The Inn at San Luis Obispo Stay

The most comfortable beds I've slept in at a hotel since Singapore. Very nice. The AC is under the sink and it hits the edge of the valence, so it doesn't cool the room and the cooled air never leaves the area under the sink. That needs to be fixed. Luckily, the temps were only in the mid 70°s and we had the windows open, so it was very nice, but on a hot day that's not gonna cut it. Otherwise it was quiet during the day and evening and there are plenty of places near by to grab some food. Overall, very nice experience. I'm staying there again in a couple of days as I have to see my son again in San Luis Obispo.

This was a great budget friendly place to stay in SLO, it is clean and simple. It is a bit outdated but there's no harm in that especially for the price you pay. I would definitely stay here again.

The bed was comfortable but the room had not been cleaned well prior to my late night check in. There was a rotten salad in the trash can and a drop of what looked like salsa dried on the top of the duvet cover. Holes in the drapes and mildew lined shower. At least the trash was emptied by the time I returned to my room on the evening of the next day. This is what $185/night gets you in SLO during graduation week:(

The photos did not match the actual conditions. After about an hour I realized I could not sleep there, so I booked a room at a nearby hotel and turned in my key. All the manager had to offer was “no refunds” and when I notified him that the photos did not portray the actual conditions, he just stated that I “have a problem”. The conditions: The cheap white faux wood flooring and stark lighting made the entire room feel like a bathroom, except near the door where it was black from tracked in dirt. The shower floor looked moldy. The curtains wouldn’t close entirely and were home to several spiders. The clothes rod still had its Home Depot SKU sticker on it. I would have rather slept in my car than sleep here.

We've stayed there five nights in two weeks because work was being done on our home the pool is amazing but in the bathroom is window three ft by two ft that doesn't lock it opens wide enough for an adult to climb in the shower is one of this kits made of fiberglass the floor price is in wrong the drain is two inches high so you stand in two inches of water because it doesn't drain and in the shower cubicle ceiling is a square manhole that isn't closed properly and the ceiling light isn't flush so live wires are exposed to water the tv remote doesn't work you literally have to get out of bed and almost strike yoga poses for it to work we love the pool but we won't be back

Can't think of one negative to say,only positives!

Clean. Quiet. Felt safe. Managers are on site, and professional. Well maintained swimming pool and jacuzzi. Hard wood flooring in the room gave it a clean, spacious feel. This hotel is an older motel, but has been updated with modern amenities such as flat screen t.v., built in charging port at lamp area, and backlit bathroom mirror with mirror defogger. Our room smelled fresh. Nice linens. Good pillows. You can tell they try to keep things clean, I even saw a maintenance man cleaning the parking lot and upstairs walk way area. Even though it is an older hotel, the price was right and we chose to stay here over the higher-priced, newer hotel next door. Would absolutely stay here again.
