In the front desk area they had everything you needed in case you forgot a razor or toothpaste. The front desk agent was also incredibly welcoming. The room was such a beach vibe I loved it.

For $100 a night this is a great deal considering very walkable and great location. For what we paid ($300+ per night) almost comical.

Cozy and quick

This motel is situated immediately off the freeway but is surprisingly quiet. There is a cute little outdoor seating area, grassy area for the pups and ample parking. There is no elevator on the premise so be prepared to carry your luggage up the 1 flight. We had a small window view of the ocean from our bathroom but otherwise our view was the parking lot. The room was clean and spacious and again, quiet. The walk to the main strip of town was short but drivable if you prefer. It took maybe 10 minutes max with traffic signals. The weather permitted our outdoor activities but if thats not the case, everything is a short drive away.

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!

The only thing which we found inconvenient was getting out of the parking lot, which was not anyone's fault, just the overall placement of the motel, however I would return again

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
