Check in was easy, and the staff was very engaging and helpful. The property was clean and very well maintained. The room was spotlessly clean the linens new and fresh and being right in the heart of San Luis Obispo everything was just a few blocks away. Definitely will return for another costal adventure soon.

We needed to stay in downtown SLO on short notice and Los Padres Inn worked out perfectly. The staff was very friendly and professional and the room was comfy. Free parking was also nice and lots of local restaurants and pubs within walking distance.
