This newly taken over motel in San Luis Obispo has an excellent location and is cute and affordable. The staff was very friendly, and I was given a 10% discount when I asked for an AAA rate. The rooms are basic but clean, and a good fan provided a cool breeze. I would recommend this place and will return when... More

I chose this place based on the reviews, location, and price. I expected the room to be cleaner. The bed was fine, shower/bathroom fine, but the carpeted floor and under the bed, behind furniture was dusty and dirty. That put a damper in the general cleanliness to me. The furniture was old and dresser worn and scuffed/peeling heavily. A decorative... More

very helpful, reliable staff. I left my wallet in the room and they promptly called me and held it safely for me until I could come back to claim it. We stayed for one night and arrived in town without a reservation and after asking at another hotel they sent us to Los Padres.

The rooms are definitely a bit weathered and outdated, but the price can't be beat. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the location is very convenient to downtown SLO. Recommended so long as you're ok with a room that is a bit on the shabby side.

Stayed here for two nights. We did not have a reservation and the lady at the checkin was friendly and helpful. We checked out the room and decided to stay. The cost was reasonable. We were close enough to walk downtown, which was a consideration for us. The room was small but it was clean. The beds were comfortable and... More

My experience there was the best... Their location is a short walk to downtown SLO... And the Thursday Night Farmer's Market or take the "Trolley" when it's running... Couple of places to eat not a hundred yards away... Great Mexican food and happy hour even closer... The Motel is somewhat Vintage... Like a good wine... However... The rooms are clean... More

For 71 US Dollars a night, I was expecting breakfast but the hotel does not have breakfast available. The room was clean and quiet. When I asked about the internet connection, the employee said the code for access would be on the telephone in the room but it wasn't. I coudn't be bothered to go back to reception and ask... More

Great little hotel, not far from the town centre of San Luis Obispo. Arrived on a Thurs evening and we were able to make it to the farmers market which was a highlight, great food and great atmosphere in the main street. Our room rate was cheap and it was clean and comfortable. The manager and staff were friendly and... More

This little motel has a cheery blue and terracotta exterior with charming touches like hand-painted tiles and courtyard fountain. Staff member was not cordial over the phone, but very friendly in person. Our rate was cheap ($85) and the room size reflected that -- very small but adequate. Great location, but street traffic was noisy. Little drawbacks were annoying: burnt... More

Room was clean but dated. Appeared to have been decorated recently. Thin curtains did not keep out the light. The view from both windows in the room was awful a wall from one and a wall and a rusted car out of the other! On a positive note was not too long a walk in to San Luis Obispo.
