We wanted to get away from the smoke in Los Angeles from the fires. My son had bronchitis and I am asthmatic. We stumbled upon the Pismo Lighthouse Suites. They only had two suites left, so we took one for $119. The bummer of our room was that we were facing the freeway, but it was not so bad as I anticipated. We had two rooms and two baths and it was great cause I could put my son to bed and then stay up and read. It was nice to have a suite.
Outside, in the courtyard, there is a giant, human-sized chess game that my son loved playing with, along with minature golf set and ping pong. I would go back but stay on a suite right on the beach. We really enjoyed it, it was great for children, and by the way, there is great German restaurant in Shell Beach, Austrian House where we had dinner. Breakfast (which is included) at the hotel was neat, good early morning food.
I would highly reccomend this hotel. I also would love to try the other hotel in Avila Beach.
