We arrived after a long drive through the Big Sur. I used the around-me app on my iPhone and stumbled upon this motel. A lovely inn with bright orange colors. What a warm and welcoming place! The gentleman who greeted us was very nice, and the room was just perfect! Nice, very clean, simple, with everything one would need. After... More

If you're looking for a clean, simple, inexpensive motel that is close to downtown San Luis Obispo then that's exactly what you'll get here. You can't expect too much for such an inexpensive place in such a great location. The receptionist was friendly and professional and check in was very quick and efficient. The room was simple, old decor, but... More

I checked in shortly before 1:30 pm after an invigorating walking to the location from the train station. No pleasantries ... front desk staff person just gave me my key to the room (upstairs) , verified my ID, and swiped my credit card per the stated cost when I booked the room online. That mechanical welcome was just a bit... More

The location is great with a 5 minute walk into SLO. Car parking can get a bit crowded, especially given the size of American vehicles, but it was never too much of a problem. The room was basic with a springy bed, a shower that was surprisingly good given its appearance, and an old 14" CRT TV completed the look.... More

Basic motel with clean rooms. However when we stayed and the temperature was topping 100F, the air conditioning had broken. Not good. More

I reserved a two-bed room using my credit card only to find the husband/wife who run the motel had given my room away to someone else, even though we arrived at the time I had said we would. After arguing that we needed two beds because a child was with us, they finally relented, gave us the room we had... More

We paid 50$ plus tax for one night. The place is quiet, front desk polite, room is not big and with new forniture but I can say it was clean and pretty comfortable. Internet wifi was quite ok, little slow. Bathroom was small, the shower old but working and clean. I guess for 50 bucks the room was fair More

I booked this room based on reviews that indicated this was a no frills, but clean, motel in downtown SLO. Pictures posted show decent looking, updated decor. Well they definitely weren't pictures of the room we stayed in. It looked like it had not been updated in at least 20 years. The curtains were literally shredded and black (they were... More

We stayed in SLO on the night of the Thursday farmers market (well worth going to if you're near the area on a Thursday).The hotel itself is about a 5 minute walk away from the main downtown area on a safe street, with lots of cafes and little antique shops (most of which are open from 10-6). The manager was... More

The hotel had the best rates for the weekend. The location was wonderful. To me and my family staying in a hotel 24/7 is miserable so it was nice to know that we could park our car in the parking lot and walk a min to the trolley stop. It saved us even more money being able to not pay... More
