10/10 Exceptional

Well priced near downtown SLO

It was the cheapest place I could find around San Luis Obispo making a last minute booking on a Friday night. I needed a place crash and it served my needs. No frills, but everything was adequate.
Frank, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was great for just a one night stay
Kaleb, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth the price

Rundown place, terrible parking and parking lot broken concrete and uneven. Old building. Rooms super small. Broken outlets. Super small bathroom and we stayed in a “suite”. No amenities. Only plus was that it was literally next to freeway entrance.
Broken outlet and roaches
Jose Arturo, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Outdated

Rooms definitely need some attention. Wall not repaired and painted where toilet paper dispenser had been moved. Bathroom door had to be lifted to close. Screws in hinges coming out. Lights by the bed were not working. Would be nice to have a place to charge your phone close to the bed.

gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very nice and courteous. They were accomodating in holding a ground floor room for us.

Closer to train station
Yolanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked the TV amenities (I was able to access my Netflix & Youtube accounts without issue). The room I was needs some furniture upgrade.
Miguel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I booked this place because it was affordable and it seemed like it had good reviews, but after an hour and a half of being there, being showered, and relaxing in bed, I started getting bites on my stomach and my side, so I left immediately.
Juan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was nice, big, spatial room, great location and price, if you’re booking little bit ahead of time! There is something I didn’t feel comfortable about… when I was checking out, I had my friend picking me up, and I was ready and packed, with my door open and ready to go, at the time of check out… but when my friend had arrived little bit after the checkout time, the attitude of the person who checked me in was not very pleasant…. But who cares about that I guess… It is nice, clean, big rooms place to stay! I will come back if I will be travelling there again!

desperate times calls for desperate measures. It's an average to below average motel
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice area to stay at and not so expensive
Brenda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A bargain at $67 per night - simple, clean, convenient.
Dave, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Inexpensive - but worth it?

We booked late for a Cal Poly event. The price was good. The room is run-down, dirty, small, noisy, and in disrepair. The only good thing was the bedding was clean, and the beds pretty comfortable.
Joelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The manager, Nick, is a very nice guy who was super accommodating when we had a problem with our TV. This is one of the nicer budget downtown hotels in SLO. Close to everything, clean, and reasonably updated. I would stay here again.

This property has all the basic amenities you need for a pleasant stay in a quiet yet convenient area. It was lovely
Marina, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room looked runned down. The TV Wall mount was missing screws that were supposed to be attached to the wall, making the TV almost fall off the mount. The toilet had a crack on the lid. The "Clothing Rack" was low on the floor and was in the bathroom.
Abraham, 1-night trip

Good hotel for the price.
