Top hotels in Foothill
Downtown SLO Inn - San Luis Obispo
Didn’t feel clean, bed was not comfortable, and the shower leaked water all over the bathroom. SLO needs more cheap hotel options so I want this place to succeed, but they’ve gotta put some care into it

Olive Tree Inn & Suites, a Howard Johnson by Wyndham
A good deal for the price

Oxford Suites Pismo Beach
Edgewater Inn And Suites
Overall, this a great place to stay. I've stayed here several times. The rooms and property are clean. You can not beat the location, literally just a few steps from beach access and a quick 5 minute walk to downtown Pismo. What it lacks in up to date decor it more than makes up for in staff friendliness ...

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel
Free breakfast was ho-hum, but at least there was coffee. The facility was terrific, with grassy areas and access to the beach.
