I hope we are able to come back here plenty of times in the future. Can't thank the staff enough for making this a perfect getaway.

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.

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.

However, during this recent visit, we did not feel welcomed. When my wife and I approached the front desk for check‑in, the older female employee working the reception (possibly named Debbie or starting with a "D") told us she had not called us yet, even though it was clearly our turn in line. I apologized and stepped back, and only a few seconds later she did not greet us instead up front asked if we had a reservation. From the beginning, her demeanor toward us felt unfriendly and dismissive. We had booked an Ocean View King with a patio, but we were assigned a fourth‑floor room on the east wing of the hotel with only a partial ocean view and a strong smell of urine. it turns out this area of the building are pet friendly. We returned to the front desk, waited again, and when she called us over with "What's up," I explained the issue. She was quiet for a moment, then reassigned us to the main building second‑floor room above the reception area and informed us that no patio rooms were available. Her behavior throughout the check‑in process was discouraging and made us feel unwelcome, which was disappointing--especially considering we spent over $850 for a two‑night stay. However, a part from this staff issue, Seacrest is a great place to stay, the complementary breakfast is great! but yes that one staff was not the greatest...

First, the good: the staff was fantastic, even dealing with all the difficulties with the property. Always a great attitude and very helpful. So hats off to them. The design and style of the rooms is very nice. Room was very clean. I think the current issue is that property ownership is making some poor choices. Our building was clearly still being worked on. Our first room that we checked in to, when we arrived, the shower was taken apart and a plumber was in the room working on it. We went back to the front desk, and they had no other rooms that were the same, but they got us another room that worked. Unfortunately, the building was running off a generator, and we lost power a couple of times, but it was restored after about 30 minutes. My mom was staying at the hotel as well, and dealt with ants for two days. The hotel did comp her the two days, but she had to move rooms. I think the ownership just reopened too early and should have kept parts of the property closed until they were completely finished. I stayed at the Shorecliff (previous name of the property) last year and it was nice, if a little dated. Not sure why these major systems are not working now. When everything was fine last year. Also, why are they charging $15/day for parking and a $35/day resort fee? It's not fancy like that, I don't think you get a good value for the added fees. Also no breakfast, you have to pay $25 for breakfast buffet that you could get included in your stay in a bunch of other places in Pismo. So yeah, maybe wait until they finish construction.

Gorgeous views. Great spa vibes. The rooms are lovely. Yes sometimes you can hear the plumbing but it's not a moment ruining sound and it's short. Beds are very comfortable! Water pressure is good. The walk down to the beach is breath taking, just be careful in the water; it's a bit rocky (not a hotel problem). The pool and hot tub is where I spent most of my time. I do wish there were stricter no kids at the pool times so adults can enjoy the water in peace for a few hours a day, reading by the pool is hard when kids are screaming and splashing. Since this is a spa and hotel I think there should be a bit more structure to that aspect for the folks trying to escape and relax. There is a non enforced 9-10 pm hot tub adults only rule. The pool staff is great! They are running around taking your food and drink orders till 6 pm and bring it to you! Nice touch. The restaurant has great views and good food. I think since this restaurant is also a local spot they curate the seasoning to an older crowd so the salt was lacking, but easy fix, just add some salt to your food or ask for it to be seasoned well. The cocktail menu could use a revamp, not a dig on the bar tenders though; those folks were hustling and getting drinks out fast. The gift shop is great. Lots of cute nicnacs and most importantly they have sunscreen and aloe spray. Front desk staff are so attentive and kind, 10/10 to Mikayla! Honestly I had an amazing time. Thank you to all the staff.

The bed was super comfortable, the room was nice, and we loved having an ocean view. Waking up to that view every morning was definitely one of the highlights. One of my favorite things was the walking path along the bluff right behind the hotel. It was perfect for taking a morning or evening stroll while enjoying the ocean. The hotel is also only about a 10-minute walk to the Pismo Beach Pier and downtown, so it was nice to be close enough to walk without feeling like you were right in the middle of all the crowds. Parking was easy, the shower was great, and the TV and room overall made it feel like a comfortable place to come back to after exploring. I'd also definitely recommend sitting by one of the fire pits if you get the chance--it was one of our favorite parts of the trip! If you're going with a bigger group, I'd suggest bringing your own s'mores since the kits sold at the hotel can add up. But if it's just a couple of people, the kit is a fun little treat and worth it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely stay here again. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Pismo Beach!

Mr Taylor K Please…read moredon't make it seem like you offered a substantial amount as a gesture. I paid over $2000. You offered me $600 which was the night that was the least expensive.

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.

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.

I booked a room before reading reviews because it was part of the American Express "Hotel Collection." Usually, I don't worry about issues since they promote it. We stayed in room 205. I chose it because it was far from the elevator and on the opposite side of the street from the nightclub. Little did I know, we were actually right above the lobby kitchen. On our first morning, my wife said it sounded like they were doing maintenance because it was so loud, I was dead asleep! On the second night, we were woken around 5am to music so loud I could make out the words. At first, I thought, "maybe it's the bar across the street and they should be closing soon," since I thought it was still before 2am since the blinds were closed. I was wrong the music kept going. Eventually, I couldn't stand it anymore and got up, realizing it was almost 6am!!! I got up and followed the sound. Using the stairs next to my room, I found the music coming from inside the kitchen right below us. I went in and saw no one there! I went around the building through the front door and found no one there, I used the kitchen door by the lobby to see if I could spot an employee, but there was no one. When I turned back towards the lobby, the front desk attendant was returning and asked if I needed help. I told him, "Yes, turn the music down! It's 6am!" I went back to my room, but I was already awake. I could still hear it, though not as loud. Management should do a better job of enforcing quiet hours; this should not be a free-for-all, especially as the price wasn't cheap. I will not be returning to this property. My wife said, "this is the loudest hotel we've ever stayed at!" We did enjoy the beach chairs, bikes and happy hour up on the roof. Bartender service up there, not so much. Not a good choice on a wedding anniversary trip.
