I loved walking in and see that there were two beds but each one had their own space. It actually felt like a two bedroom. I would definitely stay at this location again!

Great location less than 3/4 mile from downtown SLO. Be VERY aware that checkout is at 11:00 AM SHARP. The property puts a $100 hold on your credit card to cover $50/hour late checkout fee. You MUST take your key back to the office to make them aware you are departing.

The hotel as one of the first as you exit the 101-N and is very convenient. While it's not to far of a walk from downtown, some may want to drive. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the rooms are clean, and the area is quiet.

This was our 4th stop over on our family road trip and I was so upset at the unfriendliness of the check in. It just seemed to be about listing all the rules (including emphasing the check out time) rather than welcoming paying guests. The coffee/tea in reception was very limited, only available for 3 hrs(but I suppose better than nothing). There was no access to free water. Close to the main shopping street so convenient. It was clean, had a fridge/freezer, microwave and TV. The beds were comfortable but no choice of pillows so I awoke with severe neck ache.

There is a fair walk to downtown, but the price makes it worth the trade off. The condition of the property and room were recently modernized so it felt great.
