Location is great! and you can tell there were some updates but overall was a renovated Motel. My room smelled damp and smoky but all rooms are smoke free? Dirty/stained desk chair. A table too large for the space. You could barely get in on the right hand side of the bed. The pool was always murky and very uninviting so we skipped it. The bathroom looked old. Chipped and moldy paint. Old tile that had some mold as well. Beds were comfortable but the sheets were scratchy. Fire pits were few and although we were told they were for all we tried to use one close to a room and were told it was for them. Wouldn't recommend.

This was a great location. The property is wonderful, super clean. The location is amazing. Great views. The fire pits were awesome. Lots of seating area. The bistro area had lots of good options and hot options as well. The only drawback that I had was the room was no noisy in room 211 as the upstairs above us sounded like a herd of buffaloes running back-and-forth throughout night. Must not have good installation because we could hear upstairs.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Was a welcome rest for an otherwise busy holiday. Relaxing looking over the ocean was calming. The breakfast options are poor but serviceable and the one thing on my wish list would be a sun lounger to relax on as the chairs aren’t all that comfortable. The pub next door serves great food. All in all it was a wonderful stay and i would recommend.

We were looking for a last minute stay in pismo for Labor Day weekend. So glad we found cottage inn. We were able to bring our pup and were given a care package. The view from the private deck was the best. Very close walk to the pier but nice that it is a bit away from the crowds.

When I reserve hotels online in advance, I definitely request to be placed at a very quiet location and far away from busy foot traffic areas. But the day that I checked in, the front desk clerk told me that if I want this scenario, I'd better come to this Pismo Beach at different season. Then he went on and on to educate me about the timing that I came to this hotel was NOT in a quiet season :( How rude he was ?

Relaxing Stay by the ocean

I had the ocean view room, and it was absolutely incredible! The fire pits, the breathtaking view, and the soothing sound of the waves lulling me to sleep and waking me up were all so delightful. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the fireplace added a cozy ambiance to the room. Being able to easily walk down to the beach made morning beach strolls easy! Additionally, since I had an electric vehicle, I was pleased to find that there were a couple of charging stations available, making it a convenient stay. The staff was also incredibly lovely and accommodating, ensuring that my experience was nothing short of exceptional.
