Location was amazing! Staff were very helpful. Room was decent sized and fairly clean. Air conditioner needs cleaning. Price was very good compared to the crazy prices at most other motels. Would come back.

My family and myself have stayed here twice and we booked the family suite . It was a great size for our family of 6. It’s also conveniently located to shops and steps away from the beach.
Staff was very kind . I would definitely recommend staying central coast Inn.

It was very quiet and clean. I liked that it was walking distance to the beach, food, and a few bars. Very pleasant without the crowds and busy traffic which is exactly what I needed.

Clean room. Good location but it is not on the beach nor is there a beach view. I like that there is no carpet in the rooms. Walla are thin so I could hear people talking in the next room.

We really enjoyed the stay. It was not our intended place but we stayed for the first time due to few vacancies around town and we are very happy. The room and grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.

Perfect location, quaint and cozy motel, great staff, great cost, and easy parking. We didn’t bring our dogs but dogs are welcome and there were SO many in this cute little town. We’ll bring them next time.

Very nice place to stay
I’ve had a lovely experience staying at this place. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable, there were inly 3 pillows but you can request for more. The only thing that was a downside was the WiFi. It was very slow and difficult to connect to. But I had cell service so it’s not a big deal. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes and it was the highlight of my short stay.

The property was clean and fine just don't expect many amenities. I would recommend booking directly with the motel as they won't work with you on the room if you book third party such as Expedia. We had room #18 which I don't recommend and was told that there was nothing they can do about since I booked with Expedia. Having been a Travel Advisor for the past 10 years I know that's a reason they hide behind not wanting to assist in changing rooms. Not the best customer service but it fit the rest of the experience.

March get away
We have been staying here for 5 yrs now , the owners are friendly. I love the location, the rooms are clean, great parking. The only thing that needs attention is the towels, they are not white, they are old and grey looking, come on owners replace them. I started bringing my own towels from home. Maybe get new pillows they are flat and you only get 3.

Management personal are constantly watching what you’re doing. It’s a no smoking property yet management smoking outside and the smoke was going right into our room. My room was for up to 6 people, which we had 6 people yet charged an extra $100 for an extra person. Only given 4 towels for 6 people and 1 small garage can in the bathroom. It is close enough to walk to shops, pier and beach.

Staying at the Central Coast Inn has always been a very good experience. Cayucos is a Satisfying stay. Access to the beach is only a Moment away and so is the local cuisine. For my wife and Me .. Just Fine 🙂
