The last two years we have traveled to Pismo Beach for a weekend baseball tournament. The previous year we had booked a room at a different hotel and arrived to find mold and ants occupying our room. We scrambled to find another room at a different hotel that was better, but not by much. This year we chose to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn and it was wonderful. The hotel is clean and comfortable. The room was spacious and the facility was extremely welcoming. I highly recommend this hotel. Sometimes checking in can feel like an interrogation to determine if you should really be there. It cheapens the experience. The Hilton Garden Inn Pismo Beach check in process was warm, inviting, and made me feel very welcome. This is a waning skill in the service industry so it was nice to feel like I belonged.
