The ground floor room, “The Lovers” is in an extremely awkward room set off from the main sitting room. You can hear every word said out there which means they can hear everything in your room. This is the ADA accessible room, and there is a chair lift, but it is also marketed as one of the more expensive rooms. Don’t be fooled. Also, the folks we were traveling with were offered wine, and we were not. Not sure what that was about. We could also hear the bed sqeaking in the room above us and every extremely loud flush. We’re apartment dwellers not easily cowed by the sounds of humanity, but even we were put off by this experience. You also have to park two blocks away or pay a steep price for city garage parking. Great location, but not worth it.

first of all when we went online, we were looking for a hotel, when we got there it was a bed-and-breakfast, it was a Tuesday and yet we could not check into our room till 4 o’clock because our front desk person just felt like pulling a power trip, we decided not to stay there when we found out we couldn’t even park our car on ground grounds. I have a brand new vehicle. I was not going to put it in a public lot a few blocks away, this place sucks.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. The location was good. There is no parking available so I had to pay to park in a public garage ($16.00 for overnight) or find street parking in the residential area a few blocks away.

Their breakfasts were honestly the highlight of my stay in SLO. It represented the area very well, being wholesome and worldly. Fantastic job!
Enjoying breakfast by the fireplace, reading a book on Met Operas. Menu was: poached eggs on a bed of hummus and arugula, freshly-squeezed orange juice, puff pastries of strawberry with cream cheese; lots of fresh cutup fruit
