Yes, it is now The Cayucos Inn. Anne Marie was so helpful. Got in late Fri night, my CC was not working, this a prepay Inn. So the checked me in, and I was able to pay in am. Anne Marie was a sweetheart. The Owners were pleasant too. The ONLY problem with this place is paper thin walls, floors,... More

10/8/2012 We (Mom, Dad and daughter) stayed at the Beach Walker Inn and Suites last weekend. To say the service was abysmal and the room was unacceptable would be a gross understatement. We were headed to Paso Robles for a wedding and could not find any rooms there or in Templeton as I booked late. So, I looked on the... More

The other known dog-friendly establishments in Cayucos, a favorite destination of ours, were booked, so I chose The Beachwalker Inn. Regretfully, I did not read the reviews on Tripadvisor, instead embracing a dubious recommendation from some pet-friendly hotel site. I booked the day before our arrival. Cayucos was a 3-hour drive. A woman appeared at the Inn office and grimly... More

You are to be treated worse than a dog is what they meant when they advertised, “pet friendly.” Read every review and decide for yourself. If you have a pet, you are relegated to the “dog” house. It’s the room in the back down a dark outside hallway at the end of the building with a sliding glass door as... More

There is nothing good about this property except for the location. After that, it's abysmal. The room was coated in grime and there was tons of garbage under the bed! Plus, I got hit with a $15/pet fee upon checkin - which jacked my formerly awesome rate of $69 to $109. I'm slowly learning that "pet-friendly" = we will charge... More

Do not believe any of the good reviews for this place. I trusted some of the better reviews and booked a room for 3 nights for my wife and daughter to celebrate my daughters birthday. The room was dirty and there was a big hole in the wall like the after math of a fight that wasn't repaired. The sink... More

The room was decent and the location was pretty good for the price, but I will not return to this inn because of the customer service. It felt like I was bothering the woman who checked us in as she mumbled and grumbled the whole time on the computer. The only words that were said to me as I was... More

Liked the rooms very much. They were clean and well maintained. I've stayed at this motel over the years and this seems to be consistent. Pertaining to the rooms, I didn't like having a room with a sliding glass door as the entrance to the room. The rooms aren't air conditioned (few are in this part of CA) and I... More

We stayed here for one night and it was an awful experience. The room was dirty and smelled musty. Best to look else where. We switched to the Dolphin which was $30 a night less and a much better property. The staff was friendly there unlike the Beachwalker. .

the owners also own the laundermat next door. Most of the machines do not work. They accept your money then then tell you tough luck when they don't start. Rip off!!!!
