Affordable motel near CalPoly, downtown SLO and 101 run by nice people. Finishes are dated and a little worn, but the place is clean and the price is right. Fridge and microwave in the room were helpful, and the AC works great!

I was pleasantly surprised after reading the reviews! It's definitely a more "lived in" property with some dust in places, but the beds & sheets were clean and very comfortable--lots of pillows--the shower had really hot water and great water pressure, and the towels were pristine white and fluffy--everything I needed!! For check-in and when I forgot my room card in my room--the front desk guy was fantastic and super friendly. Considering how much actual time I spent in my room it was great and I would stay here again. :) (Also, if you have a student at CalPoly, the location is awesome!)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Ok first off. The room was awesome and good. The shower was good 👍. Carpet was clean, the refrigerator was near the door,but the only i got charged was a pet fee, after I told the front desk that I had a service animal and I got charged $57.38 , and on the the app it said that service animals were exempt from fee's, and I still had to pay..I like the place.but maybe change the service animal on the app saying service animals will be charged, but I will stay there again for another 2 days and give it another try, RESPECT 🙏.
