The hotel

Just steps from the sand, your stay at Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach can be as chilled or as active as you wish. Lounge by the outdoor fire pits in the evenings or enjoy activities such as horseback riding or hiking through Pismo Preserve, it’s all available on the hotels doorstep. With a daily wellbeing class included in your resort fee, you can start the day in the downward dog position, with the sound of the waves in the background. At the weekends, wrap up a day in the sun with live music at Pequin with a cocktail in hand. The rooms are spacious and modern, with spa like bathrooms to make you feel like you’re staying in your own private beach house. This is a great spot to stop during your West Coast road trip, as well as being perfect for a relaxing vacation on it’s own.

I am an associate member of Marriott everywhere I travel the customer service is fantastic except for the young lady that checked us in. She was not very accommodating (due to her inexperience I’m sure) but the other staff in the morning was excellent!

We enjoyed a one-night Sunday "staycation" in an oceanfront suite. The room was beautiful with a lovely patio and perfect view of the ocean and Pismo pier, and many special touches. There was a bottle of local wine (for a very reasonable price) and two glasses on the credenza, as well as a telescope and map of the night sky. The room was clean… Read more
We enjoyed a one-night Sunday "staycation" in an oceanfront suite. The room was beautiful with a lovely patio and perfect view of the ocean and Pismo pier, and many special touches. There was a bottle of local wine (for a very reasonable price) and two glasses on the credenza, as well as a telescope and map of the night sky. The room was clean and everything from finishes to ammenities were of good quality. The bed was very comfortable, and despite the cold, we enjoyed leaving the patio door open a crack so we could listen to the waves all night. There's a great onsite restaurant and bar, and an entire outdoor seating area with fire pits and ocean views. The valet, front desk and housekeeping staff members were all very hospitable. The Vespera property is a true gem! Read less

The rooms are large and spacious and the beds are really comfortable. You can’t beat the location right on the beach and close walking to shops and restaurants. The bathrooms were stocked with lots of towels and everything was very elegant. Definitely an upscale hotel.

I was very disappointed. When I complained at check in, I was told they no longer had the real ocean front rooms and there was nothing they could do. When I complained at check out, I was told I should have complained at check in. Overall a very poor experience working with young inexperienced staff that had no desire to solve an issue. Read less

Hotel was in an excellent location. Great for parties and events but not necessarily a relaxing family getaway. Multiple events were happening and all of the common areas were crowded and loud. Service was adequate but nothing stand out, they did their jobs but nothing more. Valets were great, the most helpful employees on property.
