The location is great and the staff is courteous.

The rooms are old. The towels did not smell fresh.

Wonderful Views, Unique Accommodations, Great Staff

Construction going on, but they were very good about working around their guests!

Great location, with private beach access. Every room is facing the water and has a balcony so you have the most relaxing and amazing sunset/sunrise views. You're a short drive to the shell beach restaurants and to grover beach's downtown area with more great bars and restaurants. 10 minutes to the dunes. Highly suggested, we will definitely be back :)

Loved all of the extras!

Great staff and little extras that add up to great experience

Came here for our anniversary and was very pleased with the luxurious apartment-like room we had, amazing view and top notch customer service. The surrounding area offered plenty to do when we weren't enjoying the view from our amazing room or walking along the beach. Will most definitely stay here again! 

While looking for options to spend our third anniversary night (which happened to be on a weekend this year) one of our friends suggested we try out Dolphin Bay Resort. Looking at the website, we decided to give this a try. We made a phone call to book a reservation for one night and happen to talk to the Manager, Erica. She was very helpful with the reservation process & after hearing that it was our anniversary she said she would make our stay special. We spent one night at the resort and we were very happy with our stay. Erica even had the room ready couple of hours before and arranged some special stuff for our anniversary. We got the best 1BR suite and the views were ecstatic. We would highly recommend the resort to anyone who would want to spend a day or two with their special one.

Loved every minute of my stay... Great job in remodeling the rooms. fantastic new tub with jets. More privacy. My favorite place for rejuvenation.

Night light would be nice in the bathroom. Update to Pod coffee and tea maker.

Pretty area. Location was great.

No parking by my room so I had to walk a far and literally hike a mountain to get to my room. I left my suitcase in the car because I wasn't hiking down to get it. I could hear everything in surrounding rooms. Smelled like mildew. Expected more for the $

Very nice hotel, on a cliff top over beautiful Pismo beach.... The beach is easily accesible via a wooden stair structure shared by a couple more hotels... ( Lighthouse Suites is at the end of the line of hotels, so no neighbours wondering in front of your hotel rooms!) Great and helpful staff, in general a very joyful and relaxed atmosphere! Rooms are large (very much so) and clean, beds are comfy.

Breakfast is, howeve,r not up to par.... Not bad to be honest, but just a few bread rolls, jam, butter, 3 types of fruit and yoghurt (coffee and orange juice too), are way far away from the promised "Continental breakfast"!! Plastic cuttlery and cups further support this case.

My husband and I stayed at the suite for his birthday weekend. The suite was very nice, clean and comfortable. Bigger than what I expected....breakfast was amazing I will return the summer with my kids next time because it was very kid friendly.

I requested partial view of the ocean but that may be misleading since I really didn't see the ocean view from my window

No air conditioning. How can you not have air conditioning. Also our phone in the room did not work and they could not fix it. What if there was an emergency. Not okay

The room was very quiet - nice for a light sleeper like me.

The view was amazing room was beautiful very good service

The Location and the pool area are beatifull

The rooms facing the parking lot are noise

My wife and I really enjoyed our room and the oceanfront view! We were so close to the ocean we left the sliding glass door open all night and fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing and seeing the moonlight reflect off the ocean.The staff where very friendly and accommodating, I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for great customer service and great views of the ocean without breaking your wallet!

The seagulls can get pretty loud but that comes with the territory of being next to the ocean!

The location was great.

The first room they gave us was not what I consider an ocean view. It was more like the view of the hotel to the south, a palm tree and a sliver of an ocean view. I paid for a room with an ocean view. The second room was great. Full ocean view. Yay!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was neat and very nice. This hotel is not only great for families, but it would be great for a romantic getaway as well. The breakfast was perfect for us to grab and go so we could get our day started at the beach!

location is great

checking in was a big problem. rooms were not available and we had to wait awhile for the cleaning staff to finish. front desk people seemed unorganized and confused but friendly.

Hotel staff was great... rooms where great and the view was amazing

View from our room was fabulous. The outdoor area beautiful with lots of seating and they had fires going morning and evening. Every person who worked there were happy to be of service. Continental breakfast was good and kept replenished. Will definitely stay again.

Not really the hotel's fault but when tide is high you can't access beach from their stairs but you are able to walk a couple of streets over to access a public staircase.

The breakfast option - food was good, and menu selection has a lot of options.

The cooler to control the room temperature. While it was nice to have the thermostat to control the air, I was very difficult to make the room temperature comfortable. One degree lower in temperature made the room freezing, while one degree higher made the room hot and stuffy.

Our stay was amazing! Great breakfast which included an omelette station was included in our rate. Our room was extremely spacious and we were greeted with bottled water at check in. Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Stacy and team even provided a mini snack basket in honor of my husband's birthday. After finding out that we were extremely sore from an ATV trip, they allowed us to soak in the hot tub after hours. The restaurant staff even went as far as to provide us with free winery passes. Again, our stay was perfect!! We are already planning our trip back to this location.

Pool area, good size room, parking close, sliding glass door to patio, great diner next door, quick aces to freeway, private area

Late check in under staffed late room check in :( needs some interior updating sheers torn fake flowers got to go trim the roses get a Gardner has potential

I needed to book a room that had two queen beds, this was one of the few hotels in the area that had last minute availability.

Lack of network access. I would never stay anywhere that I knowingly be disconnected from the Internet. It's a requirement for my job to have access at all times and makes life much more difficult if I'm trying to check everything on my phones data.

We liked the view of the beach from our room and the close proximity to the beach. This hotel is also very close to the pier and main shopping areas.

The breakfast was pretty basic. I've stayed at lesser hotels that have a better breakfast than this hotel.

Bed was comfortable, lots of television channels. Very close to the water- you can walk right down to the beach. Great proximity to restaurants and shopping. Front desk staff was friendly and recommended a good place to eat.

Not the most luxurious, but good for a vacation on a budget

Location. Steps from beach and 2 blocks from downtown.

No A\C

i really think the price was excellent for location hope they stay like that and the room yes its not motel 6 yet but it was quit nice

nope was great

Location

Room was hot due to heater pumping hot air (unable to turn off). When I booked the room it was for 2 queen beds, got a queen and a double. Room wasn't very clean.

Its a great location- it's right on the beach, and it had a nice area to relax with a beer and take in the sunset. It was a perfect place to stop while driving down route-1.

Nothing

Location

Kids in the hot tub after sunset

Good basic hotel. Fit our needs for one night. Breakfast was better than expected.

Older hotel, could use remodeling.

The staff were very helpful and friendly

Carpet seemed dirty. People lurking around the hotel doors, didn't seem safe.

Exchanged room to a room with a view, and extended stay by one night. A good getaway and convenient to pier and restaurants.

Amenities include private hot tub on each balcony; fireplace in every room; excellent beds and linens; right on Pismo Beach. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the bottle of Pinot Noir on arrival was a nice touch. There is a good gift shop area in the lobby with reasonable prices. The breakfast basket delivered to the door (order placed the night before) was fabulous, very well done, and what was supposed to be hot, was hot - for $5.00 - REALLY!

This basic room provided comfortable beds, a clean room and bathroom, a good breakfast, and updated furniture and electronics. Plenty of outlets. Couldn't hear anything from adjacent rooms.

We just needed a place to rest during our road trip and this place was by far the most expensive we stayed at. If you have to make a last minute reservation be prepared to pay at least a 50% hike up.

Price and all other aspects of the hotel were good. Nothing fancy, but the hotel satisfied what I wanted for this trip.

Wine and cheese benefit could be improved or dropped, minimal effort was done on the cheap.

Good proximity to restaurants, shops and beach

a Little noisy as it is next to 101

under $100 and you can walk to the beach! right off 101, but room was quiet at night.

- breakfast - free happy hour

- AC didn't work - was given a queen instead of king room - was charged the wrong rate (booking.com rate was $200/nt, theirs was $290) - front desk didn't care that the AC didn't work or that I was given the wrong room, instead told me to book through their site and not booking.com, had to spend 15m getting them to agree on the originally booked price

The hotel was under construction & I was not advised prior to my stay

I liked there was a bedroom and adjacent living room with a TV in both rooms. Location was good - right off 101.

The breakfast was included, but very poor.

good hotel. ..nice room...good price!

After I left my wallet behind, staff contacted me to let me know and then were very accommodating in making arrangements to have it sent to me.

There was a mistake with our reservation and they were very unhelpful in trying to help. The person in front of us even had the same mistake with their reservation and they were unwilling to do anything to try to resolve the situation. On top of a horrible check in experience, we checked into our room and had a giant bug in the room. They were helpful in letting us change rooms after we told them about the bug.

There are li me 200+ rooms to stay in and each one has a different theme to them! The foods is great and the overall feel of this place is comfort! The staff were very nice and helpful.

The breakfast was a little burnt but that is the first time eating breakfast there...I just hope it was a fluke!

Exceptional spa service by Melissa and an overall state of mind that is total relaxation. Absolutely loved it.

Nothing to dislike

My friends and I stayed at the Avenue Inn after driving through Big Sur. We arrived after 10 pm and were greeted by Saul, who showed us to our room and gave some excellent dinner recommendations for late at night. The room was in great condition (newly renovated) and very comfortable for 4 adults to sleep in. Saul helped us in the morning by providing additional towels and helped with checkout as well. Overall we were very happy!

Nothing - 100% would stay here again.

Smallish room, but it was quiet, clean and comfy.

It was affordable and conveniently located. The bed wasn't terrible and the room contained a mini fridge and microwave. I was able to book a room on short notice. It was a cold night and the heater kept me warm enough.

I arrived around 9 pm. First I waited at the desk for several minutes ringing the bell and eventually hollering "hello?" toward the back to find out if there was a live human around. Still nothing. I called them from my cell phone and a woman picked up and apologetically emerged from the back, appearing to have just woken up from a dense, deep sleep. She mentioned nonchalantly that she didn't think the wifi was working and hoped it came back by morning. The room was nothing fancy but had at least the essentials. The wifi was out for most of the night but the cable worked. I immediately found several small ants in the bathroom, which didn't freak me out much because I respect ants for their tenacity and teamwork, but would still much prefer not to have them in my room. I could not get any water to come out of the shower no matter which ways I turned, tilted, and twisted the knob. I didn't expect much from this place, and chose it solely on price and location, but I still left quite disappointed.

The location was concient however it in no way made staying at that hotel worth it.

The hotel was dirty, old and run down. All which would have been fine if the price was right. However upon checking in the front desk staff insisted we owed more money then Kayak said and tried to hassle us into paying more. They did no provide a print out of the costs and we we finally did get an itemized recipt it was clear they were gouging us.

Clean, good amenities, very well priced

The room was excellent nice and sunny and clean The bathroom was good but the toilet is too low There are many seniors who cannot get off the toilet because of it being way too low and dated. The parking was very convenient and next time we will again ask for the same room. The price is fabulous for 3 people The beds are great and the colors are very fresh and the bedding very nice. It was great, Johanna
