Perfect location for a visit to CalPoly. The hotel and restaurant staff were so helpful and friendly. Beds were comfy, room had ample space. We loved the shower products. There was a small issue in my bathroom and it was quickly fixed. Will definitely return.

A delightful surprise for my overnight stay. Staff was super friendly, room was above expectations and their onsite food options for breakfast was super convenient. Close enough to walk to downtown with paying that price for being close. I’d stay again without a hesitation.

My first room the shower was broken. There was hardly any good lightening in the room, it looked pretty worn and run down. My second room the door had to be forced shut with a lot of pressure otherwise it wouldn't close. the light bulb went out during my stay. Seemed like one thing after the other...
