5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

This Courtyard has larger rooms, microwave and refrigerator, and a full service restaurant and bar. I hope Marriott allows them to keep it. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and appear to be newly renovated. A very good experience and one of the better run Courtyards.

I recently stayed there 4 nights on business. Good location as it's right next to 101 and the backdrop of the hotel are the large hills behind it. The rooms are solid, the staff is very nice. The waitress that served me Thursday night was particularly great. The room layout was to my liking, as it was slightly different than... More

Beautiful setting & spotless inside and out. Located on the outskirts of San Luis Obispo, this is the best hotel to happen to this city in a long time. (For years there were just a bunch of crummy little motels there.) Situated in green, peaceful surroundings. Every staff member we encountered was helpful, efficient, and pleasant. Room was nice, but... More

I have stayed at the location twice and enjoyed both times. My comments here are a blend of both trips. A benefit of the Courtyard brand is consistency in style and amenities.
