The Best Pet Friendly Hotel!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Inn at the Cove in Pismo Beach is an absolute gem, and I cannot recommend it enough—especially if you’re traveling with pets! This is hands down the best pet-friendly hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Outside of spending a small fortune at the Rosewood Resort in Palo Alto, no other place has treated my furry companion with such care and respect. They truly made my pet feel like a queen! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. The views from the property are breathtaking—waking up to the ocean and the sound of the waves was pure magic. The service was impeccable, and every detail was thoughtfully considered. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be the bed. Unfortunately, the mattress was very out of date—it’s a spring bed with no foam or plushness, and it ended up collapsing, which made for a pretty uncomfortable night’s sleep. That said, everything else about the stay was so fantastic that I’m still giving this place five stars. If they upgrade the mattresses, this would be a flawless experience. Regardless, I will absolutely be staying here every time I’m in Pismo Beach. Thank you, Inn at the Cove, for an unforgettable experience (and for treating my pet like royalty)! 🐾

Amazing views and nice room. The only issue we had was the bed was the firmest I have ever encountered. Not good for side sleepers. Won’t be booking again for that reason alone.

Loved it!

First time there. Loved our Ocean Front room. Slightly disappointing was the small breakfast eating area. Also, I told the staff lady that the oatmeal was gone and she didn’t do anything about it. Other than that… great stay!

The place was wonderful! The room was well appointed. Plenty of room to store luggage. However they were having issues with the coffee maker and the coffee in the thermos was just warm not hot. Otherwise everything was fantastic!

Hotel is very quiet and clean, rooms are decent size, small pool and hot tub area. If you are looking to be able to walk downtown Pismo for restaurants and activities I would not recommend.
