    Great stay at a lovely hotel in a great location.

    There was no breakfast on site. Getting to the car park is through a very tight passage way which is not obvious when first arriving at the hotel.

    The location of the hotel is great. The hotel also had lovely decor and the rooms were very comfortable.

    Nothing

    The staff was very friendly and helpful and the experience was very personal. The property is very speakeasy vibe kinda spooky and dark but also really nice bright outside areas and so cool! Very vintage! Close to downtown and walking distance to shopping, eating and farmers market. Communication was very good ahead of our stay to plan ahead. The restaurant on site is so good! The tritip and ice cream were the best I’ve had!

    Great vibe, beautifully appointed, small and a bit noisy.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Queen Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room is very small with almost no room for luggage. There are so many "things to purchase" on the desk that there is almost no room to use on the desk. Falling asleep at night was tricky because there were constant intermittent low vibrations in the room from what I assume is other guests turning their water on/off or turning their AC on/off in their rooms.

    This hotel captures the vibe of SLO. Interior design is on point. Included breakfast (croissants, yoghurt, fruit, tea, coffee, orange juice) was high quality. Our room was beautifully decorated. Bed was very comfortable. Parking is free and easily accessible. Front desk responsive.

    Breakfast consists of coffee and croissant, yogurt, and bananas, and the coffee was lukewarm.

    Comfortable beds, cozy atmosphere, welcomed with a glass of wine.

    Vintage, artsy hotel, good location and excellent amenities
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Queen Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room was quite small, with not a lot of space for our luggage at all. Was 'upgraded' room but not really sure what that meant - they gave us a shared patio space? But the weather was awful so we never used it and they put us right on top of the cocktail bar which played music until 11pm+. Should definitely inform guests that this will happen beforehand. Got a text that the front desk would close at 11 but music was still going on at 11:15 so had no idea what to do. No earplugs provided upon arrival, but after complaining about the music the next day, they gave them to us. It isn't terrible, but I'm pregnant, so free cocktails after to make up for it doesn't help. Guests shouldn't have to go to the bar and ask them when they will close.

    The hotel itself has retro European vibes. Decorations are a nice vintage aesthetic. Welcome drinks provided (need an alternative to alcohol though please). Rooms were nice and clean enough. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast provided (a rarity in the USA, so a very welcome touch!) Restaurant is delightful and food is excellent. Bar seemed nice too (I can't drink right now so didn't try it). Parking space provided. The soaps provided smell amazing - likely to order!

    For the price it operates more like an “Inn” than a hotel.

    The rooms are quite small, and the bathroom shower is Integrated into the bed area with no privacy. The suggestion is to make frosted glass (chic and elegant) instead of fully transparent glass. They have no concierge after 11 pm and leaving the back stairwell to the parking area open does not give the best safe feeling for guests.

    Cleanliness and friendly staff. Nice welcome by Cassandra, clearly informing us about the hotel rules and welcoming us with a nice glass of local rose wine. After we checked out, One person in our family left the computer cables and phone cables at the hotel, and they kindly called us after we checked out to arrange the best way to ship our stuff. The bistro is cute, with a nice bar.

    Horrible parking!! Awful tight driveway to get down. We had an awful chemical smell in our room. We had to sleep with a door open that goes to a shared balcony. The smell was so bad! Also the room was right over the hotel bar. It was loud until bar closed. I’ve stayed here before and it wasn’t like this. Wouldn’t go back based on recent trip.

    Great location. Cool decor.

    If you're not a couple the shower door open to the room could be more exposure than you want with your room mate

    The hotel was full of historic decor. The indoor common area and rooftop patio were great spaces for hanging out.

    Wish they had king-sized beds, but that is to be expected at an inn.

    You cannot beat the location if you want to be right in the heart of downtown SLO. This inn is very charming. The bar is great (although we never ate in the restaurant). Bikes are available to cruise around the city, which is a nice bonus.

    The parking was small and tight, we did not find a space at the time of our check in. The room was also very small, we hardly found room to put our two suitcases.

    The location was perfect! Walking distance from town and we happened to be there on a Thursday for the Farmer's Market which made the location even better for that!
