Our stay was made truly special thanks to Tia, the Front Desk Supervisor. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with such warmth and professionalism that instantly set the tone for our visit. Tia went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was seamless, from check-in to departure. She has a genuine way of making guests feel valued and cared for—always attentive, approachable, and quick to provide solutions with a smile. Even in the smallest gestures, like checking in to see how our experience was going, Tia showed a level of thoughtfulness that exceeded our expectations. It’s rare to find someone who balances efficiency with heartfelt hospitality so effortlessly. Tia is a true credit to the property and the Marriott brand. Because of her, we left not only with wonderful memories of our stay but also with the desire to return and recommend the hotel to friends and family. Thank you, Tia, for making us feel like VIPs—your dedication and kindness did not go unnoticed! Read less

Nice location on the pismo Beach, rooms amenities were short. Few hooks to hang clothes in the bathroom would have been nice. The system should be changed to recognize the late checkout and do not deactivate the room key at 11:00 AM standard, it is inconvenient to go to the front desk when you find out the key is not working

This is a lovely property. Everyone we encountered was helpful and kind. The rooms and common areas are luxurious but not pretentious.

While we are waiting to get our car back they keep booking people into their rooms after us!… Read more
Do not book this hotel, just arrived from a long drive after booking this hotel room months ago … we are told that our room is not available. My daughter is not well and now they are putting us in another hotel, which apparently they are going to pay for! While we are waiting to get our car back they keep booking people into their rooms after us! Apparently is not first come serve basis … how is that fair. They are going to pay for the room in another hotel but the receptionist does not even know what the hotel is like. Really bad service you should be ashamed of how you have treated us today. Read less
