We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here until about 8pm, when the upstairs guests began making constant noise that went on until at least 3am. My husband eventually had to bang on the ceiling to get them to quiet down. We’re talking heavy footsteps, furniture being dragged, loud bangs from things dropping, and voices so loud we could hear them even with the AC and TV turned up. While I don’t hold this against the Inn itself (the reviews we read suggest this isn’t a common occurrence), the experience was frustrating enough to make us hesitant about staying again. That said, the Inn does have a lot going for it: it’s very cute, conveniently close to Downtown Pismo and the pier, and the dog fee is unbeatable for the area. Staff was very friendly, check-in was a breeze, and our room was clean and surprisingly spacious for its size. My recommendation for future guests: request a top-floor room, or consider booking a cottage, beach house, or ocean-view room to avoid the noise issue we experienced.

There were a lot of bad smells coming from the ac unit. Rooms are tiny. No closet or dresser. No extra linens. Next to freeway so extremely noisy. Water didn't drain in sink well. I guess some people are satisfied with these standards however, for your health and safety, I would stay away from this hotel.

Tripping with my friends!

We had a great single night at the Tides and hope to return soon. Very clean, quite, and wonderfully close to the ocean.

The room was very clean and smelled really good. Perfect size for 2 people and the bathroom is very updated and nice. The only things I didn’t care for was the bed- it was pretty hard but luckily we were only staying for 1 night. The bathroom sink also drained very slowly. Otherwise great stay!

Charming little hotel

Charming visit. Room was clean and renovated. Front desk staff was very friendly. Instead of water bottles they have a bottle refill station. Loved the fire pit and that I could text the staff to come turn it on for us. Only downside was the stairs to the beach was closed because of erosion.

Perfect for us!

Everything was perfect for us! The cottage was clean and comfortable. The view was spectacular! It was nice to have grass in the front and back yards for our dogs. The Wi-Fi was pretty slow, and the bathroom is tiny, but the price is right! We will be back!

Room was clean, a little inconvenient without a dresser or closet but it served its purpose. I misread the property details and thought that there was an area for all the guest to hang out and play corn hole and pool but those areas were specifically designated for only guest that book that specific room. But overall, loved our time spent here
