"We enjoyed our first stay at Apple Farm. Room was a nice size with loveseat and sitting chair. Cookies in the afternoon and freshly brewed coffee in the lobby were a nice touch. The property is away from most of the nicer restaurants, but a 5 minute Uber ride solves that problem and you also avoid trying to find parking in downtown SLO. My only real complaint (minor) would be to replace window screen that was missing, so we could get some fresh air. Asides from that detail, we really enjoyed our stay and will return again in the future!"
