We had pre-booked this hotel with the intention to drive up the coast to San Francisco the following day. After we checked into the hotel we found it to be far beyond our expectation and we decided to stay two more nights, partly because we loved the Pismo Beach area. The hotel is ideally located right on the cliff, looking at the Pacific Ocean. The room was obviously recently re-modeled and had a nice modern upscale look and feel to it. The bathroom was also very comfortable and clean. We had a room with a partial view of the Pacific, and we see the the beach and the town of Pismo Beach from our room on the second floor. The seagulls and pelicans were not much of a bother, but there was a bit of a smell in the air after it rained the first night of our stay.
The breakfast was mostly toast, muffins, danish, hard boiled eggs and coffee....... more than adequate for our start of the day.
Overall a very enjoyable experience and we would highly recommend this hotel. Great value for the money spent!

My daughter got married at this location the 1st weekend in October. We stayed in a suite #104. 2 bedroom suite with kitchen and living room. 1 bedroom had 2 double beds with crib, other had 1 double bed and sofa in living rm made into bed. We had 6 people sleeping in the room and we were all comfortable.
Our room was right on the ocean, each room faced the ocean with sliders on each and slider in living rm facing the pool. We had alot of people in and out of our room as we were the brides parents. I would recommend this hotel for the rooms. The wedding was on the lawn overlooking the ocean. Beautiful setting. I would recommend this as a wedding location also. We had the reception at the restaurant at this location. We were there Fri - Mon and I had no complaints. I even called the wedding cordinator the following week and told her how everything at the location was wonderful from the hotel room, wedding & reception. The food was plentiful at the reception.

great hotel, great location, price isn't bad for what you get about $110-120 rooms round pool are more luxurious than those with seafront view, even though seafront viewsw are more expensive.
Rooms are great, clean and spacious, seems like recently refurbished. Large pool and hot tub with opcean front views, glass screen protects from worst of winds.Usually it was very quiet and if you have a pool day then you will likely almost have it to yourself.
However only pownside is that cliffs near hotel are covered with pelicans, thus its name Pelican Point, which does tend to lend itself to a bit of a fishy whiff from time to time...
overall it was a nice experience and we came back for more days. Would highly recommend...

we had driven down the big sur from san fran and stopped off here on opur way to LA.

Its more of a Motel than Hotel but the staff were very warm and friendly, beautiful views along the beach and cliff tops with a magnificent sunset.

This hotel is one you would expect to be a Motel but clean and useable. The Hotel is on the main highway at the back and front is absolutely infested with Seaguls and Pelican - at first the smell is overwhelming but with time you get used to it, the noise of the birds isnt great but at night they are pretty quiet so you can live with it.

The Gym is 4 pieces of kit that are rusty and not working too well but you can get a 45 min workout at a push.

Next door is a seafood resturant that is absolutely fine nothing special but does the job and the service is good.

All in all it was fine and did the job of a stop over hotel/motel

We wanted a romantic getaway in SLO. The BW Shore Cliff was just stupendous. We would absolutely go back and stay again. The rooms were so-so but the location was amazing. Right on the cliffs with the ocean below.

To those that say the seagulls and pelicans bothered them, phooey. It was great to leave the sliding door open and listen to them. They put us to sleep. It was ambiance.

The pool was fun, the location was great, and the gazebo wonderful. We ate breakfast and nightcaps on our balcony overlooking the water.

If you stay here, request an ocean view room on the second floor. The best!
