7.1
Good
Kathleen, Sep 2019
Pros (+) I liked that there was room enough in the beds for four people, And that the bathroom looked fairly newly remodeled, and I liked having the refrigerator and microwave. Free parking was great, and the flowers around the building were very pretty.
Cons (-) The room is for four people, and there was only one chair for the table. I’m glad the room was no smoking, but other guests were smoking feet away from their room doors, so I wasn’t comfortable opening the window for fresh air. It would be nice if there was a designated smoking area, far from the motel room windows.

Mediocre
Anonymous, Oct 2016
Pros (+) It was cheap and located close to the college and downtown San Luis Obispo.
Cons (-) It needs some TLC, missing light bulbs, slightly torn curtain, bathtub tiling done very poorly.

Very good
karli, Aug 2016
Pros (+) It was within walking distant of downtown in a safe area with a gorgeous view of the mountains. For the price we paid I wasn't expecting much, but was very pleased to get a clean room, free wifi and breakfast in the morning! That's more than some nicer hotels I've stayed in. Highly recommend staying here if you're not looking for a luxury experience, just quiet, clean rooms.
