10 reviews for SeaVenture Resort
I love this place - but it can be expensive. Great place to take your honey for a romantic getaway.
The food at the restaurant is great and I love the outdoor seating. My only gripe is the hours - they close early - they probably are not that busy. But it is a place I'd love to have a couple night caps before I go back to my room and I've never been able to do it because they are always closed.
I went here in July of 2009. We did in fact enjoy our stay here and it was a very special occasion. Beach front property in the literal sense, right as we walked outside, there was the beach right in front of us, and not to mention near the Pismo Pier.
We stayed July 14th-17th morning and checked out. The first night, even though it was very romantic, we had to move into another room due to the iron being rusted, and the bathtub was clogged.
The room was the same style and same amenities, and we had a wonderful time for the remainder of our stay here.
The food that we ordered at the bar was good.
The only complaint I had was there were no ventilation in the bathrooms-other then that, we had a wonderful stay.
The price was VERY high, but well worth the stay. The rooms were tiny, but cozy. A bit claustrophobic though if you were to see my home, so indeed we felt like we were in one small room on the third floor.
We could never get the fireplace to turn on, and just left it as is after a few tries.
Four stars due to the iron ruining my white dress shirt and the small room.
The doors were thin, so you could hear the loud tenants that just came in all throughout the night, so we kept the laptop music playing to eliminate our enjoyable stay to ease the passerby's.
Is there something wrong with the plumbing here? I first stayed at the Sea Venture a few years ago on a business trip. During my first week, the ceiling in my room started to leak, so I was temporarily moved for a day or two until they got it fixed. A co-worker and I stayed here again earlier this year. Instead of my room leaking this time, it was his bathroom. I don't get it.
Rooms are nice, but really small. Fireplace and hot tub on the balcony are all pluses. Good location - right on the beach and within easy walking distance to the pier and shops.
Not having a microwave is a negative for me (especially if I'm planning to stay for an extended period of time).
Very comfortable bed. Great night's rest.
BUT - the hotel is about 20 years outdated. It's like I'm stepping back into the year 1991. It feels like you're on the set of a nighttime soap opera that took place by the beach but was canceled on FOX after the first 6 episodes.
Could use major renovation. (I can just see one of those Zach Morris cell phones being offered complimentary by the front desk)
This is one resort that has really good customer service. Sometimes, the positive attitude of the staff at any particular location is really all that matters. And my experience here was very good. I was a bit frustrated when I first walked in because I had gotten lost (I bought my Nuvi a couple months later). The staff at the front desk were very helpful and very understanding. I had originally asked for one of the cheaper rooms that had a jacuzzi. None of those were available, so they upgraded me for free to one of the best rooms with a jacuzzi. Later that evening, I wanted to walk around a bit to unwind. One of the employees saw me wandering aimlessly and gave me some tips on some places down the road and down the beach to check out. The beach is gorgeous, but it was incredibly foggy in the morning.
The room was a bit smaller than I was expecting, but that was okay with me. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE. And the jacuzzi was nice and relaxing. I was somewhat apprehensive at first, because the tub was out on the balcony and the folks in the building across the way can see you. But then I got over it. Relaxing in a hot tub in the cool night breeze took my paranoia away.
If you like being close to the beach, this is the place to stay. And the very helpful employees are an added bonus.
I'm sorry. I hate removing stars - but after two nights of listening to rumbling upstairs from the restaurant, even I can't be that patient. I tried. I should have been warned first. Noise usually went on until around 11:30p, and then started up again around 6:30am. Not cool.
And the doors to the rooms are very thin. You can hear all from the hall.
Splurge on something that's ocean view - and on the third floor. I was on the side, overlooking junky backyards, and the sound from the other units totally echoed through our L shaped building configuration - and straight into my room. I do have to say, when you close the patio door, you don't hear the noise outside anymore.
No AC in the room, but there is a ceiling fan that works great. Great location - can't beat the walk right onto the beach, and then the 10 minute walk along the boardwalk to the little downtown area.
I guess if I had a different room, it would still be 4 stars. Very friendly service - both from room service and the front desk. I totally give 5 stars to them.

Only went to this resort because of a wedding. The rooms are decorated with white beachy wood, picket fence. Very nice I thought. The rooms that we saw were small for the price they had to pay. I think they had continental breakfast. Otherwise, if your a beach person and would rather be on the beach than stay indoors then this will be a good place. Right on Pismo Beach and couple blocks from the shopping strip.
The wedding reception took place at the restaurant upstairs. I thought the catered menu was very good. Especially the caesar salad!
The first impression I got when we arrived here was Sa-Weeeeet!
The lobby was very nice, the staff was very polite and friendly.
We had a room that was ocean side, had a hot tub on the balcony, and looked like a little cottage inside. That was all very good!
However the weather was terrible! The entire time we were there it was raining so heavily. That of course is no fault to the establishment.
But the leak the saturated half the bed is!
They didn't have any other available rooms for us to switch to. So we slept wherever it was not wet lol. In the morning when we were leaving though and we were talking to the manager about our experience, he gave us a steep discount and coupons if we decided to come back at the same discounted rate.
So I didn't ding them as many stars as others might. Their customer service is fantastic and they really do try to everything to make you happy. I am sure the leak was just another example of I have terrible luck at this stuff. Can't a girl get a break!?
We stayed in this hotel in the spring, and had a very nice and relaxing weekend at the place. We didn't eat here or order room service, but we did get the complimentary breakfast each day. This was really a highlight - it was included in the cost of the room, and was really good and delivered right to your room. You get a basket with two beverages (coffee, juices, etc), two choices of food (such as toast, muffins, fruit, and so on), jam and condiments. I think that was it. But it was a big value-add - that sort of thing in any other hotel would run well over $20 I'm sure.
The hotel itself is right on the (gorgeous) beach, and had complementary bikes and such that you could take out (we didn't, and just walked - but saw others taking advantage of this, and the equipment looked to be in good shape).
The room had a gas fireplace, and there was a hot tub out on the deck. Everything was nice and clean, although the room was a tad dark (the dark paint accentuated this) -- it made the room seem smaller than it actually was. There's also a small bar sink/fridge in the place and a small table and chairs, as per usual. The bed wasn't super comfortable though.
We would stay there again, but might prefer to try out other places next time just to see what's around. Would recommend this hotel though. Look for deals on the interweb.
This is suppose to be one of the best places to go for brunch on sundays- it does have a great view and quiet dining atmosphere...Food can be had for better prices at neighborhood restaurants!
