The overall stay was pretty good, and there was not much to complain about, with not very many extras provided. The room was a little better than average in cleanliness and actually had a pleasant smell and was quiet. The layout is pretty simple so don't expect a lot of bells and whistles but it was just enough room for myself, my wife, and a 6 year old sharing a king bed, and we had our small dog with us which was fine. The bed was decent but the pillows were a little flat, however I was promptly provided with two more pillow upon request and those two were nice n plump.
The location is pretty darn good, and only two short blocks away from Pismo Beach Pier. I wasn't thrilled that the hotel didn't want people to leave dogs unattended, because as long as the dogs in a crate I can't see how much harm can be caused. The room doesn't have curtains so it wasn't possible to black out the room which was a bit unpleasant in the early morning.
If you plan on hitting the beach with your pup, or just hanging around town chillin I'd say go ahead and give this hotel a try. The location is pretty spot on but the parking can get very cramped and was full pretty quickly. Just don't expect a lot of extras. Make sure to bring extra cold drinks and snacks as there isn't anything to buy at the hotel.
