When I booked this motel, it was short notice for a summer weekend at the beach. The next day I saw the reviews and was discouraged...I even thought about canceling our trip if I could not find another place. But alas it was a getaway from the central valley heatwave for my wifes birthday so we decided to go anyways.... more

Reserved a family suite for the 4th of July online in January. 2 weeks prior to our trip I called to verify our confirmation everything was fine upon arriving we entered the office an hour earlier before check in time the manager there stated our room had been sold because he was trying to get a hold of us and... more

I always try to be impartial in my reviews without acting too biased just based on a stay. I went with 4 friends, who I've traveled with before and have stayed in some "less than classy" places. When we arrived, we met the hotel "manager", who told us that we'd have to pay the money upfront. That was fine, and... more

I was coming home from San Francisco, decided to stay in Pismo Beach it was a Sunday night we had no reservations and on a budget we picked up the travelers magazine at a Denny's and found a coupon for the blue seal inn. I had always stayed at the nicest 4 & 5 star hotels with my parents, but... more

I wish I had seen these complaints before I booked with Expedia.com. Made an overnight reservation for my sons. When they arrived, they were told they could not stay there without a credit card. I spoke to the man there who was extremely rude and mouthy, not to mention his English is poor. I told my boys to leave there... more

I went with my daughters and grandchildren for a three day trip to Pismo. We were really shocked by the poor condition of the rooms we stayed in. They said they cleaned the carpets and they were damp but were also filthy......Bathrooms were in deplorable condition......cracked paint....mold, etc. The bedding was clean but we had to ask for towels on... more

Stayed a week, in 2 different rooms.

New room: Bugs in bathroom and refrigerator, hurtful springs in bed poking prevent... more

This by far is the most nasty disgusting room that we have ever stayed at. It was not obvious at first but once we closed the windows and were getting ready for bed it was very obvious. The room smelled like a mix of urine and cigarette smoke. The furniture was sticky to the touch. And like someone else has... more
