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.

Can't think of one negative to say,only positives!

Clean. Quiet. Felt safe. Managers are on site, and professional. Well maintained swimming pool and jacuzzi. Hard wood flooring in the room gave it a clean, spacious feel. This hotel is an older motel, but has been updated with modern amenities such as flat screen t.v., built in charging port at lamp area, and backlit bathroom mirror with mirror defogger. Our room smelled fresh. Nice linens. Good pillows. You can tell they try to keep things clean, I even saw a maintenance man cleaning the parking lot and upstairs walk way area. Even though it is an older hotel, the price was right and we chose to stay here over the higher-priced, newer hotel next door. Would absolutely stay here again.

Nice spot for super quick trip to SLO. Right by Freeway for quick travel getaway. Bed comfortable - ask for a room on second floor as a little noisy on ground floor. Free parking and good location.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I arrived, the bedroom door was left wide open. The bedroom door latch was completely ineffective, allowing anyone to easily push it open without effort. The room carried an unpleasant odor, making me feel uneasy and unsafe. As a result, I barely got any sleep. The entire property is rundown and filthy both inside and out. Piles of furniture and supplies cluttered the parking lot, occupying a significant amount of space. I would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone.
