"The Best Western at Pismo Beach exceeded our expectations. We had a very quick check in and was allowed in the room 1 hour before. It was lovely that they had a small refrigerator and a coffee machine available. I like that the sink area was outside the bathroom. I also enjoyed their jacuzzi and pool. The breakfast had a lot of selections hot and cold. Well worth the money and a good location.It is 2 miles from the pier. Q I"

"He rented through hotel.com. I thought it was a high luxury hotel but we needed the space and it looked really nice. It also had a great price once there. I realized it was kind of like a condominium type place very interesting. The front desk just like a hotel upgraded us because they had available units that were even nicer than the ones I got and didn’t charge us. It was amazing. I would stay there every day all day. It was hard to leave the place to go to the lake. We enjoyed it so much. We actually used the barbecue and a swimming pool and Jacuzzi that it offered, but the unit itself was amazing. It had an amazing view. The staff was amazing. I’m not just saying that guys please try this place out. I also like the quality Inn just because it has that giant hot tub. And their rooms aren’t that bad but are definitely not as close to the comfort this room has it has a kitchen. It provides pots and pans so this is the way to go if you’re traveling with your family."
