Check in was easy and fast. The room was clean, but too much air freshener. The room had only two bath towels, one hand towel, and one wash cloth for two people. And only one coffee cup. Breakfast was supposed to be "grab and go", but was really non-existent.

The breakfast was very sad: broken coffee machine, and a couple packages of gross muffins. Coffee machine in the room to the rescue? …. Um not….one package of whatever decaf and zero sugar or creamer and not one stir stick to be found. Towels, perhaps? Nah….two crappy small and thin thing. Shampoo but no conditioner……comfy bed? Nope. Totally could hear the springs when you toss and turn. The price was cheap and it was clean….so if your expectations are low it’s cool.

Floor was sticky and we had to ask them to mop it while we went to dinner. Room small, Blankets and linens need replacing. Desk clerk was curteous. Good location for access to university and town. I wouldn't stay there again.

Close to downtown SLO, very close to freeway entrance, some restaurants close by. Parking is decent. Property is dated. We stayed in a 3 bedroom family suite that was a converted 2 bedroom apartment. Couch had two big holes in it. Hairdryer in bathroom did not work. Beds were okay.

Very polite staff. Clean rooms and beds. The hotel is a bit old, and from the era when smoking rooms were more prominent. But it was clean. We ran the AC to cover over the smell, and the unit didn’t really love being on all night. But other than the faint smell of old smoke it was a nice stay.
