I used to really enjoy staying here but it’s no longer well managed. Each of the three days I stayed here I was locked out of my room after the room keys quit working. Then, one day I spilled some water on the floor, only to discover that the floors in both the room and bathroom were filthy (the towel I used to wipe up the water was black afterwards). San Luis has a lot of hotel options available, there’s really no excuse for what I experienced at the San Luis Creek Lodge.

As someone in hospitality, I appreciate thoughtful service and well-executed details—but I’m also particularly sensitive to missteps. My recent stay had several standout moments, but also a few disappointments. The hotel is charming, with a boutique aesthetic. Our room was clean, with nice water pressure, and luxurious bathroom amenities. The front desk staff was friendly, and I appreciated the convenience of text-based communication. One of the loveliest touches was the morning delivery of a thermos of coffee and pastries hung on our door. Unfortunately, we didn’t know this was part of the experience and only discovered it as we were leaving. Had we known, we would’ve enjoyed it more leisurely. Where they fell short: A laundry cart remained outside our room during our entire stay, which detracted from the overall presentation. The room was dark, even in the afternoon. Though our room overlooked the SLO creek, there was no balcony or seating area to enjoy the view. Indeed there was no comfortable place to relax other than the bed, which made it hard to unwind. There was an ice machine, but no accessible water source. When we asked at the front desk, we were directed to a local mini mart. A water dispenser in the lobby or near the ice machine would have helped. Ultimately the biggest dealbreaker was the noise. I could hear every footstep from the room above and every conversation outside. Unfortunately, that lack of sound insulation made restful sleep impossible.

Lovely large room with super comfy bed. Would have preferred a true continental breakfast rather than just a couple of meh pastries delivered at 7am. Coffee was good! Love the overall decor of this property! We highly recommend!

California coastal chic gem with special amenities

This little inn in San Luis Obispo is a gem! It's been fully redecorated in a fabulous California coastal, organic modern style. The location provides easy access to the quaint downtown, Cal Poly SLO campus, and a short drive to Avila Beach. The property has thoughtful, delightful, well curated amenities, such as bikes/helmets for rides around town, fresh local coffee and pastries delivered outside your door each morning, high-end curated in-room snacks and beverages, and Aesop personal care products. Most importantly the bed was comfortable and supportive!

If you can’t do stairs too well, let them know ahead of time. We were put in a room where you have to climb a flight of stairs, with your luggage. We are seniors and my husband has mobility issues, so this wasn’t ideal.
