Over the past few decades, I've stayed at the majority of hotels in Pismo Beach. Here's my review of the Lighthouse Suites.
I would like to thank Vanessa at the front desk for putting tthis VIP in probably the worst room overlooking the noisy playground area and underneath the family that was constantly practicing for the "Riverdance" revival. I guess this is how they treat Expedia VIP members? Maybe if I were a Gold member, I'd get a room overlooking the noisy overclorinated pool. Okay, so the bottle of wine was a nice touch... too bad they only had white and I only drink red.
I did particularly enjoy the snoring gentleman next door and my kids loved the woman constantly talking on her phone in the room next door. [/sarcasm]
The aforementioned play area does have a variety of games for the young ones, so there's that.
The views are nice as well. Unfortunately there are no places to sit to ENJOY the view unless you hit the boardwalk where there are lots of chairs and fire pits... at the other hotels.
Okay, okay, say somehing NICE, Matt! Alright, the rooms ARE nice and big and your family will enjoy them, but be prepared, there are other families with undisciplined screaming children around.
Forget going to the gym for your stairmaster workout as the 91 steps coming back from the lovely beach will do the trick.
This was definitely cheaper than an Air-B-N-B but next time, I'll opt for Air-B-N-B
