Offering rooms with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and free WiFi access, the Inn at the Cove features an on-site heated pool and hot tub. Pismo Beach Pier and city centre are 3.2 km away. A complimentary continental breakfast is served every day. I highly recommend the Inn at the Cove if you're doing the Pacific Coast Highway and looking for a stop before LA. The natural surroundings are stunning, with a private rocky beach to explore and plenty of wildlife, including beautiful birds. It's incredibly relaxing! The pool and jacuzzi were great, and breakfast was plentiful—just what you need to start the day. Nearby, there's an In-N-Out and Walmart, which made meals and shopping super convenient. The town itself is charming, and everything about our stay was perfect. The room was spacious and comfortable.
