Our bathroom sink would not drain - staff came and jammed a rod down the sink, and caused it to leak all over the floor. They said it was "slow" to drain. We demanded a refund and got Management confirmation of a refund. We had to book a different hotel and move. It was a disaster.

The location of this hotel was perfect! Close to the freeway, walking distance to restaurants, the beach and very close to Pismo Beach and SLO. There was a great coffee shop right next-door. The hotel itself was adequate. It was nice having an extra bedroom since there was four of us. It could definitely use some updates, but overall, we were very satisfied. I would definitely recommend more hooks and/or towel bars. Also, it would be nice to have a nightstand on both sides of the bed. I would stay here again.

Clean and complete

This room was very clean. Took less than 2 minutes to check in. No fuss. Needed a room for overnight stay for the classic car show. This place did not disappoint. Had everything you need. Great coffee shop next door.
