The grounds were nice and the location was great. However, the TV and blow dryer didn’t work, The lazy front desk person was no help. Coffee/creamer packets were outdated and spoiled. The room was “clean” but the carpet was not. Bedding smelled like vomit.

Staff was awesome and helpful. The jacuzzi didn’t work though ;(
The cooler was broken, the shower curtain was ripped, the comforter on the bed had a whole that looked like a burn mark, they did not have much for breakfast and what they said they would have they did not until asked, the room does not come with a microwave and you have to ask for it. The view was nice, the pool is a good size and it has a spa too, they have soda vending machine, the soaps and restroom accommodations are good, the staff was polite and professional.
Dave was helpful. He even gave us a list of places/restaurants that we may visit.
The room was disgusting. My kids didn't even want to use the restroom. We paid more than $250 for a night... the room was dark, so when I went up to check the room, I didn't really see the issues right away.
Don't waste your money here, or just say NO to room 311.
The parking situation was good and its a place to sleep. Unfortunately SLO is quite expensive to stay in so for the price anywhere else you'd be laughed at for paying. The room was very rough and run down, but the bed was clean and comfortable. The "breakfast" consisted of premade pastries and over brewed coffee. It wasn't bad, it's just way less than expected, like I have stayed in nicer motel 6s.
Beautiful architecture, great locale for hiking SP (starting point), hiked all three peaks from hotel. Nice stroll down to farmers market, a lot of variety nearby.

Spacious room with enough amenities for the family.
Definitely not the best hotel around but it served its purpose! I felt safe and it was clean enough for me. Only problem was the shower barely drained.
I stayed in one of their cheaper rooms. It was small and basic but totally works! HD tv worked and had a lot of channels. Bathroom was very clean. Bed was comfortable.
