Downtown San Luis Obispo is nice

This hotel is very convenient near the downtown area of San Luis Obispo. You can easily walk around to eat and go out at night. The hotel is about 20 minutes from the beach but you will need to get an Uber.

DO NO stay here!!!! The guy at the front who I am Assuming is the manager was so disrespectful and rude. My sister asked him for different sheets because the ones in her room are dirty and he started going off on her and then saying things like “ I know your kind of people, who rent one room and sneak your whole family in” & other rude things like “you’re stupid”. Mind you, we rented 3 rooms with queen beds for 9 adults & 2 toddlers. He canceled all of our reservations. My brother in law forgot his ID there & when he went back to get it, He threw it outside, and when my sister went to pick it up from the ground, he flipped off my sister. I called expedia right away but he refused to give my sister a refund because HE wasn’t happy the way my sister talked to him!!

In town for a wedding and very convenient to all events, worked perfect for us. Staff was great and extremely attentive. The hotel is dated but the rooms were very clean- could use an upgrade but everything was functional, and in working order. Pool was great, hot tub was great and a nice view to go with it. It is a great value... you get what you pay for. We needed a place to sleep and relax in close proximity to downtown and the Inn was just that.

I won't stay here again. For the price, it wasn't worth it. There was what appeared to be a blood stain on the sheets. Beds were uncomfortable. Bathroom door would get stuck and not open easily. Person at the front desk was not friendly. He charged me $100 deposit without telling me. Just took my ID and ran my card with no communication.

This place sucks! The property owner clearly doesn't care about his business or clientel. The room was dirty. The facilities obviously have not been painted. The hot tub was lukewarm at best. The television options were dismal.There were only 15 ish channels and all sucked.

We checked in after hours and reception very clearly told me that they would probably hear complaints from downstairs because we were most likely going to be noisy, since I had a 10 and 16 year old with me. He said he didn’t mean to be rude, as if excusing his assumption that we would be loud. However, there is no choice but to make noise because the walls and floors are paper thin. The floors squeak loudly and there is no way to be completely silent. Other than the initial irritation that I’d called ahead of time and cleared our late check in and still met an annoyed receptionist, who I believe is the owner, we had a great stay. He must have just been grumpy because I had him up late, which is understandable, except he made me very comfortable on the phone when I communicated our approximate check in time. S
