The property has 3 buildings, with elevators available in the main building. This was helpful aa we were bicycle touring. There was a cute covered patio area outside the main building, but it was hard to enjoy as it seemed dirty and the trash bins were full.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was very clean and totally acceptable and the bed comfortable. I’d have rated both cleanliness and overall experience higher if only the very dirty carpeting in the hallways weren’t in such dire need of replacement. A short, walk to downtown and lots of eating establishments. Nice, helpful college kid at the front desk and a rather cool small aquarium in the lobby.

For such a nice place, this is very reasonably priced, especially for the day before Thanksgiving. It's now my go-to booking for out of town relatives! Walking distance to the beautiful SLO downtown, so especially convenient for folks who come in on a train and don't want to rent a car. Highly recommended!
