I’ve stayed at a few Hotels in SLO, from expensive to not so expensive. I love it here. It’s not your Apple Farm or Madonna Inn or any other expensive Hotel, but it’s great for the price! It’s right in Downtown SLO, minutes from Cal Poly. Great location, friendly staff, rooms could be better, but they are clean. I am super picky and I am okay staying here. For the price, it’s a great choice. Now, if you want room service, spa, restaurant, bar… etc this is not for you. It’s more on the Motel side, but nice, clean, safe and friendly staff.

Nice little motel right off the freeway exit. This was my 2nd stay. The room refrigerator is pretty spacious and the freezer was big enough to keep four ice packs frozen each night after a day in my backpack cooler. Just wish they had a 24 hour access to self-serve laundry. 5-10 minute walk from all of the downtown SLO restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. Easy freeway access.

Room was clean, older motel with sufficient upgrades. Two queens barely fit in the room but mattresses were very comfortable, with clean linens, good quality sheets. Good for a one night stay.

This is a great little motel that is close to downtown San Luis Obispo. The rooms are small, but very clean. Shops and restaurants are an easy 4 to 5 block walk. Probably the best location for walking to town. The bathroom was newly renovated, but doesn’t include a tub. Overall, this was a great place to stay.

Within walking distance of downtown
This is a nice hotel within walking distance of downtown. It was not fancy but it was very clean and the staff was friendly. The shower head placement was a little off, especially for short people, but overall we enjoyed our stay.
