10/10 Exceptional

Good place for a family to stay

Nothing fancy, but the room was clean and beds comfortable, and front desk staff were friendly. The location is quiet and in walking distance of downtown. We stayed in a family suite. The TV in the second room wasn't able to show anything and the lamp in the corner of the main room wasn't working (same room and same issues as last time), but these were minor issues.

Please don't come to that hotel late.

Wasn't able to get inside the hotel. Even the hotel confirmed my booking the lobby was closed. I called the number which was listed on the paper attached to the lobby door. The manager told me that he is not willing to come to the hotel and give me the key from my room. I had to book another hotel

4/10 Fair

Upon getting there I had to switch rooms twice. 1st time because a/c didn’t work, then tv-cable didn’t work in second room. 3rd room was better but, had a leaking fridge and heat lamp in rest room was broken and lamp next to bed was inop.

10/10 Exceptional

For such a nice place, this is very reasonably priced, especially for the day before Thanksgiving. It's now my go-to booking for out of town relatives! Walking distance to the beautiful SLO downtown, so especially convenient for folks who come in on a train and don't want to rent a car. Highly recommended!
Susan, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Think twice, read reviews

The sink drain pipe leaked on the floor so I had to use my limited towels for that. The WiFi did not work and the representative at the counter “did not know how the system worked”. The ice machine was broken so I had to walk across the street and upstairs for ice. The hot tub was broken as well. The place was basically a rundown property that was barely habitable. Would not recommended.

The staff was great. They need to buy a new luggage cart, the other one is falling apart. It was very difficult to maneuver once you get your luggage on. Otherwise had a nice stay.

Could Use Some TLC

It was ok for a place to sleep and shower. The hot water ran out around 10am. Some horrible black gunk backed up into the sink while we slept. The heat lamp made a noise like an air raid siren. Housekeeping only left one washcloth and no hand towels. On the plus side the room was clean and the staff was nice.
