Downtown SLO Inn - San Luis Obispo
Didn’t feel clean, bed was not comfortable, and the shower leaked water all over the bathroom. SLO needs more cheap hotel options so I want this place to succeed, but they’ve gotta put some care into it

Edgewater Inn And Suites
Pillows weren’t comfortable in the slightest. Bed was ok. Noise at times from others due to super thin walls did disturb my sleep. Loved being close the beach. Loved being walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Madonna Inn
The most eclectic place I have ever stayed. Parts of the property could use a refresh, but the energy and excitement of the guests and staff more than made up for that. Pool was very nice as was the walking trails and proximity to SLO Main Street.
