I had a fantastic stay at La Cuesta Inn. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making for a truly relaxing experience. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right.
One of the highlights was the included breakfast, which was a great way to start the day. It was fresh, satisfying, and added to the overall value of the stay.
If you're looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay, I highly recommend La Cuesta Inn!

Room was clean and nice. Unfortunately, kids ( baseball teams) were allowed to run in the halls , talking loudly and playing at ice machine ( by my room). Calls to front desk did not help.

room was a bit on the small side. pillows were too thin to be comfortable. they didn't charge me for the pet stay so that was good.

The hotel is fine for a couple of nights’ stay. The decor looks a bit tired but our room was clean. Breakfast was basic; there were some hot items (bacon, sausage, fake eggs). Overall, just OK, which was what we expected. Busy weekend in SLO so the room price was a bit high for the value. Depending upon which way your room faces, be prepared for some freeway noise.
