When you drive in, it gives off slight Bates motel vibes, but once we got in the room we were very happy. Very clean and spacious, the beds and pillows were comfortable and a quick 5 minute drive to downtown. We were only here for one nite.

gross place for such a cute town

The hotel is extremely dirty. We were given a room with a dirty diaper in the bathroom, the floors were not clean, the window in the bathroom was off its track, the curtains were torn. Pretty bad :( Also, we were on the bottom floor and the simple walking around of the occupants above us was extremely loud (not their fault) in our room.

The hot tub wasn't working, but other than that, it was clean, somewhat spacious, and comfortable. You can't beat the price.

The good: Very close to Cal Poly and downtown San Luis Obispo. Spacious room. The bad: The showers were moldy and did not drain well, and the hot tub was not hot. The heater/AC was full of dust and when we turned it on it smelled like it was burning. Reservation for two queen beds and given a room with one king bed - not ideal for mom & teenager.

for the price the room was as expected. it was clean. The room had an old smell to it and there was a chair in the room that looked stained but other than that it was fine. I would stay here again.
