Well-appointed, economical, family-run motel
Well-managed, clean and economical option in San Luis Obispo. Jerry, who is the manager (owner?), takes pride in offering a great space. It is a small motel and offers easy parking, some rooms have nice views of the surrounding hills, as well as in-room refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine which is very convenient. While rooms are not new, my room was spacious for 1-2 people and had a desk etc. The bathroom was clean and the water was hot. They do housekeeping every day. It's located right by several food options and what seemed to be a brewery/beer garden. Note that this motel is right on a very busy road (seems to be leading to a 101 ramp), so you will hear quite a bit of traffic noise though the windows seemed to be double paned. I'd recommend a white noise machine / app.

Id stay here again...
My stay here was good, but its the smallest room I've ever had. Haha It was clean and smelled fresh. The bed was comfortable. There were a couple of snts scouting around the bathroom, but not enough to be a problem. My main critism was my view. There was a building blocking sny hope of a view
My view...
