I've been lucky enough to travel up and down this coast many times over the last 25 years and I've seen Pismo, Avila, and the rest succumb to the gentrification process. Cayucos retains a little bit of the surf bum, hippy vibe and this hotel epitomises that ethos. It's not fancy. It's economical, friendly, and has all the things you need. If you want luxury, go elsewhere. If you want to spend your cash on your daily activities and sleep in a homely environment, this place will do nicely.
