A quiet, safe place to sleep if you have a late flight into SLO and don't want to drive up the coast in the middle of the night. Pretty basic, but clean and decently kept. Pet friendly, plenty of parking, nearby gas stations.

We stay here any time we come that way which is quite often. Maybe about 6 times a year. We have never had any problems. It was a little confusing because there is now motel 6 and studio 6 sites to choose from but other than that another nice stay. Will continue to book here in the future

Good value

It was a good stay. The room was clan and neat. The bathroom was clean and the everything worked well. The free WIFI is slow but dependable. Faster WIFI is available at extra charge. The furniture was not very comfortable, but the bed was. There was coffee in the office in the morning and it was very good. The room did have a refrigerator and microwave, and both worked. Another added benefit is that pets stay free. There were also areas for dogs with doggy bag dispensers.
