Each air-conditioned room provides a seating area with cable TV at Oxford Suites Pismo Beach. An en suite bathroom with granite counters is provided at Oxford Suites Pismo Beach.

The staff at Oxford Suites were very welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The complementary breakfast had a good selection of hot & cold options to set you up nicely for the day. The pool area was spacious, the pool is heated, towels are provided and the jacuzzi is fab. Reasonably priced laundry facilities were also very useful. The hotel is situated a bit outside of Pismo Beach, but taxis are always available and although we didn’t use it, the staff informed us that, depending on staffing levels, a shuttle bus to Pismo Beach may be available. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to return at some stage in the future.

This is a beautiful hotel! The rooms were exceptionally clean and the room we got allocated was really large with a lovely outdoor seating area in the front. You couldn't get closer to the beach, the parking was very handy too. The bar is also in the perfect spot for an evening drink with the fire pits too

The Pismo Beach Hotel is located right in the heart of the Downtown Pismo Beach area and offers great affordable lodging and accommodations. Within easy walking distance, there is something for everyone: An art gallery, a coffee shop, restaurants, and shopping. Only 1 block from the Pismo Beach Pier and by the Beaches and Dunes.

The reception staff were excellent both on check in and check out, even advising us that if we were quick we could make it to the pier for sunset, which was one of the most amazing things my wife and I have seen. It was clean and tidy and the room had perfect views of the pier and the beach. The location was perfect as we could walk to the pier in a matter of minutes and it was right in the middle of a handful of bars and restaurants. A room upgrade for our honeymoon was a lovely touch, as was the décor in the lobby and the free tea/coffee at anytime. The adjoining café for breakfast was also brilliant.

    What an amazing gem! The rooms were beautiful and a great size! Very comfortable, and felt very luxe with the plantation shutters. The view of the ocean from the room and listening to the birds was just bliss. The heated pool and hot tub was very nice, enjoyed that it was outside so you could hear the ocean and see the stars. We enjoyed the later check-out time. There were cute swing chairs and firepit's and beach access too. It was incredible value for money in a superb location.
