I enjoyed my stay and will come again.
Pros:

The view was beautiful. Very quiet rooms. The beds were very comfortable. Only problem I had was the toilets were very low and hard for me to use. I had to have my care giver help me get off the seat.

Cons:

The low height of the toilet seats. I am recovering from hip surgery. I would have gotten a handicapped room but wanted the beautiful view.

A Solid Stay with Pelicans galore!!
Pros:

The location is at the water’s edge. The atmosphere is chill and delightful! The room was just right and comfortable. It’s a good value! The pelicans, gulls and cormorants were amazing to observe!!

I appreciate Heidi the General Manager for her attentiveness and professionalism. Martin & Jose are marvelous front desk and maintenance team employees! We’ll be back soon!

Wonderful stay at the cove
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn by the cove. The room was very nice and quiet. We have stayed here in the past. Make sure you get a room on the lower levels 501 or 503 . The highway noise is negligible . These are right across from the Gazebo. Beautiful setting and very courteous and friendly staff. Martin went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. We will definitely be back.

Reliable and restful with ocean views that can’t be beat
Pros:

This was or 3rd or 4th visit and once again Martin and the rest of the staff were so welcoming. The location is not a hard sell being right on the ocean. Our ocean front room was spacious, very clean and well appointed. I appreciate that they still provide some small amenities like makeup removers, q-tips and cotton balls when most other hotels stopped providing them. We also appreciated some sugarless options at breakfast and the fresh fruit and berries. We’ll be back in the fall for another visit. Great place to stay.

Excellent!
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay! The location is breathtaking and will be a treasured memory. Martin was fabulous at the front desk and took a personal interest in making sure we had an excellent time. The breakfast was delicious with fresh berries, biscuits, fried peppers and potatoes, waffles, and delicious coffee. We met wonderful people during our jacuzzi dips too. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Relaxing stay in comfort and luxury
Pros:

Amazing place to stay. Room was very spacious, clean and modern. Bed was huge and so comfortable. Had an amazing view overlooking the sea. Lovely to watch the sunset.
The hotel and grounds were beautiful and attention to detail very good.
The sun loungers were comfortable with good quality pool towels provided.
Breakfast was exceptional with fresh produce and home made waffles and pancakes. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Pismo beach was a short drive away but that suited us as we enjoyed a little rest and relaxation after staying at San Francisco and Yosemite and after a long drive.
One thing I’d point out is you can hear the traffic from the highway which is situated opposite the front of this hotel , which you can only hear when outside but wasn’t an issue to us.

Many good things, one not so great
Pros:

So many wonderful things about this property! Great breakfast, such lovely views and facilities.
One tough thing - a spot on the carpet in our room that looked a lot like a pet accident "/
