"We had a wonderful “lower” room do we didn’t hear any traffic noise though we heard our neighbor’s TV once or twice and a few heavy footsteps above us. The views of the mighty Pacific are gorgeous from almost everywhere on the property, and there are lots of outdoor places to enjoy them—several fire pits, a gazebo, some hammock chairs with umbrellas, a hot tub, a lawn, some benches atop the cliffs, or your own private balcony. The rooms have safes, bathrobes, mini fridges, microwaves, and a cozy throw blanket to cover you up outside if it gets breezy. Parking and breakfast were both included, ample, and convenient, and there was an included wine hour in the late afternoon. The staff couldn’t have been more pleasant or helpful. Plenty of restaurants south toward Pismo downtown (.5 to 1.5 miles) or north to Shell Beach (.8 miles). Both an easy walk if you’re so inclined. The cons: the in-room heater (and presumably a/c in the same unit) is loud; the Maxwell House pods for the in-room Keurig are not for people who really enjoy coffee; lastly, the pumps on the bath amenities were all rather stubborn and the soaps themselves were pretty basic. Bring your own if you like to wash your face with something that feels and smells good. Overall, though, a great find. We’ll be back."

"I really loved the rooftop deck and the breakfast room was really nice with good options for breakfast. I didn't like the fragrance in the lobby, it was too much and would have resulted in a headache if we had hung out there. Other than that we loved our stay."

"We love staying here when we go to pismo, but I just wish they had air conditioning in the rooms… it gets stuffy in the rooms & if your on the bottom floor, I don’t feel comfortable leaving sliding glass door open… "

"A great quiet getaway location during the non-tourist season. Walking distance to everything down town. "

"We spent Thanksgiving here, just me, my husband and my small dog. The room was comfortable - we were able to get a room with a separate living area for a reasonable price. There were great amenities such as free breakfast, free cocktail hour, designated dog relief area, pool, 2 outdoor fire pits, bbq, plenty of places to sit outside, and the shower had new rain/handheld fixtures. They were pretty responsive to requests for extra towels. There were only minor things that we felt could have been better (mostly areas that might have been missed when cleaning, and some broken things that did not affect our comfort). I did leave a note for the staff so they were aware and hopefully they fix. "
