Surprisingly perfect

It was a prefect experience, I can't find any fault during our stay. The location is easy to get to yet very quiet. Parking is plentiful even at late night. Walkable distance to some of the very nice restaurants around. The free breakfast is lovely, better than even some of the hotel we stayed. The room is beautiful, there's honestly nothing we don't like during our stay and we enjoyed this inn more than what we expected.

Positive aspects: Staff are kind and parking is easy. Location is convenient walk to the school and short drive everywhere else. Windows open. Room for improvement: Beds need new and more pillows, they are square, uncomfortable and few per bed. Air conditioning is noisy. Coffee in the room is Folger’s. Breakfast is minimal.

Centered between downtown and the university which made it walkable to both. The fact that it is right off the highway also adds to the convenience.

Breakfast was just bread

I wanted to love this hotel. The photos are amazing. The bathroom was big. The closet in the bathroom, if you’re wondering. However, the breakfast was severely lacking. Pretty much false advertising if you’re judging by the photo of the breakfast spread here. We stayed over spring break as we were touring universities (CalPoly SLO is walking distance). We had stayed in a La Quinta in San Diego before arriving at SLO. The room at this hotel was more than what we paid in San Diego. At La Quinta, we had scrambled eggs, grilled meat, toast, etc. at this hotel, all they had to offer was bread in a bin that didn’t have tongs. Coffee in another room. No yogurt or cereal. No eggs. We couldn’t believe it. This “upscale” Best Western only had bread and packaged oats. I’m not sure if food selection is less in the summer months but if you’re expecting breakfast like in the photo here, call ahead before you make your reservation.
