The hotel offers clean and comfy rooms, though slightly overpriced, and a breakfast area that lacks charm. The service is customer-oriented and responsive. The location is perfect for exploring downtown, and the dining experience, while somewhat uninspired, is understandable due to current restrictions.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms had a cozy, homely vibe, even though they were a bit small for two people. I wished there were more lights in the room, but overall, it was spacious and attractive. The service was exceptional; the staff was so congenial, efficient, and knowledgeable about the local area. They took excellent care of my group and offered valuable tips for our trip. The location was superb, close to tourist attractions and convenient for exploring the central coast. The dining experience, which was included in the room rate, was a delightful morning treat, although the menu was the same every day. Overall, the hotel provided great value for the money.

The hotel offers great value with clean, modern, and comfortable rooms located extremely well; however, don't expect too much. The service was super friendly and accommodating, going the extra mile to help guests. The location is close to all that SLO has to offer, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience was just enough to start the day. Overall, a great experience worth considering for future stays.
