What guests think

Pismo Lighthouse Suites draws families with spacious two-bedroom suites, oceanfront views, and a playful courtyard with a pool, hot tub, and games, while friendly staff and a convenient bluff-top location near the beach make stays easy and relaxing.

Many guests praise the included breakfast, though some found it crowded or said the selections and eggs were just average. A recurring complaint is poor soundproofing and courtyard or upstairs noise, with occasional highway noise in freeway-side rooms. Several guests disliked extra charges such as parking and a resort fee, and beach access typically involves a short walk and many stairs. Expect a scenic, highly family-friendly stay with plenty to do, but plan for potential noise and added fees.

Upon check in and throughout our stay staff was wonderful, & very helpful. Wish I would have known at check in though about the free things to borrow like the beach chairs, kites, & boogie boards. We didn't find that out until the night before checking out. But they do let you have the electric bikes for 1 hour for free and then after that it is $20 per hour. Breakfast was delicious! View was amazing! They did a free little gift bag for my daughter's 18th birthday which was sweet! Loved the fire pits and option to purchase the smores kit which we did! Hot tub had an issue staying warm, but it wasn't cold. Loved this Hotel!!! Will defiantly come back!

The location of this property is really nice. It's in walking distance to several great restaurants and the beach. However, the walls are paper thin so it is difficult to really find any peace and quite when you can hear literally EVERYTHING around you. (they do provide ear plugs, but then you can't hear the ocean either...). The pool was closed for renovations while we were there and we weren't given advanced notice, so that was a huge bummer since we were looking forward to spending plenty of time there. Unfortunately, would not stay here again. There are several other places next door that seemed more welcoming, had a nicer pool area with fireplaces, music, etc.

Nice property in a good location if you want to be located a bit away from the pier area. Beach access is via a path that winds through several other hotel properties before coming to a long stairway down. There is a play area with a small play structure, ping pong tables, cornhole, etc. Biggest drawback is that the walls are thin and noise from other guests can carry- from rooms above you as well.

Loved our one night stay here and definitely planning to come back for longer next time. Beds were very comfortable (not soft, yay!), our room was huge, clean and comfortable, breakfast was included and very tasty and satisfying (omelets, sausage, waffles, yoghurts, berries, fruits, a variety of cereals and toasts). Everything we needed was there, including lots of shampoo/wash gel and even a kettle for us tea drinkers! I loved the large and clean jacuzzi which opened early enough that I could get in before going out for the day. There were lots of staff cleaning things in the morning and the whole hotel was very clean. The carpet in our room was very dirty though (black feet after only an hour), so would suggest putting a note outside the rooms requesting that people remove their shoes when indoors. Its not really feasible to shampoo room carpets after each stay. My 2 year old enjoyed the playground on site and mum and dad enjoyed a little bit of ping pong! Coast path is beautiful from hotel but beware the steps down to beach are steep and many! Only a 15 minute walk to Pismo beach and pier though. If staying in the family 2 room suite bring a robe as you'll need to cross the car park to get to the pool area.

Everything was exceptionally clean, which made it all the more comfortable. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!

The stay was great! Kids loved the room and the play area. They also loved the trail to the beach down the side of the mountain. The pool was warm compared to the weather. Everything was great! Including the people at the reception desk. The breakfast was delicious. The only negative for me was the mattress. It was horrible. I had the worst sleep. Every morning, I was super sore and tired from the lack of comfort from the mattress. My husband felt the same way. Kids were fine in their beds. As much as Ioved this place, we might not come back due to the horrible mattress.

I didn’t particularly care for our specific room which was and oceanview (which was incredible) but directly adjacent to the beach access path(which was not stated in the Expedia listing when we booked - or at least I didn’r see it). This resulted in a bit more noise than I was expecting. Also, the occupants in the room above us had small kids who liked to run around and jump off of the furniture morning, noon, and night. Every time the ran or jumped, it sounded like a herd of elephants on our ceiling. We only stayed for one night, but I mentioned this to hotel staff on checkout, and they said we should contact the front desk and they will be happy to address the noise. Overall, this is a nice place to stay (I enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine which was included with our Expedia Silver status).

Great accommodation. Fantastic suite for a family of five with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one room with two queen beds and the other with one king. Reception staff really helpful and friendly, especially Kaylee who went above and beyond to help. Free use of beach boogie boards, beach chairs and parasols that you can collect from reception. Great and easy access to beach. Kaylee recommended Steve’s ATV rentals which were fantastic for quad biking on the sand dunes, kids had a great morning doing this. Nice to have breakfast included. $15 parking charge per day, but only stayed three days so this didn’t add up to too much. Overall we really enjoyed our short stay here, was very relaxing and the best accommodation we’ve been in that accommodates a family of 5.

Front desk staff was courteous and easy to talk to. It is misleading when it says direct beach access, as you have to walk past 3 other hotels and down a considerable few flights of stairs to actually get to the beach. The rooms were nice, clean and spacious, however very noisy. Even gently walking sounded like we were stomping and the walls shook. We did not have an ocean view so the window could benefit from black out curtains. The kids play area was great, the play structure, chess, etc were fun but you have to pay $0.25 for a ping pong ball or golf ball. The mini golf is really just a small putting green with three holes. And the balls easily go off the side of the railing so you have to fish for them. Continental breakfast was good with plenty of choices. We’d definitely stay again.

This is a fine family friendly place, it it limited on dining options nearby and when we did walk to a location nearby there was no sidewalk and near the freeway which seemed unsafe. Overall, I would stay here again, just more aware of the limitations of the location and not having easy access to the beach as I originally was under the impression that we would have.
