The hot tub was roped off and we were not given a reason why. Kind of a big bummer for a beach trip in February.

Inn at the Pier Pismo Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton
I believe the gentleman’s name was either Eric or Paul but he worked the evening shift during our stay. He was the BEST and so kind to our toddler. He was helpful with suggestions and overall such a sweetheart

Pismo Beachwalker Inn & Suites
This is an older property. The great thing is you do get some larger rooms/bathroom. Could use some updating but then you would be paying a higher rate because the location is great! Everything is within walking distance. Stay during the week to get the lower rates as everything goes up for weekend ...

Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach, Autograph Collection
Room said Full Ocean view. We have stayed previously had had a wonderful experience. We were on the 1st floor this time. People with uninstructed views into our room. Boardwalk and railing obstructed the entire view.

SeaVenture Beach Hotel
No AC yes next to ocean would be nice but it was warm and our window was not facing ocean but two empty lots and small old homes. I asked about the getting a view and I was told that it was because thru 3rd party Expedia that’s not nice maybe I should stop using Expedia
