The shower curtain should either be longer or the rod it hangs on be lowered to prevent water spilling out of the drain pan.

The manager, Nick, is a very nice guy who was super accommodating when we had a problem with our TV. This is one of the nicer budget downtown hotels in SLO. Close to everything, clean, and reasonably updated. I would stay here again.

Clean. Pleasantly surprised they had housekeeping to clean my room. Bathroom door wouldn’t close because shower curtain rod was in the way. Wish I could disable the bathroom motion sensor which turns on the light when I enter. Road noise being so close to 101 entrance.

When I checked in the guy that helped me was trying to say I only booked the room for one person even though i showed him I booked it for two people. He tried to make me pay more but I refused to pay more when I booked it for two people the first place and he all of sudden said he’ll let two people stay.

Photos on website DO NOT represent this location. Do not stay at this place. Roaches in the bathroom and the bed. Ice maker is disgusting and the grounds are not cared for and the strange guests that appear to be living in the rooms were doing some strange things.
