He was really chill about me arriving to my check in late and when accidentally locking my key in my room. Both occasions were around 1am. The room was really nice, and clean I had a microwave, a fridge and a blow drier, and a Roku tv. I’ll be staying there again.

The rooms need some TLC with cleaning of furnace, fans and vents. The area is a little hard to exit with traffic coming and going from The freeway.

Convenience location but was surprised to have my unit painted (exterior) during my stay. That is not something you spring on some last min. Otherwise you get what you pay for.

Well priced near downtown SLO

It was the cheapest place I could find around San Luis Obispo making a last minute booking on a Friday night. I needed a place crash and it served my needs. No frills, but everything was adequate.

Think Motel 6. It’s clean, simple, no thrill or frills. No trashcan in the room. Bring your own toiletries. I would stay there on a pinch.

I booked this place because it was affordable and it seemed like it had good reviews, but after an hour and a half of being there, being showered, and relaxing in bed, I started getting bites on my stomach and my side, so I left immediately.
