The San Luis Inn would have gotten 5 stars, except the office was closed at 8:30 PM, and when I called the number posted on the door, I got a recording. It was about 15 minutes before I got called back. I had a reservation.

The smell of whatever they use to clean with is truly nauseating. I felt I’ll by morning. You can’t escape the smell. The beds were beyond uncomfortable. If they weren’t the ONLY motel in town they would NOT be in business.

Disliked: Amenities
The room is fine. The bed was comfortable. Everything was really quiet. The two things I did not like were (1) the hours are very limited, and you must check in during the day; and (2) the rooms were fairly overpriced. If I were not in the are for business (construction) purposes, I would have stayed elsewhere.

Not sure what’s going on with employee help for the front desk/checkin, but the person is only there for a certain hours for you to check in so there is no night desk and that’s not made clear and I witnessed people who came in late having to have to sleep in their vehicles because no one was there to check them in. They need to make it clear that check in time is specific to what their employee can show up and if you’re outside of that, you’ll have to wait otherwise the property is clean and tidy. I only gave a staff rating of one star because of the situation. Otherwise everyone I did meet that work there was very friendly.

The beds felt uneven. The foot of my wife's bed was lower than the head. My bed was not level from one side to the other. Other than that, the property was very clean and we were made very welcomed by the staff. If you have special diet needs such as diabetic needs, you wouldbe better served by bringing your own breakfast supplies.
