Quick, Easy, and Comfortable Stay! Check-in was a breeze and the staff was super friendly. The room looked newly renovated—very clean and modern. It had everything we needed: a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, TV with streaming options, and reliable WiFi. Plenty of parking available. The location was perfect—just 5 minutes to Cal Poly and a few minutes to downtown. Great value for the price. No complaints at all—would definitely stay here again!

Great place to crash after spending the day exploring the surrounding areas. They’re currently updating the rooms so it’ll be nice to see how they look. Clean rooms, nice staff, and it was really quiet the three nights that we were there. The only downside was we got in late Friday night and there was no parking, we had to park across the street.

Updated and very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I was unable to get a ground floor room, so I stayed with my dog on the third floor, no elevator. She didn't like the open stairs. The bed was too firm for my taste, but all in a pleasant stay. Very quiet.

The property is in midst of remodeling rooms so slight inconvenience in parking as some spots taken with construction needs. But despite that the inn is very nice and quiet and a great location in SLO. I stayed in one of the remodeled rooms, its so nice! Super clean, modern and updated, and the staff is kind. I would definitely stay here again.
