Right on the beach!!! Older hotel, room was pretty small but fine for the two of us. Clean and quiet! Great place! Would go back and recommend! Literally steps from the pier. No air conditioning but it wasn’t hot when we were there.

These rooms have NO AIR CONDITIONING, felt like an oven in the room. The “clean towels” had other peoples on them. Beds are rediculously hard. The only positive thing about this place is the location being right off the beach. Will NEVER stay here again

Every room here seems to have an ocean view which is very cool and it is very close to the beach. It's also within walking distance of restaurants and shops. The room was clean no issue with parking and it was a very good deal price wise

Awesome location, basic amenities, nice people. I will recommend to family and friends! Two pieces of feedback: 1) I saw a large bug on my ceiling that was there bath nights if my stay. Looked like a roach or silverfish. I wasn’t too worried about it as I have lived in cities my whole life and this is semi-normal in old buildings. The motel is by the ocean after all. 2) Via Google and Hotels.com, this motel was filtered under PET-FRIENDLY but in person they will tell you it’s not. I wanted to have a nice little getaway with my pup (and ultimately I did!) and so the “pet friendly” element is why I chose this spot. They were frustrated that I’d checked in with my dog despite pets not being allowed; I tried to explain that I was very sincerely under the impression that this was dog friendly lodging. I ended up paying a $30/night pet fee which was worth it. …

This was our first time to Pismo Beach and we booked the Dolphin Cove online. The location cannot be better. It is literally right next to the boardwalk and within walking distance to all stores, restaurants and the Old West Cinnamon shop (Yum!) This is an older hotel and was built years ago so don't expect spacious rooms, but the rooms and the bathrooms were clean and nicely decorated. The outside patio area on property is perfect and big and faces the ocean. There are also BBQ grills if you are staying a while. Loved it!

Amazing, great location and motel, and great value, a must place to stay! The room was clean and with the view for the ocean, I think all the rooms has the ocean view. For a motel this is a great place to stay. I will always stay there when I go to Pismo Beach.
