What a pleasant surprise! Had a beautiful night I. The Inn. The renovated rooms were beautiful. The location was perfect for exploring downtown SLO. The staff were so welcoming and helpful! The only downside was, in my opinion, the breakfast-a little underwhelming, but so appreciated the effort and friendliness of the staff who prepared it.
