RESTLESS NIGHT
ROOM WINDOW IS SO THIN. YOU COULD HERE PEOPLE OUT SIDE TALKING AS IF THEY WERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT OF THERE ROOMS IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT TALKING, SO UNABLE TO GET A FULL NIGHT SLEEP. BED LINEN HAD A SMELL TO IT. ALSO BATHROOM TOWELS WERE SO OLD, INSTEAD OF BEING WHITE THEY WERE A BROWNISH COLOR. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO SLEEP THERE. A WASTE OF MONEY

We were looking for a discounted hotel for one night in SLO. Super 8 was a good price for the location on Monterey. Not the most pleasant hotel expperience because the lights in our room didnt work in the vanity and the towels were kinda old and crusty. The room did come with a microwave and refridgerator which was nice and we didnt spend much time in the room anyway.

pit stop
fine
We pre-booked for Cal Poly open house weekend which had every room in SLO booked. Got in at at 1a.m. three parking spaces left and six people yet to arrive. Desk clerk was pleasant. Room basic, clean and comfortable. Quiet until about six a.m. when guests too stupid to consider others sleeping in til 7:30 started to leave, calling to parking lot from rooms, etc.

You might do better
My expectations are pretty low. I am not a high-maintenance type of traveler. I also realize this is a Super 8, pretty far down on the food chain. Here's the problems: Sink drain clogged, cold-cold shower, and the non-smoking room was anything but. My advice is if you can find another motel for 10-20 bucks more it will be well worth it.

Come hungry, there are plenty of great places to eat. And while you're waiting for your meal be sure to grab a copy of New Times, SLO's weekly. Solid writing, good stories.

great for the money
simple but clean- good value, great location. Front desk is very friendly. Breakfast was too simple- juice, apples, pastries and 2 dry cereals but coffee was good and hot!

Never Again...
The staff was great! Very Friendly!!! But I had to change my room when my neighbor's dog would NOT stop barking! I have a 17 month old, so I moved downstairs. I ended up listening to parties all night long (both nights)... the cops were called and it was horrible! The parking is SO BAD!!! The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and spacious, but I will never stay there again! You can hear everything!!!! And parking there is impossible!
