Room window had a busted slab, could see right into the room from the street. i asked for it to be addressed, since at that price this was insane, and the manager told me he would bring me extra towels to shove into the blinds. Then never brought the towels. It was the WORST.

Quiet hidden gem

I took a solo trip to pismo after splitting up with my significant other of almost 8 years. I had stayed at this hotel in the past and found it to be pretty close to the pier. It is situated in an established part of pismo, but I found it to be safe and clean.
