Edgewater Inn And Suites
"The place is a little dated and needs some TLC. The pool and hot tub was nice. The elevator was not working the day we were there. But because it was Pismo.. I didn’t let this get me down. Felt safe walking back from the pier. Staff were amazing! Coffee was no Starbucks, but was good."
