What a pleasant surprise! Had a beautiful night I. The Inn. The renovated rooms were beautiful. The location was perfect for exploring downtown SLO. The staff were so welcoming and helpful! The only downside was, in my opinion, the breakfast-a little underwhelming, but so appreciated the effort and friendliness of the staff who prepared it.

Their breakfasts were honestly the highlight of my stay in SLO. It represented the area very well, being wholesome and worldly. Fantastic job!
Enjoying breakfast by the fireplace, reading a book on Met Operas. Menu was: poached eggs on a bed of hummus and arugula, freshly-squeezed orange juice, puff pastries of strawberry with cream cheese; lots of fresh cutup fruit
