This is a very nice hotel - the rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped and the grounds are beautiful. However, the proximity to the 101 freeway makes for a noisy soundtrack when sitting outside on your balcony/patio. We were in the rooms on the left of the hotel as you look at it which are a bit closer to the freeway so maybe if you could get a room towards the other end, it would perhaps be less noticeable. Thankfully, once you close your door, the road noise is gone.
As other reviewers have said, the pool area is much smaller than it looks in the photos but still very nice.
Overall this is a good little hotel for a reasonable price given its location and the resulting views and Pismo Beach itself is great fun.
