I'd seen this hotel numerous times from the freeway driving between LA and the Bay Area (it is situated halfway between the two) and was attracted by the ocean view from all rooms. Recently, feeling too tired to drive any further, we called in at the hotel around 9pm hoping that they might have a room available. The front desk... more

We have stayed here at least four times and it has been OK. However, since they renovated the rooms last year (they did a nice job) the service has been abysmal. The last two stays they have given us terrible rooms (after we had booked the most expensive and well in advance) and argued with us when we asked to... more

My husband and I and our infant son stayed in this hotel this past weekend. We were in Pismo Beach for a family event and searched online for a hotel for one night. We wanted something near the beach and the Shelter Cove fit our needs. We were able to secure a very good rate (before they booked up, call... more

We stayed here for two nights for a business related trip. Check in was fast and pleasant. Our room (1 br king on the upper level) was bigger than I thought it would be. There was a full size closet, 2 sinks, fridge, and microwave. The ocean view from the room was quite impressive and the walking trails around the... more

We planned an overnight to escape our gloomy winter and it was a perfect time to visit Pismo Beach. Home was 45 degrees while we enjoyed sun and 75 degrees. The hotel has been spruced up and our room even had that new-carpet smell. We had a balcony that overlooked beautiful views of the Pacific. The only thing that took... more

One of my favorite places to stay when visiting Pismo Beach. Even though we arrived at 1AM, the night manager was friendly and helpful. The room was great and even though it was in back of the pool, it still had a nice view from the small patio outside our room. This is great place to stay in the off... more

This was my second time to Pismo Beach. I stayed here with my girlfriend and we enjoyed every minute of it. The staff was friendly, the room was spacious overlooking the ocean, and it was only a short 5 minute drive to downtown where we ate some amazing clam chowder. The rooms are clean and have a nice charm to... more

The Shelter Cove Lodge in Pismo Beach offers great ocean views from the rooms. In my opinion the views are a tad bit better here than at some of the other hotels along this particular part of the coastline that I have stayed at. The room was close enough to leave the window open at night and hear the roar... more

This hotel was just average. The only thing special about this place is the veiw and the path leading down to the cove beach. My little fridg didn't keep anything cold. My room smelt like...? mold?....I'm still not sure what the smell was. You can hear the freeway noise in your room and on the balcony, so that ruins the... more
