Oxford Suites Pismo Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I will definitely be staying here again. Nice to have a separate sitting area. Bathroom was okay - needed grab bars or switch out the tub for a walk in shower IMO. No hot water the first morning but they were quick to fix the issue. The evening drink and snack was an added bonus. The breakfast was unbelievable! Each morning the hot items switched up. They also had made to order eggs. Great yogurt with fruit and granola. Waffle station. Hot oatmeal each day. Well worth it. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day. Very clean, towels were always available, comfortable loungers with shade if you wanted it. The only downside was I was traveling with a group of 4 women and 2 of us brought cash only. We were told when we checked in that the hotel does not take cash. So there was a bit of frantic maneuvering having 2 of us put the entire stay in our cards. We did not have a dog with us but they gave a wonderful fenced in dog area with grass and benches for those who travel with their pets."
