We stayed one night in beautiful SLO and found this gem of an inn. Such a warm welcome by the staff and although we had to miss breakfast due to an early start, we did enjoy the welcome drink and charcuterie platter. I unfortunately left something in my room and they called immediately to work out how to get it back to me! Would love to stay there again for a few nights to fully explore the area and to try their restaurant. We walked downtown from the hotel and it was an easy 15 min stroll.
