    The soft comfy bed was offset by cinsrant road noise through the night.

    On the edge of a busy frontage road to Hwy 101, this motel is clean, convenient to the pier and provides nice value.

    Not owners fault but we had children above us running around and banging on the floor above us.

    Easy to get to off highway and parking outside door. 10 min walk to gorgeous beach. Good size and clean room - massive bed! Easy check in and out. Has everything you need. Would recommend and stay again!

    -Parking could be a bit tight in some spots and it could get full easily

    Returning guest here (2nd visit) +Location is very centralized and you can walk to the beach or Downtown Pismo within a couple minutes +Pricing is very affordable for the amenities and area +It's a clean, cozy, and updated motel; the room was very spacious +Pet friendly +It has a lawn area for the pups to roam around and take care of their business +Room came with all the necessities needed like soap/shampoo/lotion, hair dryer, ironing board, coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge +It looks like they are developing their outdoor area, which had some patio furniture and a shaded area +Check in and check out was a breeze and the front desk staff and manager were nice +I love how they send reminders via text before closing time and to send out notifications. I find that pretty rare for hotels, let alone motels, so that was a nice touch

    There was some noise like a FAX machine dialing that happened the whole stay. It wasn't continuous, it was on and off consistently the whole.stay.

    Check in and out was very easy. The room was very clean.

    I know I was in a pet room but the smell of bleach/ cleaning products was overwhelming. I slept with the bathroom window open to air it out .

    Small fridge , microwave and coffee make is a bonus . They also had a nice welcome pet bag for my pup .

    It's a little noisy because it is a budget motel and attracts people/large groups looking for that price point. But that is no reflection on the motel.

    Management is the very best thing about this place. Super helpful, responsive, and friendly. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Good amenities like coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge, and a tv that worked well. I always go over a room with disinfecting wipes before I settle in and I didn't pick up any dust or dirt inside the room.

    Only issue I feel worth mentioning is the shower water was not hot in the AM.

    Property was clean, comfortable and a convenient location. Amenities were as advertised, enjoyed outside seating area that was upgraded from the pictures and very comfortable.

    The shampoo and conditioner dried my hair really bad, and the conditioner bottle had shampoo in it. The bed felt like one corner was lower on the left side of the head of the bed, and the frame was very Annoying.

    I loved the staff. We had our dog, which was great. They had treats for the pet's so sweet.

    The walls are a little thin, so I definitely recommend ear plugs to block out the sounds coming from neighboring rooms. Altogether, definitely more plusses than minuses.

    The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The deco in the room was really cute, classic beach look & feel. The bed was very comfortable, and the whole room was spacious and gave out a welcoming feel. For pet owners, it's also nice that there is a grass area and a gravel area so that pets can go "do their thing" regardless of what their preferred ground is. Overall, extremely convenient location, right off of 101 and close to restaurants and the beach (walking distance).
