The room was very clean, well appointed. I got a room with corner windows with a great view of the waves, beach, and sunset. Great location. Courteous staff. Will stay again.
Check in staff was so friendly, professional, and thorough. Room was amazing! Exceptionally clean and amenities were perfect! The entire hounds were so clean, spacious and very comfortable! We will be back!

Simple and cute, great location to bars and restaurants
Our room was very clean and ready for us! The Tides has always been our place to stay before and after renovations. We the location! The views are stunning. We love.
I had an amazing stay at this cozy little cottage in Pismo Beach. The space was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxing, homey feel from the moment I walked in. It’s just a short walk from the beach, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the ocean.
Beautiful property! Was extremely impressed of the location and ease of parking. Room had AC included and coffee in room and lobby area. Will stay at again.

Great location and nice property. Nice room with cozy beds. No microwave but I heated some to go food in the lobby. Our shower was a bit mildewy smelling but tolerable. We walked next door to get some beach access and gorgeous views of one of our favorite places!
Pros: it was a nice size room with nice hardwood floors and tiles. It was nicely decorated and clean. The bed was form and had great pillows. It was next door to a restaurant. There was enough parking and the property was clean.
Cons: the water pressure in the bathroom sink and shower was just a trickle (I’m not exaggerating) and was heavily with softener solution in the water. The opening to the shower was tight, and the refrigerator was loud.

Parking etc was great. Food good. Service good. It’s stuck in the past, so has a 1990s feel, but price is so reasonable.
