Top Sunset Drive-In Theatre Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 San Luis Obispo, CA - South

10/10 Excellent

"The room was pleasant and clean. The staff were helpful."

Studio 6 San Luis Obispo, Ca

8/10 Good

"We stayed for two nights, the hotel is clean and the room was basic but fine. the beds are good, wifi is reliable, everything working. we stayed with the dog near the pool area it was clean and easy to take him out, they provide poop bags too. The dog liked the place the location isn't ideal, you must have a car. there is nothing within walking distance. The room has a coffee machine and the lobby serves coffee at 6:15 am but no breakfast and it's a bummer. we had to leave one day at 7 and a lot of the places around open after 7. I would really appreciate some snacks in the lobby or fruits. something. also no shampoo or conditioner in the room that was a bit surprising. the lobby people were very nice, polite, helpful. the lady gave my dog a treat. check in and out was easy. would recommend knowing to just be ready upfront with these things above."
