The location of this hotel was perfect! Close to the freeway, walking distance to restaurants, the beach and very close to Pismo Beach and SLO. There was a great coffee shop right next-door. The hotel itself was adequate. It was nice having an extra bedroom since there was four of us. It could definitely use some updates, but overall, we were very satisfied. I would definitely recommend more hooks and/or towel bars. Also, it would be nice to have a nightstand on both sides of the bed. I would stay here again.

Great value for the price. Rooms are very basic and customer service is non-existent. But I paid half the price of most hotels in the area.

Our bathroom sink would not drain - staff came and jammed a rod down the sink, and caused it to leak all over the floor. They said it was "slow" to drain. We demanded a refund and got Management confirmation of a refund. We had to book a different hotel and move. It was a disaster.

I only stayed for one night but it was in a good location and quaint. The separate room was a nice touch for my children.

It gets the job done. It’s a room to sleep and clean up in. Clean and fine. No frills. Our door was broken, we couldn’t get ahold of anyone beforehand, the owners are friendly, helpful and the surrounding area is nice.

The property owners were very nice and kind to our family. There was a lot of us that stayed there due to us having a wedding to attend. Locked myself out of my room a couple of times and they gave me a new key card without any problems. very nice clean place to stay. I would definitely stay there again.

We loved how conveniently located the Palomar Inn is to restaurants, the ocean and local stores! It was very quiet, which I loved! No one bothered us! The room was big and the bed was comfy! We will stay here again!

We love staying here because of the location to restaurants and walking. The bed was comfortable but a better coffeemaker would be nice. Also, the pet fee is $35 compared to $20 at most places.

The room was not clean it was full of with and bugs. The blinds did not close all the way so you could see inside. The pillows had yellow stains. Very sad place. We ended up leaving in the middle of the night to drive back home because it was so bad.
