Oxford Suites Pismo Beach
2.5 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1542)
"What a GREAT hotel!! Our room was a suite with 2 tvs so hubby could get up & watch in the other room while I slept a little longer. We were given tickets for 1 free drink from the bar for each evening we were there and the free hot breakfast was very good!! The grounds were kept nicely, there was a fences dog run area, a couple of sitting areas with fires just outside the pool area in the evenings and the man at the front desk was SUPER helpful! I would DEFINITELY stay here again!!"

"Edgewater Inn is my favorite kind of value hotel. Though it is a bit dated, the hotel is always clean, the beds are comfortable, and the televisions have streaming services you can log into. It's also on the beach and walking distance to Pismo's pier and the shopping area, so we never have to drive. It is also very pet friendly. I recommend for anyone who enjoys value, proximity, and cleanliness of rooms!"

"The property was nice. The pool and hot tub definitely was always occupied. I didn’t get a chance to go in but for some reason in the room, there was no cold water. I let it run for about 20 minutes and also it smelled like rotten eggs coming from the drain, I thought it was the water so I was definitely worried about that but otherwise it was a good "

Distance to the beach, less than five minute walk. Comfort is top notch, well more than a “crash spot”. Environment is peaceful, we spent all day in Pismo doing the tourist thing, being two blocks from the epicenter felt relaxing. Our room was very clean, felt comfortable and at ease immediately. Parking a vehicle is not a worry, ice...
