Scene
A relaxed and comfortable chain hotel with beautiful grounds and lovely views
The Hilton Garden Inn Pismo Beach looks fairly typical of the chain from the outside, with beige and cream stucco, a tile roof, and neatly kept landscaping. A relaxed and welcoming
atmosphere flows through the contemporary, bright lobby, which has brown
tile, modern light fixtures, and stylish armchairs in cheerful prints and shades of orange and beige. Potted plants and free newspapers also adorn the area, and all guests
receive snacks -- including popcorn -- and water upon arrival. The on-site restaurant, Great American
Grill, combines brown-patterned carpet with wood floors and multicolored seating. Granite countertops cover the breakfast serving area, while orange armchairs sit beside a fireplace and flat-screen TV. Next to the
restaurant is the Pavilion Lounge with orange high chairs, a flat-screen TV,
and wood floors. On the outdoor patio, simple chairs and tables sit below orange umbrellas, and guests -- typically couples, families, and business travelers -- can use the barbecue grill. The patio offers lovely city views, and palm trees lend an easygoing, beachy ambiance.
