The Wayfarer San Luis Obispo, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"So clean"

Apple Farm

Apple Farm

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for a business trip. Thought I found a really good deal when compared to other hotels in the area. The day before my stay I received a message about the difference in their “deluxe rooms” and their Trellis Court, aka “economy rooms”. Honestly the room was fine, even had a nice private patio which I wasn’t expecting. Just thought it was interesting that they sent the info on the room differences right before checking in. Everyone gets a cookie, cider/coffee/tea. Trellis is a noisier location (closer to road and freeway), but if you’re just there to sleep, it’s totally fine. Pool and hot tub are on the smaller size, pictures are a little misleading, but that’s not uncommon! Location works to walk into downtown too, about 15 minutes."

University Inn

"The managers, a husband-wife team, were excellent--very helpful. The building itself, however, needs some renovation. Staff was excellent. Also, excellent coffee provided by the managers, however the continental breakfast could be improved by offering bakery-quality pastries."

"Me and the Mrs. had a great time in SLO and The Courtyard was a big part of it! The property is well maintained, clean, and has a great staff that were helpful and nice. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Our stay was in mid October and rain was on the way but we had the pool/hot tub to ourselves!!!.... Also the property is a block or two away from 101 and made it convenient to go to our day trips and dinner at night. The two things that irked me a little was the $15 a night for parking and when we checked in they said coffee and breakfast was available from Starbucks in the morning. We found out you DO have to pay for that... That said, I will definitely go back to The Courtyard when I'm staying in the area."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Luis Obispo

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Luis Obispo

8/10 Good

"Charging for parking in a mall parking lot that's not even secure to the facility is a bit of a rip-off. Also the shower was a bit wonky and only flowed with a trickle. The tub was very slow draining. The staff was amazing polite on the spot and very helpful."
