This place had been on my list for years. We were in the area and finally got to go. We went in the afternoon. The fancy pink restaurant isn’t open at that time but you are able to tour the grounds on your own. We walked around and took pictures. The pink is unreal and everywhere. It’s eccentric and feels like you’re in Alice and Wonderland or Barbie Land. There’s a gift shop upstairs where you can buy the goblets. There’s a gift shop downstairs and a restroom. Go into the restrooms. The eccentric details are even there. The men’s bathroom has a waterfall urinal. The women’s bathroom has beautiful details. On the main floor we had lunch at the Copper Cafe. It was good food. Service was great. Order the world famous Pink Champagne cake. I’m not even a fan of cake and I enjoyed it. This place was definitely a highlight of our visit to the Pismo area.
2nd stay, last one 6 months ago. First was a 5 star review, 2nd time around not as pleasant. Crummy first floor room that had a funky smell and poor ventilation. Drippy shower. Parking cars lights mere feet from the window, could hear every sound from parking area. Lots of creaking from guest above. Room not ready at provided check in time. Morning coffee service late one day, no show entirely another. Seems like place has taken turn for the worst. I wouldn’t recommend for the price.
This is a family-run motel with rooms that open to the balconies or the parking lot. It is located on the edge of downtown SLO, close to the exit from Highway 101. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Rooms are clean. Plenty of towels and hot water. Housekeeping service every day. They even maintained this service during the pandemic! Showers, no bathtubs. Refrigerator and microwave and coffee service in the rooms. No elevator. Coffee and snacks are available in the office. There is a gas station across Marsh street with an extensive selection of food and drink. Headstrong gym, a very well-equipped training facility, is across the street at the back. You can get daily access for $20. This is a pleasant, affordable space to stay.
WWanderer16714249805The Sunbeam Motel is an outdoing value when visiting SLO. The room was very comfortable, and while basic, was super clean and provided a microwave, fridge with separate freezer compartment, coffee maker, desk, great TV, and 2 comfy queen beds, all for less than $90. We were in room 12 at the back of the property on the ground floor, so it was pretty quiet. Walkable to restaurants and bars. Hope to stay again soon!
Our stay at Motel 6 wasn't too bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The room had the basic amenities and was alright for just one night, but I would prefer to stay elsewhere next time. The room was a bit cold too and I would prefer it if the bed had a proper quilt instead of an old-fashioned blanket covered by a white sheet. Also, there was no shower gel or shampoo, just soap and there was some noise coming from the bathroom ventilation. At least there was plenty of parking available.
