Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Allegretto Vineyard Resort Paso Robles

10/10 Excellent

"Mid week one day getaway. Great place to stay."

Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo

8/10 Good

"This was such a great property! The room was clean and spacious, and all of the staff we dealt with were super helpful. The people in the room next to us were a bit loud and constantly coming and going, slamming their door. This is obviously no fault of the hotel or the staff, but it was a little annoying. The social hour was so neat, we really liked that! The breakfast could use a wider selection of options, but the food that was offered was delicious! Literally, the best hotel stay I've had in many many years. I will definitely be returning!"

Cottage Inn By The Sea

8/10 Good

"Good online deal for room. Upstairs room near street so could hear road noise and not waves. Walk thru nextdoor hotel primanade to 70 stairs to beach. Wonderful views of pacific ocean from clean and ample chairs. Gas fireplaces scattered near office and overlooking ocean. Friendly staff. Room large with amenities as described by hotel. Room cleaned only on request (we stayed 2 nites). Can pickup free cofee pods, cocoa packets and tea bags in lobby. Air conditioner cooled Room but as others mentioned it can be a bit loud but only if on full speed. Otherwise all good. Heat provided by gas fireplace. It heated Room fast and looked great. Toiletries in shower smelled nice and worked well to wash off sea and sand. Perfect parking near rooms. Pool towels in Room- convenient! Hot tub is hot and protected from wind with full coast view. Can walk down beach stairs to pier just a mile away on huge beach. Would stay again."
