Clean and spacious rooms

Great clean hotel. Only issue we experienced was the shower drain wasn’t draining very well. When I tried to call the front desk, the phone didn’t have a phone cord attached. I called using my cell phone and spoke to someone at the front desk who at least tried to remedy the drain issue.

The hotel is conveniently located near US-101 and it took us less than 10 minutes to get to downtown San Luis Obispo. The room was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was surprisingly good with waffle machines and great coffee. Free parking was nice too as some hotels in the area charge for parking.

Just Awful

Not thrilled with a few things. We always book pool hotels so to find out it is out of commission and has been for a long, long time is incredibly disappointing, as it wasn't stated when booking. Our AC doesn't work properly. Have to set it to 60 to come on at night to cool off the stuffy room. There is a 5 inch crack in the bathtub which creaks when you're standing in it. I wonder what damp mold is underneath it. The bathroom feels dirty. The breakfast is the worst I've ever experienced at any hotel I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. Stuff that was out wasn't refilled fast enough and the area felt dirty. The food itself, can only be described as sad. Charging $5 each for a bottle of soda and water is extortionate. Our first Hampton inn experience, and our last. 0/5 if I could, but staff was good and none of the above appeared to be their fault. How on earth they have a 8.8/10 is beyond me. They must be paying for good reviews.

Good location if you have a car. Lots around but due to main road not really able to walk easily to diners and shops. Have to drive into the town but parking is inexpensive. Comfortable beds and pillows and large room. Did not have any conditioner in the shower but a small issue really. Breakfast was ok but not enough fresh fruit. Would stay again.

1. Breakfast was good (proteins available like sausage and egg, and yogurt) and convenient (self-serve in a good-sized lobby). 2. Front desk staff offered us bottled water at check-in, one per person, which is thoughtful on a hot day. 3. Hot water is available all day (a big plus), across the check-in desk, if you wanted to make a cup of tea. 4. It’s nice that they always have someone at the front desk (for convenience and for security). Overall a pleasant stay!
Bathroom is clean, but can hear the sound of toilet clicking occasionally and hear the shower running from neighbor.
Room does have an iron and iron board.
There are two waffle makers (one makes a large waffle like this, the other makes 4 small round waffles).
