"The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated since the new renovation. The facility location on the Bluff was excellent. The complementary breakfast was outstanding with great selection. The only negative was the amount of seagull waste in the parking lot. You have to be careful where you step and always wear flip-flops or shoes. The facility has an excellent view of the coastline of Pismo Beach. The room staff and the kitchen staff were excellent and always greeted you with a good morning or good afternoon."

"We had a great stay at the Edgewater Inn and Suites in Pismo Beach. Our room selection worked out especially well because we didn't have anyone above us, so we never had to deal with footsteps or noise overhead, which made the stay very relaxing. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was always polite, friendly, and helpful whenever we needed anything. The location is also hard to beat — it's very convenient for enjoying Pismo Beach and everything nearby. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and felt the hotel offered a nice combination of cleanliness, comfort, friendly service, and a great location. We would definitely stay here again."
