Thankfully the staff was courteous and made my stay bearable however, the beds were hard, lumpy in some area of a queen size mattress. So uncomfortable I had to extend my stay in San Luis Obispo and deliberately chose to stay elsewhere. Again, it was nice interaction with the staff, professional and courteous thank you.
