Top Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum Hotel Reviews

Spyglass Inn

8/10 Good

"We loved the location of the hotel, private with lovely landscaping and a great place to bring our dog. We wish it had a microwave! We were charged $10 a day for parking and $75 a day for our dog. For three nights that adds up to a lot on top of the room rate. Most hotels charge a pet rate for your stay, not per night. Bed needed to be replaced and the fold out sofa was uncomfortable as a sofa and looked like a FB marketplace find. Did not match decor at all. It’s summer so we weren’t surprised at the extra charges. We know this keeps Pismo and Shell Beach up and running for the year."

Oxford Suites Pismo Beach

6/10 Okay

"The hotel itself was nice, but a major inconvenience was the lack of an elevator in the Courtyard area. We were traveling with children and carrying luggage up and down the stairs was very difficult. If you are staying with kids, strollers, or have mobility concerns, this is something to be aware of before booking. An elevator would greatly improve the guest experience"

Villa Motel

10/10 Excellent

"After a long, exhausting day driving up on Hwy 101, I called three hotels in the area looking for a late check-in around 10 PM. Villa Motel stood out immediately — the staff was by far the friendliest on the phone and didn't hesitate to accommodate me. The room was spotless and well maintained. Knowing I needed rest, they kindly allowed a late check-out too, which made a world of difference after a tiring day on the road. What truly set this place apart was the checkout experience. When I asked about a nearby café for a good chai latte, the owner went above and beyond — offering me a complimentary cup and a snack on the house. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and deeply appreciated. Parking was free and easy, great access to Hwy 101, quiet surroundings, and outstanding value. This is exactly the kind of place road trippers dream of finding. Highly recommend and will absolutely be back!"
