Good stay

My stay was good but the bed sheets were not comfortable for me, maybe they were synthetic as they didn’t seem breathable.

A quiet and clean hotel within walkable distance from town center. The noisy fridge was the only downside.

My room was very clean, bed comfortable, location felt safe while being close to freeway. It is on a one way street in an area with quite a few one way streets so you have to be ready for that. Downtown SLO is quite congested. The fridge was nice size though freezer needed to be defrosted. Was no decaf coffee in either room nor in front office in the morning. They take the coffee and hot water away some time before 10 AM. I had a cup early but it wasn't there when I checked out at 10. The afternoon clerk, a younger man, was pleasant and helpful. The older couple when I checked out not so friendly. Some spaces in the parking lot need to be marked compact. A VERY long van parked just on the other side of me and blocked me from being able to back out of my space. Fortunately, someone had left their space on my drivers side and with many backs and angling, I was able to make a U turn and get out of my space. Long vehicles should not be allowed to park in the row of spaces in front of the first floor rooms. When I returned after an event, the offending van was still there so I parked farther away in the lot even though it was inconvenient and less secure. There was no guide for the TV and it was hard to find good channels. Did not like the remote. The room had one overhead light close to the door. It needs a second one because it leaves the closet and small table quite dark. The lights on the bedstands don't help. Had to use my laptop on the bed.
