We were greeted with a very friendly front desk girl, Jami, who gave us lots of recommendations. The hotel is VERY clean, even the carpets. I noticed carpet cleaning pad outside the door of rooms being clean. No musty smell at all. You have to take a little walk to get to the beach access, but not far and it's a lovely walk. Breakfast was ok, not bad, not great. The coffee is GREAT and it's available with to-go cups all day and all night. We loved that. I always take my own hand soap and lotion but I tried theirs and I loved it. It's very high end and I purchased a lotion to take home. The room has a nice balcony, refrigerator, coffee pot with a big selection of tea and coffee, and has a microwave. The location is minutes from the Pismo Pier. ALL staff were very accommodating. The shower head is the only complaint I have. Very little pressure. No detachable head, I will definitely stay here again.
