    From my experience, its gorgeous scenery BUT the transportation is antiquated, resulting in higher travel expenses because I had to Uber everywhere.... Rent a car or have alternative transportation set up if you do decide to visit SLO. Theres only two buses out there that run once an hour. And one bus on the weekends.

    Absolutely beautiful area.

    Absolutely beautiful area. Very charming downtown with a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Beaches a short drive away. Highly recommend SLO Provisions for breakfast. El Esquina for a delicious meal. Farmers Market on Thursday nights give a wonderful sense of local products, foods and services. Very easy to walk around downtown. Morro Bay is an easy 20 min away. A beautiful drive. Morro Bay is a charming beach filled with local surfers, people walking their dogs or just hanging out to soak in the waves and surrounding beauty.

    Close to downtown, shopping and restaurants to include the famous Madonna Inn. We were there to visit our student at CalPoly. Great amenities for our family. Always nice to have extra space in our room with the living room/dining area.

    Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes.

    Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes. Easy to get around. I loved how unique all the different buildings and houses were. Food was only decent, but not terrible. Good breweries, too! Very walkable. The highlight was going to the hot spring resort for their hour-use tubs.

    Beautiful place to visit.

    Beautiful place to visit. University town with a lovely walkable downtown. Lots of restaurants. Many people biking. Close to Pismo and Avila Beach, Morro Bay (and Rock) and the gorgeous central coast.Always love coming to SLO but it can be very pricey. This was a quick family visit so didn’t eat out much. Always find time for a latte at Scout coffee. If you are on a budget, check out hotel prices in advance prior to choosing dates. Inexpensive places jump to over $200 per night during certain weekends.

    We went for an early morning run up the convenient bike path into SLO. We had a great tour of the city on foot and visited the El Camino Real sites and the Mission. We ran back through the hills and had a great view of the surrounding areas. Worth returning to visit. High up on the historic trail.

    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.

    I like that the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the pool area was lit up so beautifully, the jacuzzi was amazing! The beds were very clean and comfortable. For the money we paid, I think it was so worth it. Didn’t feel like a cheap / dirty hotel. The bed sheets and blankets felt good quality. Also, we were a 6 minute drive from San Luis Obispo, and only a 15 minute drive from Pismo beach.

    The location was perfect. A 15 minute walk from the train station in the heart of Downtown. The layout of the room was great. Lots of space dedicated to the bathroom/shower/dressing area. The hotel was modern/rustic with clean lines that were pleasing to the eye. Very quiet. Good food at the in-house restaurant. Did not get a chance to use the pool but very pretty area. The gym was well equipped

    I like the central location of this hotel. It is located a few miles away from downtown San Luis Obispo, the area's wine country, and nearby cities like Pismo Beach and Avila Beach. The hotel is located near stores, supermarkets, and gas stations. The surrounding area looks safe. The staff is courteous and helpful.

    The breakfast was great. It was fully stocked when we came down. The staff was so nice, helpful, and answered all my questions. The beds were very comfortable, and the towels were the softest I've ever felt!! I was concerned about barking dogs near us and the staff tried their best to keep us away from any dogs!

    This is the best hotel of my trip. Kansas City to Newport Beach, CA then to Northern Calif. Outstanding hotel ... 5 star all the way. Walked in the room and was "blown away" at the amenities, a fire place, awesome shower, sink area was stocked up and beautiful. If your traveling you have to stay here, period.
