It was nice, big, spatial room, great location and price, if you’re booking little bit ahead of time! There is something I didn’t feel comfortable about… when I was checking out, I had my friend picking me up, and I was ready and packed, with my door open and ready to go, at the time of check out… but when my friend had arrived little bit after the checkout time, the attitude of the person who checked me in was not very pleasant…. But who cares about that I guess… It is nice, clean, big rooms place to stay! I will come back if I will be travelling there again!

Inexpensive - but worth it?

We booked late for a Cal Poly event. The price was good. The room is run-down, dirty, small, noisy, and in disrepair. The only good thing was the bedding was clean, and the beds pretty comfortable.

Nice, comfortable bed and clean room. Simple amenities. Fairly spacious. Competitively priced. Might be nice to offer Netflix or HBO for a few extra dollars a night. Otherwise is very close to downtown and there is a relaxing river visible from the patio towards the end of the parking lot.

SLO INN

Checking in and out was very easy and friendly. But the inn itself is very dated. Bed was just ok and pillows awful. Paper thin bath towel. Convenient location to Cal Poly where we came to town to attend the football game. I would not stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property looks clean during the day. The staff was friendly checking in. The problems was at night when the roaches come out. Tried telling the staff and they were bothered by the situation. Tried asking to move us to another room far away from that one and all they did was change is to the room next to it. We checked out and tried to cancel the rest of our reservation. The staff got mad and said they were not going to reimburse the rest of the days we had already paid. Really upset at the situation.

It seems that the property was recently renovated, so old reviews aren’t the best way to gauge the quality of the stay. Despite being right by a freeway, it was quiet and easy to sleep. Everything was clean and the fridge was spacious. The bathroom was a bit small and difficult to walk in and out of, but wasn’t much of a problem for an able bodied person. The only con was that my room’s window was stuck, but I didn’t really need it open.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property was quiet and somewhat safe looking. Everything is out of date. There is cracks and stains on furniture and walls. Beds were nicely made and towels seemed and smell cleaned. The sheets i think might have not been washed. We saw lint and hair the moment we arrived and saw the sheets. We slept in our clothes and wrapped the pillows in extra clothes just to be safe. If you need a one night sleep and next to fast food and freeway then this place is the place to be. Other wise not the best looking feeling place to be for a extended period of time.

Take a pass on this one

First, I don't judge budget motels against higher level properties. I actually usually like places that are a little funky. With that said, this place was pretty dreadful. I was in town with my daughter for a soccer tournament and did not have the opportunity to book well ahead of time. We have stayed in the SLO area several times, from beach hotels to higher level properties. By the time we booked, rates were sky high. I read the reviews for this property and knew it wouldn't be fabulous. However, the first impression is that it's just a little weird. Check in was fast, no more than two minutes. In that two minutes, I was told, "no pets, no, smoking, no visitors - check out at 11," at least three times. The room was hot when we opened the door. The dresser was missing a handle on one of the drawers. Half of the power outlets did not work. There was a hair in the shower drain so the water would not vacate. I pulled it out and it was the size of a small rodent, so it has not been cleaned properly in awhile. I would not stay again, but to the hotels credit, it was relatively quiet at night. The location is not great, but you are very close to the freeway to get to the nicer parts of SLO.
