Find Oceanfront Hotels in Shell Beach, Pismo Beach from CA $126

"Excellent room location. Perfect ocean view. The only negative was mildew around shower and rotten baseboards in the bathroom which was kind of disgusting but we covered it with a towel. They really should be replaced!"

"Absolute "WOW" factor—A Coastal Gem in Pismo! We cannot say enough good things about our stay at the Inn at the Cove. The grounds are incredibly beautiful and well-kept, and almost every spot on the property offers a breathtaking view. Our room featured a lovely balcony where we enjoyed dinner and a stunning sunset—it was a highlight of our trip. The property is designed for relaxation; we loved the large swing chairs, the Adirondack chairs perched on the cliff, and the peaceful walking paths. Even with other guests, the property felt calm, quiet, and private. It was also perfectly located—just a short drive to the Pismo Beach Pier where our 15-year-old son spent several hours meeting new friends in the evening. The breakfast was substantial: fresh DIY waffles, fruit, sausage, scrambled eggs, and hard-boiled eggs (my favorite!). They even have high-quality coffee beans. One minor bit of feedback: the coffee machine fills the mugs quite high, making it tricky to add cream without spilling! We also loved the water bottle filling station and the pool/hot tub with a view. Most of all, we appreciated the standard noon checkout and water station, which let us enjoy the property a little longer before our drive up to Monterey. You’re right off the highway, but you’d hardly know it. We loved it!"

"Staff nice and helpful, clean, "

"Meh"

"We had a great stay. The breakfast area upstairs, above the lobby was perfect. I only wish there was whipped cream for the pancakes "

"Everything was great except the breakfast. breakfast wasn’t good at all, People working inside were very blahhh. Especially the guy serving the food. Check in staff was amazing."

"Overall it was a great stay. Location was amazing. When we first walked into our room it was a very strong cleaning comical "

"Clean, good location, updated bathroom and mattress. A/c and water pressure excellent. Our room was on the first floor directly across from the pool so a bit noisy and busy with high traffic."

"The spa was unkept. Green algae was present. They had no hot water for tea and stated they wouldn’t obtain any. The facility is old and only decently maintained. The bathroom tub barely drained. I paid for a no smoking room but there had been somebody smoking in it. I had to text the front desk because the people next to us were smoking on the balcony and it entered our room causing and asthma attack. There were not enough pillows. The housekeeping staff didn’t speak English and dismissed me when I spoke Spanish with them. I will not come back ever again. Nor will I recommend. I wish I could get a refund for my stay. "
