This property is the worst one I have stayed at in San Luis Obispo. The beds were uncomfortable, the furniture was falling apart and the bathtub had mold around it. You could use either the microwave or the fridge but not both due to the plugs and outlets, nothing a simple power strip wouldn’t fix.
