Becky

Liked: Staff & service
staff and service were good, but the system was inconvenient. For example, it is very inconvenient for a hotel to not give an invoice when checking in or checking out because the guest made a reservation through Expedia and they do not know the room rate. This is what makes guests anxious.

Great place to stay next to coast.

I've stayed here several times & the Spyglass is just above the beach but it is above a bluff so you need to walk to the beach below. Great sunsets. Spyglass Inn is central to Five Cities area, San Luis Obispo & Santa Maria area so you can access highway 101 to any locations easily. The Spyglass inn restaurant is closed & being re-modeled now as the original owners retired in November 2024 so new owner & the reopening at a unknown date as of October 9, 2025. I highly recommend Spyglass Inn for any stays in the Pismo Beach & Central Coast Area.

I was so happy with my stay. It was our one year anniversary and we were treated very well. The staff went above and beyond to welcome us and I can’t believe they remembered it was our anniversary!!! We had an amazing view of the ocean and the beautiful garden. I can’t wait to return!

Won't be back

The room was dingy and the floors were dirty, found dog kibble. The carpet was old and nasty-you don't want to walk on it. The bathroom door frame had a chunk out of it, closet hard to open and close, musty smelling because the bathroom has no ventilation for showering, toilet made continuous noise, shower dripped constantly. The beds sit in frames that are not clean. Overall it's old and not taken care of. Parking is $10/night.
