    Looking thru the photos from other guests we must have gotten lucky since our room was clean and well decorated. The unique thing about this place is how some of the units are outside of the compound. But location is overall safe.

    Wonderful stay and we will definitely return! The name leads one to think that this is a standard hotel. Far from the reality that each "room" is actually a managed condo. The two star rating should be replaced by a 4 star rating. Our condo (#608) was wonderfully decorated and like new in every way. Top of the line small appliances fill the clean and tidy kitchen with 4 burner gas stove/oven and 3/4 fridge/freezer. The living room with pull out bed sits near the gas fireplace. A flatscreen TV (w/DVD), coffee table and secretary desk makes for a welcoming space. This area is separated by a pocket door from the bedroom. A large king size bed with comfortable linens and a ton of pillows gave a restful sleep without any disturbances or outdoor noises. A high table with chairs sits next to the window and a smaller flat screen TV w/DVD sits on a dresser. Bathroom has open sink area and enclosed bath/shower and commode. Plenty of towels and small toiletries. Very clean and well cared for. So glad that we passed by the Pismo Beach hotels and stumbled upon this wonderful property after a sunset drive on the beach. We will certainly be back! Oh, by the way.... $89 for the night! (mid September) WOW!!! What an incredible deal!

    What a hidden gem. Definitely staying again in the future. The suites are totally worth it. The decor totally sets the mood. Super convenient location. Liquor store across the street. A quick walk to a beach and also a restaurant by the light. You can heart the ocean in the room even with windows and door closed. Not crowded at all, such a quiet location and attractions like the Monarch butterfly cove are a quick 10 min drive. 2nd floor suites have a private patio. Can't wait to go back.

    AC disconnected

    Don't waste your money. Location is fabulous, but that's about it. Problems getting an itemized bill, no day to day service, kitchen is BARELY stocked-not even salt and pepper, no instructions for ANYTHING, couldn't get either TV's to work, nobody answered the office phone to get help, lamps all unplugged, shower head calcified with a dribble of water, sofa bed? OMG, not foam, SPRINGS,worst ever, King size in bedroom actually pretty good. $75 a night...pushing it. $250? You're kidding me. Finally, homeless people in beat campers lining the street, very loud.

    Some might think it's outdated or old, but I think it has a nice beach feel to it. It's literally right down the street from the Sand Dunes too! The place reminded me of a mini beach cottage or a small air bnb rather than a hotel. The room had a mini kitchen, living room, and a HUGE BED! The living room had a nice flat screen tv and the bed room had a regular older box tv. Everything was very clean and stocked. There were dvds and game boards in the living room cabinets and the kitchen had utensils and basic kitchen supplies! For under $100/night, I highly recommend this place if you plan to be around Pismo, SLO, or Avila area.

    I forgot to take photos before we "lived" in the room, so please forgive the messy bed :)

Be warned, if you go down... you have to climb the stairs back up. LOL. We walked from the hotel on the beach to the Pismo Beach Pier. Leisurely walk was nice but the climb up the stairs can be challenging. LOL. The room was clean and had a small fridge and all the amenities including a kuerig coffee maker. The hotel complimentary breakfast starts at 7am. Eggs, sausage, bagels, waffle and toast. Enough to get your day started. The property is dog friendly and lots of guests have dogs on a leash walking around. The summer we went, there are families with kids. Fun times for all. Our deluxe room comes with a $10 free drink each nice. Also, can't forget the cookies at 3pm. I would return to SeaCrest Ocean Front Hotel.

    Over $600/night for these accommodations did not meet our satisfaction. First off, the area looked…read morelike a motel in the backside going into the property. There was no parking when we arrived at 7pm. Looked like anyone can park here and access the coast without staying here as it's all open. The seating on the property was nice with beach views however super full and busy. The ac wall unit was super loud and made it difficult to sleep. Bed and pillows not comfy. Water pressure really slow. Kids loud in the hallways late at night. Our tv channels were not working on our first night. I texted our virtual concierge the following day and they addressed the issue with TV channels and our lock box being locked upon arrival. I chose a partial ocean view and it was pretty disappointing, I saw someone's back yard for the most part. The continental breakfast was not good. What was okay was the pack of Quaker oatmeal, a banana, and great was coffee/tea available at all times. The location was okay-- was able to. Walk half mile or so to get to restaurants. Would not stay here again.

Unfortunately, our stay was filled with several maintenance and service issues. The elevator felt unsafe, the doors opened before the elevator had fully reached the floor, which was concerning. About an hour after checking in, we went to the pool. There was only one other guest there, but the towel rack was completely empty. Thankfully, we had brought our own towels. A staff member later came out to restock them. The pool itself was okay, although there were quite a few bugs in the water. The jacuzzi looked like it needed maintenance or a fresh coat of paint because it appeared greenish-brown, and there were no umbrellas or shade available around the pool. When we returned to our room, our key card had stopped working. We had to call the front desk from my personal phone, and a staff member kindly brought us a new key. We appreciated his prompt help. However, after returning from dinner later that evening, our key card stopped working again. The room also needed better upkeep. The shower tub had visible stains that made it appear unclean. The ice machine on our floor was out of service, so we had to go to the lobby for ice. We also noticed curtain rods left on the floor, which made the hallway look unfinished and poorly maintained. The staff members we interacted with were courteous and helpful, especially the employee who restocked the pool towels and assisted us with our room keys. However, the number of maintenance issues and inconveniences made this stay disappointing. For the price we paid, we expected a much better experience. Unfortunately, we ran into several issues during our stay that made it difficult to feel the value matched the cost. While there were aspects that were disappointing, we did appreciate being able to check out late, and the pet-friendly accommodations were a definite plus. Those conveniences were helpful, but overall, the number of issues we encountered outweighed the positives.

The room was very clean, and the hotel itself was well maintained. One thing to note is that the bathrooms have an open concept shower, so water can splash onto the floor. Putting down a towel helps, but it's something to be aware of. The hotel also has a small convenience shop in the lobby with snacks, drinks, and essentials like headache medicine. It isn't a huge selection, but with so many stores nearby, it wasn't an issue. They offer on site parking for a fee, which was convenient, and one of my favorite features was the rooftop area it's a great place to relax, eat, and enjoy the atmosphere. Overall, I had a great stay and would definitely choose this hotel again.

    My stay at this hotel reinforced my typical policy of only staying at non-chain hotels. Never…read moreagain! The main thing is a complete lack of accountability and zero effort to remedy the situation. Here's what happened.. I stayed here with a friend and we were super excited because it was our first trip together and our dogs were joining. We knew that we didn't want to swim in the ocean on this trip, so the MOST important factor in choosing this hotel was the ability to let our dogs in the pool area (not IN the pool of course, but just inside the gated area, like by our lounge chairs). In fact, this was the ONLY REASON we chose this hotel over another hotel that was otherwise objectively better. We confirmed TWICE with Hilton that dogs were allowed in the gated pool area. First we called, and there was a tough accent to understand but they said dogs were allowed if they wore diapers (???). We called a second time to make sure we heard correctly - a different person picked up and yes dogs are allowed in the gated pool area, no diaper necessary. For both of these calls, we called the phone number on the Hilton website, on the page for this *specific location* (not the general corporate number, obviously). So *surprise surprise* when we arrive, exhausted from hours of driving, the front desk tells us that that information was not correct. NO dogs allowed in the gated pool area. ALSO dogs are not allowed alone in the rooms, so basically there was no way for us to use the pool since we couldn't keep the dogs in the room (alone) nor the pool area with us. No apology, barely sympathetic, and zero offer to compensate us in any way or anything complementary as a good faith gesture. I'm furious at this point, so we go to the front desk again. We explain the situation (I think to the manager at this point?) in detail. She said that we didn't call the direct line to the hotel, that I guess that line was to the broader Hilton brand (like a call center?), and we should've done that to get the correct answer. She made it seem like it was *our fault* rather than what was obviously their fault. Because according to her, essentially we should've known that: a) the phone number listed FOR THAT LOCATION, ON THE OFFICIAL HILTON WEBSITE was NOT the direct line b) we should've gone on a wild goose chase for that actual direct number c) we should've known to not believe what two separate official Hilton employees told us was a lie. Excuse me.....?????? I reiterate, this was literally the ONLY REASON we chose this hotel. At this point I'm so frustrated because we are so far beyond the original issue. Ok I get that dogs aren't allowed in the area (I'm not challenging the policy, and I never did). I even can understand that SOMEHOW we should've been mind readers and known to not trust the phone number on the official site and to not trust anyone who speaks to us on that line. But for the manager to not apologize, to barely show compassion, to make it seem like it's our fault, to take ZERO accountability for the ridiculous situation, and on top of that, not even offer us a discount or like a free drink because god forbid they spend $5 on us - THATS what I take issue with. I mean I take issue with it all, but extremely basic hospitality would've at least made us feel a tiny bit better about it. Wild. She also didn't seem to grasp any of this. She kept saying that it's the official policy that dogs can't go in the area, but at that point I was explaining how I'm taking issue with how she was handling the whole situation. I never expected them to bend the dog policy - I get they have no control over that. We keep talking past each other. We ended up calling the front desk later and explaining how the situation didn't sit well with us for all of the reasons above, and now directly ask if there's anything they could do to make it up to us, like a complimentary drink or breakfast. Again, this was the only reason we chose this hotel!! Our trip CENTERED ON CHOOSING THIS HOTEL. In the end they gave us a measly amount of points, which went to my friend who booked the trip, I got nothing, and that was that. So here's my takeaway: if you have any sort of issue come up, you can expect them to show no sympathy, take ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY, and take no steps to remedy the situation or give a half hearted complementary gesture. I should've known to not trust a mega chain that doesn't give a crap about their obvious error. They have your payment already, so why should they?? My eyes are rolling out of my head.
