I recently found a great spot near the freeway that's super convenient! 🛣️ The best part is how friendly the staff is; they always make me feel welcome. Plus, it's located so close to downtown SLO, making it easy to pop in and out.
Great place to stay. Not far from Morro Bay. Clean and comfortable with easy access just off the 101 freeway and charming downtown San Luis Obispo. Great value!
The rooms were clean, the pool was clean, the front desk guy was very friendly while checking me in. I thought it was a pretty good experience all the way around for what we paid. We'll probably only be staying here from now on when vacationing on the coast.
We chose this place on a whim. Nice cozy hotel. We walked to dinner and it was quiet.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The location if the hotel is very close to the university which makes it very convenient. The hotel is not fancy, but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast has very limited options that aren't very healthy. The parking is very tight.
Logan at the front desk set the tone for a lovely stay. Great to know that a few rooms have kitchenettes (I was in 301 with one). Hot tub was nice and pool area is well kept. Decor is a bit dated but spotlessly clean. Thanks for a wonderful stay
Super sweet staff and the grounds are beautiful! There's a quaint little courtyard I would've loved to enjoy if our soccer game wasn't so early the next morning. That just means we'll have to come back again!
We loved the location of this property! Short drive to the downtown area and easy access to the freeway. The staff was very friendly during our stay. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable! Would definitely stay here again.
