Incredibly spacious, clean room. The bed was very comfortable. Staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Great location! You can hear the freeway from the room but it quiets down at night and did not keep us up. Wish we had used the heated pool, next time!

the bed was great and pillows were perfect. we arrived early and the staffed rush cleaning our room to get us into it, and then apologize for making us wait. now that's customer service . pool was heated but on the cool side. Would have liked to stay longer to check out some of the shops around the area. Staff leaves early so no one on premises after hours, but they have an emergency number if you need it

Clean, comfortable room and great service. Easy walk to dining a park overlooking the ocean. The pool was warm enough for an evening swim.

The Shell Beach Inn was a cute, comfortable, close to everything Pismo, and a short drive to SLO. The staff were friendly & helpful with check-in and check-out. We’d stay here again. They have a pool there, which looked inviting, but we drove down to Oceano Beach (a short drive) and hung out there.

It's 4:49 AM and I've barely slept all night.
I had a bad feeling when I saw the earplugs when I walked in. After all, this hotel is too close to Highway 101 (about fifty meters), and Highway 101 is busy, so the rumbling noise kept me awake all night.
The compressor of the refrigerator in the room was also making a very loud noise, and there was milk in it, so I had no choice but to put up with it.
I could also hear the conversation in the next room. I suspected that the floors of our two rooms were connected. I could clearly tell his walking speed through the sound of the floor.
The towels and quilt didn't smell fresh, and the small area rug was so dark that I really wanted to put it away.
I really can't give a good review for this hotel, although the landlord is very enthusiastic and I think the landlord is not bad.
By the way, the landlord doesn't live here, maybe that's the source of the problem.
Anyway, services can be good or bad, but the most fundamental thing is to get value for money. But obviously the experience of living here is totally not worth the cost I paid.
Finally, boss, I can’t sign because I don’t have a pen and you didn’t even think of preparing it.

I want to especially praise Ctrip's service. We were traveling so fast that we couldn't get to the hotel until midnight, and there was no one on duty at the hotel at night. Ctrip tracked us all the way and comforted me that if I couldn't find the door key they would help me solve the problem. It was very reassuring. Finally checked in smoothly, thank you!

This was the worst night I slept in the United States. I almost didn’t sleep all night. It wasn’t the noise of the cars outside (it wasn’t too loud), but the quilt on the bed was actually a thick wool blanket. Although the United States morning and evening It's cooler but not as hot as a thick wool blanket in the summer. I took my kids to sleep on the same bed. We both really didn't sleep well all night, and we were very low-energy the next day. The internal facilities in the room are relatively complete, but it is really hard to think of a wool blanket in summer. I also visited the town the next day and found that there were so many inns. You can choose from more and read the reviews.

Wonderful location. Hotel room is pristine and clean with modern design. Complimentary coffee provided and the hotel’s restaurant is quite posh. Only downside no free parking but there are a few public parking area within 3-5 min walking distance. Strongly recommended
