“LARGE SUITES, CONVENIENT FOR FAMILIES AND WELL RUN!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

We stayed at the Pismo Lighthouse Suites this past weekend in January. It is located right on a cliff above the beautiful Pismo Beach on the North end of Pismo. We had a King Suite facing the ocean.

Check in - extremely professional and polite employees!

Room - we had 2 rooms - one with a King size bed and one as a living room with a kitchenette. The room was decorated so tastefully! They must have had an interior decorator since the curtains, lamp shades, artificial tree in living room, art and all furniture was like right out of a magazine - unusual for any hotel! The rooms were spotlessly clean. The Hotel looks like a Motel from the Exterior, so we were quite pleasantly surprised when we stepped inside our room (like condo)! We also had 2 bathrooms - one with a stand up shower, and one with a bath tub - very useful because we had friends visiting us with kids from up North and they used the "guest" bathroom before we ventured out to dinner. The living room and the bedroom each had their own flat panel TVS with good cable channels (HBO etc....) The only children's channel is Cartoon Network - no Disney :(( The toiletries were Rain Kissed Leaves from Bath and Body Works, and smelled wonderful. There was enough closet and drawer space for a family. Just FYI (in case it matters to you) - three things were missing - a make up mirror, slippers and a safe. There is nowhere to lock up valuable electronics - a surprise to us. The kitchenette was very handy. We had a refrigerator, sink, microwave, and coffee machine.

Property - wonderful for families since the "Play Deck" offered Miniature Golf, Ping Pong (25 cents a ball), and Badminton. All rackets, clubs and other balls provided by front desk. There is also a pool and hot tub, but in 55 degree weather - they remained empty of course. We walked along the path of the hotels and neighboring hotels to the steps that take you down to the beach. It was spectacular! We then walked up another set of stairs far away and walked along Price Street back to our Hotel.

Breakfast - was delicious and there were many choices - waffles, boiled eggs, bagels, muffins, fruit, cereals, etc..... They serve it from 7-10am daily. We visited early to avoid the crowds.

We will definitely visit again!

It was such a pleasure to read your very detailed review of your stay with us. It brings a smile to my face to read that the staff was professional and polite as it means that we are doing things right. I am also happy to hear that you appreciate the Bath & Bodyworks amenities. While other properties may skimp on these type of amenities we feel that quality is important. I look forward to seeing you on your next visit to the Pismo Lighthouse Suites.

“Great coastal stopover for Highway 1 drive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

We booked a family suite at the last minute for a stopover during the drive from San Francisco to LA, as Pismo Beach was the perfect distance for that day's travel. For less than $200 per night we were pleasantly surprised with the size of the family suite, two full bedrooms, one with two queen beds, as well as two separate bathrooms. We also had a balcony with an ocean view. The bathrooms have the vanity outside the actual bathroom which is a great design to allow use of the basin for teeth, hair, makeup etc whilst the bathroom is occupied. Beds were very comfortable and good sound proofing in the room meant we didn't hear any highway noise. Our kids enjoyed the outdoor chess set and the pool, spa which was just warm enough for a late afternoon swim. The breakfast was OK, in a small cafeteria style eating room with cereal and bagels and waffle machine available, tea and coffee, juice also available. We were given a recommendation for dinner at the nearby Ventura Grill which was superb, and a short walk. Highly recommended and would be lovely in warmer weather.

“Terrific Getaway !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

This is our favorite place to "veg" out. We always get the ocean front king suite and could sit on the patio for hours , listening to the surf...never slept better in our lives.. very relaxing. The breakfasts are very good and the staff very helpful, While there, try Guiseppe's for some great Italian food.

Room Tip: on the lower rooms, you can hear the people walking or children running above you.

We're honored to be your "veg spot" ! It sounds like you have the right idea. Those waves against the coastline are very tranquil and relaxing. We'll have a cookie waiting for you the lobby on your next visit!

“Great find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

We stayed here in December 2012 as stopover on our way up to the San Francisco Bay area. It has a great location off Hwy 101. We are a family of 5, 2 parents and 3 "kids" aged 18, 20 and 21. The family suite was roomy, perfect and very clean. It was great having 2 bathrooms. We had a partial ocean view which was very nice. The breakfast in the morning was fine to start the day. We wished we could have stayed longer. It will definitely be a place we stay again. Staff was friendly and helpful.

“Two rooms in one.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

We stayed here in May 2012 as part of a road-trip from San Francisco down to Pismo then across to Death Valley. Lovely location at the top of a cliff over Pismo Beach. We checked in and went to check out our room and were surprised to find there were two rooms and two bathrooms in one! I was expecting two beds in one room. Would be wonderful value if 4 people are travelling. Cute little breakfast room (included) with great options.

Pismo is a pretty quiet place, we took a walk down the beach to the pier and saw a young couple on the beach who had just got married as well as some wild bird. Definitely worth heading down the beach and get some clam chowder...
