We first stayed here last year, and found this hotel thru a Pet Friendly hotel site. My only reason for not rating the property a 5 is the charging of an extra fee for pets. Otherwise this is a GREAT place. From the free cookies at check-in, to the substantial continental breakfast (cereals, waffles, breads, yogurts, boiled eggs, and more).... more

Wow - we knew that this was going to be a good place to stay but it bettered our expectations!! This was the luxury part of our trip - our day and a half "chill out" for my wife and i and our two friends - and it did exactly that. The room was wonderfull, with plenty of space, the... more

We just stayed at the Cottage Inn by the Sea. We had a nice experience. Our room with two beds was spacious. The beds were comfortable. The refrigerator and microwave was very convenient. They are under construction in one of the building so you have to be prepared for that. We had a issue with the noise, hammering and banging... more

We just recently stayed at this Hotel and couldn't have been more pleased with it! We loved it so much that we didn't want to leave to go shopping in Pismo. Our room was so cottage looking-with cute shutters. Loved every bit of it. The weather was warm, so we didn't use the gas fireplace, it'd be nice to come... more

This was our first visit & stay in Pismo Beach, what a remarkable and memorable stay we had during our month long holiday to California - staying at the Cottage Inn By the Sea was the highlight of our trip. We had a full ocean view room located on the second floor. Our room was huge with bay windows that... more

I stayed at the Cottage Inn while in the area on business and the hotel was great - I am planning a trip back to the area with my husband and will stay at this hotel again. I had an ocean view room, which was on the second floor with a balcony looking toward the pool and out over the... more

My wife and I stayed at the Cottage Inn for our 34th wedding anniversary. We were pleased at the size and quality of the room, with large windows that face the ocean, and a semi-private patio off the room with great views of the ocean. Unfortunately our room was adjacent to the ice machine which serenaded us with the loud... more

We just returned from a trip up the California Coast to look at colleges with our daughter. Our second stop was in Pismo Beach. This was a fantastic hotel located on the cliffs north of the pier. It has an outstanding view overlooking the ocean. The room was very clean with two big King beds. The staff were very friendly... more

We were extremely disappointed with the Cottage Inn.. Firstly the hotel and especially food looked nothing like the pictures! We were given a room under some stairs, it was dark and it smelt of dampness. Then when it came to breakfast the food was absolutely awful, there was no fruit at all, the hot food (ie, the tiny sausages and... more
