It was a very nice property. We had come up to the area early and checked in at 8:30. Our room still wasn’t ready till four . We were hoping we could get in a couple hours early at least or that they were try. It didn’t seem that busy there. Property was beautiful.

Out of service/room description

It was sad to see that the jacuzzi was out of service. The wife and I really wanted to soak in the jacuzzi after our long day of driving.😢 The person above us walked so hard we thought the ceiling was going to come down on us. The pool/ocean view was more of a pool view and not much of an ocean view. Lots of stair getting to your room, if you have a lower level room, not fun using.

Great view up on the cliff

Decided on this place because it offered access to a beach. The beachfront room had a great view of the water. The free breakfast was nice as was the heated pool. The only knock on it was that the bed wasn't super comfortable.

Very nice rooms with a good ocean view. Paved walking path passes between the hotel and ocean. There are benches, tables and hammock chairs spotted along the way. Stairs from the path lead to a nice beach cove with a cave. Breakfast was above the standard serve yourself that is typical. Fresh fruit, berries, and very good coffee to name a few things. Five minute drive from the pier and restaurants. Will stay here again.

25th Anniversary

We booked the Inn at the Cove in Pismo for our 25th Wedding Anniversary! We cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is. The views are spectacular, the rooms are clean and comfortable with beautiful balcony ocean views! Martin, management and all the staff were amazing in making our special day perfect by adding rose petals and champagne in our room on our anniversary. We will definitely be adding Inn at the Cove on our list of places to come to several times a year.
