The best value hotel in San Luis Obispo. Very communicative and kind staff; clean room, hot shower, heater, microwave, refrigerator, coffee and walking distance from restaurants.

Brienne United States of America

Comfortable room in a good location (close to Cal Poly and easy access to downtown with lots of restaurants). Room was sizable and bed was comfy. The manager was extremely friendly and accommodating, responding quickly to text messages.

Sam United States of America

I like this place.the staff are very personable,and make you feel at home.

Carrie United States of America

You can tell the owner takes a great sense of pride in this property. Friendly, clean and convenient!

Michael United States of America

Perfect location.. walked to the downtown area. Jerry was wonderful, friendly, and helpful.

Kim United States of America

The staff, in particular, were wonderful! The sign on the door said they were closed still, yet I was welcomed in and even got to get into my room early! I had been driving for hours so was very, very happy to check in early. Later, when I realized I needed an extra blanket, another person got it for me right away. It is a small place, but very hospitable.

Jeanne United States of America

The man who checked is in was great. The price was very good. It was totally adequate and quiet. The shower was awesome. A very nice stay.

Thomas United States of America

Room was very clean with super comfortable beds on the moderately firm side, and soft linens. Great shower and AC. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Deborah United States of America

I'm always a little nervous when I see these little one off places. Because when they go wrong, they go very wrong. This may be the first time it all went RIGHT. First off the guy running the place was great. Super friendly, helpful and made a great recommendation on where to eat. Also when I got locked out of my room at night, I texted him and he came to let me in. Secondly it's a really nice room for, let's be clear, WAY less than similarly sized rooms in the area. Clean. Modern. Comfy. Frankly I wish I'd extended my stay. And it's close to all the stuff you want to see. When I come back, I'll be staying there and saving a few bucks to boot.

Riley United States of America

Staff was very welcoming. The motel is in a quite and safe neighborhood, just 5 minutes walking from the city center. The room is equipped with a fridge, microwave, coffee machine and TV. Good price/quality ratio.
