Top Santa Margarita Hotel Reviews

Edgewater Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"H"

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful ocean views from our room. Breakfast has a nice variety and seating is outside overlooking the ocean. Staff was all great, friendly and helpful. My only gripe was on our balcony in the south building, the neighbors AC was on our patio making hearing the ocean at night not possible when their unit was running. Otherwise would definitely return for another stay."

Madonna Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I wish we had more time to spend there. The staff was extremely understanding and helpful. The architecture and decor were amazing. There was always something new and exciting around each corner. We hope to go back."

Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Great staff"

Oxford Suites Pismo Beach

"Our room was clean and comfortable and a very good breakfast was provided daily. The hotel has a well-used swimming pool. Good value for the price. Michael Blair"

Apple Farm

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Sandcastle Hotel on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"So one of the few places that offer you a pet friendly room. The staff are all nice and helpful, the hotel is in the perfect place to enjoy pismo. I have been coming here for almost 20 years. I have tried other places still enjoy the Sandcastle. The changes they keep making are one to offer just as much as the other new hotels. Which is perfect. The little kitchen they have is more than enough to find something you will like to eat and enjoy the ocean while having a breakfast to snack to cocktails. I honestly don’t even know if they do a dinner. I don’t know if there is a better bang for your buck."

Harbor House Inn Morro Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean! Weekends are pricey mid week is a deal! Would stay again."
