10/10 Exceptional

Great stay for affordable price

Comfortable beds, large bathroom, extra blankets. Mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker as well as brewed coffee in the front office. It worked really well for us. It's not fancy but good. My only gripes are that the closet was hard to get to and while there was a smallish table, there was no desk. Overall, very nice and affordable

One night stay near airport

Perfect for an overnight stay to get to the airport early! Walls are a bit thin, but once other guests quieted down, I didn’t hear any noise from the airport or nearby road. I had to be at the airport at 430am and easily scheduled an uber the night before to make the 10 minute drive. Staff was extremely kind and accommodating upon arrival.

First time visit

My first time visiting San Luis Obispo, and everything was great! I was hoping to save money where I could, and selecting Avenue Inn helped with that. Everything I needed, and an excellent location! Enough amenities just outside my door, and perfectly walkable to the downtown. Just blocks away! I will DEFINITELY return to Avenue Inn.

Front desk was helpful with recommendations for food and local farmer’s market but the map provided did not match what was explained so had difficulty finding recommended restaurants. I was not expecting the room to have two separate rooms (no doors) but it was not very spacious. I was

Good stay

My stay was good but the bed sheets were not comfortable for me, maybe they were synthetic as they didn’t seem breathable.

Thin walls and noisy

Couple next door were very loud late into the night. Walls were thin. I have stayed here before and was happy but this time was not good.
