This hotel is not the cozy beach hotel its website portrays it to be. Its right by the highway and the rooms are smaller than portrayed. My husband was charged 70$ for an "upgrade" when we a) arrived at 10 pm and b) asked for a quiet room after arriving with our 3 yr old and realizing this is a glorified motel 6. The room we were given was a matchbox. This hotel is NOT worth even $100 a night.
I loved it here we went for our anniversary and it was perfect. The staff was very nice it was clean the location is great. We are staying here every year and may 2 or 3 times a year. We have recommended it to everyone we know. It was a little pricey but well worth it.

Reasonable and worth it

Clean and fresh and probably recently updated. The heat was a gas fireplace in our room and more than sufficient. There was no thermostat in the room so don't know how temperatures would be in the rooms in summer but there was a large ceiling fan and big windows. The tall ceilings made our 2nd story large room (two queens) seem even more ...
We had the most wonderful visit at this hotel. We had a wedding to attend on 3/16/08 and my family booked eight (8) rooms and they were all very nice with a fire place in each room. The staff was very polite and helpful especially the girls at the front desk. The breakfast in the morning was awesome and the food was constantly refilled. (Plus they ...

This hotel is one that I will always go back to. The room was amazing w/ a beautiful view of the ocean, the room was clean, the breakfast was good, and the customer service was incredible. We were assisted by Mary from the beginning of our stay until the end. She was very helpful, very friendly, and seemed very sincere when she asked if we had a pleasant stay. We will go back!

Will Stay Again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/13/07
We stayed at Cottage Inn by the Sea in February and it was the nicest room I had stayed in in the Pismo area. The view was beautiful. Our room had a fireplace, nice clean bathroom and the beds were comfy!! The one issue I had was there was no beach access, we had to take a short walk to the neighboring hotel and go through thier property to ...
We stayed here last year and are staying here again this year. The rooms are just lovely. Cozy, quaint and basically a Cottage room. Walls are wallpapered instead of dull paint and the fireplace just adds that special touch. Open your window and hear the ocean for a excellent nights sleep. I would recommend this establishment for both couples and families. A++++++++++++++

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/31/06
room smelled like dirt, carpet very dirty, countertops and toilet seat not clean, left over towels in patio area from previous guest. Didnt feel comfortable walking on floors with bare feet. Will never stay again. Room backed up to noisy freeway.
