What a great hotel! We stayed in an ocean front room and the view was spectacular! The landscaping around the hotel feels like an oasis, its secluded, and there's a private beach! The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was wonderful, and the room was clean. I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend. Thank you!

Check in was nice but there was a long wait. The room was clean but walls were thin and the person next to us kept us up all night from his constant coughing. We paid extra to have an ocean front room for my birthday but at night we had to close the sliding glass door and couldn't enjoy the ocean breeze and sounds because the person next to us kept smoking cigarettes on the balcony and the smoke kept coming into our room. This is supposed to be a non smoking area and one of the reasons we chose this hotel. IE: no smoking in rooms or on balconies. It really ruined our stay. Also there were many people with dogs on the property and too many guests didn’t pick up their dogs waste and they let their dogs run off leash around the property. We were offered only a $50 credit for the smoking issue. I do not recommend this hotel if you want a nice pleasant get away.

This hotel was wonderful, all of the rooms have a great view, the pool and hot tub were amazing, and there is a trail down to the cove underneath the property. Breakfast was a great bonus too!

This was our second time staying here. I have really enjoyed our experiences at Inn at the Cove. Friendly staff, clean rooms, good breakfast. We usually get an oceanfront room and the views are beautiful. Love walking along the pathway, sitting in the swings, and exploring the cove. I would definitely stay again!

The property and area were great. The only issue was that the continental breakfast ran out of food 30 minutes before it closed. Otherwise the experience was great. Thanks

I cannot wait to come back & stay here. You’re in between Pismo & Avila. The grounds are gorgeous & so well maintained. I had an ocean front room & when you looked out you felt like you were on top of the water. The staff was so friendly & accommodating. They have a small continental breakfast which was plenty. I did not use the pool or hot tub but it looked nice. I will definitely stay here again.
