Amazing like always
Pros:

The 3pm wine taster was so awesome. Being able to be in the property before check in helped a lot because we travel from far away and being able to just relax in the swing or get in the pool was awesome

Cons:

The pool was not heated at night

Ocean was beautiful and stay was comfortable.
Pros:

Ocean front rooms. The patios swings.

Cons:

Ice machine was broken, got lost getting to my room was late at night they could have walked us, pool and spa area have a certain time frame. It would have been nice to be able to go out after the kids are asleep. Trays to take back breakfast to rooms would be nice.

Pros:

Great spot and great value for the money when we travelled. Get a room with a balcony, you could sit there all day watching the ocean to sea what would next appear.

Cons:

All good.

Beautiful property at a reasonable price
Pros:

Inn at the Cove is a beautiful property with clean, spacious rooms and wonderful views. The staff was friendly, the property was easy to find, and overall, it felt comfortable and well-maintained. The breakfast is ok, although the breakfast room can get crowded because the space is fairly small. Go into Pismo and eat a real breakfast (I like the Honeymoon Cafe).

One thing to know: many rooms require going downstairs, so if stairs are an issue, do not assume the elevator will solve it (it only goes to a few rooms). This is especially important if you are older or traveling with heavy suitcases. That said, the hotel is reasonably priced for the location and quality, and I would definitely stay again — I would just make sure to request a room that does not require carrying luggage downstairs.

HEAVEN
Pros:

We were greeted and checked in by Martin who was so incredibly kind, welcoming and accommodating. Our room was way nicer than the pics, super clean and high-end feeling with a STUNNING view. We sat in bliss on our deck watching the ocean and birds and didn’t even want to leave to go to dinner. We called in food to enjoy.
The next morning we got coffee in hotel and then walked down to their PRIVATE beach! It was like a movie scene with a beautiful walk down and the cleanest water with kelp and stone sand.

OMG this was the absolute best stay we cannot wait to go back! A little piece of heaven.

Perfect relaxing place
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was amazing, very convenient, and everything was extremely clean and well maintained. The hotel was spotless, and the free parking was a huge plus and made everything even easier for us.

The staff and reception team were so kind, welcoming, and professional. A special thank you to Martin at the reception — he was extremely professional, polite, and very helpful throughout our stay. The team also gave us great recommendations, which we truly appreciated.

The room was very comfortable, the bed was clean and cozy, and we loved having a coffee machine in the room. The continental breakfast in the morning was very nice, and it was such a thoughtful touch that coffee was available all day at no extra charge.

Everything about this place was perfect, from the service to the atmosphere. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

Great location and nicely kept up
Pros:

Great location and views of ocean and rocky shore

Cons:

Bed was very hard. Staff noted that they were new mattresses but perhaps they might have been tested before installation?
