When they said housekeeping is only available upon request, we thought it meant no one accesses the room (for any reason) unless requested. My husband and i went on a day tour and when we came back, the TV was on. Ok, nothing was missing but our stuff was all over the room. Kinda unsettling. Other than that, the room was spacious, clean and quiet. It was my husbands bday so they had a card and chocolates waiting in the room. Very accessible to the highway and downtown restaurants. Breakfast was so-so. Nearby is Ventana Grill which had terrific service (ask for Hailey)!. Given the chance, we will stay at the Cove again and will surely recommend to friends.

Average

The view was great, overlooking the ocean. The reviews I read about the free breakfast were above average, but the quality of what I experienced was adequate but average. The water pressure in the room was really low ( shower and sink). The room appeared pretty clean, but the shower/tub had a clump of long hair in it. The rooms air conditioner/fan did not work correctly (unable to adjust fan speed & direction of vent), thereby not able to use it. My husband and I took a couple days to stay at the beach to get out of the heat. I thought the room was a bit pricy for the overall quality of what we received.

You’re really paying for the property. The room was gross, smelled of mildew, and quite small. They gave us an adjoining room, against my request, and our neighbor tried to get into our room several times throughout the night.

Exclusive hotel literally on an ocean cliff some 20-30 feet above the water. Rooms overlooking the pacific ocean with balconies and tons of pelicans flying by, higher end rooms are even more ocean facing than those overlooking the pool. Great ocean facing lounging on the property and the cliff edges, a small pool and jacuzzi. Away from the crowded Pismo beach pier but a couple of minutes drive to it, nice ocean side town a quarter mile to the north. Limited dining walking distance from the hotel though. Next to the highway but no bothersome noise, ample parking. Large, clean comfortable suites, even luxurious if you will, water pressure a bit low, building feels like an upgraded cape cod architecture and has lost that character (sky lights present on the outside but sealed off on the inside). Great breakfast but smaller breakfast room, free wine tasting 4-6, front office staff experience mixed, some very pleasant and professional, some a bit rude- like a dude who sounded like came from the Italian hospitality industry, room service experience excellent. A couple nights good enough unless you want to make it a base up the pacific coast. Lot of fenced off areas otherwise it would be unsafe around the property, it has a small cove beach that you can walk down to.
