My single queen room was small, but you could tell it had been refurbished not that long ago. Everything in the room was clean and in good order. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again if I was looking for a basic inexpensive room.

Electricity wouldn’t work in my room.. no heating! Now me complaining about the condition of the place has nothing to do with my service I received there. The woman that worked there was very accomodating. I just don’t think I would ever book here again!

This property has kind of a mix of qualities. The buildings, walls, fixtures and such are well used and a little beat up, but mostly everything seemed clean. A few things like light fixtures or small tables seemed newer. Most amenities are on the cheaper side. The one major downer was the heater. It was a tiny plug in portable. There was a tiny electric wall heater in the wall but it did not work. The door also did not seal when closed, which also added to a loss of heat. It was comfortable enough, though a little colder than I like.

Great service and location.
This was a last minute reservation and I can’t remember the girls name who checked me in but she went above and beyond when I arrived. She explained that the wall heater wasn’t working but she already had a space heater going in the room for me. The door was tricky to open so she walked me up to the room and showed me how to open the door. The room was huge for just me, but it was comfortable and clean. She recommended a late night place to eat the Cool Cat café, which was very good and very close to walk. The only bad things about this day were the neighbors were screaming when I returned after dinner. At 6:30 Sunday morning I was woken up by the sounds of banging and footsteps only to find out it was from seagulls that were fighting on the roof and runnung across the ceiling. It was so loud I thought someone was breaking into the room. It was crazy. So I don’t hold the property responsible for this. I’m just reporting what happened because the woman who checked me in was amazing and friendly and so very helpful. Just beware of fighting seagulls in room 236 if you want to sleep in. Ha ha ha ha.

The room itself was clean. But, we had a towel that had long black hairs and didnt know about it until after showering. Now, the shower itself didn't work. The pull up tab to get the water to come up of the shower head was broken.

Good Location, As expected.
Staff at the front desk was super friendly and check in was quick. Room was so-so. It was clean and had what we expected, but there is no ac, and the ceiling fan didn't work so rather stuffy especially with non opening ground floor windows. No art on the walls, just mirrors. The sink stopper was also broken. These are just little things not worth asking about a new room for, but it's the little things you notice. It was quiet enough but we could hear people in the other rooms, luckily none were partiers. We stayed one night off season, so that's probably why. Location is awesome, as was free parking. Walk to beach, pier and shops. Great place to watch the sunset. Also recommend going to the Pismo preserve close by (short drive) for hikes with views of the sea and wild flowers.
