Construction overwhelmed relaxation
Pros:

There was construction being done at the time of my visit. The sole purpose of the trip for to celebrate my daughter’s 40th birthday and to just relax. I was not aware of the construction until our arrival. There should have been a notice at booking that they were under construction. Hearing hammers and drills over the sound of the the ocean is not relaxing.

Great stay
Pros:

Highly recommend! The hotel is beautiful and clean with great amenities and a staff that was highly customer service focused. It was right on the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The onsite restaurant and bar were good and we ate there several times. There’s also quite a few fire pits and chairs with bar/food service. The rooms were modern and airy and smelled wonderful!We will definitely be back!

Good but Value for price was Lacking
Pros:

The check in was delayed. It was a busy weekend with CalPoly graduation but it was as if they planned for the check in to be late. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay. Nice facilities well maintained. Not worth 1500 a night tho.

Lovely Beachfront retreat
Pros:

Service was amazing, the front desk staff (Brian and Courtney) helped me get the right rooms for my family, provide a gift bag for the graduate, and helped me locate a couple of items I’d misplaced. Not to mention the dining room, they helped set up our grad night dinner with 9 people moving our reservation up last minute. Additionally the rooms were very spacious, lovely decor, comfortable beds, marble tiled bathrooms with elegant fixtures.

Have Granddaughter, Will Travel... to Vespera.
Pros:

Vespera resort is very convenient, on the boardwalk near the Pismo pier, the beach a few steps down and near many restaurants and shopping. The staff is wonderful. The 2- queen bed rooms are comfortable for a couple with two small children. The pool area is large enough with convenient bar and grill service. Staying out after dark on the patio, even when chilly, is great if one can snag one of the gas fireplaces. We've stayed many times now with our granddaughter who loves the proximity to the beach, the spa pool afterward and the ice cream shop a few blocks away!

Not worth the price - it has lost its charm
Pros:

We did keyless, which would have been great... but you need a card key to power the room and Keyless only works on one device... so you still have to get a card key if others are staying with you.
The outside bar is under construction... wasn't too bad, but they also didn't provide a slight compensation for the eyesore in the middle of their grounds.
The pool is tiny.... Enough said.
Driveway is completely catastrophic and tight. - especially if people don't know how to keep the cars moving along.
Valet parking is $50/day - some surrounding hotels don’t even charge
Staff gave false guidance on when to ask for late check out - so when I asked the response was “ Hello, unfortunately we do not have anymore late check-outs available.” - Anymore? How is this allocated? As a Bonvoy Gold member I expected better.
We’ve stayed here several times and this trip showed it has lost its appeal/charm

Great lace to meet
Pros:

The staff made sure to personally connect with us from our formal meetings to the front desk to restaurant staff and the bartender. They were all vested to ensure we had a great experience at their facility.

Too expensive for the flaws
Pros:

The overall stay was just mediocre, which would be ok for a hotel that was cheaper. Main reasons were
Pool bar was under construction
Tidiness of the room was sub par (tufts of hair on the ground, lotion bottle under the bed, plastic trash on the desk ....)
General untidiness of the pool area (towels weren't collected, etc.)
Front desk was generally not very attentive (didn't ask about experience when we left....)

Valet was very quick.

For the price point it was not good enough.

Exactly what you think a beach hotel on pacific coast should be.
Pros:

Great location and iconic view of Pacific Coast. Enjoyed outdoor areas with fire tables watching ocean waves rolling in to shore. Rooms and meeting area with audio visual capabilities worked out well

Great place to get away 😄
Pros:

Beautiful room really great guest check and services great bar great valet I have no complaints I feel extremely welcome and valued as a customer I would totally go back again... I was traveling with my elderly mother but I believe this would be a great place to go as a couple next time my boyfriend and I wouldn't go for a getaway as well.

Overpriced - Negatives outweigh the positives.
Pros:

Probably would not stay here again. Pros; nice room and location, decent service. Cons: Have stayed here twice, and both times there were noisy events in the large outdoor area immediately off the lobby. This area was off limits to hotel guests, who were relegated to tiny sitting area near the pool and right next to the noisy event. Pool is quite small - website photo is deceptive, and it's a construction zone. Added negative was $50 daily valet parking fee with no self-parking lot and no alternatives other than unavailable street parking. $45 daily resort fee for stuff I don't want - whisky tasting? No thanks. Room cleaning service - it's not automatic, you have to ask for it, but they don't tell you this at check-in.
