Affordable motel near CalPoly, downtown SLO and 101 run by nice people. Finishes are dated and a little worn, but the place is clean and the price is right. Fridge and microwave in the room were helpful, and the AC works great!

I was pleasantly surprised after reading the reviews! It's definitely a more "lived in" property with some dust in places, but the beds & sheets were clean and very comfortable--lots of pillows--the shower had really hot water and great water pressure, and the towels were pristine white and fluffy--everything I needed!! For check-in and when I forgot my room card in my room--the front desk guy was fantastic and super friendly. Considering how much actual time I spent in my room it was great and I would stay here again. :) (Also, if you have a student at CalPoly, the location is awesome!)

This was a quick grab so didn’t expect much but roaches and the smell really got to me. Not a good experience I slept with a hat and earplugs to avoid roaches on me. It needs to be tightened up

I arrived first thing I did check the room. The room smell like dirty and old, bathtub roach, under the sink, both beds had hairs on the sheets and pillow cases like they never changed them.
