Such good value for the money. The staff was very eager to accommodate. Had an issue with plumbing and notified the staff the next morning they were extremely apologetic and handled it well.

Great place to enjoy the ocean.
Shore Cliff is on a beautiful part of the California coast. The views from many of the rooms are gorgeous. The rooms are large and comfortable. This is our second time here because it is a fun place to stay and we enjoy the town of Pismo Beach and the surrounding area.

Mediocre at best.
Really not great. The rooms are clean enough but the furnishings/bathrooms really outdated. My Gold status did not result in the amenties that i was promised. Occupancy was maybe 25%, but "no upgrades available" and parking charged without disclosing. I would skip this one.

This property is a hidden gem - the rooms are clean, airy and well appointed - good fridge, kettle, coffee maker. I love the fact that this is not a “chain hotel” that has character. Service was impeccable. I will for sure go back.

Fantastic location! The views are amazing. You can walk thru all the other hotelsat the cliff, and make it to the beach. A short 90 step down to it, bit rocky ad you get into it but a great walk after.
We had an incredible time here. The sunsets and sunrises were quite special, the ocean mist covering the town was magical. Perfect for families.

I stayed in a room with partial ocean view. They put me in a room that was right next to construction / renovation , and the construction / renovation blocked half of the partial view.
Location was good and the breakfast was okay.
