Room with ocean and pier view
We only had one night, but waking up to the beautiful ocean view after a great night's sleep in a very comfy bed - perfect! Enjoyed the complimentary breakfast followed by a walk along the cliff with stunning views before our drive home. We'll be back!

Great visit.
The location is excellent. Great views. Great service. Great value!
I stayed here many times with my family as a child, and it still holds up 35-50 years later.
Earlier gym hours would be great, and while the breakfast selections were good, the quality could use an upgrade.
Besides that, it was a great visit. Will be back.

Such good value for the money. The staff was very eager to accommodate. Had an issue with plumbing and notified the staff the next morning they were extremely apologetic and handled it well.

The place is nice and rooms are good but was not aware that there is construction going on so the ocean view and ambience was gone once construction started. It would have been nice to know before booking.

Great place to enjoy the ocean.
Shore Cliff is on a beautiful part of the California coast. The views from many of the rooms are gorgeous. The rooms are large and comfortable. This is our second time here because it is a fun place to stay and we enjoy the town of Pismo Beach and the surrounding area.

Great location with lovely views and a walking trail along the ocean. Very quiet and relaxing area. The room was clean and well-appointed, with a comfy bed, fridge, microwave, and balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. Nice breakfast, but the food wasn't always hot as we'd like. Overall, a great visit.
