This is more of a motel then Hotel, but the rooms are very large and very clean. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. But
I have to advise against staying here unless you are put into an ocean front unit. On our recent trip we got a chance to experience all three area's and believe when I say only the ocean front suites are suitable. We were in the 2100's rooms that sit over the hotel laundry and the heat and jet type noise is unbearable. The other units sit on the main highway and it stays busy all hours not to mention the headlights that shine into the rooms. On our last night we ended up in room 3101 and 3102 they wereocean front first floor , at the far end of the complex away from the pool and
spa, A plus as the pool and spa stay crowded well into the eveing even in October. Rooms 3101 and 3102 were perfect. I would stay there agian as it is a great location and the complimentary breakfasts were awesome. don't leave town without trying a Old west cinnamon roll or a Bucket of crab at the Cracked crab......

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.

This was a very pleasant place to stay. Minimal noise, and the atmoshpere was wonderful. The employees were great and very friendly.

Used as an overnight stop for costal trip after the Big Sur, before LA.. It was foggy so we did not see it at its best. The rooms are situated over the parking garage & getting to them it does not look great, a bit more motel than hotel. However, once you are in the suites are wonderful. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. We had two bedrooms, one King & two doubles. Each had its own ensuite shower - great with three teen age daughters. Each suite overlooks either the spectacular beach or the activity deck, with a small balcony.
There is a heated poof & jaccuzi on the cliff edge overlooking the sea, a games deck with volleyball, ping pong, mini golf & a giant chess board!
Breakfast is in the rate & good buffet of the usual pasteries & cereals together with a make your own waffle iron!
The do not serve dinner so you have to drive to Pismo or for a wider choice St Luis Obispo.
Overall a very good hotel overlooking a fantastic beach - we wish we had stayed a few days longer.
