Located directly off of the Pismo Beach pier just steps from the beach, this 100% non-smoking Dolphin Cove Motel features guest rooms with ocean views and free Wi-Fi. Dinosaur Caves Park is 2.6 km away. Free guest parking is provided.

Very near the beach, restaurants and cafés nearby. I initially didn't want to book this property because the pics showed a motel which looked dated and run down. The actual property is better than the pics. There's a fridge and microwave in the room too. The room is small but not a problem for us.

Located on an oceanfront bluff off of Pismo Beach, Tides Oceanview Inn and Cottages offers an ideal location for guests. Free WiFi and free parking are also provided for guests’ convenience.

The motel is 5 minutes’ walk from the ocean. California Polytechnic State University is 20 km away.

The first 3 weeks were perfect , the hotel staff amazing. But somehow I misunderstood the checkout date and was late by an hour and a half checking out and things got ugly fast . I felt terrible as they had guests coming in as well. Someone on the staff team said some mean things and my checkout price was higher than I was quoted or had paid all the prior days … Much higher. I was to receive a 20% off for my stays as I am local and in between houses. They didn’t apply that to my Che out fees at all . I guess because I was late checking out .

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    They Charge 100.00$ Sucurity Deposit and it is going to take 2 to 5 Days to back on Card. Very Annoying that they do this. No other Motel or Hotel in Pismo do this. Not Happy. P

    It had all your basic needs. Beds were comfy. I liked how it smelled clean. I feel like they tried to do the best with what they had. A lot of Motels can be worse. Not bad for what I paid for. Had basic necessities so that’s ok with me. Staff was very friendly and helpful, seems like they actually try so I would give them another chance. Hopefully next time is better than this one.

    The location was amazing which is why the price is understandably high for a motel. The 2 bedroom was small but clean.

    Pictures don't do this justice. The motel room was super clean and spacious and looked like it had recently been renovated. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Free parking (and we could stay longer than check in if required to visit the area). Comfy bed. Great access to the beach and pier.

    Great location right on the beach front. Amazing room and the staff was super friendly and helpful! Pismo beach was a bit of a surprise location on the road trip, really enjoyed the place, the beach and the motel was super located to enjoy the area. We will be back next time we're in California.
