We really enjoyed our stay! The room was clean and everything was working. The staff was very friendly. Good selection of channels on the tv. Quiet spot and right across the street from a Starbucks! Plus a little perk that you get a 10% discount off of Denny's since it's right there. Easily 4.5 stars! If I had to nitpick, the lights in the room are different color temperatures and it's a bit jarring. But otherwise, a wonderful stay!

This is a very basic motel. If all you need is a place to park your car, a clean but spartan room, and above-average bed to sleep in, it will do. If you are looking for more in SLO, you will need to spend more than the ~$125/night they charge here.

The property is in need of being updated. The pillows were uncomfortable. We had two rooms and one had a terrible smell. They used an air freshener, but the smell didn't go away.
