Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room had a bad smell when we got there, the room above us had very noisy people and staff failed to do anything to quiet them down. I definitely will stay there again and would tell anyone that was thinking about staying to find some place else. The hot tub wasn't working and just overall a very bad place to spend money on.

This is a motel in need of some updates and a good deep clean. You get what you pay for. It’s located in the hotel/motel zone of SLO.
