Hidden Gem
My favorite place to stay In Pismo area- rooms have cute/ home like touches in decor. The bathrooms are a bit small but beds are comfy & it’s always clean. Staff is always great too. Key less check in/ room entry is also convenient. Beach is a short couple minute walk down street. Steaming Bean coffee shop is nearby with excellent coffee and quick breakfast options

A little small, but nothing to complain about. Loved that it was right down the street from the restaurants and bars and coffee shops. Reasonable price for our stay.

Awesome Place
This is our second stay at this inn. We love the privacy, the decor, the friendliness of the staff and the location. A nice walk to the beach, restaurants and easy access to Hwy 101. We will be back on our next trip through central CA.

Great little motel! The staff was very friendly the room was beyond my expectation with heated tiles in the bathroom and on top of that they had a heated pool. It’s also in a very walkable location for dining and supplies
