Close to downtown SLO, very close to freeway entrance, some restaurants close by. Parking is decent. Property is dated. We stayed in a 3 bedroom family suite that was a converted 2 bedroom apartment. Couch had two big holes in it. Hairdryer in bathroom did not work. Beds were okay.

Very polite staff. Clean rooms and beds. The hotel is a bit old, and from the era when smoking rooms were more prominent. But it was clean. We ran the AC to cover over the smell, and the unit didn’t really love being on all night. But other than the faint smell of old smoke it was a nice stay.

Good property for the price. Needed a place to crash for the night. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. Wifi worked, bathroom was older but everything worked, tV was small but good enough. The "property fee" is a little.suspect, but still a good budget hotel. I would stay there again if needed an overnight place.

It’s an average motel. It’s ok. It’s not dirty. It was a little noisy because of the proximity to the 101. Not walking friendly and a little difficult to get out of the drive in a vehicle. Staff was courteous. Nothing to write home about but if you’re just looking for a place to stay, it’s fine.
