The location, friendly staff - especially swift contact after hours made it perticularly pleasant. There is landuromat, little shop and farmers' market nearby. Super hiking trails. Appreciated the parking spot in front of the room. Short drive to Cal Poly.

WE have visited San Luis Obipo many times and have walked by the Hotel San Luis Obispo. WE never booked it because of its high price. This time, tired of the overprced and often run-down hotels and motels in town we decided to spend more and book a room. We were very impressed with teh hotel design, teh larger, modern and comforatble room and all the amenites including apool taht was heated to be very comfortable. And the staff!- Wveryone was vey friendly and helpful. I spoke to one of the staff and complimented her and the hotel. One more thing- the next morning we planned to have Brunch at a local restaurant we know. We decied at teh last minute to have brunch at the hotel instead, to give it a try. We ordered the moked samon. Instead of being just the usual simple combination of salmon, cream cheese and bagel with maybe some tomotoes, capers, etc. this cama on a large plate with a big portion of salmon with pesto, really freash tomotoes, caper beriies, jalapenos, pickled onions, capers, Calabrian style red chili peppers, a salad and more. it was the absolutely best I've ever had, and we've been to many high-end restaurants. We thinkl the hotela nd restaurant hit a home run!

    We were married there 57 years ago so we return for our anniversary. We love the Street Fair on Thursday night in SLO and it is central to go to Morro Bay, Cayucos, or Pismo. We love Duckies in Cayucos and the Splash in Pismo. Brown Butter Cookies in Cayucos and Cowboy Cookies in Pismo are great too.

    Beautiful small city with a comfortably busy downtown full of art galleries, restaurants, boutiques, museums, and historic landmarks. The weather was perfect every day, which is typical for the area most of the year. San Luis Obispo is also close to some of the best beaches in California.

    SLO and eazy. The city does it right. Close to all the wonders of the central coast: highway 1 to Big Sur, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, wine tasting in paso Robles. Abundance of restaurants and shops, great weather and the Mission all make SLO a great place to visit.

    There is a farmers market downtown on Thursday evenings during the summer. Though my recent visit was on a Tuesday, I've been to the event in the past and it's an enjoyable way to spend the evening. I highly recommend Louisa's Place for breakfast. Most (but not all) of the seating is at the counter, so that could be a problem for families or groups of people. I arrived at 8:00 and luckily there was one seat at the counter. When I left about 45 minutes later, there were at least a dozen people waiting to be seated. The food is great. Look online and decide if it is right for you.

    This was a cute Inn. The room we stayed in had a comfortable king size bed and there was a sitting area with a loveseat. It was a large room and it was quiet. All of the staff associated with the inn were friendly and kind. Hotel was at the end of a series of standard hotels but this one was more unique.

    Rooms are clean, it is located a 10 min walk from downtown, the area is quiet and it feels safe there's a ton of similar motels and hotels around. I only stayed 1 night so didn't have much chance to interact with staff but the man who checked me in was extremely nice and helpful.
