Sandcastle Hotel on the Beach
Make sure you ask ahead of time about the 30 dollar charge for parking. I wasn’t aware if it until I went to check out and it advised me. There is plenty of street parking. The pillows are horrible the bed was okay the room was clean

We stayed 3 nights here and were very happy with our experience. Stayed in a partial ocean view room with balcony and it was a nice setup. Staff was very friendly and the complimentary breakfast each day and location was very convenient. Can definitely imagine staying here again during a future Pismo ...
