For such a nice place, this is very reasonably priced, especially for the day before Thanksgiving. It's now my go-to booking for out of town relatives! Walking distance to the beautiful SLO downtown, so especially convenient for folks who come in on a train and don't want to rent a car. Highly recommended!

It took three tries to get a working room. The first had no shower curtain or rod, but the pieces were there. Shower was coming off wall. Second room had nonstop water coming out of tub, it couldn’t be turned off and was loud and a lot. Final room had hair on bathroom counter and dirty towel under sink but by this point front desk had said if it didn’t work there was nothing else. We asked for more towels later on (room only had one) but they never arrived. It’s sad because location is decent but that’s about it.

It was the least expensive and now I know why! The room was embarrassing. I mean, how can the owner of the property, charge money for rooms that are in such poor condition? Terrible.

I was traveling in for an afternoon event and called days in advance to see if early check in was possible so I could dress in the room. Over the phone I was told it wouldn’t be an issue, and while they couldn’t guarantee in advance, that they would make a note in my reservation and if something came up, there would at least be a space on the property where I could dress and drop my bags. When I arrived and asked politely about early check in, I was treated so rudely by the front desk staff. It was frankly the rudest I’ve ever been treated by a hospitality staffer. I was not allowed to finish a sentence, and was told under no condition could I check in, get dressed, or even drop my bag. I don’t mind not being able to accommodate a request, that is merely inconvenient, but the rudeness with which I was treated was completely unacceptable.
