Beach House Inn & Suites

We always stay here when we go to Pismo, which is often. Always clean. Always friendly. Has a kitchenette so you can save some money on eating out. Super close to the beach. The first time we stayed here it was by chance. We had reservations at another hotel up the road. That hotel smelled like mold and disgustingness. The carpet was damp, it was so gross. The Beach House Inn helped us out with a good rate on a vacant room and every since then we have been hooked.

Excellent!!!
This was a wonderful place to stay, it started with the staff member that checked us in the («Hip Great Grandmother»). She was a wonderful lady, made us feel very welcome. The room was superb, had a clear view of the ocean, beach, coast line and pier. The room did have A/​C and it sure blows, the place is located at least a minute or two from the sand. We will surely be coming back and I want my same room. Shhhhh, can’t give out the room number. Up for the stay.

This place is ridiculously over-​priced and run down. No AAA discount. Hotel advertised flat screen tv but it was one of those old box with multiple controllers, full ocean view obstructed with rooftop & building (so yes, you can almost see the ocean when you look far enough) and rusted chairs, kitchenette in the room but they charge you $ 30 to use, fireplace that’s not working, AC not working, lights next to the bed are not working. Coffee pot has broken parts on the counter. The pipes in the kitchenette and bathrooms are all exposed, filthy appliances and a very sticky patio door. No security, door has no deadbolt and the room does not have a safe. Their phone is old and front desk does not answer. But the worst part is the rude people that work here.
The lady shushed us as we were chatting walking to our rooms. The same lady had the nerve to ask my nephew to climb up an unsteady rusted ladder to pull down a building sunroof for her !!!
Such old school they write everything down when we were checking us in that took forever not to mention they are old ladies and they can’t walk and chew gum. Tiny little office for one lady, one maid and another mean one that walks the floor.
One plus… Great location and easy access to many places and the beach. I guess location is everything. They provide free movies and delivers right to your door. They also provide beach chairs and towels but the old chair is god awful… It is free rental so no complaining here.
If you plan on a beautiful hotel that’s comfortable with great staff, this isn’t it. We paid over $ 300 per night and it was def not worth the money. The soap and shampoo is small enough to last you a day (never replenished) so it looks like we pay for somebody to tidy our room, no thrill.

Why are the reviews so good for this overpriced dump?! It was such a rip off I couldn’t believe it! Our suite had a view of a roof and overlooked the back of a stinky restaurant. The furniture was outdated and filthy. I felt like I was staying in a crappy apartment. For 300 bucks a night I expected way more. There are better hotels in pismo. Don’t waste your money like I did.

This hotel is in a great location and is in great condition. Patti at the front desk must be one of the rudest and most inconsiderate people we’ve ever met. She charged us extra for our 2 month old baby and tried to kick us out of the hotel when we questioned her. We thought we had already paid for our stay at the hotel at
when we booked it, just like all of the other times we’ve booked a hotel there, and were charged once we got here. When we asked Patti, she started calling the owner of the hotel and the people at
for me to speak with someone there instead of explaining this hotels procedures. She accused me of challenging her rather than just discussing it with us professionally. We were very disappointed in the customer service here and will not stay here again because of it!

The room is small and cozy, but the staff was rude. Our visitors had to leave and we were given an ultimatum of staying or leaving. Everything we did was questioned. This location is probably preferrable for a couples getaway.

After a series of events led us to be clamoring for a hotel room in Pismo Beach at like 5pm, we stumbled upon this absolute gem. After calling places that were booked we were both happy to have found an opening and also a little apprehensive as this was probably our 6^th or 7^th call… why wasn’t it booked?
Apparently it wasn’t booked because people are idiots. The first night we stayed in a lovely room with a balcony looking right out onto the beach. We had secured parking and a little kitchenette with a full size fridge. The place is located steps off the beach and walking distance to restaurants and bars. It’s tourist central but you can easily adventure a couple blocks out of the way to find some things away from the masses.
The second night we got a deal on a suite. Both of us would have been very happy to live there forever. This time the deck had an even larger ocean view, living room and kitchen.
The TVs are the old school big butt ones, but they have DVDs and the front desk has a shockingly current movie selection. Overall the premises may be a little dated but the location and size of the room make you forget all that. Everything is clean and the front desk person, Patty, was extremely helpful and welcoming. The front desk people are not all the same though, we dealt with one person who wasn’t as thoughtful and was vaguely passive aggressive about apparent rules that were out of nowhere. Just give that one a wide berth and everything is wonderful.

Excellent view, excellent rooms, close to all of the hot spots. Not sure why we hadn’t tried here before, but, we’ll be back. It’s locally owned… the owner actually lives on site… which is a huge plus for us. Also, Patti was very helpful at check in.
If sitting on the veranda watching the sunset is your idea of a good stop… ya gotta try the Beach House Inn.

STAY AWAY!!! The owner over charges for rooms and will tell you that their bedrooms only accommodates 2 adults and 2 children. The owner will also tell you that 4 adults are NOT allowed in a suite that has a king size and full size bed and is only for 2 adults. The larger suite that has a separate living area can easily accommodate up to 6 (the owner/​reservationist will tell you that it is made only for 2 adults and 2 children). Suites are over priced. Paid for an ocean view room and got a view of a rooftop instead. No WiFi at all. For the price I paid I could have gotten a place at Newport beach’s Pelican Hill or Marriott.

My fellow Unilocalers were right again, we thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay in room 305. The pier, beach and ocean views were spectacular; no other hotel/​motel was closer to the water. Imagine sleeping with your balcony door wide open, being lulled asleep by the sound of the ocean: priceless! Some one complained about there not being any air conditioning — who needs air conditioning at the beach? There’s an enclosed parking garage just for guests, and an elevator so you don’t have to lug heavy bags (or cases of wine from all the nearby wineries) up the stairs.
Carolyn (sp) greeted and checked us in, made us feel like royalty and shared some tips about what to see & do, and where to eat in Pismo Beach. All of downtown is within a 2 – 3 block walking distance from the Inn so your hardest decision is where to start. There’s a wooden pier walking path that goes along the shoreline all the way to the Harbor too.
Our room was very big, had a gas fireplace, a microwave, coffee maker, sink and fridge. The kitchenette came stocked with dishes, flatware, a cork screw (yes!) and wine glasses. The room was very clean and the bed, though a tad soft for my taste, was comfortable enough. If there was ANY negative –and this isn’t the fault of anyone at the Inn– it’s the bright white and blue «Dolphin Cove Motel» sign that lights up the entire Universe outside the room at night. Whoa, I could totally live without that but it won’t stop me from coming back. More than affordable and on the beach!
