This Pismo Beach hotel features a free WiFi and free parking. Pismo Beach is 25 minutes’ walk away.

Each air-conditioned room provides a seating area with cable TV at Oxford Suites Pismo Beach. An en suite bathroom with granite counters is provided at Oxford Suites Pismo Beach.

The staff at Oxford Suites were very welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The complementary breakfast had a good selection of hot & cold options to set you up nicely for the day. The pool area was spacious, the pool is heated, towels are provided and the jacuzzi is fab. Reasonably priced laundry facilities were also very useful. The hotel is situated a bit outside of Pismo Beach, but taxis are always available and although we didn’t use it, the staff informed us that, depending on staffing levels, a shuttle bus to Pismo Beach may be available. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to return at some stage in the future.

Located on an oceanfront bluff off of Pismo Beach, Tides Oceanview Inn and Cottages offers an ideal location for guests. Free WiFi and free parking are also provided for guests’ convenience.

A flat-screen cable TV is included in each room. Free toiletries and a hairdryer are also available. White plush linens cover beds that sit adjacent to a work desk. Guests can enjoy their own private entrance.

The first 3 weeks were perfect , the hotel staff amazing. But somehow I misunderstood the checkout date and was late by an hour and a half checking out and things got ugly fast . I felt terrible as they had guests coming in as well. Someone on the staff team said some mean things and my checkout price was higher than I was quoted or had paid all the prior days … Much higher. I was to receive a 20% off for my stays as I am local and in between houses. They didn’t apply that to my Che out fees at all . I guess because I was late checking out .

    I rarely write reviews or testimonials but the Inn at the Cove more than deserves a review. The staff, the facilities, the breakfast, the gardens and the private beach; wonderful! We stayed at a variety of hotels on this trip that style themselves from budget to exclusive but this place was without a doubt the best. If you want a bar and burger place in town it’s just not for you, for everyone else? Perfect.

    Great location and accommodation, but it's the staff that stand out. Danielle excels as Front Office Manager, and Areany meets all guests with a warm and helpful smile and attitude - all of which is VERY appreciated after a 4 hour drive! Accommodation is great. The rooms are very spacious, clean and well designed. And the location is perfect! This was my favorite hotel on my drive from LA to San Francisco.

    Beautiful room with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was very well designed and spacious. The staff were extremely attentive and always welcoming. The meal we had in the restaurant was delicious and the views over the Pismo Beach were beautiful. Would definitely stay here again. Great location near the beach and all amenities.

    We much enjoyed our little suite in the heart of Pismo beach - 3 minute walk to beach. It was quiet, comfortable and attractive - great building design. Kitchen was well-equipped. Washing machine and dryer were great. Having private covered parking was terrific. Great atmosphere. WiFi worked well.
