Nice people, nice place to stay in SLO
We stayed here twice, once on the way down the coast and once on the way back up. The owners are very nice, the room was clean and comfy. Good place to stay at a good price, not fancy but we were happy.

Flawed with a few good points
The hotel was centrally located to points of interest near Morro Bay and Pismo beach. The rooms were clean but the mattress was extremely hard & uncomfortable. The room was not properly configured for easy TV viewing . Overall satisfactory standards.

1 Star Is Generous. Very Disappointed.
We were wine tasting and decided to stay in SLO since we haven't stayed there before. Awesome city, horrible Ramada. The only good thing is the location as we could walk to restaurants a few blocks away. The room was extremely loud since the walls were paper thin. The pool was a joke. The breakfast was a joke. The shower randomly went from warm, to freezing, to boiling every 3 minutes. Oh, and there was mold growing in the tub. Don't waste your time.

My stay at the Ramada Inn SLO
Hotel was neat & clean but the room did have a faint smell of mildew. Pillows were very soft. Bed was fairly comfortable. For the amount of time spent in room (very little) not too bad. Exterior & interior of hotel looks & feels more like a motel than a hotel.

The poor, The poorer and the poorest
We travel to SLO frequently to visit family. Our usual motels were booked so took a shot at this one. They had to small non fitted sheets, only two towels for three adults, cobwebs in the corners,the toilet did not work for two nights, the complimentary morning snack was pitiful and a supervisor openly shouted at the maids and threatened to fire them for doing a poor job.

Cold Water
The hotel room was clean and the heater worked fine. However, at peak shower time (8:00 am to 10:00 am) there was no hot water. I quess the water heater is a shared type and it was empty. After waiting for about a half hour I just took a cool shower. Thank goodness for the working room heater.

Shopping tip:
Short drive from hotel
The shopping required a short drive which would have been fine, but there is no exit for the hotel going north. It was a nightmare to find. Helpful hint would be to make sure you are north of olive drive before you get on the freeway that way you would go south on the freeway to get to the Santa Rosa exit.
