Top South Palisades Hotel Reviews

La Serena Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Was surprised to see no more continental breakfast provided. There are also no longer providing customers body lotion in the rooms. Hopefully these cuts will be reflected in the room rates. Always clean and quiet. Close to all the sites. Love the premium t.v. channels when you are in at night. The bath towels could be a little fluffier. Would recommend for a nice quiet stay."

Inn at the Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was oceanfront with an awesome view. The bed was super comfortable and the room decor is great. The free breakfast was very much appreciated as well. The room was great, but could use some upgrades to the showerhead and toilet. Just replacing those 2 things would make the room perfect. The property is so well maintained and clean and included many areas to relax and enjoy the sunset and sun rise over the ocean. We will definitely include this place as one of our go to hotels in Pismo Beach."

Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are very nice and clean. Breakfast was ok. BBQ dinner was just ok. Small burger and chicken breasts. Unlimited beer and wine is great though they only have red and white, I only drink blush (and don't like beer). I like this place much more than Embassy Suites or Best Western. We'll be back for sure."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham San Luis Obispo Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"After 2 weeks long of driving through California and jumping around to hotels, this hotel was one of several well-known options in SLO. The other options were notably more expensive. If you’re looking for an elevated experience, great rooms and amenities and save a little money, this is the place! This hotel is beautiful, not your standard “La Quinta”- very elevated with unique architecture and decor. Another VERY notable item to mention is how comfortable the beds were, as well as the quality of the linens! I slept better there than I’ve slept throughout several other stops. 5-stars!"

Pacific Point Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great and freshly refurbished. The pool was very nice and large compared to the other ones that we saw on the neighboring hotels. The location was great on the cliff and easy walking down to the beach. There were a lot of seagulls and pelicans which created a mess around the grounds and in the parking lot and at times there was a large odor because of the birds, other than that, we had a fantastic time."
