Ocean Breeze Inn

Only giving the one star to give a review. If it quacks like a disgusting motel then it most likely is. The owners have NO CLUE on owning property. IMPROVE YOUR WAYS… and they will come (and probably give u decent review) But these money hungry, reservations will always come in because of our location, clueless, yelling in the parking lot, broadcasting roach motel kings need help. Although they probably wouldn’t entertain Anthony Melchiorri from hotel impossible, they really should. NEVER GOING BACK, NEVER RECOMMENDING. And if u ever do go there, don’t say you weren’t warned.

We figured the place wouldn’t be stellar for the price, but it was clean, the bed was comfy. Downside was office wasn’t open (@7:30) so couldn’t get coffee. Guy at the desk was kind of grumpy, but who cares it was only one night. Great location, short walk to the pier and right next to the main drag.

Clean, basic room for a mid road trip overnight. Great location but if I was in Pismo for a longer stay I would want to be much more comfortable. Bed was hard. Fridge was loud. Door and windows are not secure. Very old lighting and poor circulation. No coffee maker, etc. A clean place to crash, but not comfy enough for a longer stay.

Had to cancel our reservation this weekend due to work obligations related to the Valley Fire in Lake Co. Called hotel and explained this, wouldn’t refund 100% and had to keep $ 25 «beyond his control» due to Auditors. Way to show your support to those effected by the fires. We know where NOT to stay when we return to the area!

Wish I could say something nice. But we have listened to the wife of the management team bitch from the moment we got up until now. What an unhappy couple and it permeates this motel. I asked about urgent care and she begrudgingly looked it up online. I fell in the parking lot, in front of the husband, and he turned and walked the other way. Never asked if I was ok. Will we stay here ever again? Absolutely not. I came to relax and enjoy the ocean. Not listen to a wife berate her husband at every turn and be rude to the guest. Do not stay here.

Good location, management sucks. We were in the parking getting ready for our day and the manager runs out charging at us screaming. Saying that he’s gonna kick us out for writing a bad review that he read online. What? We didn’t even write one yet, but I am now!!! No shame what so ever! DON’T EVER STAY HERE, false advertising on pool and kitchen that font even work. No wifi either! The manager is a DOUCHE

The room smelt like bleach, sheets were dirty and stained, the pool was closed, ceiling fan was filthy, our fridge was in the bathroom under the sink-​gross, towels were like drying off with sand paper, bed was uncomfortable, and the air conditioning didn’t work. When I called to ask how the AC turned on, the lady at the desk said there is no AC in pismo beach, so I called over to edgewater literally half a block away and they said they do in fact have AC. Only plus is that it’s right next to the beach. Do yourself a favor and read everyone’s reviews and go elsewhere

If I could give this place a zero I would!
The room was dirty, the ceiling fan had at least a half an inch of dust on it, the decorative pillows were stained with God only knows what, the furniture was run down and looked like it was something left over from another hotels remodel. We paid for two nights, but the noise level and clientele the frequents this place is less than desirable. I asked for our money back on the second night and the manager said no, a lot of people ask for the second night back because this place gets loud at night and there is frequently trouble. He also said the cops sit outside the parking lot in unmarked cars because there’s so much trouble here.
Needless to say we are packing up and leaving this place.

I’ll give one star for being close to the beach and everything really important in Pismo. The owners were extremely rude the only polite people at this place has been room keeping. Their website says they offer roll out beds but they no longer do you have to book a whole new room if you have more than 4 people. Beds are so uncomfortable I woke up in a lot of pain not to mention the massive amount of stains on the sheets and pillow cases. The website says complementary wifi but they fail to mention it’s only in the lobby unless you want to pay hourly, weekly or monthly there is not a daily option. Parking is limited so get here early or as close to check in as possible. The heater in our room read as off but ran all night and we were burning up the whole time. The showers change from either scolding hot to freezing cold there is no set temperature it changes on you at any set time. When we asked to get a left behind pillow in the extra room we had to book we received major attitude from both the owner and his wife accusing us of smoking and also accused us of not using the room which my mother and I did after attending a concert at the midstate fair. This place isn’t what it used to be back in the day do yourself a favor and spend a few extra bucks and stay somewhere else.

NOPE. The place is disgusting. The room reeks of bleach so badly that it is suffocating. We should have done more research before checking in because had we known how trashy it is we would never have booked in the first place. We literally checked in, moved the suitcase in, assessed our surroundings, moved everything out and drove away writhing 10 minutes. On top of that canceling with Ed was Not going to happen. We could not cancel and we’re stuck with the tab for a room we didn’t use. ON A PEAK WEEKEND. They easily could have sold the room to someone else. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I would rather sleep in my car. One star is generous in my opinion.

To start we only wanted what was offered and advertised. So this friendly inn is definitely not friendly. The people that run it live up to previous reviews. We booked our room online. The room advertised two room suite, living room and full kitchen. After booking room we called to ensure that we got the room we saw. So needless to say when we got to the so called «friendly inn» we were quite dismayed to be told that not only was the room we booked not available but that it was“not offered online.” We then were given another room. After hauling up 160.00 in groceries and our luggage in we decided to start preparing dinner to find there was a stove but it was not even hooked up. Called front desk «gentleman» proceeded to tell us that we got the room for a good rate and that they weren’t offering the stove but we were provided an eating area and no partial refund would be given for the false advertisement of a full kitchen. The bed linen had stains front deck said «we can’t do anything about that.» Closet had some kind of powder all over it. The owners or managers were rude and should NOT be working with the public. I will not be staying there again. They do not care as people will continue to book rooms even though it is extremely obvious the owners do not give a damn about the conditions of rooms or the amenities they advertise to provide. Overall a complete joke. I have never been inclined to review on a location but this was completely unacceptable from a consumer stand point. The one star is for location only. Parking terrible noise terrible MANAGEMENT TERRIBLE they just don’t care!

The hotel is in an excellent location. The beach and shops were less than 5 min away! The reason I gave this place 2 stars is because 1. The price 2. My shower leaked 3. The room I stayed in was very small 4. No closet to hang clothes 5. My outlet in bathroom did not work. 6. No maid service until check out. To be fair, I did stay here on the weekend so of course the price is higher. But with all the negatives. Should of been cheaper.lol. I would stay again, because the location is awesome, my room was very clean, I got an awesome breeze from the ocean, and it was very peaceful!

Location is the best thing about this property. It is a very short walk to the beach and pier. Close to everything downtown. Because it’s downtown you hear the street sweepers at around 4:00 a.m.
The website says they have in indoor heated pool but it has been closed for over a year and a half and management says it won’t ever reopen
We were told we would have a microwave oven in our room but upon arriving we found that was not the case. Management stated that the microwave kept blowing a fuse so we couldn’t have one in our room.
We were given only one key to the room and when we asked for an extra key, he told us he’d have to look for it. We never saw an extra key.
There is no way to adjust the temperature in your room, the management controls that. Also, the towels were very rough and minimalistic. One hand towel, one wash cloth and two bath towels for two people. The room was clean and the housekeeper was very pleasant.
Over all the manager appears to hate his job and has no clue about the meaning of hospitality.

Fantastically Crappy.
Star one — Price
Star two — no bugs
So, here it is. Pismo is in trouble.
The entire downtown area is filthy. I will not be back to this town much less this hotel.
–Hubby and wife owners had zero basic social skills. She is a complete nightmare running around the property yelling at the staff, her hubby and in general taking to them all like they are idiots.
–Booked my room on
and was the last room is Pismo. there were three of us and THEIR OWN site recommended I could get a roll away so 3 of us would fit in a room with one queen bed. No rollaway.
–Room is next to bowling alley (yes bowling) and storge room… aka Hollywood & Vine
–The pool has ben under construction for over a year… but its not mentioned on the site.
–Breakfast is coffee, oj, bread and bagels.
–carpet was wet… fridge unplugged and smelly
–wifi does not work
–Splash café has a line around the block all day, don’t bother
Giuseppe Cucina and Honeymoon Café were our saving grace.

CRAPTASTIC SHIT HOLE. That’s pretty much that I can say about this place.
Fantastic Location, but it really doesn’t matter as compared to it’s «amenities» that this place offers.
Um, they have to sharpie their towels with their initials. Why? I find out later it’s because they use a cleaning service — which thank god. makes them at least clean. Bleachy smell, but clean. However, asking for extra towels? Keep dreaming. The towels are slightly damp, and you have to mop up the water that keeps leaking through the shower door. I swear, we were going to get flooded.
Right outside our door was a mat that was covering a loose floorboard, metal piece. I almost hurt myself by walking through there. Geez, got a hefty insurance policy eh?
The wife-​husband that runs the office are terrible. Either they are on the phone, yelling at each other, some random ish. I went in for coffee in the morning, and they were out. Well tough cookies. No more coffee for you (and I slowly back out)
Spend your money elsewhere. It’s really not worth it. Btw, there’s no parking in the lot. You either can take your chances and park across the street (psst read the signs)

Why did I not read the reviews before booking this place?
This place is in an excellent location and the pricing is not bad. But considering that it is in an excellent location, why not fix it up a bit and be competition for the places around you? The hotel is NOT kid friendly at all. First off, the man sitting up front im guessing the owner is so completely rude and socially inept I would spend the money to get a young kid up front that wore a smile. Secondly there is no elevator that we were told about and we were on the second floor (the only room they had left). We assumed there was an elevator and bringing the stroller up and down the stairs was a pain in the ass. When we walked in to the room you immediately feel gross. The floor is a dark green sticky carpet, the décor is way out dated, the walls had streaks from the condensation running down, it smelled dank and just overall was not something I wanted my kids to be running around without shoes in. The bathroom was a shower NOT A BATH which really sucks when you have little ones. Everything was dirty! They have a fridge but no water to even buy. The towels were written on, there is no place to put your things in the shower and barely any space on the sink. I ended up having to put all my make up on the back of the toilet which is so gross! The breakfast is a joke. Its OJ coffee, tea, toast, and little muffins and cupcakes. I asked the guy at the front for some more plates and he replied with «I just put them out there» so I replied with «I wouldnt be asking if there were still some there!».
I learned my lesson. I dont care the price I will never stay there again. I felt sad walking by the hotel next door knowing what we were going back to. We stayed two nights because every hotel was booked. Just awful, stay away!
PS no AC only a fan that wobbles and looks like its about to fly off.

Stayed here over the weekend and booked the room via Priceline.
1. You can’t check in after 10pm or out before 7 am…
2. The provided breakfast was a joke
Sliced frozen bread, jelly in a jar, baby muffins, orange juice
3. Upon checkout I asked for a receipt and the man behind the desk said it would be emailed to me. Of course it never was and I checked my bank statement and I got charged twice for the room once by Priceline and once by the hotel… When I called to ask he said well sometimes we don’t get paid by Priceline so we charge you! It’s my fault that you don’t get paid by Priceline… I think not overall a bad experience. Ohh yea did I mention there was a fight and stabbing down the street and there was blood all over the property and the owner didn’t make the effort to clean it up.

Yeah… the only perk about Ocean Breeze is that it is in a very central location. You can walk to any of the major spots in Pismo. They are close enough to Splash Café that you can here the restaurant call out their orders (good or bad thing? You decide).
Paper thin walls, you can hear everything going on in the parking lot. It was a bit on the pricey side for what you get. This place is managed by a man and woman, the man was pretty nice, but the woman was always in a horrible mood. Why are you in a customer service oriented business when you obviously hate people? Idk.
On busy days, you aren’t even guaranteed a spot in their parking lot. Probably would not go back to this place. I can take my money elsewhere.

This was our first stay at the Ocean Breeze. One things for sure, you cannot beat the location. The price was also quite good during this time of year. A couple of things that would increase to a 4 star…
1: the towels in the bathroom weren’t exactly «dry.» They had that «need another 10 mins in the dryer feel.» But they were clean.
2: We had a little bit of a hard time checking in when we arrived but this was due to the fact that the owner appeared to be shorthanded and was attempting to turn the motel over with fewer staff. Once we found him, it was quick and he was a nice guy.
3: the continental breakfast is pretty basic and slim, but the coffee was good and both El Mirador and the Old West Cinnamon Roll shop are within a 30sec walk and have breakfast for CHEAP!
Overall, a pretty good place to stay and with the location and great price, you’ll be hard pressed to find something better!

One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. I am a big supporter of small business, but a few deserve to be put out of their misery.
The lowlights:
1) Walls you can see but have no impact on noise. Was kept awake by neighboring guests both nights — night 1, neighboring guests argue until 3 in the morning. night 2, neighboring guests have sex until three in the morning — they weren’t making excessive noise by normal standards, but with these walls it was like they were in the same room.
2) Really old rooms that smell old — and they have single pane glass — this is a very noisy part of town, hope you like noise. Torn bedspread, worn furnishings and uncomfortable pillows.
3) Heated indoor swimming pool — naah — down for a long term construction project (not mentioned in the ad of course)
4) Wifi — advertised, but not working.
5) Staff that does not care.
