Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean, great price, super pleasant staff. Judging by the name you'd think there'd be sand everywhere in the room. Not the case. Surprisingly clean. Bit noisy with street traffic in morning but maybe ask for back bldg away from street. Got in at midnight so didnt see until morning but next door was a liquor/convenience/deli. Less than a minute drive to the main Pismo Beach access. Took kid surf fishing in morning. We are used to more hotels in SLO than motels, but we would 100% book a room here again. Generally speaking, no negatives, only positives! Thanks!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
As we walked to the room we were dismayed to see the condition of the external walkways and stairs. What was left of the outdoor carpet was very dirty. We took a look at the room and thought it was going to be an unpleasant night. Then we smelled the room and knew we could not stay there. We turned the key back in at the desk and drove away to find another hotel. By the way, the pictures on hotels.com lead one to think that this property is on the beach. It is not.
