My husband and I stayed there for about 4 nights. We were informed that if we stayed more than 4 nights housekeeping would have to come into our room. The day after we checked in I went to the front desk and told the guy that I did not want housekeeping to come I to our room. The guy told me if I didn't let housekeeping come into our room we would have to find another place to stay at. I was forced to put the majority of our stuff back into our car because I didn't was to risk something going missing.

I would NEVER recommend anyone to this hotel. Don’t waste your money!! First of all there was a dead cockroach on the bathroom floor. I know things happen so I didn’t say anything. Then the neighbors were so loud. I’m reasonable but at 2 am when I have to be up at 6 am… they kept slamming the door, people were partying, music so loud. I had to call several times to the front desk as I had to be up. The front desk acted so annoyed that he had to do his job. After the 3rd call he had me change my room. I was given a room with no heater (see attached pictures) and also a dirty bathroom. Just disgusting. I dealt with it because I was so tired. Front desk is no help as the few days I stayed my key never worked. Again, he acted annoyed and asked if I was using it properly.?!! I’m very understanding but this place is a very unprofessional and an unclean establishment. I was warned by other travelers at the hospital to not stay here and I should have listened. Think twice before you book your stay!

The staff was great. They need to buy a new luggage cart, the other one is falling apart. It was very difficult to maneuver once you get your luggage on. Otherwise had a nice stay.

For such a nice place, this is very reasonably priced, especially for the day before Thanksgiving. It's now my go-to booking for out of town relatives! Walking distance to the beautiful SLO downtown, so especially convenient for folks who come in on a train and don't want to rent a car. Highly recommended!

It took three tries to get a working room. The first had no shower curtain or rod, but the pieces were there. Shower was coming off wall. Second room had nonstop water coming out of tub, it couldn’t be turned off and was loud and a lot. Final room had hair on bathroom counter and dirty towel under sink but by this point front desk had said if it didn’t work there was nothing else. We asked for more towels later on (room only had one) but they never arrived. It’s sad because location is decent but that’s about it.

It was the least expensive and now I know why! The room was embarrassing. I mean, how can the owner of the property, charge money for rooms that are in such poor condition? Terrible.
