Memorial Day Weekend 2025

I went there for Memorial Day weekend. For someone without a car, it is conveniently located to downtown San Luis Obispo(about a 10-15 minute walk). The service was great and reasonable. Only downside of the property is that it is right by an on ramp to Highway 101. So, there is bound to be many cars when crossing the street. All in all, i enjoying my stay and i might return at somepoint in the future!!

This property had dirty bed skirts. The linens should’ve been white but instead they were brown. A pillow that was once white was was yellowed. The floor was filthy. My socks were white and after walking on the floor they became black with dirt. I had to throw them away. I became concerned for hygiene and end up leaving after a few hours.

Price was good for the size of the room. We stayed in a family suite. Cleanliness was terrible. The whole place felt dirty and icky. You get what you pay for I guess. The place has definite potential if they did a better job cleaning up after guests. Due to that issue, probably would not stay here again. (i.e. towels had stains, couch had stains and crumbs. Floors were dirty and stained.)

Good property for the price. Needed a place to crash for the night. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. Wifi worked, bathroom was older but everything worked, tV was small but good enough. The "property fee" is a little.suspect, but still a good budget hotel. I would stay there again if needed an overnight place.

Marriott?!?

I came for a wedding and I asked to check in early. They let me check in early and even upgraded in my room. My room was brand new. It was beautiful. It looks like a damn Marriott. It was perfect for what I needed for the weekend and like I said it’s by my favorite deli shop

I have never experienced a dirtier floor in any hotel or motel room. It was a vinyl plank linoleum. It seems it has never been vacuumed swept or mopped. I was afraid to walk on it barefooted. The walls by the bathroom sink had hair on them. The services of the furniture appeared clean in the linen appeared clean. There was trash right outside our room door and in various spots in the parking lot. It needed someone topick up trash.
