This inn is ADORABLE. It has lots of charm. It is a three minute walk from the beach. It's cute, comfortable, has a pool (although we didnt use it) and is a fantastic value. I really recommend staying here if you are looking for something cute, affordable and aren't looking for anything too fancy. Each room has a tv and... More

Shell Beach Inn is located 5 minutes from the gorgeous Central Coast shoreline. It's a beautiful location for sightseeing the area. The room was "old school," but in a good way. Everything was clean. Bed was comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was great. Nice that they have a microwave and small fridge in the room (along with a coffee... More

Cute little 50's retro place, 10 rooms I think, a few minutes walk to the ocean down a neighborhood street. Room with one queen bed was on the small side but had everything we needed including mini fridge, microwave, hair dryer, iron and old-school tv. Bed had an old-fashioned bedspread that most places today have done away with because they're... More

To begin with, this hotel is small, clean, very pleasant, with a great location! I liked the attention to decor in our room -- it had a nice feel. But what makes it really special is the owners.

A really quiet and modest place in a great town in Central California. Walking to everywhere and super nice innkeepers who are so helpful in making sure you don't go without or miss anything. Clean rooms with irons and refridgerators, coffee and hot water that doesnt run out or change temps on you! Pool too.

Let start, You get to hear the freeway all night. No towels in the bath room.Pool was not heated like they say it was. Paint was comming off of the tub and shower, and all the furniture in the room. 100.00 a night, what a joke,we got takin !!!!!

We stayed 7 nights here and it was marvellous. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. Just a short walk to the beach and only a few yards from a good choice of eating places and stores. We would definitely stay there again. The town itself is a perfect base to discover the delights of... More

Great place to spend the night on our way to LA. Clean, affordable, friendly, helpful owners. Short walk to the beach, short drive to Pismo for dinner. A little noisy, & the bathroom door was old & funky (like us). We'd stay there again.

we only stayed here for one night, but the next day we both decided that pismo, you're so yesterday. we are now staying here for future stays when in the area. the night before we stayed at a motel in pismo that was, at best, horrifying. to make up for the scary room(seriously i slept on my beach blanket -...
