The on site managers made you feel at home and very welcome. The room was nice and cozy. This motel is very well managed and I felt very safe staying there. The location is perfect; you can walk right down to the beach in just a few minutes. Also around the corner is everything you need; shopping, eating, fishing off... more

My husband and I brought our 2 daughters to Pismo for the first time. I was a bit concerned after reading some of the reviews of this Motel, however all my fears have been diminished. The location is A+++, right on the beach, in fact at night you can hear the Ocean. The price is very reasonable as well. They... more

This motel is literally right on the beach....and in the heart of the Pismo Beach area with bars and restaurants just round the corner. The views from the room (on the ground even) were great so i'm guessing from upstairs they'd have been even better. Our room was small, but we got the last one available and this is reflected... more

The owners run this place and really watch the property. We know how things can get out of control at beachfront rentals, so we were not too surprised at them keeping close watch on the parking, etc. They keep everything pretty clean, but some of the rooms are kind of small, this is not a beachfront resort. This is ON... more

Wow... talk about rude. I called asking for a single room for one night and the clerk just rudely told me, "no vacancy". When I started to ask an additional question he just hung up in my mid-sentence. RUDE more

Since the first second we set foot on that place the owner watched us like a dog. We had a few friends that were staying on a different hotel but hanging with us in the beach at this place. The owner charged us a extra $150 because one or two of our friends used the bathroom a few times in... more

My friend and I booked into Dolphin Cove for 2 nights on a recent road trip around SW USA and we couldnt believe the value or the view. It cost us in the region of £70 for two nights ($140) for both of us so was a complete bargain and when we got there we were totally blown away by... more

This is no luxury hotel, but it's right on the beach. Where else can two people stay for 70- 80 dollars a night with a 1,000,000 dollar view? We had a great time, although our neighbors were a little close. A little like summer camp! But the walk to the beach takes 10 seconds. You can't beat that! And the... more

Sept 22, 2006 I came to Pismo Beach with 3 children for the weekend for a surf competition. We have stayed in Pismo before and have loved the experience. I wanted to save some money yet stay on the beach so when I found the Dolphin Cove Lodge I thought It would be great. I can handle a funky room,... more
