California coastal chic gem with special amenities
This little inn in San Luis Obispo is a gem! It's been fully redecorated in a fabulous California coastal, organic modern style. The location provides easy access to the quaint downtown, Cal Poly SLO campus, and a short drive to Avila Beach. The property has thoughtful, delightful, well curated amenities, such as bikes/helmets for rides around town, fresh local coffee and pastries delivered outside your door each morning, high-end curated in-room snacks and beverages, and Aesop personal care products. Most importantly the bed was comfortable and supportive!

It's perfection for a 3-star hotel. Little details mean so much. Free champagne, jazz music playing, fireplace, great A/C, beautiful bathroom and super comfy beds. We will be back every time we are in the area.

Lovely spot to rest your soul 😊
Fabulous location, wonderful and clean room. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast brought to our room in the morning with fresh roasted coffee and local pastries. Little touches that go a long way like free bikes to borrow, the breakfast and a bag with caramels upon leaving. We would def stay again!!!

Nice property very close to campus. Rooms were very nice with a large bathroom and walk in shower. Beds were very large and comfy. In room fireplace but we did not use it. It could use a small table for some counter space but nice place overall. Staff was very friendly and helpful with directions and anything else we needed. Check in and out was a breeze. We walked to downtown area but it is a long walk.
