Dune Surfer Inn

No breakfast worst thing no ice

Easy parking, good location, good restaurant across the street. Clean room and pet friendly.

The facility has just been renovated. New beds, new HBAC unit, working internet, Roku video streaming available and fresh paint. However, coming from a tour trip on the 2nd, the door keys did not work. I have to call and wait for service.

Courteous staff. Reception usually closed and need to call for service. Comfortable beds. Bathroom heat light not working. Mini fridge a d microwave in room but no coffee.

There was no ice, no coffee maker in the room. Did have refrigerator and microwave. There was coffee in the office.

The place is nice and clean newly renovated. Walking distance to the beach .Dog friendly and there is a park nearby you can take your dog. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended.

It was like going to a 1990s hotel and paying for a 2024 hotel Our ac was broken missing buttons would turn on and off. Hot water was sometime working sometimes not. No iron No coffee machine.

Easy parking and checkin process

The on-site manager was very pleasant & courteous in getting us checked in as well as provided quick assistance to us whenever we needed during our stay. Pets are welcome for an additional fee. Our 2-bed room was rather basic, but clean and maintained. The walls were kinda thin; we heard someone snoring above us one night...LOL! The area surrounding the hotel was pretty crowded being near a residential area & an RV park, & the streets were pretty busy during the day with commuter & beach-going traffic. But it was relatively peaceful & easy going throughout our 2-night stay, particularly after sundown. The hotel's location provided access a number of walking-distance amenities: The beach, a couple of restaurants, a convenience store, a dog-friendly park with a lagoon, & gift-shopping. It was also a short driving distance to the freeway & additional shopping, dining, & beach access. Nitpicks notwithstanding, it was a very relaxing & enjoyable stay that we wouldn't mind repeating.

The property was exactly as advertised. No frills and clean, with all the basic amenities. The staff was kind and attentive and made the stay enjoyable for me and my dog.. With only a 5 minute walk to an epic beach, I will stay here again when I am in the area. Very satisfied.

Room was nice and clean. Staff was friendly.

This was my second time staying at the hotel and it was not a good experience!! The tv service didn’t work my entire time there and the desk person wasn’t too concerned because he just started or just didn’t care!! I gave it a second chance because I like the area and the closeness to the beach. The rooms need to have the carpet shampooed!! I have 2 French or and love animals but it you are going to allow pets the least you can do with a carpeted wis clean the carpet every now and again!!! It makes the room smell really bad!! The garbage cans are always overflowing, at least the times I stayed there! Other than that it’s quiet and could be such a better experience with a few changes in upkeep. The carpet is a must though!!!

Staying at an "Inn" with over 9.0 on Expedia seemed like a no-brainer, so I didn't dig deep into what I was getting my family into. When we pulled up, our GPS took us into the parking lot of the liquor store directly next to the motel, where a police car had its lights on and was talking to one person while multiple homeless people sat nearby. We parked near that situation and went into the lobby, which was one small, dingy room. The front desk receptionist was kind and helpful, there's my only positive part of this review. Our room looked okay, but both beds had very sandy sheets and the walls were so thin that even with my white noise blasting, we could hear the neighbors talking (or maybe it was their TV?) through the whole night. I don't want to brag, but I'm really good at sleeping. It takes some NOISE to keep me up. This definitely felt more like a Motel 6 kind of place, and I am convinced that they have padded these positive reviews. There's just NO way this many people thought this motel was an excellent inn.

Great stay! Front desk was very nice and helpful. Room was very clean

We were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of this Inn. The beds were comfortable, and the shower had nice hot water. Everyone we spoke with was very friendly and all requests for items were brought to the room quickly. We would stay here again.

Floor was dirty. I walked barefooted and felt the dirt stick several times.

Scam hotel. Checked into our room. The room smelled disgusting. Noticed patch marks all over the walls, stains on the carpet and bedding, dirt piled in corners of bathtub. The freezer looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Two bed room and one of the beds looked like two futon mattresses pulled on each other. Further investigation found what looked to be bleach or luminol stains on the wall. Whole room had the feel that a crime scene unit was there recently and the room hadn't been cleaned since. Would not sit or touch any surface, much less sleep in one of the beds. Talked to hotels.com and they advised us to talk to the front desk. Was told that the guy at the front couldn't issue a refund and we had to call some other guy in southern California for a refund. When we finally got ahold of him, he told us he wouldn't refund the first night since we already checked in, but would refund the second night. This refund was never processed. This whole place was a scam from the jump. Never offered us a different room, never wanted to help and only cared about keeping our money. Your room was absolutely filthy, and your front desk guy knew it since he told us it needed paint. You screwed us over completely and are the type of run down hotel that shouldn't be on this site.

Great location, very clean, wonderful owner.

The blanket was not clean, there was a suspicious white stain on it, there was what i can only hope is cornflakes on the ground around the toilet,dried urine on the toilet, and a short dark curly hair in the tub.

Clean room clean bed clean towels. Close to food stores and beach. Will book again

Check in was a breeze with Josh. They’ve done a great job remodeling very comfortable mattress, but the pillows were too soft. It was quiet at night, but road traffic woke me up in the morning because our room was in the front overall it was a great experience.

The internet wasn't working and tv only worked with the internet.

2 star hotel. Front desk wasn't helpful. Asked where to get clam chowder and the front desk said, " I don't know what that is..." The area is KNOWN for clam chowder. Room was super basic. I asked for a quiet room, and they put me on the corner next to the street. Only 2 other cars in the parking lot.

Smallest room ever. One chair, no desk or table. Asked for a second chair. Grudgingly gave us a second very odd uncomfortable chair. No closet! Not one single hook anywhere to hang ANYTHING. inadequate lighting. Fan in bathroom needs replacing. Rattles and bangs. Only 2 paper cups for drinks and coffee. Not enough plugins for phones and chargers. No ice machine. Manager unfriendly. Young lady who checked me in was very pleasant. Room not cleaned between the two days of our stay. Asked for a do not disturb sign thinking they might actually clean the room each day which they did not. Grumpily told they didn’t have any such thing. Only positive was it was a clean room when we arrived.

The hallway light at night made the room too lit. The curtains weren’t effective. This was the only complaint. Everything else was great.

The hotel is 5-10 min walk to the Oceano beach, so if you want to be near Sand dunes or just the beach, it’s a good place. Our room faced highway 1 , so we can definitely hear all the cars , but we stayed during the week so it wasn’t that bad . The only two things I would say can be better is the bathroom fan (very loud), and the blankets were super thin. There should be extra blankets because the room is cold , and while there is a heater it makes the room too stuffy. I think adding warm blankets or improving thermo isolation will help. The room is very clean and has fridge and microwave , shower water hot. Staff is very nice!

Walkable to the beach & county park. Traffic noise and a/c unit was loud and somewhat annoying.

Entire annex had no hot water. Replacement not scheduled till next day. Property should not have been rentable w/o hot water. Staff was nice. Location great. Nice property except for the hot water. Shiite happens.

I have stayed in multiple places over the last week on a road trip and I have to say this property was the biggest let down and worst stay on my trip. Where do I even begin. It was such an awful time. The shower curtain was dirty and had visible mold on it. The shower didnt work and was very cheap and poor quality. When I arrived no one was there and there was another person waiting for someone to arrive to check in. There was a sign on the door saying they would be back in an hour with no number to call or time to return. It was extremely frustrating and the room was not refundable. The bed only had a sheet on it and another thin blanket, there was no duvet on the bed. It looks cute on the outside but is extremely poorly run and the guy at the front desk was very rude and explained he was the only person working there and had three jobs, after waiting in the dark and the rain for an hour for him to come back to check in. Before the guy who could actually check me in showed up, another guy showed up who was drunk and was trying to let me in my room but his key card didnt work. It was a total nightmare. I asked if I could have a late checked out because I was so tired from driving 6 hours, and he said NO - and that each hour over would be another 20 dollars. I couldn't believe it, especially after how terrible the check in process was. There are yappy dogs next to the check in area that bark uncontrollably while you are trying to talk with the front desk guy.

Kayla the front desk agent was so friendly and accommodating. I did a late check in and she made sure my service animal and I had everything we needed at such a late hour. Thank you for the great service and hospitality, Kayla! Would recommend this humble gem 10/10!

The staff was wonderful, very kind and accommodating! The room was nice and clean with a nice television and good selection of programming. I would definitely book my return stay at this hotel.

You never know what will happen traveling with children. They went above and beyond to help us with all our needs! Never acted like we were a bother.

I wish the owners cared more. It's a great area, but the fact they aren't then there and you have to wait on them to come from home or wherever they are to check in is terrible. A little maintenance would go a long way here.

We had a great stay. The setvice was excellent especially George.

Close to beach access

Great location near the dunes. Very affordable.

The property looks newly renovated and is very clean and without wear inside the rooms. The front desk was professional and efficient in getting us checked in. The a/c blew really cold on the bed next to it and there wasnt a blanket just sheets and a duvee. The room could also use a second waste bin although there was a larger waste recepticle in the walk way. Its about a 5 min drive to downtown Pismo Beach and about a 15 min walk to the Oceano beach. There is a market next door which is very convenient as well. If your main goal is to spend the day at the beach you can't beat this for the price and location.

Very close to the beach and downtown. The room is spacious. Monica hospitality is top notch, great smile, great help with great knowledge about the areas.

Easy check in. Great location

The motel is right by the beach (10 min walk) so it’s very convenient. Room was a nice size and very clean, especially for the price. Will come back.

Clean room clean bed clean towels. Close to food stores and beach. Will book again

Its in a great safe location. There's a store right next to it and a Mexican restaurant across the street. Its walking distance to the Oceano beach/Dunes.

Great locale walkable to beach. Cute 50’s theme diner and Mexican restaurant walkable. No parking for our RV! We got creative and made it work for the night. Clean room, great deep bathtub with hot water…though no washcloths in the room, and the person at the desk wasn’t the most hospitable. Super comfortable beds! Overall, we would definitely stay again coming through Pismo Beach!

Second time staying here and I'm happy to say that that it was a great experience. The room was super clean and the guy that checked us in was so friendly. Love it here , there's a restaurant across the street and a liquor store next door, so convenient .

Clean room and great staff. Easy walk to the beach. Dinning walking distance.

There was no ice, no coffee maker in the room. Did have refrigerator and microwave. There was coffee in the office.

Friendly staff! Quick check-in. Close to the beach and some really good restaurants, so, really good location.

Like: Oceano Beach is walkable. Nice Mexican restaurant across the street. Near the city center. Dislike: No coffee maker. no hangers

THis is an awesome hotel! Great good across the street and little store next door. My only suggestion is to provide coffee in the AM. No coffee in the lobby and no coffee in the room! Even the store next door had only cold coffees. I had to drive over a mile to get a cup of joe. But, other than than little detail, it is a wonderful place to stay right down the street from an awesome beach and the lady who checked me is was so kind and polite and fun. I will come back again with my little pug for sure!!!
