Oxford Suites Pismo Beach
Needs bigger bath towels, more wash clothes and that spare blanket was old & scratchy. I loved the dog park, and the pool was beautiful. The Cocktails were amazing.

Sandcastle Hotel on the Beach
This was the best hotel in Pismo. View was spectacular. We had a “partial” ocean view but if you ask me the view was better than sitting on the The Deck. Staff were all very nice and helpful. Definitely staying here again
