The Palms has a great walkable location to downtown Pismo. This is definitely a no frills motel but overall - if you get it cheap enough- I recommend it for times that a simple - and good location - no frills kind of stay works for you- only real “issue” was it took awhile to get hot water - overall fine stay!

This is a solid 5 star 4 star property. Everything was fine. They are in a remodel but except for the need to run the hot water for a few minutes to get hot enough to shower the place is in a good location and very reasonable.

I gave this property a bad review to hope that it gives others important info. Though it doesn’t show on the map, the hotel sits feet away from a four lane hwy 101. It’s bery loud, bring ear plugs!
