Beautifully updated older property, Very quiet. Convenient location close to Cal Poly, Free parking which is nearly unheard of in San Luis Obispo where nearly everything costs. Even street parking downtown is 24/7 and costs over $3.00/hr. I'll be SOOO glad when our granddaughter graduates and we no longer will have any reason to go back to what I think is the ripoff capital of California!

The room was very clean and the check-in staff were friendly. Breakfast included an automated pancake maker machine that produced small but tasty pancakes without the chef. I arrived late so I don’t know about the other amenities. I just needed a good night’s sleep and the hotel definitely provided that.
