Top Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Cottage Inn By The Sea

8/10 Good

"Room very clean thank you, amenities like water and wine in room watch out you will be paying a ridiculous price, what I was really disappointed in I couldn’t even hear the ocean from my room. Otherwise it was very nice"

Oxford Suites Pismo Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! Our room was very clean, quiet and spacious. The complimentary breakfast and drinks were great, and really added value to the already great deal we feel we got. The only downside I'd say was the tattered carpet and overall dated furniture. Also the TV had connectivity issues pretty consistently throughout our stay. But overall, the hotel is very well-kept and was very charming. Parking is super easy, and we felt very safe the entire time. Would definitely stay here again."

Pacific Point Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Location is perfect, a few minutes drive to Pismo beach Pier where you can walk around with many restaurant."

Edgewater Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"AMAZING location!!! Walking distance of basically everywhere you’ll want to visit. The room was clean, but pretty run down. The staff were kind. Breakfast as all prepackaged type gray and go items and some poor quality fruit choices. We would stay here again because of the location."

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property and nice breakfast. My only regret is taking a room on first floor with a wall view? If I was assigned a room a few doors down it at least would have had a shorter wall with some sky. So be aware with the non ocean view rooms ( although I was prepared for that but not literally a wall out of porch)."

Best Western Casa Grande Inn

8/10 Good

"I had a motorcycle that thieves tried to steal one night. They cut the holding straps but, I had it was chained to my vehicle and they gave up. The hotel needs to have security cameras to maybe deter future thefts."

Solaire Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"great location, safe and affordable prices, highly recommended, and I will not hesitate to stay here on future visits."

Days Inn by Wyndham Arroyo Grande/Pismo Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and location was good."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Santa Maria

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was well over half an hour; more customer service would have been great."
