“Spyglass Inn struck me as a solid choice in Pismo Beach, especially appealing for those who value an ocean view and the convenience of a gas station across the street. I appreciate the thoughtful touch of gas fireplaces along the bluff, offering a cozy spot to take in the scenery and the well-maintained, paved walkway that allows beach access. While not the flashiest option, it offers a comfortable and practical base for exploring the area.”
