No Sleep
Very nice view of the beach. The room seemed clean at first. Later, in the evening when I returned after dark I found little roaches... on the wall by the night stand, on the left corner of the foot of the bed, on the floor of the bathroom and in the shower. The office was closed. I needed to get up very early. I had no choice. It was a terrible night. I left as early as I could.

Blankets stunk. Asked for them to be replaced was told they would be and they weren’t. Disgusting

2/10 Poor

Was charged in additional fee apart from everything I paid through the application I used Expedia. I found sand in hair on the pillow and sheets unable to speak to anybody about the issue. I just left five hours after the check-in taking my loss. I couldn’t have my family stay there. I was not comfortable. Neither were they with the room being unsure if it was even clean.

10/10 Exceptional

The place is slightly rough on the details, but pretty much exactly what is expected of a place that is literally on the beach (and pier). The room space is also on the tight side but workable. They do keep things clean and the noise levels are normal, sometimes very quiet. The sound of the waves makes for a calming experience. In high tourist season the noise level goes up of course. Not the most fancy place but if you like the idea of getting to the beach in 1 minute from your room, then this is the place.

Nothing fancy. But you can’t beat the location. Walking distance from the beach shopping and the main area of Pismo Beach. If you are looking to stay in the room on vacation pick another place if you are looking for just to stay and sleep. You can’t beat this location.

Everything was basically fine except check in. I received my key at 4:30pm and went to my room to find the door open and the room not cleaned. Come back in half an hour and it will be ready. Room was not ready until 6:30pm.
