Unique property. Old, huge Victorian-style converted house. Well maintained. Huge room. Great location just steps away from downtown SLO. Breakfast was french toast but think that change by the day.

Everything an inn should be...welcoming staff person, well-appointed rooms, comfy sitting area with fireplace, delicious and unusual breakfast menu. Plus it's walking distance to great restaurants and lovely shops. I will be staying here again, I'm sure.

Inn is in an old historic building with modern conveniences like renovated rooms and nice bedding. Lots of places outside to sit and enjoy all the neighborhood trees and flowers. Walkable to downtown shops, restaurants and bars. Be sure to stay when there's a concert at the Fremont Theatre. No parking, street or garage.

Jul 14, 2025
Unfortunately despite the price tag competing with 4 and 5 star hotels the property was run down and old with a malfunctioning sink that did NOT drain and a very old bed that caused all kinds of neck and back pain; the shower curtain was coming off the wall, and the patio furniture was filthy dirty and unusable
