Great Hotel with Stunning Views

We loved the hotel's location and views of the ocean. The room was a good size and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a meal in the connecting Marisol Restaurant which again, was superb.

No free parking

I am putting a low mark because the facility says free parking but this is not true. If you want to park there you have to pay the valet, otherwise they send you to a public parking on the other side of the street, uphill.

Great overnight stop, could have stayed longer!

Really stylish and welcoming hotel, room was spacious and comfortable with everything you could need. Staff were really welcoming and helpful. Lovely beach just down the cliffs and Pismo was a fab spot to visit just down the road.

Very small swimming pool, a lot of children. It was like kids club pool. Hotel was crowded, several events. Staff was super busy and not attentive.

BEST RESORT AT THE BEST PRICE

I seriously loved everything about this resort. It was perfect in every way! Every valet attendant, Every desk attendant, Every bartender/Server at Marisol.... Everyone was so nice and helpful! The beds were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The shower had great water pressure and the lotions/shampoos/body washes smelled so good! The view every morning and every evening was perfect. The fire pits,. The walk along the coast.. Seriously THE BEST!!!

Friendliest Hotel and Restaurant staff.

A lovely hotel about 3hours from LAX for an one night 2 day stopover in LA. A treat for our last night of holidays. And wasn't it a treat. Hired a car, and arrived to Valet parking (extra), a beautiful comfortable room, and the most friendliest Hotel and Restaurant staff I have ever experienced. Sadly the weather wasn't in our favour, so swimming and hopping in spa wasn't on our list, but it didn't stop others as it was heated. The food, views, staff and decore at the Marisol Restaurant was sensational. There is an ocean walk path to enjoy as well.

Best meal I’ve had so far in the US. Our order was taken by Ian and he went over and above in making our night special.

Great room, spacious and amazing views.

Nice place and views but missing the X factor.

A nice place probably more impressive in years gone by but not outdated as such, well maintained though. Lovely views along the coast and access down the cliff to the beach.

Nice hotel for a short break with kids. Food not great.

Staff extremely nice, especially at the pool, great for a break of 2 days, luckily we were there when it was not too busy so enough space at the pool even in the afternoon.

Comfortable hotel for 1 night stop over on our California road trip

The rooms were clean, comfortable and smart, the pool was great, whilst not included in the rate the breakfast was delicious, and the view of the sea and access to the beach superb. The chicken kebabs from the store up the road were delicious too!
