8.0 / 10.0
Location is gorgeous and our suite was spacious and well appointed. The breakfast was included and was far better than most hotel breakfasts. Walkable to the beach and great for families.
The hotel was under massive, active construction throughout our stay, which was not shared when we booked. We got a notice 2 days before of renovations taking place but since we prepaid through Booking there was nothing we could do.

A beautiful property with a view and nice facility.
Paying $20 parking fees. It’s just ridiculous and half the parking lot was full of debri from the remodeling.

I liked the area and location
It was under renovation. Which was not disclosed when originally booking the room. Only a week before the trip were we notified of that. But it was alot more renovation than was described in the email. Very inconvenient

Pros: Great Location and good breakfast with waffles.
Cons: The room was very basic for the high cost. Nickle and dimed to make a one night stay on a Monday night for a normal room at $310 total.
I have to give some background before the main complaint. I booked via Booking.com, so I was made aware of the resort fee for $35, but not the parking for $15, so that was a surprise. Booking.com also did not clearly state the pet policy. I did not check the hotel's actual website. I was unaware birds were not allowed.
Yes, I brought a pet bird along for the stay, a small cockatiel that stayed in its cage. I have brought small birds in cages to many hotels, and it has not been a problem. The bird did not destroy the room. The bird did not cause extra cleaning for the cleaning crew.
Upon check out, the clerk accused me of sneaking in the bird and charged a $50 fee. She said she saw me carry the cage to the car. The clerk appeared very satisfied that she "caught" me, as if she was a star detective. I did not sneak in the bird. If sneaking was my goal, I would not have parked in view of the front desk. I was simply unaware birds were not allowed.
It was the way the situation was handled. I tried to explain, but I was cut off. I tried to have a conversation about the bird, but I was not allowed to. I was accused of subterfuge, when it just was not true. The bird literally caused zero issues for the staff. Dogs will leave fur everywhere, they could mildly scratch the floors, so I get the fee for a dog.
I checked the website later, and true, it says pets other than dogs are not allowed. However, it also does not say that the fee will be automatically charged if the pet policy is violated (albeit unknowingly). As a result, this hotel stole $50 from me. That is misdemeanor petty theft.
Yes I came back after getting my receipt to give the staff a piece of my mind. I could not let the theft go.
The manager or owner will likely reply to this review and offer some sort of

The property was under construction, which we were made aware of, upon booking. The front desk staff were excited about the property being updated. Overall, our room was okay, not the nicest we’ve stayed at, but good enough for a weekend away. The included breakfast was your average hot breakfast with waffles, eggs, bacon, toast, oatmeal, and tamales which were good.
There seems to be an issue with ants. We had a few ants in our bathroom, mainly on the floor. We also saw a trail of ants on the wall in the seating area for breakfast.

Hotel under construction. We were not told about this when booking. Elevator was broken, and we were on the third floor. Charging for parking is annoying. Most places in Pismo do not charge.

For the price, I would have expected a luxury experience. In fact the hotel is long overdue for some renovations. The carpets in the hallway are peeling and the walls are chipped. In fact, a renovation is underway -- a fact that was not shared until we had made a non-cancelable reservation. The pillows are uncomfortable foam pillows. The breakfast was served in an overcrowded room and the choices were very limited and disappointing.
On top of it all, they charge my credit card $15 for parking but never disclosed it. I will not be returning.

The view and included breakfast was great. Nice little balcony.
the elevator was out of service, but they made right on it. they offered someone to take up our luggage and when we checked out we were completely surprised, that refunded 1/3 the cost of the room because of it. totally un-requested or anything.

Well to be frank, nothing really caught my eye. The whole place was some kind of eyesore that I didn’t expect to see.
Unfortunately, everything. The bathroom is nasty and dirty. The room is even more atrocious and messy, I even believe we saw some items from previous guests left in the room. And my God the food was unbearably terribly. I couldn’t stomach any of the food. :(

Great location for a really nice hotel. Long drive from San Fran and it was great to get a dip in the pool and some sun. Room is lovely and coffee is very good, plus a free cookie. Dinner at next door restaurant was very good and 10% off voucher for hotel guests. Views are brilliant. Morning fog meant we could not enjoy it before we left in morning. Fabulous place.
Large population of Pelicans, so it smells a wee bit fishy when wind blows, but not an issue for us.

View was excellent and room was clean
I booked the room. 1 yr in advance since I was getting married there and requested a room overlooking the gazebo area at wedding location. 2 days before check in they called and said building was being g renovated so they had to give me a different room in different building. The lobby was also being renovated so it took 10.mins to find their make shift lobby which was a desk in the corner next to the elevators that didn't work either. After walking up 3 floors to my room carrying my luggage, wedding dress and bags i make it to my room to find AC not working. Room was mediocre with old, worn furniture. Bathroom was very nice. I was never offered any compensation, discount or upgrade for the inconvenience. Probably wouldn't stay again

Excellent location with helpful staff. There was some renovation going on so the lobby is temporarily relocated and registration desk is very basic.
We had a small issue with ants in our room but after reporting it, the problem was taken care of to our satiafaction.

Great location to relax. This review is for Pesmo Lighthouse Suite. Room was awesome, breakfast was also good. If you are with Kids, this is one of the best place to stay and relax. Limited but useful amenities.
Nothing that I disliked but they have serious issue with payment software. I am still seeing charges in my card thought full payment was made through booking.com. I spoke with them before leaving and they assured that charges will be void after you checkout, but that did not happen yet. Need to followup again or will have to raise dispute with the back (worst case).

Great location, we were able to enjoy the 4th of July fireworks from their pool area. We were at a distance where it wasn’t a madhouse to find parking or enjoy the festivities for such a busy holiday. Breakfast was delicious.
Balcony view was not facing the pier, but we were able to quickly solve that problem by heading to the pool area.

the neighbors next door kept slamming the door, and a little busy because of stairs. but that was just inconsiderate guest.
Also more than usually sea gulls, a little annoying also.
