Cottage Inn By The Sea

Cottage Inn By The Sea

10/10 Excellent
"Wow, Wow, Wow. This hotel is a gem. It was my first time staying here. This was our first stop on our road trip my kids and I were taking. We could have not driven anywhere else and spent 4 days here that's how much we loved it. This is in such a great and secluded area in Pismo Beach. The room it self was very cute and the beds in my kids words "These beds are like clouds mama!" were so comfy. There is a beautiful walk down to the beach where the waves are calm and its shallow great for the kids. the hotel lobby had a great selection of bord games and had a filtered water dispenser. The also provided alcoholic beverages, wine and snacks from 8am-10pm. Such a great stay and we will be back again."
