The grounds and the views are great. The rooms are very clean. There were a good number of choices for breakfast. I love oatmeal for breakfast and it was thick and tasty. Lots of places to walk and a nice trail and stairs to the beach. The staff were all very friendly. I’ve stayed there several times now and i plan to return on my next trip to Pismo.

Normally very nice, but this stay wasn't great. Stayed a week and we were put in a room that was right by the highway so instead of hearing beautiful ocean waves all day and night we heard traffic. Front door wouldn't close all the way. Huge gap between the wall and headrest, pillows kept falling through the crack onto the ground. Not a lot of choices for breakfast.
