The worst experience of my life. I was excited to be spending my 40th birthday, we checked in and went into our room we noticed a patio chair was broken so we called the front office to let them know. By this time, we were there in the room for 15-20 minutes. I get ready to change my clothes to go down to the beach put my clothes on the bed, and out of nowhere my door unlocks and the maintenance man walks in my room does not knock or anything just unlocked my door with his key and invites himself in. I freaked out especially with all of the trafficking going on. I start screaming yelling and the guy he says oh I'm sorry. I have Never had anyone just walk into my hotel room without knocking. I was almost kidnapped when I was younger and that experience triggered me so much. I did not sleep well do to fear that someone was going to come into my room while sleep. The worst experience at a hotel... I did let the manager know and it felt like no one cared i was so upset I just left I wish i was refunded my money but i can tell by the managers response of - What do you want us to do, and her face expression said it all. I don't know on here, but women and kids are being kidnapped while vacationing and I got that exact feeling because my husband was just about to leave the room and go to the car and I would have been in there alone, naked then what would have happened then.? I did in fact have my shirt off when he walked in. This situation will never leave my mind.

We wished we had stayed for longer. The view from the rooms is exceptional. The room itself was huge compared to other hotels/inns we had stayed at during our holiday in California. It felt pretty much brand new and was equipped with everything you might need. The free parking was a huge plus and its walkable to Pismo Beach or you can utilise the free bicycle hire too. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again when visiting in future.
