Super clean, very friendly staff, convenient to walk downtown. It was noisy with traffic during the morning. Try to stay on the 2nd floor - we had very loud people above us that were up past 4 am for 2 of our nights there so no sleep for us.

This is a very nice hotel for a couple of night when exploring SLO town and university. It’s clean and the beds are comfortable. Although there is no breakfast, the bakery/cafe next door is fantastic. So, no loss there.

Basic clean older motel just off the freeway entering downtown SLO. Convenient location, free parking. 2 stories of rooms around a parking lot. No pool, garden, amenities, or common area. Freeway noise quiets about midnight. They keep aggressive lights on outside all night that shone in past room shades. The room was basic, bed ok, updated basic bath fixtures. They did respond promptly to request to change a broken lightbulb. Charged for early checkin. I would only stay there again if everywhere else was full. Quality Suites, also close to downtown, was much better on a previous visit. I was shocked that this had 9 stars, it's just ok.

Good stay

My stay was good but the bed sheets were not comfortable for me, maybe they were synthetic as they didn’t seem breathable.
