Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The carpet near the bed smelled strongly of urine. Also, another guest was given our room, so they opened our door at 10:00 p.m. while we were in bed. The front desk person was completely unapologetic about these issues, even though I was very nice about it all. He just said, “so what do you want, to check out?” Since I did not have that option and needed to be there another night, he did let me change rooms. Although I wouldn’t stay here again, the upsides are that the pool is nice and clean, the location very convenient, and price is good compared to other motels in the area.

When you drive in, it gives off slight Bates motel vibes, but once we got in the room we were very happy. Very clean and spacious, the beds and pillows were comfortable and a quick 5 minute drive to downtown. We were only here for one nite.

The man who owns this hotel puts no effort into his character but does put a decent amount into his hotel. Outdated but clean enough rooms. There's a pool and hot tub, which we really enjoyed. I read the reviews and many are similar. This isn't a place to be treated like a person but it's a decent hotel with comfortable beds, a fridge, a microwave, some parking and a pool.

This was an awful experience. Flew in from Virginia. Dirty sheets, door lock had been broken like it was kicked in. Rocks propped open the attic which was above the shower. Took a shower and immediately after walking around, my feet were black. Front desk guy was absolutely awful, and got a little aggressive about us wanting a refund & to check out. We left, and turns out he didn’t check us out, and now I’m battling a refund through Expedia. I am extremely disappointed, and this put a huge damper on my vacation.

Just alright

We’ve stayed here before in 2021, and had a terrible stay. The neighbors were loud, and we had trouble sleeping. I booked here again not realizing it was the same hotel. Same issue, neighbors all around were loud and I had trouble sleeping. I appreciated the free parking, and the ease of the check in though. I will not book again.

The Inn at San Luis Obispo Stay

The most comfortable beds I've slept in at a hotel since Singapore. Very nice. The AC is under the sink and it hits the edge of the valence, so it doesn't cool the room and the cooled air never leaves the area under the sink. That needs to be fixed. Luckily, the temps were only in the mid 70°s and we had the windows open, so it was very nice, but on a hot day that's not gonna cut it. Otherwise it was quiet during the day and evening and there are plenty of places near by to grab some food. Overall, very nice experience. I'm staying there again in a couple of days as I have to see my son again in San Luis Obispo.
