    When you open the bathroom door , it is blocking the sink area and no one can use the sink , or you can bump into another person . A sliding door to the bathroom will work better , won't be so crowded . The sink is not friendly user . Just my opinion .

    Convenient to Beach access , to the freeway , room is clean , bathroom too and we like the dining room too . On renovation but it's alright , no noise disturbance noted .

    Breakfast only served until 9 am. I slept thru it!

    undergoing some minor renovations. Did not disrupt the stay. Reverse floor system. Lobby was on 4th floor. Most rooms were below on 3,2 &1. So if you are like me and don't want someone above you ask for room on 4th floor.

    Free breakfast is not included with your stay. I believe it was around $20 per person. They charge for parking. There was no hot tub.

    The location was great and the staff were very nice. The room was nice and clean.

    The mattresses where rather lumpy. Of all the hotels we stayed in while in California this had beds that needed replacing. I was informed by the receptionist when we check in on Saturday that breakfast was served until 10am on Sunday morning. When I went along at 9.15am breakfast had finished. Breakfast is only served till 9am be warned! The receptionist did take off the costs of the breakfasts from the bill but I would rather have had breakfast. 9am is too early to finish especially at weekends!

    Room was massive. Had fridge and desk in room. Hotel had a small gym and outside pool

    Wifi signal was really poor on the bottom floor rooms. I didn't stay long enough to form any strong opinions.

    Lovely large comfy room. Only stayed one night - breakfast was expensive with no vegan options so I didn't purchase.

    Hilton always has great ass pillows man haha 😂 but location high on a mountain and you can scrape your car around the areas if you’re not careful. Ppl seemed cool we got there late had a quick stay just to see the sunset . On our way back up north we love pismo must try “beach in biscuits . Is more expensive then anything so that brings my review down . But if you wanna walk to the beach ,I wouldn’t wanna walk back up the hill 😂

    First room smelled really bad. The receptionist offered to send me to a different room with no questions asked. Very nice lady. Second room was dirty spots all over the walls

    Customer service Staff was really nice Asked multiple times for towels to my room and in the pool always delivered with great attitude. Really hard to find nowadays... Very happy with the staff

    It was unclear how the breakfast buffet worked. The price list only included hot meals and did not mention the rest of the breakfast selection.

    The breakfast was good and cheaper than other breakfast meals in the area.

    OLD hotel. Not super clean. Disappointed greatly that they didn't care about Hilton Honors. Charged 12 a night to park a car in an empty lot..THEN wanted to charge 10 a day for breakfast. REALLY shabby Hilton Garden Inn.
