9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,214 reviews)

We stayed at the Shore Cliff for three nights this week and brought our dog. We had a hot breakfast buffet every morning with something different being served every day. The breakfasts were all really good. Our dog had a water bowl and a blanket to welcome her. The staff was wonderful, so helpful and friendly. Our room was on the first floor to make it easy to take the dog in and out with a wonderful ocean view as all the rooms at the Shore Cliff. Apparently, the hotel been undergoing renovations, and except for one wing it looks like they are near completion. However, our trip was not impacted by anything going on at all, except enjoying the updated rooms and amenities. I would definitely recommend this hotel when you’re visiting Pismo Beach, especially with pets and children. Its dramatic location can’t be beat with easy access to the beautiful beach below. Definitely going back!

San Luis Creek Lodge really blew away our expectations for what a small inn could be. It is so beautiful inside and out! Great architecture complemented by beautifully designed interior, with Aesop products to boot. We absolutely loved it. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I highly, highly recommend. You won't regret it.
