Location, staff, and value
Homeless guy hanging around outside my room
Clean and comfortable at a great rate. Owners/managers were amazingly customer friendly.
Location was a bit of a walk from downtown but a great walk.
The hotel was in walking distance to downtown. It was a great price for a no frills, clean hotel room. The man at the counter was very nice a gave a lot of good recommendations for restaurants.
The hotel is located near downtown which is convenient for those who enjoy downtown San Luis Obispo.
The facility is old and sound proofing is below average. The room is very small. The hotel charges $50/hour for check out after 11AM. No breakfast for guests.
It was clean. The bed was comfortable.
You can check in early for $25.00. We just wanted to leave our bags so they let us leave them there by the desk. You can have late check out for $50.00 an hr. We didn't ask for either.
I liked who I was with
I got charged $250 for my friend throwing up on sheets/pillowcases. As if the ones given to us were perfectly clean when they already had stains. As soon as I was leaving they charged me it which made it worse. I definitely won¿t be coming back here.
Staff was friendly, room and bathroom were clean, AC and shower worked. Pretty much all I'm looking for in a hotel.
Nothing really, just nothing special about it.
Location! The hotel is in walking distance to downtown
The staff was rude. Also my confirmation said check in was at 2 but the staff said it was at 3 and I would be charged $30 to check in early
Location! Location! Location! Just off the freeway, but not too noisy. Very comfy bed.
Needs a hot tub..;)
Everything there was very clean and remodeled with new bathrooms. The bedding was superb.
Everything was great!
Nice people at the desk for both check-in and check-out. Good location in downtown SLO. Good price for a clean, safe place to stay.
Location was good
noisy rooms and uncomfortable bed
Clean room, rather small and outdated.
Great location. nice people. free breakfast. clean room.
no complaints.
Great location, clean room, tasty breakfast, and nice staff on premises.
We didn't love that we were right next to the laundry room, so there was a cart parked in front of our door for most of our visit. We understand that it's necessary, but it was a little loud, starting fairly early on a weekend. Otherwise, a good stay!
Good location. Close to downtown.
From check-in to check-out, I had a very negative experience here. Very inexperienced staff and management. Was blamed for having a poor credit card (the truth was that their machines were malfunctioning). Only good thing is the location.
Quiet
No lift to the second floor.
