Pismo Beach Club

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Pismo Beach Club Hotel! The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with a cute California coastal, mid-century modern vibe. We loved the thoughtful touches throughout the room, including the complimentary snacks and beverages. The amenities were great, but the location was definitely a highlight—just a short walk to the pier, shops, and plenty of eateries. Overall, a charming, comfortable stay in the heart of Pismo Beach. We would absolutely stay here again!"

Sea Garden Inn Pismo Beach- San Luis Obispo

10/10 Excellent
"Great location and staff were super kind and helpful. The walls are thin and guests next to me were fighting up to 12:30 am/1 am, even after I asked them if they could try to keep it down and shared how I could hear every single word they said to each other. The office answered my call in the middle of the night and did everything possible to help. They offered to come talk to the guest but since I already did I didn’t think that would help. The motel was sold out but they would have been happy to move me if there was another room — ( I also really liked that room at the end of the building). They also would have returned the money if I wanted to go elsewhere. I ended up putting headphones on and eventually fell asleep and the neighbors also eventually went to sleep. I stayed several more days and enjoyed the wonderful Location and the comfortable accommodations. Everything was very quiet and relaxed the rest of the stay. I am glad I stayed and had a very nice time. Pricing was very reasonable too."
