Top Downtown Pismo Beach Hotel Reviews

Edgewater Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"AMAZING location!!! Walking distance of basically everywhere you’ll want to visit. The room was clean, but pretty run down. The staff were kind. Breakfast as all prepackaged type gray and go items and some poor quality fruit choices. We would stay here again because of the location."

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property and nice breakfast. My only regret is taking a room on first floor with a wall view? If I was assigned a room a few doors down it at least would have had a shorter wall with some sky. So be aware with the non ocean view rooms ( although I was prepared for that but not literally a wall out of porch)."

Inn at the Pier Pismo Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Staff was great! Rooms were nice. Shower tiles need repaired. Microwave would have been nice. Rooftop was amazing. The whole family and kids enjoyed the rooftop view, seating was amazing, small pool but enough to cool off, bar and Dining. Location perfect."

Oxford Suites Pismo Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Oxford Suites is always my preferred stay when I am in the Pismo Beach area. Staff are always helpful, check-in is smooth, and rooms are always clean and well stocked with toiletries. Only small complaint is I cannot have a printed receipt with amount paid for the stay (receipt printed by the desk clerk shows zero amount paid - need this for work related reimbursement from employer)."

SeaVenture Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We will definitely be staying here again. Every staff member was very nice and helpful, staff went above and beyond to decorate my room with rose petals, champagne and chocolate covered strawberries and they also kept it all a secret from my husband so I was able to surprise him. I love our private hot tub with ocean views. The bed was very comfy."
