We had an amazing day of driving. Weather in the 80s. We started in farm country, traversing vineyards, orchards, cotton fields and dairies. We passed into the hills, winding our way through mountains and canyons where the ground is a mixture of grazing livestock and oil pumps. We passed through the mountains and through Monterey County to the coast. I took some pictures, but have not downloaded from my camera. I was lovely, and the Sunchaser drove like a champ.
But joy was not to be found in Shell Beach. When we arrived at The Cliffs resort, whose web site promised that pets were welcome, we were told we had to specifically request a pet room and they had nothing for us. Then they said they were going to charge us for the night anyway. My reaction was not pleasant, and they relented when I began dialing my credit card provider in front of the manager to challenge the charge.
We ended up at a humble beachside motel in Pismo that was 25% of the price, and the old lady who checked me in was a sweet and chill beach person. It isn’t fancy, but honestly it is better. We went to dinner and met a couple who runs a family construction business, and Toby made friends with their dog. It all worked out beautifully.
Took a walk from the hotel, and am having a Modelo.

it Should have to be stipulated in any form of advertising that people with pets need to book/ring in advance
But that’s my 2c worth
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

Oh man, sounds like you’ve had an interesting day of it.
Glad it paid off in the end for you though.

Out of respect for our guests who may be sensitive to pets and to allow easy access outside for you and your furry friend, our pet-friendly rooms are located on our first floor only. So, when you make your reservations, please let us know that you are bringing your dog so we can provide the right accommodations.

I took a look at their website cause I too was incredulous that they wouldn’t advertise it clearly, but it is written on their “Furry Friends” page. It is a couple paragraphs down, and easy to miss, but nevertheless, it is there.
Maybe its new and it wasn’t there before, though.
