My family and I enjoy staying here. The property is well kept, friendly staff. We love the cottages as they a very accommodating for family’s with kids and pets. It’s in a very safe area. They also have bike rentals available on property with little baskets if you don’t feel like taking the car downtown. Overall I highly recommend staying here.

Room could have been cleaner. Beds are OK. AC is pretty loud. Lobby staff was good. Check in/check out was smooth. Nice view from our room and good location. Overall good but, could be better for price.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here until about 8pm, when the upstairs guests began making constant noise that went on until at least 3am. My husband eventually had to bang on the ceiling to get them to quiet down. We’re talking heavy footsteps, furniture being dragged, loud bangs from things dropping, and voices so loud we could hear them even with the AC and TV turned up. While I don’t hold this against the Inn itself (the reviews we read suggest this isn’t a common occurrence), the experience was frustrating enough to make us hesitant about staying again. That said, the Inn does have a lot going for it: it’s very cute, conveniently close to Downtown Pismo and the pier, and the dog fee is unbeatable for the area. Staff was very friendly, check-in was a breeze, and our room was clean and surprisingly spacious for its size. My recommendation for future guests: request a top-floor room, or consider booking a cottage, beach house, or ocean-view room to avoid the noise issue we experienced.
