8/10 Good
"Enjoyed my stay. This was my first time staying at this hotel. The hotel was busy during my August stay. The view from my balcony was great and the weather was perfect. The room itself was comfortable and clean. You need to schedule room service but no big deal. There are several jacuzzi's and a heated pool. There is beach access at the hotel. It is a half mile walk to the pier and downtown Pismo. Breakfast for me was my only low score. There was only two hot options scrambled eggs and sausages and basic items like wheat toast, cereal, patries, pancake. The coffee was good as long as I had that I was good. If you want a full breakfast there is a diner a short walk from the hotel. Overall I enjoyed my stay and I would definitely stay there again."
