Don’t overlook this hotel
Great place to stay. Not far from Morro Bay. Clean and comfortable with easy access just off the 101 freeway and charming downtown San Luis Obispo. Great value!

Friendly, clean, convenient
Logan at the front desk set the tone for a lovely stay. Great to know that a few rooms have kitchenettes (I was in 301 with one). Hot tub was nice and pool area is well kept. Decor is a bit dated but spotlessly clean. Thanks for a wonderful stay
