No coffee…no hair dryer…no tissues. Bedspread is old and look like the 70s. The toilet seat cover is worn out and in need of replacement. Overall the place needs a compete makeover

Quiet hidden gem

I took a solo trip to pismo after splitting up with my significant other of almost 8 years. I had stayed at this hotel in the past and found it to be pretty close to the pier. It is situated in an established part of pismo, but I found it to be safe and clean.

Great location

Good for the price and better for the location. 5 minute walk to the beach great area. Only issue was a broken bathroom window with pieces still stuck inside the window. Bathroom was a bit outdated and moldy but for the location and price... you be the judge :) I'd stay again tbh. I might bring my own cleaning stuff though and a area heater.

Moldy bathroom

Manager was very nice at check in. Room wasn’t horrible but bathroom was disgusting. There was mold on the ceiling and all over the bottom of the shower curtain which makes me think that it doesn’t get changed between guests. The bathroom had no ventilation (which is most likely the cause of the mold) other than a small window that had no screen. I’ve stayed at blue seal before (a different room) and it was not nasty like this one was. I doubt I’ll stay there again.
