I see why the reviews are so good. It's an excellent value. The place was clean, quiet, and felt safe. The room looked like it had been recently remodeled. There is ample free parking. Three coffee spots are within a 3-6 minute walk. Plus, it's an easy walk, approx. 8-10 minutes to downtown restaurants.

Very nice place in SLO. The check in was easy and the owner of the hotel was very nice and helpful. Our 2 night stay was comfortable and the place is clean. The only potential issue is a lack of parking if returning late from a night out. I have stayed here before, will stay here again, and recommend it as a SLO lodging option.

I loved walking in and see that there were two beds but each one had their own space. It actually felt like a two bedroom. I would definitely stay at this location again!
