Recommend checking in sooner than later. Comfortable room. The hotel was sold out & would have preferred a room further away from the pool since it was open until 10 pm. Very friendly staff and helpful.

Great place to stay next to coast.

I've stayed here several times & the Spyglass is just above the beach but it is above a bluff so you need to walk to the beach below. Great sunsets. Spyglass Inn is central to Five Cities area, San Luis Obispo & Santa Maria area so you can access highway 101 to any locations easily. The Spyglass inn restaurant is closed & being re-modeled now as the original owners retired in November 2024 so new owner & the reopening at a unknown date as of October 9, 2025. I highly recommend Spyglass Inn for any stays in the Pismo Beach & Central Coast Area.
