Clean. Noises in area adjacent to my room were jarring and started early morning. Heater/ac very loud, too. Hard to get to sleep.I didn’t request a “disability “ room, but that’s what they gave me . Maybe they thought I was deaf and would not hear all the noise?

Bummed about the pool closure

The hotel itself was clean and comfortable and staff interactions, though limited were helpful. We chose this hotel based on the fact that it "had an indoor pool". However after we checked in we learned that the pool was closed. If we hadn't already checked in we might have gone to a different hotel. Instead of a fun afternoon in the pool, we had to scramble to find alternative family friendly activities

Comfortable and convenient

The room was comfortable and unremarkable. We slept well, the AC was great, no strange smells. The room fridge didn't get cold enough, so ended up using our Igloo and the ice machine; the pool was closed for renovation which was a bummer when traveling with kids. The highlight was the breakfast with the waffle maker and toppings. The eggs, sausage, potatoes and is the heat and serve types sold to hospitals/hotels. We didn't mind and the kids looked forward to it. They subtly changed the menu each day e.g. omelette, scramble, patty sausage, sweet portugese, which was unexpectedly fun.

Great clean hotel. Only issue we experienced was the shower drain wasn’t draining very well. When I tried to call the front desk, the phone didn’t have a phone cord attached. I called using my cell phone and spoke to someone at the front desk who at least tried to remedy the drain issue.

The hotel is conveniently located near US-101 and it took us less than 10 minutes to get to downtown San Luis Obispo. The room was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was surprisingly good with waffle machines and great coffee. Free parking was nice too as some hotels in the area charge for parking.

Just Awful

Not thrilled with a few things. We always book pool hotels so to find out it is out of commission and has been for a long, long time is incredibly disappointing, as it wasn't stated when booking. Our AC doesn't work properly. Have to set it to 60 to come on at night to cool off the stuffy room. There is a 5 inch crack in the bathtub which creaks when you're standing in it. I wonder what damp mold is underneath it. The bathroom feels dirty. The breakfast is the worst I've ever experienced at any hotel I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. Stuff that was out wasn't refilled fast enough and the area felt dirty. The food itself, can only be described as sad. Charging $5 each for a bottle of soda and water is extortionate. Our first Hampton inn experience, and our last. 0/5 if I could, but staff was good and none of the above appeared to be their fault. How on earth they have a 8.8/10 is beyond me. They must be paying for good reviews.
