"The Best Western at Pismo Beach exceeded our expectations. We had a very quick check in and was allowed in the room 1 hour before. It was lovely that they had a small refrigerator and a coffee machine available. I like that the sink area was outside the bathroom. I also enjoyed their jacuzzi and pool. The breakfast had a lot of selections hot and cold. Well worth the money and a good location.It is 2 miles from the pier. Q I"
