When checking in the clerk was trying to make me pay a $15 fee. For who knows what? I told him I payed online and I wasn't paying more and that he should have included that in the online information. The shower drain didn't drain so had to shower with having to continuously shut off the water. The water somehow leaked all over the bathroom floor. Had to finish showering in another room. One star for the heater working good.

Quiet hidden gem

I took a solo trip to pismo after splitting up with my significant other of almost 8 years. I had stayed at this hotel in the past and found it to be pretty close to the pier. It is situated in an established part of pismo, but I found it to be safe and clean.

Great location

Good for the price and better for the location. 5 minute walk to the beach great area. Only issue was a broken bathroom window with pieces still stuck inside the window. Bathroom was a bit outdated and moldy but for the location and price... you be the judge :) I'd stay again tbh. I might bring my own cleaning stuff though and a area heater.

Great people running this place, beds were comfy and clean and rooms were safe. No frills at all.. no coffee maker, no iron or hair dryer. Location is great.

Moldy bathroom

Manager was very nice at check in. Room wasn’t horrible but bathroom was disgusting. There was mold on the ceiling and all over the bottom of the shower curtain which makes me think that it doesn’t get changed between guests. The bathroom had no ventilation (which is most likely the cause of the mold) other than a small window that had no screen. I’ve stayed at blue seal before (a different room) and it was not nasty like this one was. I doubt I’ll stay there again.

Location was excellent. Staff very friendly. Upon entry to room, it smelt dank. We went to local store and got cleaning stuff and cleaned the bathroom and entire floor of hotel, fortunately it was a tile floor. I am positive those floors haven't been mopped in a long time. Bathroom door hinges were loose and had to lift door to get to close. The toilet seat was loose and moved around when you sat on it. Once properly cleaned, our stay was nice and being so local to beach, food and stores was excellent. I think the cleaning part should be more thorough.

Mayra

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had no other option, so we had to suck it up. The property is run down but has potential to look so much better. We got the 3 beds that had a little kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen cabinet doors were hanging off, one bathroom had no toilet seat and was clogged, the carpets were horrendous, only one small trash can provided for the entire room(not even for the bathrooms), possible mold spotted in bathrooms, and our room was not ready till 7:30PM! Pros: walking distance to the beach, having 3 beds and kitchen. With the right management in place, this location can improve greatly. Until then, we plan to stay elsewhere.

not the worst but its okay for a night

the staff at checkin and check out were super amazing friendly and nice. the room we were in #15 its a super basic room PROS: the bed was comfortable. there was a microwave, mini fridge and table with two chairs also a tv. The towels seemed pretty new. The parking lot is easy to park in. CONS: the mini fridge door dragged on the ground making it hard to open and close. the room needs a deep clean and maintenance. the walls need painting as you can see were repairs were done and instead of using wall color its now a hige spot of white paint. the faucet in the bathroom is super loose to the point of needing repair. all the walls and door jams are horribly dirty. the floor was however super clean as well as the shower. This hotel was great for a night at 145.00 in mid oct.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Cons: The pool is under repair, the motel was noisy. It was hard to sleep with the light shining in the window, shutters would not close all the way. The air conditioner is a wall unit, it did not cool off the room. The bathroom was clean but old. The beds were lumpy. The beds had sheets and bedspreads, no actual blankets. The neighborhood was sketchy. The price was high. Located on an extremely busy street with no crosswalks for a few blocks. A lot of people park their trailers or RVs on the street so it is hard to see traffic if you are walking around. Pros: walking distance to the beach. Management was helpful. Parking was included. Parking was not strict. Pets are allowed. If you can get this place for a deal it would be worth it. For 300 a night? Look elsewhere.

Kathy

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Unfortunately, my room was lacking some expected items that the manager mostly remedied in a timely manner. 1) missing smoke detector (replaced timely) 2) broken lamp (not fixed per my decision) 3) TV did not work easily (manager had to show me how to finagle buttons to get to live tv. There was no way to figure this out without his help) 4) Towels no bath mat or hand towels in room when checked in. We finally got some after a couple days. 5) Bed had a thin bedspread and sheet only. I had to ask for a blanket 6) Bare minimum in the room - 1 queen bed, 2 bed side tables with lamps, one broken, 1 small table with 2 unmatching chairs, small refrigerator and 1 TV. 7)Swimming pool was empty and out of commission. 8) No breakfast, food or coffee offered. The bathroom was very nice and clean with a walkin shower. Knowing and accepting all these limitations, I would possibly stay here again. The price was right.
