The people working here were very nice and professional. Unfortunately, the property itself is not in the best condition. The carpets, both in the rooms and in the hallways and public spaces were badly stained. In order to access your room, you enter a side door that goes past an open laundry area. Our room had an oddly low toilet and a flickering lightbulb in one of the bedside lamps. There were holes in the back of the bathroom door where there may at some point have been a hook. This wasn't the hotels fault, but we were woken up several times during the night due to guests in our hallway partying. We were told that there was a large wedding party staying there. All of this would have been easier to overlook if we hadn't been paying a premium for this room -- $350 for a very 2.5-star experience. We've stayed in nicer rooms through so-called Budget Friendly hotels like Best Western, Courtyard by Marriott, and La Quinta, for half the price. We definitely expected a bit more from a Hilton for $350 a night.

Thank you for your recent stay at The Kinney and for taking the time to provide your feedback. I am delighted that our team made a positive impact. And I sincerely apologize for your experience; this is not the level of service we are accustomed to providing on a daily basis. This information will help us to improve! We just had a professional company clean all of our carpets. We are hoping to have you back again, and hopefully we will be able to earn a 5 out of 5 on your next trip to SLO!

The only thing that prevented the stay from being all "excellent" is the missing microwave oven that took the management 3 hours to bring to the room. Otherwise, the stay is better than expected.

Nice concept but finishes are low quality, and with time will show even more signs of wear.

Excellent room, service and location except for the lack of privacy available to our room from the outdoor patio/courtyard. the sheer draperies were not enough, and the heavy draperies do not pull all the way closed. Like I said, excellent except for this item!

Decor is certainly geared toward the college crowd. Staff was very friendly. Room had not been vacuumed after last guest. Restaurant had very few breakfast options. Beds were stiff. Not horrible but not not great either. Bedding was really nice.
