10/10 Excellent

"We were hesitant to book as it was currently being remodeled. They are doing major work but we were unaffected. Our room was spotless and the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept on. The staff is friendly and helpful (thanks Sonja)! We highly recommend getting a room with a beach view. Can’t wait to return when all the work is done. Perfect spot in Pismo Beach!!"
