Beautiful and great amenities

Gorgeous ocean views from every room, and a heated pool and hot tub made this place perfect. It is quiet, but only a 5 minute drive to pismo pier. They also have an incredible complimentary breakfast spread and wine tasting daily

Everything was really beautiful at this hotel, except for one thing the lady that was doing the breakfast in the morning was the rudest person I have ever met in my life. She was talking crap under her breath about us getting there three minutes early she was standing by the door like some intimidating bodyguard. She was not personable whatsoever. I highly suggest you train this Lunch lady you have serving breakfast. She’s a bad representation of your property. Rude as all hell.
