One night stay near airport

Perfect for an overnight stay to get to the airport early! Walls are a bit thin, but once other guests quieted down, I didn’t hear any noise from the airport or nearby road. I had to be at the airport at 430am and easily scheduled an uber the night before to make the 10 minute drive. Staff was extremely kind and accommodating upon arrival.

This is a great value in SLO with comfy beds. Nothing fancy, but if you just need a great bed in a quiet motel, a walkable into town, this is a great choice. Save you cash for going out!

First time visit

My first time visiting San Luis Obispo, and everything was great! I was hoping to save money where I could, and selecting Avenue Inn helped with that. Everything I needed, and an excellent location! Enough amenities just outside my door, and perfectly walkable to the downtown. Just blocks away! I will DEFINITELY return to Avenue Inn.
