I spent last weekend in Pismo Beach.  I drove down there Friday night with a buddy and didn’t get in until after midnight.  We were both pretty tired and ended up just calling it a night.  The hotel room at the Sandcastle Inn was pretty basic, but it had a nice view.  They are also pet friendly so I was able to bring my puppies on the trip with me.  The price was very reasonable even with it being a winter month.  The weather was a little wet and overcast most of the time, but you can’t really expect more than that even if someone makes guarantees or promises otherwise.  There weren’t a lot of people laying on the beach obviously, but a good amount walking their dogs or taking a walk themselves.

We had the continental breakfast the hotel serves which was pretty basic – bagels, toast, muffins, waffles, juice, etc.  I wasn’t expecting much more, but I definitely needed to eat somewhere else the following morning.

After that I took the dogs for a walk along the beach.  We had hot chocolates at Mon Ami a small coffee and crepe shop in downtown Pismo.  The people there were very friendly and let me take the dogs in which was nice.  The hot chocolate was pretty good as well.  There weren’t a lot of people out in Pismo Beach nor San Luis Obispo for that matter.  I’m pretty sure it was probably bad weather, but it seemed like a ghost town in lots of parts.
