"Room was great and staff was very welcoming and friendly. "
Shore Cliff Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Shore Cliff Hotel in Pismo Beach. The room was very clean and offered an amazing ocean view. The staff was courteous, friendly, and always willing to help. The hotel has great amenities and is conveniently located close to the Pismo Pier and all major attractions.
The complimentary American breakfast was very good and a great way to start the day. One of our favorite parts of the stay was walking around the property by the sea - perfect for enjoying a beautiful sunrise or sunset. We would definitely stay here again!"
