We needed to stay in downtown SLO on short notice and Los Padres Inn worked out perfectly. The staff was very friendly and professional and the room was comfy. Free parking was also nice and lots of local restaurants and pubs within walking distance.

The place is clean and fine overall. Some parts of the room need to be repaired or replaced. The furniture is old and dated while the bathroom door won’t latch because the door frame needs to be fixed. No hand soap and the toilet paper was left from the guest before. The staff was friendly but the place overall needs a major upgrade, especially for the price range.
