This was a cute hotel, clean, nice staff, great breakfast, but zero amenities. For a "4 star" hotel, I would expect a little more. The rooms were charming, but not comfortable. No where to set your phone at night, no robes in the rooms, not even a decent mirror in the bathroom. 4 stars

Its a beautiful b&b. There wasn't anyone there when i checked in. They were off property and I had to call and wait for them to arrive. That was a pain, parking is inconvenient. Other than that I'd stay again. Its a beautiful home.

This is truly a unique property. More like an old bed and breakfast vibe with lovely old rooms and old furniture and care. Don’t expect modern facilities like a big TV or fridge in room. But do expect a clean, fun and super friendly experience

Best place to stay in downtown SLO

Great atmosphere, close to everything, and a top notch staff. Parking is at a nearby city structure, and overnight parking cost me $16. Also, some of the room descriptions on hotels.com are inaccurate.
