Inn at the Cove

Best ocean front experience so far. The room is clean and refreshing. The view is amazing during sunset. Honey birds around your patio. Not partial ocean view, just ocean view. Breakfast is fine, but the view is nice. Private cove (small rock beach, not sand) You can see ~30 stars during the night. 30 min walk to Pismo beach. 8 min walk to dinosaur park.(for kids) We absolutely enjoyed our 3 days vacation here, and would definitely come again.

It's tough to write this review because I want to give them a higher rating. I think I'll just start by listing the things I loved about our stay. The View - The view from most of the rooms is amazing, yes the rooms on the bottom floor are somewhat obstructed but for them most part you get a great view regardless. The Staff - Everyone from check-in to check-out was great. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay so no complaints here. The Room - The rooms themselves are very nice, you walk in and you get so many more amenities than at other higher end hotels. The Problems - It seems that whoever the hotel owner hired to design the hotel cut corners when it came to insulation. I mean come on, I can hear all of the conversations that were going on in the room above mine and in the surrounding rooms, the walls are too thin! The other issue is the ceiling, this only applies to those that stay on the bottom floors. All night long all I heard was the steps from what seem to be Chewbacca walking back and forth, in fact, it is 11:05pm on our second night and I am sitting here writing a review because I can't sleep because of the steps above us. Sure, I can call and complain but what exactly is that going to do? Move us to another room in the middle of the night? The people above us are probably not doing anything out of the ordinary it is just the poor insulation and construction in the floors. I really liked our stay in general, their breakfast while not great, was still way better than most hotels have to offer and the people serving the food were so extremely nice that it truly makes your experience that much better. Ultimately though, I just can't recommend staying here if you are a light sleeper like myself and you value your rest. I wish them almost the luck in the world but until they address their main problem, I don't see myself staying here again.
