yet- the "card" was just a piece a paper- so really no excuse. The hotel should honor the card until updated. I think one of the worst things was receiving my bill after I left and noticing that my food and beverage credit was not deducted from bill- I had to call to get it change- and now I will have to track it to closure. When I called, I was put on hold for over 10 minutes! Under staffed? Anyways bad customer servies. Overall, not a great relaxing stay and not worth the cost-- Next time, I would stay at the next door Marriott for better comfort, customer service, and a restful night of sleep.

When I asked about room availability, the front desk agent told me there were no rooms available. However, while standing there, I checked Marriott's website and found multiple rooms available to book immediately. When I pointed this out, she claimed the online booking inventory didn't match the hotel's actual inventory, which made no sense and felt dishonest. Rather than trying to help resolve the situation, she came across as patronizing, offering unnecessary explanations about hotel hours as if that addressed the issue. The interaction felt dismissive from start to finish. To make matters worse, she offered a 2:00 p.m. late checkout because I'm a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum member, but then made a point of telling me she was not offering the 4:00 p.m. late checkout because she wasn't required to honor that benefit for Bonvoy members. It felt unnecessarily confrontational and came across as though she wanted to emphasize what she didn't have to do rather than provide good hospitality. Great hotels are remembered for exceptional service, especially when something doesn't go as planned. Unfortunately, this experience was the opposite. I've stayed at many Marriott properties, and this was one of the poorest customer service experiences I've encountered. I hope management reviews how guests are treated, because no one should leave feeling dismissed and misled.
