Stayed alone for business travel and had everything I needed within a block. House of bread is right across the street and their raspberry cinnamon roll was the cherry on top of a wonderful stay!

This property has a great location, rooms are nice and beds are comfy; I did not like the lack of counter space in the bathroom, nor the attitude of the staff- no flexibility on late check out, unless you pay 50$ even with missing an hour due to time change; I had to take a business call around check out time and was directed to the local library. Location is great!

$25 required for an early check-in, first time i've heard of that. REALLY small shower where the shower head was on the ceiling, straight down. Water pressure was low, took forever to get hot.

The gentleman who checked us in was very pleasant. He accommodated our request for a downstairs room towards the back of the property. The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable & it was very clean. We did have some inconsiderate people talking very loud in the parking lot around midnight but that wasn't the facilities fault. We would stay there again. FYI - good price for SLO.
