Loved by guests
"We were upgraded to the ocean/beach corner room #9. It was wonderful to sit looking out the windows at the beach and watching the surfers."
"One of the best beachfront motels in California at its price."
"The location is absolutely amazing beachfront/steps from the pier/walking distance to downtown and even with the amazing location, Jimmy at check-in managed to be the best part of the visit."

“This beachfront motel places you right by Pismo Pier, and I think that's its strongest suit.
