We were there during the Pismo Classic weekend. This is a very nice little hotel. The room was clean and quiet. The staff is awesome. They allow pets, though I didn't take mine. I had a king room for me and my son. Last minute my other son wanted to join us. I called the hotel and explained my situation. The hotel was sold out so we couldn't change rooms, but she was able to reserve a little larger king room so we could bring an air mattress. They let us leave our car there both days so I didn't have to pay parking in town. It's close to restaurants, and only a few blocks to Doliver, Pomoroy and the pier. I will definitely stay here again.

5 star motel!

We had the best time on our overnight stay at ocean pacific motel! We were greeted like family and the room was so clean and smelled fresh when we walked in. This motel was much cleaner than some 4 and 5 star hotels that we had stayed in!! I will definitely come back and stay again. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exceptional Customer Sevice close to the Beaxh

I got sick on the trip so it was hard to enjoy but the customer service was exceptional which is rare now. They actually helped me get my refund for the second night. I also came with pets and they gave me a room close to the dog area. The location was good, close to the beach. I was missing having a smart TV

Great stay and location

Staff was super friendly and the check in process was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable. My only issue was the road noise as the Motel is close to a highway. Other than that, the stay was great. I would come again.
