8/10 Good

Very conveniently located. Within walking distance of downtown. Only downside: nearby gas station was sometimes noisy.
Alan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice place in SLO. The check in was easy and the owner of the hotel was very nice and helpful. Our 2 night stay was comfortable and the place is clean. The only potential issue is a lack of parking if returning late from a night out. I have stayed here before, will stay here again, and recommend it as a SLO lodging option.
Robert, 2-night trip

The front desk staff was very helpful in providing highlights of downtown SLO and we liked that the hotel was within walking distance from all the restaurants and stores. It was also a safe neighborhood to walk around.
