Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving.

    Next door to Madonna Inn so we walked, hiked w dog throughout beautiful property. Great walk/bike path w views of lush grassland, trees & farm animals. My son loved Denny's next door w 10% off for motel guests. We didn't swim but pool & jacuzzi looked inviting & others were having great time. Cleaning staff were friendly w warm smiles. Madonna Inn Cafe was not as expensive as I thought & walking distance from motel

    Friendly staff. Well-managed motel near Mission & town center. On Thursday nite, motel staff directed us to Downtown SLO Farmers' Market.. fun! Next day, enjoyed walking up nearby Cerro SLO to the 'M'. Then came down to hang out in beautiful Mission park and visit excellent SLO Railroad Museum near the tracks.

    Room was decent and clean. We have stayed here before in the main building. This time we were booked for one of the motel rooms located on the grounds of the property. I didn’t know we would not be in the main building. The room is smaller and the sink is located in the bedroom area and not inside of the bathroom. Heater was very loud.

    The room was clean, the staff are very nice and accommodating, the motel is right off the freeway so easy to access but not noisy. There is a swimming pool but not heated. Pet friendly so lots of nice dogs running around and green places for them to do their business.

    The fairly compact room was clean, tidy and easy to navigate, with an included table by the window that came in very handy. Shower looked recently remodeled, with nice hot water and decent pressure. Bed and pillows were more comfortable than expected for a motel-style property. The room included a microwave and fridge, and there was plenty of free parking in lot. Also, very good location right off freeway and close to downtown shopping.

    For what looks like a standard motel, this place has little touches that punch above its weight. Friendly staff, good breakfast including good coffee, cute outdoor seating areas (chairs on balcony outside breakfast room, Adirondack under a tree, might even be some by the creek), local newspapers. We were able to walk Downtown (maybe 15-20 minutes), though there are also some nice restaurants just down the block.
