Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We chose this place because we wanted a suite setup that gave the kids their own room and Quality did not disappoint. Hotel is a 7 minute walk to a great coffee shop (Skippers Brew) at the edge of downtown and another 5 to the heart of SLO. Two nice bonuses: a breakfast that goes above and beyond the standard continental breakfast and a happy hour with free wine and beer (five quality taps). Speaking of beer, the hotel is next door to Central Coast Brewing and an attached distillery. One other thing to note, even though we thought the rooms were clean and in good condition, they were renovating the property while we were there so if you go in a month or so the rooms should be updated and even nicer.

Hotel's Favourite
The suites are large: a living room area and a separate bedroom. Ours had two TVs, a microwave, a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. But the real selling point is there is a wonderful free breakfast daily from 6:30 to 9:30am. The cafe and outside tables allow for plenty of room to enjoy the wide variety of breakfast items, including egg dishes prepared to order. The cafe staff are uniformly friendly. Also from 5:30 to 7:30pm there if Happy Hour in the bar. Beer and wine are free. Sit in the bar or sit out by the pool. If you want a quick hot dog or burger, a barbecue is available and the prices for that food are nominal. The hotel is right off the 101 on Monterey St, which goes right down to the old downtown section. I can't say enough good things about this operation and it is the only place we stay when we visit San Luis Obispo. I have to assume that the management of this hotel knows what they are doing and seems to have employees who are happy and service oriented.

What a great find! We stayed here for 5 nights over Thanksgiving and could not have been happier. The rooms were refreshed, beds comfortable. Do not expect everything to be new, but all things will function properly. Really loved that the hotel tried to create community with the breakfast, large outdoor gathering area with many seating areas, and complimentary happy hour. They also served a cooked to order BBQ dinner. Simple, but decent food for VERY reasonable prices. We ate dinner here twice. Would absolutely stay here again and have already recommended it to others.

Not a fancy hotel but lots of perks……..very pretty lobby, evening bbq meals for purchase, complimentary glass of wine, great breakfast cafe (breakfast is included), friendly staff, separate and comfortable sitting area in room. Rooms need updating, but there was remodeling going on in different areas of the hotel while we stayed there. Excited to see what the rooms look like after the remodel. It’s a bit of a walk to the downtown area, but we enjoy walking so didn’t mind. We’d stay here again.

This hotel is a real find. The room is clean, comfortable, quiet, and we’ll-located. Unlike many other hotels on our road trip, the thermostat worked perfectly. Most surprisingly, they serve food in the courtyard which is really good. We paid $6 for a hamburger, all the sides were free, and wine and beer are free. The people ate the front desk were extremely helpful and polite. If you are traveling to this area, I highly recommend staying here.

Very comfortable room and bed--not far from downtown. We stayed one night and enjoyed it. A nice breakfast is served. There is a nice view of the creek from some benches behind the hotel. The staff are very nice and helpful.

We had to replace a card keys to get into our room twice and we overheard another couple complaining about problems with their card keys. It was Mustang Family Weekend at CalPoly so the property was likely sold out which meant finding a parking spot was a problem if you return to your room late in the evening. Fortunately, the front desk was OK with us parking near the front door. My wife complained that the room smelled of bleach but that means that they cleaned it, right? The room setup is a bit strange. The bathroom sink is actually in the same space at the bed and all of the lights are extremely bright. There is no way for an early-riser to be subtle about turning on the light without disturbing others. The pocket door to the toilet/bathtub was extremely heavy! My wife struggled with it and she commented about it every time she had to open or close the door. The complimentary breakfast was the best part of our experience. Breakfast is semi-made to order (there are 4 menu choices that you can choose from) and prepared quickly. Breakfast ends at 9:30am..... another half-hour would be nice. Overall, the experience was average at best. This won't be our preferred lodging when visiting SLO.

Very welcoming lobby. Free welcome beverages 5:30-7:30. Cooking sandwiches to order by the pool, from $3-$10. Great rooms. Our 1 night stay was great. Pool and spa were lovely. Extend your stay and enjoy the location and all the amenities. Great breakfast Cafe, too!

Etna, California42 contributions22 helpful votes
I always have mixed feelings about reviewing this amazing hotel as I want to keep it a secret. I have stayed here at least multiple times a year over the past 15 years. This hotel is the standard I evaluate all other hotels by. The staff, from the front desk, breakfast, BBQ to housekeeping and maintenance, is professional and friendly. The property is classic Spanish architecture and impeccably maintained. The pool courtyard has seating for those relaxing or tables and chairs for those dining. The pool and hot tub are also well maintained.The rooms are comfortable and provide excellent separation between the living and sleeping spaces. The location puts you just a 10 minute walk to downtown SLO. The made to order breakfast is excellent with choices to accommodate anyone. Due to attending events, I am rarely able to take advantage of the evening BBQ/happy hour from 5:30 - 7:30 but did so this time. The offerings were hot dog (dinner size), hamburgers, grilled chicken sandwich or philly cheese steak sandwich with your choice of salad or coleslaw as very reasonable prices. Complimentary beer and wine are offered to hotel guests during this time as well. The Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo is more than a place to stay, it's a destination in itself. We wish all hotels were like this one.
