I didn't really expect much when booking a room here, but I were in for a really welcome surprise. Rooms are large and clean, with comfortable beds, microwave, and all you would expect to find in a hotel room. The hotel is placed on the "motel strip" on the outskirts of SLO, but is far enough removed from the 101 so that traffic noise is not a problem. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk from the hotel to downtown SLO, one of the loveliest small towns in California. The area is safe and we enjoyed walking to and from town even at late hours. This is a real bargain with service and amenities far beyond what you would expect for the price.
The only letdown was the advertised "continental breakfast" that turned out to be only a pastry, coffee and orange juice. But all in all, I would definetly stay there again

We stayed here a couple weeks ago on our way up to San Francisco. The room we had was really clean as well as nice and big. They even had it decorated with the Travelodge Bear bedcovers, lamps, wallpaper border etc. Our only complaint is the people upstairs had small kids or baby elephants running around until 11:30 pm. After 2 calls to the office it finally settled down only to start back up again at 6:00 in the morning. It always amazes me that parents seem to have no clue how much noise it makes for the room below them when their kids are jumping off the beds and tearing across the floor like wild banshees.
All in all it is a nice, clean Travelodge. I would recommend it just make sure you don't have kids or baby elephants staying in the room above yours.

Stopped off for one night while driving PCH.Phoned them up the morning we left Santa Barbara very polite.Checked in room ok ,only problem was a cackling hag in the adjoining room making lots of noise and a "romantic" couple on the other side.Didnt really bother me though.Could nt get wifi to work in the room but seemed ok in reception(this closes at 11.00.)
Its about a twenty minute walk to the "action" in SLO which was good fun ,had a chinese buffet and a bucket of beer,what more could you want!!
Motel very handy for getting back on the road next day quite happy with the price for what we needed that night.

With the adult children driving, we've decided to see how "winging it" will work for us. On Friday night, coming from the north, just passed the Apple Farm and stopped to look for a budget place to sleep. Motel 6 was $99, but both the receptionist and 2 customers didn't look trustworthy. Best Western was $159 the cheapest, ouch!

Travelodge's pleasant-looking lady first said $129, but seeing my face, and learning we don't have AAA membership, she said "manager's discount is $109". Sure, we'd jumped on it! And our stay was pleasant.

The room on the 2nd floor had 2 queens, fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, safe, hairdryer, remote TV. Outside balcony overlooking the pool and parking (free). The room was clean, and NOT worn-out! Large counter in the bathroom - important for us ladies :)

I've heard some bikes maybe coming in or passing by, other then that - no noise. I really appreciated this quiet area after a day of sightseeing!

The only thing we didn't enjoy was breakfast - OJ, coffee, and some muffins or pastries - don't plan on having breakfast, it's just a coffee break. But for this low price on a busy July weekend I don't complain at all!

Location-wise not sure if this is the best area to stay, can't say anything negative, we had a car, this gave us easy access to everything, but there is a trolley stop by the Travelodge and a local bus was passing by.

I would definitely stay there again and recommend to everybody on a budget.
