Cottage Inn By The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Fast check in, room was very nice with great fire place and in room Starbucks coffee pods. Beautiful views from hotel grounds that are on the cliff. Views of the birds flying at eye level is amazing. Fire pit with views, pool and hot tub. If we come back to Pismo we will stay here again"

Pacific Point Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful trip shared with my significant other to celebrate my birthday. The pool is absolutely amazing and perfect temperature. The hot tub was nice. The rooms were lovely with a nice patio. We utilized the fire pits and the hotel has a gazebo near the property that sits on the top of the beach. It’s a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset."

Edgewater Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and ready for an early check in that I requested. The staff was very accommodating to my needs. I was assisted taking my bags to my room and back to my car when I checked out. I noticed how the staff worked each of my four night stay to clean the pool and hot tub daily as well as sweeping the outside window seals and frames. The property is well kept. I didn't have a balcony but a good northern view of the ocean. Bathroom could use grab bars in the shower although I wasn't in an Accessible room. Grab and go breakfast was sufficient. Hope to stay again in the future."

Oxford Suites Pismo Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful hotel to stay in. The room was clean, staff were very helpful, breakfast was wonderful and also the complimentary drinks in the afternoon were great!! Location is also central to a lot of sights ex: Morro Bay, and Monterey. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I will definitely be coming back."
