Quick stop in-between San Francisco and Los Angele
It was fine, just remember it has no elevator so you need to carry your luggage up the exterior stairs.

What a great little hotel! It’s centrally located, just a 5 minute walk to downtown SLO where there’s tons of cute shops and great restaurants. Our room was clean, comfy and very quiet and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be staying here again when I return to SLO!

This is a great value in SLO with comfy beds. Nothing fancy, but if you just need a great bed in a quiet motel, a walkable into town, this is a great choice. Save you cash for going out!
