The rooms were clean, comfortable and smart, the pool was great, whilst not included in the rate the breakfast was delicious, and the view of the sea and access to the beach superb. The chicken kebabs from the store up the road were delicious too!

Some staff were a bit snooty as we did not want valet parking, and you then had to find parking the other side of the road. This was different to most other hotels outside the big cities we stayed at on our trip where parking was not two tiered and more relaxed. The charges they temporarily place on your card then refund - what’s that all about?

We booked two Partial Ocean View rooms, each with two Queen beds. The staff at check-in was very friendly and pleasant. The rooms were a nice size and the partial view of the ocean was great and the location can not be beat. Public access to the beach was a short walk away and the views from the back of the hotel property were amazing. We met Aaron, the concierge, upon our arrival and he was welcoming and fun to talk to about the area. We enjoyed cocktails and dinner at the hotel restaurant, Marisol. The food, drinks and service were excellent. The hotel is a short drive away from downtown Pismo Beach and Avila Beach - great location!

We did have one minor suggestion regarding the complimentary morning coffee service in the lobby. During our stay, we noticed that the coffee seemed to run out before 9:00 am each day. It would greatly enhance the guest experience if coffee was available until at least 9:30 am, if not 10:00 am.

I seriously loved everything about this resort. It was perfect in every way! Every valet attendant, Every desk attendant, Every bartender/Server at Marisol.... Everyone was so nice and helpful! The beds were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The shower had great water pressure and the lotions/shampoos/body washes smelled so good! The view every morning and every evening was perfect. The fire pits,. The walk along the coast.. Seriously THE BEST!!!

Ugh.. This was a tough one. A. We were on the 3rd floor and there were noisy kids. I wish we could have been on the adults only floor which I believe was 4 and 5. B. Kids were supposed to be out of the pool! Hot tub by 9pm and they weren't... So we didn't take advantage. And C. The walls are kinda thin.. So you will hear things you just don't want to in the room next to you. 🫣

I can not wait to return for a visit. This place was perfect. The other upgrade views where taken and now I know why. Its beautiful right on a cliff. We walked around and I felt like I picked the best hotel. I could walk down to the water with stairs they have at the end of the cliff. Super neat to walk down and watch the tide coming in. I also paid for a side view. And it was worth it. It was just clean and with amazing staff that made everything so easy at check in and check out. With the car and questions I had. They was just instantly welcoming. I never swim at anything but the pool is heated just right. So got to swim in the huge pool. We did use the gym in the morning. Also the restaurant was a phone call away down stairs, we made reservations with just a button away and although this isn't the restaurants review. It was such amazing food. And I highly recommend the salad with the lolly lamb chops. It was delicious. With my blanket and heater to enjoy the outside view. Talk about thoughtful. Thank you everyone at this beautiful hotel for making our stay perfect.

We loved the grounds, the pool and firepits were great. The room was nice and comfortable. The front desk staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful. Maintenance was also very helpful.... it was unfortunate that we needed them.

We found items like lipstick and a pill under our bed. The A/C was not working consistently but maintenance brought us fans and we put them by the door and had a sufficient breeze in the room. Also the refrigerator was not working, we told maintenance. We would still go back and give it another try, staff was very friendly and helpful. There was also a restaurant next door, Marisol's and the rib eye steak was worth the price. Very good.

The room was big - with an ocean view! Comfortable beds. Great water pressure. Great balcony. I went for a quick getaway to see the ocean and sit by a pool and this exceeded my expectations. The service is excellent. All the staff are friendly and especially appreciated Aaron's hospitality with bringing us bottles of water and great knowledge of the area. I will definitely come back. Pool is heated to the perfect temperature. The restaurant Mirasol is lovely. We wanted to sit on the patio for breakfast but it was a little bit chilly so they brought us blankets and put on the heat lamps. It was just perfect. You can walk to the beach from the hotel.

The staff were amazing, they were so friendly and helpful and even remembered our names. We ate at the restaurant Marisol and it was delicious! We were able to sit on the patio and watch the sunset while eating dinner and they had heaters by the table and even offered blankets! The pool was heated so we were able to swim at night and in the morning which was perfect. Our room had a partial ocean view and it made the stay even better it was so nice to be able to walk on the balcony and just watch the ocean from the room. This hotel is also a 10 min drive to the pier if you are wanting to visit there. If you are planning on visiting Pismo Beach soon I highly recommend staying here you will feel like you are on vacation in Hawaii. So beautiful 10000/10

Comfy beds. View from outside. Pool. Restaurants.

Room was not clean well enough. Bathroom counters had product from last people. Outside balcony had drink stains. The refrigerator did not work. Pillows had stains. I decided not to complain at time due to just literally being to relax and let go but it did seem like these things should have been covered prior to my stay. Also the view was not as great as it was Advertised. I was looking at a tree and had to have a very unique angle to see any ocean. Just seemed unfair to be charged the eves money for that view.

The property is well-appointed and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The shuttle service from the train station was prompt and accommodating despite several delays to our arrival. Our server at the restaurant was impeccable, as was the food. We had a wonderful time walking the bluffs, through the neighborhoods, tide-pooling, and watching the sunset sky from the pool and hot tub. I loved hearing the ocean waves and seeing the sliver of coastline through our open window all night.

Several staff members misgendered my long-haired son, calling us "ladies," which was annoying, especially given his typically male attire of a collared button-down shirt and slacks. While I expect the intent was simply to make a child feel grown up and special, since visually identifying a child's gender can often be tricky, using language like "you two" or "you and your guest" or "young companion" takes the guesswork out while being equally polite and inclusive. Asking and using his name to address him directly would have also made a great impression (as our server made a point to do).

A lovely hotel about 3hours from LAX for an one night 2 day stopover in LA. A treat for our last night of holidays. And wasn't it a treat. Hired a car, and arrived to Valet parking (extra), a beautiful comfortable room, and the most friendliest Hotel and Restaurant staff I have ever experienced. Sadly the weather wasn't in our favour, so swimming and hopping in spa wasn't on our list, but it didn't stop others as it was heated. The food, views, staff and decore at the Marisol Restaurant was sensational. There is an ocean walk path to enjoy as well.
