"For Valentines day my GF and I for the first time visited and stayed in Pismo Beach. We choose Inn at the Pier, we both need a handicap room and we were both pleased with our accommodations. All staff were pleasant and courteous, however parking is valet only but the gentlemen were always quick and friendly. We both enjoyed our stay with no problems."

"We stayed here for three days and two nights while I was showing my girlfriend the California Central Coast, with Pismo Beach as our southernmost destination. We drove from San Francisco to Pismo Beach over two days, entirely along Highway 1. Anastasia was absolutely amazing from the moment we made our reservation. She helped us choose a fantastic room and was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process. We arrived right at golden hour, and my girlfriend didn’t..."

"This is our second visit at Inn by the Pier and it will forever be one of our favorites. I wanted to highlight the amazing work and warmness of the staff. Especially Anastasia at the front desk, whatever she is being paid is not enough. She goes above and beyond and made our trip extra special. As well as Jesse at the front desk too, he's also amazing as well. They were helpful with our reservations and always helped when..."

"Beautiful Hotel with gorgeous rooms, nice balconies and big sized rooms. Not to mention the amazing views of the beach from the room. Great location with easy access to the Pismo beach, a nice quite touristy town that anyone can visit. The only bad thing was the thin walls, and my neighbors kept waking me up all night till 5 am by shouting, laughing and screaming, the hotel staff called them on my behalf but it did not matter, the..."

"We enjoyed our one night stay at Inn at the Pier Pismo Beach. We were in the corner suite which had a fantastic view of the pier and beach. The room was appointed well but some of the furnishings were a bit worn. It is very spacious and the large windows provide great lighting. There was no glassware in the kitchen, only plastic. The staff happily brought some upon my request. We would consider staying there again but may try..."

"We had an amazing stay at the Inn (our second time staying here for a long holiday). The view of the ocean and boardwalk, especially at sunset was incredible. We ate at the rooftop restaurant for both lunches and dinners, and food and service were great and the environment was relaxing. The room was clean and well laid out and had a great beach hotel vibe. Above all though was the service of the staff. I was really impressed with..."

"The staff is 10/10 from valet to front desk. They’re all so incredibly nice and made our stay as nice as it could be. Special shoutout to Jesse - he’s genuinely kind and caring and exemplifies the highest degree of ownership. We were a little early for check-in and he made sure to stay on top of housekeeping so we could get our room exactly at 4PM. My only con for giving it only 4 stars is it’s not insulated..."
