Relaxing stay with great views

I highly recommend staying at the Spyglass Inn. The location on the cliffs above Pismo Beach provides stunning views of the coastline. There are 3 firepits where you can enjoy a bottle of wine or smores while enjoying the view. There is a walkway along the cliffs that provides access to several other nice hotels. Those hotels seem to have more amenities but are also more expensive. At the north end of the walkway is a stairway that takes you down to a large secluded beach. During low tide we saw lots of wildlife in the tidepools. If you can splurge for ocean view, you will not be disappointed. The partial view is also nice. You can also save your $$ with a no view room and walk 1 minute to the large grassy area to enjoy the view. The pool and hot tub were also nice. The room and beds were comfortable. The lobby is small but has a fire place, coffee/ tea/ water, and some board games. The DePalo Market is next door and has a wonderful selection of gourmet foods, wines and great deli and bakery. We bought our food here and enjoyed it at the firepits.

The location is pure perfection! We loved sitting by the fire ring and relaxing in the hot tub. Our favorite was walking along the shore.

Nice hotel and excellent location. The hotel is automated as far as check in and access. Its style is renovated boutique. Our room (102) was spacious and had amenities such as a fridge, kitchenette with sink, two burner stove, pots, pans, cutlery, dishes, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee maker and microwave. If you are not familiar with tech, you may have difficulty using the TV. Would definitely stay here again.
