Downtown San Luis Obispo is nice
This hotel is very convenient near the downtown area of San Luis Obispo. You can easily walk around to eat and go out at night. The hotel is about 20 minutes from the beach but you will need to get an Uber.

Beds were super comfortable and rooms were overly spacious. Water pressure was great as well. Lots of food places in walking distance and gas stations as well. I will definitely stay there again.

Good fir quick trip to SLO
Nice spot for super quick trip to SLO. Right by Freeway for quick travel getaway. Bed comfortable - ask for a room on second floor as a little noisy on ground floor. Free parking and good location.

It was comfortable enough, mostly clean and basic but the room we were in was very old and worn down, stains on carpet & lampshades, bathroom window screen falling off and window would not close, tiles on bathroom floor lifting. Fine if really on a budget but you get what you are paying for.

The man who owns this hotel puts no effort into his character but does put a decent amount into his hotel. Outdated but clean enough rooms. There's a pool and hot tub, which we really enjoyed. I read the reviews and many are similar. This isn't a place to be treated like a person but it's a decent hotel with comfortable beds, a fridge, a microwave, some parking and a pool.

the outside is a little outdated compared to how all the hotels look around the area. but the inside was nice, super large pool! they let us keep swimming after we checked out. loved the shower. The workers were nice and was fast check in. only negative was the hot tub. it wasn't hot, it was more Luke warm.
