"In the last 3 weeks my wife and I have stayed in 5 different hotels due to weddings and vacations ect and The Shell Beach Inn was probably the best out of all 5. This includes pricey hotels near So Cal theme parks. The amenities were just thoughtful and the room was very clean. The bed was definitely the comfiest out of all 5 hotels.

Avila Pismo RV Resort and Campground

"Lovely property, friendly check-in staff. Great location right near the Bob Jones trailhead. My only notes are that the cabin i stayed in is a bit rundown - the mattress could be replaced, the bedside light had no outlet, so was just ornamental, and the tv in the bedroom didn’t work. Other than that, great stay!"
