Downtown SLO Inn - San Luis Obispo
DIRTY, insect in my room floor not swept or vacuumed. Ice machine worked one day and the next day not working, I put $2.30 in the soda machine and couldn’t get anything out and it wouldn’t give back my money. And the manager said that it’s not responsible for monies lost. I don’t recommend this ...
