Marea Sol Hotel

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing location- directly across the street from the boardwalk. Lots of dining options nearby. Our room was spacious, up to date- providing plenty of charging/outlet sources and most importantly CLEAN! They vacuumed the sand off our floor daily which was so nice! I’ve stayed in fancy hotels in Pismo that didn’t even do that!"
