Was perfect overnight stay for us with a dog. Although we could not spend time in the common outdoor lounge/picnic area, it was very nice. Bed was comfortable. There was even a small refrigerator and microwave that was convenient. The only small issue I had was with some plumbing smell from the bathroom, it was minor issue but would be nice if it is fixed.

If you need a clean affordable place to stay, this is it. Walking to beach area, dining and feels safe. There is no fancy stuff here. A/C was a bit noisy but we lived with it. 1 and a half rolls of toilet paper was barely enough for a one night stay, bathrooms were clean. I'll be back for a quick stay.

Foxs Getaway

We had a great stay the hotel was close to restaurants, bars, and of course the beach. Parking was safe and plenty of room. The hotel room was nice, updated and very clean. The outside lounge area we used was very cool to hang out and even had outlets for your phone and a nice fire ring. We will stay again!!

Quiet, safe, good location, can walk to beach, everything works fine. Bonus points for nice staff, cleanliness, and especially PRICE!. We needed a place to stay heading up North. Originally booked at a similar place in San Luis Obispo but it was $377...I looked further and found this place for only $106. So this was a no brainer. Plus if you want SLO is a close drive anyway so staying here is a money saver. Great place

Quick weekend get-a-way

The hotel looked like it had been remodeled in the last year and it was very clean and fresh. We stayed 2 nights and had no problems with noise or parking even though they were totally booked. The hotel was within walking distance to everything we wanted to do in Pismo

I liked the smoking area where the pool used to be. The property had a tiny pool they turned into a fenced patio area with a fire pit they keep open late. There's also a dog run area for your puppy to potty etc. Great updates to the property!
