Everything was perfect! Very quaint building and comfortable room. Enjoyed the breakfasts and the staff was super friendly. Loved the personal touch here that you normally don't get in big hotels.

Very cute inn. It was old, but well-maintained. The breakfast was ok, but I think it is enough. There are a few coffee shops a block away to get good coffee. The area was safe, convenient and walkable to several shops and restaurants. My only issue is that it takes a while for you to feel the hot water in the shower, it was still a great stay. I would stay there again because of the location.

For the expensive price you pay for this hotel, I would probably pick somewhere else next time. The hotel is super "cute" but the bathrooms are very old (—old bathtub). The walls are thin so you can hear neighbor's mumbling, alarm clocks ringing, outside noise, etc. There's no parking, only residential parking a few blocks away. (It's a safe area, but still.) There's no 24/7 front desk service, so during lunch break and past 8pm, guests are on their own (to lock up the actual place. We were the last guest to check in so the attendant left for the day). The arrival wine and cookies were a lovely touch, and the morning assortment was a delight (—pastries, beverages (coffee/orange juice), fruit (kiwi, grapefruit), and made to order poached eggs). The location was definitely the reason why we booked the place, as it was near the hip and happening night life of SLO (while the opposite end of the town, the hotels are much less but dead quiet). Liked it, but I don't think I'd book it again, due to the high price.

Pros: great location, cons, pretty run down, needs updating. we asked for maid service on door, never happened. New towels/cleaned room would have made a difference. Breakfast was a bit average, nothing special.

Absolutely loved this stay! It was quaint, close to everything, and homemade breakfast specials every morning! Would definitely recommend this for anyone exploring SLO for a getaway, or wanting a place that felt safe and comfortable. One block from restaurants, shops, and delicious coffee! Service was great, staff was friendly, there really were no downsides.
