I really like this the place. Clean is an understatement. Staff is super friendly. Nice covered seating area, with a fire pit. Convenient to excellent restaurants, and a local market just up the street. Cant go wrong. We've stayed two years in row, and am already planning a third.

Foxs Getaway

We had a great stay the hotel was close to restaurants, bars, and of course the beach. Parking was safe and plenty of room. The hotel room was nice, updated and very clean. The outside lounge area we used was very cool to hang out and even had outlets for your phone and a nice fire ring. We will stay again!!

Good value close to beach

It’s a pretty efficient little room with hard floors Fridge and microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. The plastic end tables are really small and a little too far from the bed so that could use improvement. I love the covered area across the parking lot with several comfortable chairs and tables and heated pit.

Comfortable, clean, convenient hotel

Comfortable bed. Clean room. Close to everything. It was conveniently located to the beach & town. We parked our car & walked where we needed to go the whole weekend… it’s just a few blocks to the beach. It was quiet for our stay. There isn’t a swimming pool but we’re there for the beach so not a problem for us. No breakfast but coffee is available to make in your room, again not a problem for us, we enjoy getting our own breakfast/coffee when we come to Pismo. It’s a well kept hotel. They don’t service the room during your stay but was very responsive to our requests for more towels & garbage removal. They kept in touch with us via text & we liked this unintrusive approach. Staff was friendly & helpful!

In the front desk area they had everything you needed in case you forgot a razor or toothpaste. The front desk agent was also incredibly welcoming. The room was such a beach vibe I loved it.

For $100 a night this is a great deal considering very walkable and great location. For what we paid ($300+ per night) almost comical.
