The location was great for access to downtown SLO and the rooms are spacious. Nice amenities such as robes, slippers, water and coffee. The staff were friendly and helpful. One suggestion is to avoid room facing the pool. There’s some area not in the hotel that seems to play music most of the day and you can hear it.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional service. Perfect location in downtown to walk to everything. Loved all the little extras that made you feel taken care of like the water ready in the fridge, the nesspresso machine, couple snacks, free coffee downstairs and water refills by the ice machines. I can tell how clean a place is by how dirty my toddlers feet get from the floors and they stayed clean! Definitely will be my go to place when visiting my daughter.

Liked: Amenities
The rooms were spacious and clean and so nice. The wood floors were so appealing. The beds were very comfortable. Linens were lovely. There was sufficient lighting and these days that’s a plus, although one of of my lamps was broken. My only complaint was the sliding heavy bathroom door. Prefer a real door that opens closes and locks. On a 2 week, 4 different hotel experiences, This one was the most comfortable…. The others were 5 star ones Highly recommend the Hotel San Luis Obispo
