9.0

Great stay within walking distance of a few restaurants and ocean views, with very accommodating staff :)

​The tide pools near Margo Dodd Park that I booked this location for no longer have access, but other than that great place to stay!

"Nice clean and comfortable suite in a small family owned motel."

8.0

We enjoyed the suite at this small family owned motel. Large living room with comfortable sofa. Quaint, but well furnished...even had a small turntable in a suitcase with a stack of LPs, including Elvis and Barbra Streisand. Full sized kitchen appliances. Small pool was warm, but no lounge chairs for laying out. No jacuzzi.

"The 4 C's"

10.0

Cozy, comfortable, clean and courteous! One of the cleanest plays we have stayed. Not super fancy, only 9 or ten units. We stayed in number 3 for 1 night on our south. Not a single complaint

"Meh."

6.0

I was expecting a lot based on the reviews but I was overall disappointed. We had zero face to face interaction with the supposedly extra welcoming staff, the suite was not up to my personal standards as the plumbing was leaking, the street noise was bad, the bed was very uncomfortable, and the heat/ac situation was less than ideal. I'm a new parent of a CP student but I'm going to stay elsewhere next time.

"Pismo Gem"

8.0

Great stay at the Inn. Close to everything, cozy and quiet. Only drawback was the heavily fragranced laundry detergent used on the linens. Could be an issue for sensitive skinned people (like me).
