“Excellent 25th Anniversary stay”My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights from Boston to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. This was our second time visiting Pismo Beach. Last year we stayed at the Inn at the Cove (also gave it 5 stars). The Seacrest was perfect, staff was very friendly, rooms were clean and modern, balcony had amazing views and the self-serve breakfast was great.

I loved that it had stairs that access the same beach where the pier was. It was great walking to the pier from the hotel before breakfast for some exercise. At low tide, you could follow the rocks to the right of the stairs and a whole new section of beach opened up with rock formations and caves. The firepits were awesome since it was sweatshirt weather at night in late April. The rooftop lounge area was really cool and there wasn't another person up there. We had it all to ourselves. This is definitely going to be our number one place to stay at in Pismo in the future. Spend the extra money and get the deluxe king with ocean view and balcony, it's worth it. Nothing like leaving the slider open and listening to the waves at night. I see people complaining about a $25 fee on their credit card, but they tell you right up front that the fee is temporary and they refund you as soon as you check out. Some of the other negative reviews were unwarranted as well. If you stay at this beautiful place and you're still miserable then maybe it's not the hotel's fault.

“Stunning view, Easy beach access, Great rooms”This is an amazing hotel with the best views on the coast! The rooms were large and very clean and modern and reasonably priced (especially for the views you get!).

The views from the private balcony in our room were incredible, you look one way and see gorgeous beaches and the city pier, you look the other way and see rocky coast that provides and amazing backdrop for the sunset! The hotel is perched up on a cliff, and there are stairs leading right down to the beach, perfect for a stroll down to the pier. Within walking distance to several restaurants. Our favorite hotel (and town) by far on our drive south down the Pacific Coast highway (from Napa all the way to San Diego). REVIEW BY TRIPADVISOR USER: MYCHAL R |
“Always Outstanding”Great view, outstanding breakfast, extremely relaxing, quiet, perfect for anyone. We were on a trip to attend a baseball tourney and reserved one room for our family and another room for two members of our team.

I asked at the last second to accommodate us with rooms close to one another, and they were able to locate us two doors away which was perfect. Check-in only took 5 minutes and checkout was just as quick and painless. REVIEW BY TRIPADVISOR USER: JPLAA |
“Can't go wrong!”While it's amongst a line of inns and hotels, why find out the hard way that you should have stayed at Seacrest Oceanfront Hotel??? You can't go wrong in selecting this property as your choice for accommodations.

The location is awesome, the property is well kept, and the convenient amenities and features of this hotel are very comforting...and let's not forget continental breakfast! Enough carbs. To get your day started right! Also, staff is very accommodating and understanding, and front desk associate, Debbie exceeded my expectations with her understanding as she helped us get our short weekend started with our short time frame in Pismo. She gave us one less thing to worry about, and we were able to go out to the dunes and enjoy our day...thanks again for the caring courtesy Debbie! And the room was awesome (Rm 244). I can't wait to come back soon with my kids! REVIEW BY TRIPADVISOR USER: SPEEDFREED360 |
“Last minute reservation, great room!”We could hear the waves crashing on the beach and never shut the balcony door unless we left the room. The property is gorgeous, our ocean view king overlooked the pool and the ocean beyond.

Our upstairs balcony had 2 chairs and a small side table, plenty of room for our sunset take-out dinner. It did get a little noisy with a wedding reception going on but the music added to the overall feel. The bed was comfy, the room was spacious, the bathroom is small and the shower is a little retro but hey, we are at the hotel for the view, not the shower. Front desk was always helpful, Aaron checked us in and was hilarious in explaining the rules. The downside, we reserved late so we were located upstairs (room 229) from the dining terrace where everyone had breakfast and enjoyed the fire pits in the evening. It did get a little noisy but we focused on the sounds and sights of the ocean. Still an amazing place and wonderful experience. And don't forget the FREE water bottles!

“I love this place!”This place is very clean, and peaceful. I stayed for business, and I appreciated that quiet time is respected after 10PM. The ocean view from the room I stayed in was such a beautiful sight!

I was even excited to wake up at 6:30AM to go to work because the balcony view with a fresh cup of coffee put a huge smile on my face. There was a variety of pillows to pick from, so it was nice to have a choice! I found one that suited me very well. I like that this hotel is close enough to walk to nearby restaurants, and if you like to walk/jog/run, you can leave SeaCrest in either direction and have a scenic workout.

“Million dollar view hotel that accepts guests with a dog”This is an older hotel, clean and updated, with a million dollar view. It is perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. Ample seating areas are available with the fire pits lit during the chilly December mornings and evenings. The pool and hot tubs have this view also.

We have never traveled with our dog before because we felt it would be too difficult. When I watched the video on the hotel website of how our dog would be accommodated, I realized that this is the place to start! Our room was on the first floor and we opened our sliding glass door to the grassy area pictured above. Alec, our welcoming staff member at the hotel desk, is exceptional.

“My little gem at Pismo Beach”This was my first time visiting Pismo Beach and I found this gem through Trip Advisor. Our check-in was fast and uneventful. The lobby staff was friendly and efficient.

The room appeared to be renovated and everything still looked new. The bathroom was clean. And the view, oh the spectacular view of the ocean! I loved the decor and the plantation shutter. I believe there is a balcony in all the rooms. There are fire pits at different locations of the grounds for the guests to gather and stay warm. There is even a staircase that lead to the beach below. I believe the hotel is pet friendly. Overall, it was a great experience for me. I will definitely come back again next time I come to town for a getaway. REVIEW BY TRIPADVISOR USER: SHADOWGUN |
“Awesome Stay!”My husband and I were celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary and this was our first night away since having kids. The staff was amazing! So friendly! One of our daughters got sick a few days before but I really didn't want to cancel in hopes that she'd be better by then.
Read More
Without having to ask, the gentleman I talked to extended our cancellation period in case she felt better, and thank God she did! The front desk ladies were so friendly and outgoing. The room was so nice at such a great rate. Can't wait to make this an anniversary tradition! REVIEW BY TRIPADVISOR USER: SHKURRUMP |
“Best Hotel in Pismo”If you want a stunning ocean front view, friendly staff, beautiful ground, and pampering rooms, SeaCrest Ocean Front Hotel is the place to be!!!! We have been coming to SeaCrest for years but this latest stay really topped it all.
READ MORE
We were given a spa deluxe room with a fantastic view!! The room was spotless and not one thing was missing or did not work properly. Rather than list everything in the room, just check out their website, you really get what you see! Some of what we enjoyed the most include the extra large spa with strong jets and fast filling with plenty of hot water; the shower with body jets; the fridge with ample space for food and drink, and the 42” flat screen HD TV, nice! Chris, the manager is an exciting, thoughtful, kind, and committed person in making his guests feeling welcomed and pampered. Thank you, Chris, for making our stay awesome. Your staff was very personable on the phone and in person, and you were even more so. Well done Chris! We can’t wait until the next time we come to visit. When it comes to pampering, it is not just what we have mentioned above, there’s more! The view from the room and the hotel is breath taking!!! We could see the moon setting on our right and the sun rising on our left at the same time. It was truly amazing!!!! And, if you have not taken the time to enjoy the winter sun, you must! You may do so in the private of your own balcony outside of your room. The winter sun warms and soothes your tension away; the sound of the ocean so rhythmic and soothing to relax you; the beautiful sunset mesmerize you just as the moon light on the ocean dazzles you. SeaCrest is not a place you want to hurry by, it is a place you must slow down to take in everything; it is a place you will want to return many times. And if you want to have up front and personal touch, take the stairway-to-beach access, walk along the shore and soak your feet, pick up seashells and watch the birds chase after the waves! What a treat!!! And when you return, you can exchange your story with Chris, who took the time to speak with us and made us feel like we are family! We hope you go and that you would take the time to slow down and enjoy!!! REVIEW BY TRIPADVISOR USER: STEWEGG886 |

“Amazing Relaxing Hotel”This hotel keeps getting better every year. We decided on a short weekend trip and went to Seacrest. First, the place looks amazing! We enjoyed the new renovation's.
READ MORE
We this is such a great destination for families with a small dog. The on property access to the beach makes life easier versus using at another hotel and having to actually go u to Seacrest Resort to access the beach. The pool area and BBQ lounge areas are our favorites. Although they are doing a bit more renovation, it really did not impact us at all. We look forward to coming back this summer.. Room Tip: Ocean view rooms are definitely worth it. REVIEW BY TRIPADVISOR USER: BEATRICEBEAUVAIS |
