Older property, but clean. Rooms on the small side. No sofa or love seat. No breakfast of any kind. Not enough parking spaces for all the rooms! Would be a problem when full. Excellent location on the edge of old town San Luis Obispo. Good price.

The property is clean, but the walls are very thin and it was very noisy. Sunday morning the room next to us was playing music really loudly. They also charge to check in early, which I think in this day and age is outdated.
