Hotels in Pismo BeachA simple 2.5-star motel near the Pismo Beach outlets
7.7/10
Good-value basics with a standout hot tub, but not a beachfront setting.
The Grove is a simple 2.5-star motel in Pismo Beach—not Baywood Park—and we'd consider it a good-value base for a short coastal stay. Recent Expedia guests repeatedly praise clean rooms, helpful staff and the well-kept pool area, especially the unusually large hot tub. Free parking and rooms with microwaves and refrigerators make it practical for road trips and budget-conscious families.
The trade-off is atmosphere: you're beside the outlets rather than on the beachfront, and rooms are straightforward, with some guests finding them small. Breakfast is a light continental spread, not a substantial meal. Older Tripadvisor feedback is less enthusiastic than recent Expedia reviews, so expect functional rather than polished. Expedia also lists a credit-card surcharge and a security deposit. We'd skip it for a romantic beachfront escape or if an elevator is essential.
