The lodge was average from the outside, as expected. The location is very good for SLO. And the surpise was that the room was not outdated. The bathroom was remodeled with slate tile and curved curtain bar. For the money I was very happy.

I had a 6 night reservation. After the first night I complained about the lack of hot water, and was told that it was due to the room upstairs using water at the same time. Day 2 complaint response was "watch your tongue" ( I used no curse words, but did express my frustration). Day 3 complaint response was, "I'm too busy to take care of this. You can't change rooms now because it's too late to re-rent your room because the maids are gone." Day 4 I left.
Asit and Hima Shinglot are general managers. My demand for reliable hot water seemed to be an unreasonable request to them.

It was inconvenient to not have reliable hot water, but to have my request dismissed in this manner was insulting.

Bed okay, clean, noise level high, hot water????????? And don't expect any complaints to be received with a courteous or a positive response.

stayed one night on my way to San Francisco ... its okay for one night but don't except anything else then a bed ( not very comfortable ) and a telly. It was very basic and clean so if you are on a budget for one night i think it would be okay.
Also it s walking distance to the downtown area and there are a few eateries around.

We stayed here for a night whilst travelling down the west coast from San Francisco to LA as San Luis is roughly half way between the two cities. If I was to rate the hotel based on what we were looking for - a cheap, clean and handy place to stay for a stopover - I would give it full marks,

The hotel is situated on the edge of town but its only a 15 minute walk to the town centre and we enjoyed the walk after such a long day driving. The town is lovely with lots of nice bars and restaurants and I was definitely pleased we visited as there was such a nice atmosphere.

The room itself was very basic but was really clean and had a small kitchenette should you require it. There was a pool (albeit beside the car park) and a complimentary breakfast (muffins and pastries). This was available in the small reception area but we chose to take it out with us. The man, who I presumed was the manager, was very helpful and polite and looked after us well.

I would return to this hotel and would definitely recommend it. If you are looking for a convenient, clean, cheap hotel where the service is good then this is the place for you.
