Our room had nice high ceilings, a mini fridge and a microwave. It's also on Monterey St, which is a 5 minute drive from anywhere downtown in SLO. Lots of people walk downtown too. I was driving an EV, and L2 charged across the street at La Quinta, which allows non-guests to charge. The owner was very helpful.

Wonderful and peaceful stay. The hotel manager was so friendly and helpful - giving me a call for the lost and found after we checked out. Although it's not a fancy brand hotel chain, I highly recommend this hotel for your brief stay.
