Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provides spacious rooms with very comfortable beds, but the lack of air flow made it warm at night. The location is ideal for local travelers and offers access to a private beach. Dining shines with outstanding options like stuffed French toast. Service encompasses a mix of snarky and helpful interactions. Facilities are decent, with homemade soups available. Price may vary depending on the amenities included in the base rate.
I had a fantastic time at the hotel! The rooms were great for families, and the kids had a blast playing in the lawn with an incredible view of the ocean. However, the rooms could get a bit stuffy at night in the summer. The service was friendly overall, but there were some hiccups during check-in. The location was spectacular with beautiful views overlooking the coast, but it was a bit isolated with nothing around to walk to. The dining options were expensive, but I enjoyed the seafood. The facilities were top-notch, especially the fire pit and grounds.
The hotel is ideally located right on the wonderful coast of Pismo Beach, making it a favorite spot for travelers seeking a convenient stay. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but the lack of air conditioning may pose a challenge during warm weather. The service provided by the staff is lovely and helpful, offering local information to enhance the stay. Dining options are excellent, especially the stuffed French toast and fruit plate, although prices may be higher. The facilities, including the pool and beach access, add to the overall experience of the hotel.
My stay at Spyglass hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were beautifully furnished, impeccably clean, and incredibly comfortable, offering a great view right above the washroom. The service was off the charts nice, especially when they helped me choose the best room. The location was perfect, close to the coastal path, with lovely landscaping, and a stunning view from the patio. The dining experience at the onsite restaurant was taste shattering by the fire pit. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel had a lovely location with stunning views, although the restaurant was not up to standard. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, making the stay pleasant overall.
