Everything about this place is charming and sweet. I really enjoyed the fireplace in my room and listening to the seagulls while I ordered room service. I think the mattress was less comfy than desired but other than that a perfect stay.

Met my mom to have a relaxing stay an there was a rule only one parking per room. I had to leave my car in dirt parking lot down the street. There was plenty of open spots an when we woke up the same spots (about 6) were still open. Doors in hotel could use a good wiping with a white eraser. Coffee bar’s card reader was not working. Due to the parking situation they have now implemented I will never come back.

We loved our stay at The Cottage Inn. Super easy check in and check out. Awesome room with a great view of the ocean. 3 fire pits and a lot of chairs to sit anywhere in the back patio area. About a 5 minute walk down stairs to get to the beach. The staff was also very nice and accommodating. We will always stay here if we are in Pismo Beach. They offer a paid breakfast in the morning, which we didn't have time use, but the menu sounded delicious. Microwave and mini fridge (no freezer) and so the bathroom soaps and shampoos were really nice and smelled great. Love this place!!!
