Horrendous and incredibly bad value for money
Pros:

Not very much at all I’m afraid.

Cons:

The food was the worst we’ve experienced in the US by some distance. The room was small. The sofa bed was so uncomfortable my kids couldn’t sleep. $1100 for one night - an absolute rip off. And the location was a total waste of time.

Love the atmosphere and location - but some employees were rude.
Pros:

Love the location and the atmosphere.

Cons:

I encountered a bartender that doesn’t like her job, she did a horrible job making my drink and then tried to fix the existing one by just pouring more alcohol on top.

When I received my receipt upon checkout the hotel was trying to charge me the tourism tax and resort fee that was already paid when I paid booking.com and when I expressed this to her she became very rude and said she doesn’t know why it would say that but said she’d waive the fees as a courtesy - she continuously cut me off when speaking and was extremely rude.

Will probably never stay there again.
Pros:

Clean and modern room. Nice dinning facility. Good food.

Cons:

We requested an accessible room and got one, how ever the bed was so low to the floor it was extremely difficult to get out of the bed. The distance from the top of the bed frame to the top of the mattress was only about two inches and sank down to less than that when trying to get out. This caused the bed frame (wooden with sharp edge) to put too much pressure on the legs resulting in a lot of pain and some bruising. The room seem to be designed to force you out. For instance it would be nice to have a small table and two chairs for playing cards or eating a snack. There was only one comfortable chair and one straight back chair (uncomfortable) so if two people want to watch TV one needs to use the bed.

Great spot, too $$
Pros:

Great property. We liked the staff and found them generally helpful. But it is overpriced for the level of service you receive. We got there early and waited for our room. We had requested an early check-in but knew it was a gamble. I kept checking with the front desk and they assured me they would call when the room was ready. So I left them alone. Finally went back when it was well past the time our room should have been ready (check-in is at 4) and they said the room was ready. And said they hadn’t called because they were short-staffed. Valet took my car but didn’t charge it. These were minor things but just not what I expect for $800/night.

1 week stay
Pros:

The nicest dog friendly resort on the coast. Staff was very friendly and professional. Food on the Starlight lawn and the Pequin coastal Cocina is very good! And of course, the best location in Pismo to walk out onto the boardwalk, Pier and beach at any time of day or night.

Okay
Pros:

Really nice view of the beach from the room! Conveniently located in the heart of pismo beach so everything is very walkable. I brought my dog. Although the hotel is advertised as being pet friendly, there is no immediate grassy area for pet relief. Valet parking only (about additional $45)
