The positives: I loved the personal feel of this quaint little spot. The breakfast is delicious and included. The staff is friendly. Our issues were these: they charged us an extra $80 (!) per night because we had our two teens with us. I didn't even realize that when we made the reservation it was made for 2 people, but it was definitely made for 2 queen beds, obviously a room for 4 people. They told us they would charge us $40 extra per night and I was hesitant but said OK, then saw it was $40 per child, per night. We didn't see this until we got home and had the invoice emailed to us. Our heater didn't work and temps dropped to 30's overnight so we were pretty cold. We told them twice when we got there and they weren't able to fix it until the morning we left. Personally, they should have comped us the $80 fee for the fact that we were cold all night without a heater. The parking is a bit messy as they are doing construction on the building next door (to expand!)

Lovely Little Gem

This is the most charming gem of a hotel. The parking is easy. The rooms are reminiscent of a pretty boutique in Paris. Lovely grounds with complimentary wine and charcuterie. Excellent breakfast with room. The staff was exceptional. The place is spotless in a great walking location to downtown shopping & restaurants.

Five stars not enough !

A truly exceptional and friendly place to spend a few days in slo-chilled san luis obispo. Top of the review must be the staff, who were warm, friendly and helpful and the sort of people who made you feel welcomed and special. Initial perception of breakfast was slightly underwhelming after the common all you can eat offerings of most hotels… BUT here everything is top class, standouts include the best (homemade) croissants we have ever tasted, a changing daily choice of specials to order including granola, pancakes, french toast and frittata with different mini pastries, hardboiled eggs, orange juice and fruit. And a great bonus gesture, free hors d’oeuvres and a glass of wine or beer served every night between 5 and 6 in an innovative (very) happy hour to set up an exploration of slo’s many restaurants. Our los angeles based friends drove six hours to meet us - and they have vowed to return soon - without us. A rare find

I think the most important aspect about this property is the staff. They are exceptionally friendly & helpful. Jaycee even came to our room to help us figure out how to use the tv. But all of the staff are extremely friendly, courteous & helpful. Only two things I can think of could improve our trip: 1. Having access to regular channels, such as CBS, NBC, ABC & FOX; and 2. I couldn't get the air conditioner to get the room as cool as I like when I sleep. (But that actually may have been just operator error.) We loved the breakfast, the physical facility, and it's location. We very much enjoyed our stay, but most of all, we appreciated our interactions with the staff. They excel.
