                  Shell Beach Hotel & Travel Guide

                  Apartment and hotel options are aplenty in Shell Beach. At least 43 apartments and hotels can easily be found within a 6-mile (10-kilometer) radius of Shell Beach's city center.

                  While Shell Beach doesn't boast being home to a huge range of Travelocity-listed accommodation options in the heart of its central district, The Palomar Inn is handy enough to be appropriate for modern travelers.

                  1 mile (2 kilometers) from the main part of Shell Beach, you can find the Dolphin Bay Resort And Spa. The Avila La Fonda Hotel can be found 4 miles (6 kilometers) away. You might like to book a room at the Avila Lighthouse Suites or the San Luis Bay Inn.

                  Planning to get a bit out of the center? Central California lays claim to a number of attractions worth checking out. Investigate Central California's lighthouses and you can also relish the region's valleys and rolling hills. Fun-loving travelers can also get into snowboarding and skiing in the area.

                  Pismo Beach is 1 mile (1.5 kilometers) to the east of Shell Beach and features Pismo Beach Pier and Monarch Butterfly Grove. When you want to get to Pismo Beach, check out the rooms at the Sandcastle Inn and Pismo Lighthouse Suites. Alternatively, you could stay in Avila Beach, 4 miles (7 kilometers) northwest of Shell Beach, where you can pick from the Avila Village Inn and Inn At Avila Beach. Should you choose to stay in Avila Beach, a couple of places to add to your itinerary are the Avila Beach Golf Resort and Central Coast Aquarium.

                  Consider spending an afternoon enjoying thrills and spills in the company of local supporters at an exciting match. Alex G. Spanos Stadium is 10 miles (16 kilometers) to the north of Shell Beach. Book a Travelocity-listed hotel near the action at the Madonna Inn or the Granada Hotel & Bistro.

                  If you are planning on arriving through San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport, you may like to book Travelocity-listed rooms at Courtyard by Marriott San Luis Obispo, or Embassy Suites by Hilton San Luis Obispo, which can both be found conveniently close.

                  Madonna Inn

                  4.0 Kitschy fun
                  Unique assembly of buildings with themed rooms, the pool is beautiful and carved woods in the main facility are likewise beautiful. The pink is a bit over-the-top, but that may be part of its charm?

                  Avenue Inn Downtown San Luis Obispo

                  4.0 Nice lil hotel in Historic downtown SLO
                  Love that it's just walking distance from all the downtown shops, restaurants, and the Mission! Very clean and very nice service. Kids loved the mini waffle making bar at the breakfast room (free continental brkfst!) Room was surprisingly a bit small for a family of 4 (2 bed) and pricey... but had microwave, mini fridge, free Wifi, and cable w/HBO! Down side, no pool...bummer for the kids, but it wouldn't have done us any good anyways since it rained the weekend we stayed. All in all, we had a very nice and comfortable stay and would possibly stay here again next time we're in Downtown SLO !

                  SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

                  4.0 Ocean view description not ocean view
                  Overall, the hotel was good. It was clean, bed was comfortable, staff was friendly, and the location to Pismo State Beach was good. Only thing we weren’t happy about was that the description said ocean view. When I think ocean view, I think balcony, window, patio will be directly facing the ocean. Instead we saw another balcony & the pool area with what I would call, a partial ocean view.

                  Cottage Inn By The Sea

                  5.0 Beautiful room, perfect location
                  Beautiful high ceilings, fireplace, lots of space, nicely appointed bathroom (love the lighting around the mirror!), three big windows and a view of the sea. Ideal location for walking on the enormous beach or strolling to dinner, shops, etc. We were in room 322 and were surprised that we couldn’t really hear the ocean even with the windows wide open. Must be because of the cliffs. (We heard the cars on the road and highway perfectly.) Better breakfast than expected. Would definitely return!!

                  5.0 Water use
                  You need to put in low flow shower heads and toilets in an area with water problems. You would save money in the long run and help the environment.

                  Inn at San Luis Obispo

                  4.0 Underrated, terrific inn
                  Recently renovated rooms that spacious, updated granite counters, very clean and fresh. Rated somewhere at 2 and one half stars. Our group agreed that should be 3 and half to 4 stars. The only quibble, towels were a bit harsh. Convenient location as well. So affordable and yet comfortable.
