Property is small, but was clean and updated. Walking about 7 to 10 minutes to the beach. Short drive to Pismo Pier.

I love this place. It’s clean and comfortable. And the staff are friendly and inviting. They even give you a s’mores care package so you can build a bonfire on the beach. I thought that was the cherry on top.

This was an excellent choice for our night stay.The staff did an excellent job getting us situated. It's dog friendly, the rooms are clean, the heaters/cooler is easily adjustable and kicks on quickly. Its located near all the conveinces. I would stay here again in the future.

The property was nice! I enjoyed my stay. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the shower soap dispenser not working when I took a shower but everything I enjoyed!

The new renovations were a bonus - and a very comfortable bed. Rude guests making noise with their children and a party truck at 11pm ruined the calm and quiet accommodations - but this wasn't the fault of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful upon check in. I would encourage travelers to consider the Dune Surfer Inn if they are in the area.

Kayla the front desk agent was so friendly and accommodating. I did a late check in and she made sure my service animal and I had everything we needed at such a late hour. Thank you for the great service and hospitality, Kayla! Would recommend this humble gem 10/10!

Definitely a diamond in the rough. Came to hit the dunes and enjoy the beach so we only really slept in the room. The staff was courteous, the room was clean, and we got what we expected. Big thanks for accommodating a downstairs room!

Some glitches with the physical facility, as they were coming out of a major remodeling (lock did not work on first room, etc.) but staff was very friendly and helpful and took care of any problems. We really enjoyed our stay.

Check in was a breeze with Josh. They’ve done a great job remodeling very comfortable mattress, but the pillows were too soft. It was quiet at night, but road traffic woke me up in the morning because our room was in the front overall it was a great experience.
