I like to stay here because affordable, clean, pool,jacuzzi. One thing I would like to see would be fresh water in a pitcher of some sort to drink or fill our water bottles. Also, there was a group of people Tuesday evening, partying after hours. It appeared that the staff did not address this. It was disturbing…

Loved our one night stay. About a mile from Cal Poly SLO and downtown SLO. Employees were very nice and room was nothing fancy, but just what we needed. A bit bummed there was no fridge but I improvised with ice. Beds were comfy and place was quiet. Breakfast in the morning was cpffee, tea, oatmeal and pastries.

The price was right for a two queen size beds, room. The room was quiet despite being next to the freeway. The bed was very comfortable and pillows were good quality. Towels were newer and not scratchy. The shower in room 325 has been beautifully updated with new tile and glass door. The only negative is the property is showing signs of being dated such as older and mismatched furniture in the room which might be the disadvantage up against the “fancy” name brand hotels. For the great price, I would definitely book here again!
