First time staying at Pismo Lighthouse Suites. We chose this hotel because of the pool and playground and proximity to the beach. It did not disappoint. We stayed in a courtyard suite and still had some view of thrle ocean. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Rooms were clean and appreciated the reusable water bottles. Will return again.
