Top Pismo Beach Hotel Reviews

Cottage Inn By The Sea

Cottage Inn By The Sea

8/10 Good
"The hotel could use some refreshing. Our room was very small. The closet was so small and narrow that a small travel suitcase couldn’t fit in it. We had to put in on a stand in the entryway, which was awkward. The room and bathroom were clean, but the bathroom had no fan and only four hooks under shelf above the toilet to hang towels or anything on. The door faced the entry door a few feet away which faced another room’s entry door a few feet away, so one had to be careful! We paid extra for a partial sea view which was just a glimpse through lower buildings, but mostly a view of the roof and parking lot. On the whole, it wasn’t a relaxing space to hang out, but fine as a “home base.” Since it was the off season and the hotel was not remotely full, it would have been nice to be offered a better room. The hotel did send us many messages via Expedia to upgrade (at a cost) but the links all had “upselling” written into them, so I never even clicked on them. Also, you have to pay for parking - $12 a night. It wasn’t a bad stay, but we would not stay there again."
