Nice view but that’s about it. We checked in around 5pm and left to see a local concert. Upon our return, we were greeted by 2nd story stomping from the hours of 2-4am and also 8-10am. If you are staying here to sleep think again. The worst part is the front desk would rather argue with you endlessly than just refund your stay for a night like this. Says a lot about what they think of their “customers”. Oh and the sinks are low flow so good luck washing your hands lol! Will not be returning.

This was our fourth stay at the Inn at the Cove. It’s our “go to” while visiting Pismo. The rooms are wonderful! Very clean and it’s nicely decorated. We select the room with the ocean view however all rooms have a beautiful view. The grounds have lots of walking trails with scattered seating to sit and gaze at the ocean. The hotel has a nice pool and a great breakfast is included in your stay.
