Shell Beach Inn, Shell Beach

Originally booked a room for two nights in advance and when we had gotten there we were greeted by a lady in PJ's which I found inappropriate attire. She then charged us a higher rate then what was originally quoted AND telling us we had to switch rooms after the first night into another unit but knew she could get away with it because all the hotels are pretty much booked at Pismo Beach during the summertime. Don't be fooled by the pics on their website, their rooms are very small like sea shells and shabby. Also a warning, don't park underneath the tree area or your car will come out looking like poop as there is a flock of birds that nest there at night and your car will be pooped on. We actually had people staring at our car suggesting we get a car wash which we did. If I had ten thumbs I'd give this place ten thumbs down!

My wife and I were looking to leave the valley heat for the weekend. I was skeptical about the price because everything else was $300 - $400 a night. We now refer to it as our little secrete beach house. It was really the nicest weekend we have had all summer.
