Staff was rude, you really have to read the fine print about the deposit. Was looking for a place last minute to I didn’t get time to read everything And the front desk guy was unnecessarily sassy about my confusion. Unknown stains on the floor, bed, and walls. Just felt gross being in the room overall.

The parking situation was good and its a place to sleep. Unfortunately SLO is quite expensive to stay in so for the price anywhere else you'd be laughed at for paying. The room was very rough and run down, but the bed was clean and comfortable. The "breakfast" consisted of premade pastries and over brewed coffee. It wasn't bad, it's just way less than expected, like I have stayed in nicer motel 6s.

Bedding cover was most definitely not replaced with clean ones before our stay. We never leave them on the bed but still was noticeable. The room was pretty warm the entire night even with the wall unit "AC" ON "HIGHT COOL" as labeled. The hot tub was out of service, the gate to the pool area lock wasn't working right. We had to reach over to open the door. Big breakfast room but no real breakfast, just some pre packaged Danishes and muffins. Only water and coffee. Parking was easy and well lit.
