TownePlace Suites San Luis Obispo

"Had a very pleasant stay, room was nice and comfortable"

Madonna Inn

"great"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott San Luis Obispo

8/10 Good

"We stayed for two separate reservations at the Springhill Suites and Residence Inn . It has two parts to the hotel. Suites and Residence. The residence is the one to pick in our opinion as it has a kitchen. It also cost us less on the Residence side for the room with kitchen and full size refrigerator and than the Suites. Great pool which long enough to do some lengths rather than just get wet. All was very well maintained and modern. I believe the hotel was just over a year old when we stayed. The hotel offers free breakfast buffet which was fairly typical fare for an American hotel. Breakfast was particularly busy every morning with an “every man for themselves” feel. We started taking basic items back to our room instead. Over all a very nice modern and clean hotel. Kevin on the front desk was a superstar stand out for us. We’d definitely stay again but would book the “Residence” side."

"We couldn’t have asked for a better home and location to celebrate a family birthday. There was great communication from the host throughout our stay. The coastal air, scenic deck, quaint rooms, recreation opportunities, personal touches, warm welcome, and an overall family-friendly home, made for an unforgettable time with many sweet memories."

Private Avila Valley Estate · Heated Pool Jacuzzi & Sauna · Ideal for Gatherings

10/10 Excellent

"Ane's place is absolutely stunning! The location is incredible, set in a canyon next to vineyards and orange groves providing ample privacy. You're a 5-minute drive from Avila Beach but because of the microclimate, can expect a few additional hours of sunshine and air temps 5 degrees warmer than at the beach. You're also a quick drive away from downtown SLO.The house itself is beautiful, modern, and spacious - great for a group. The kitchen has high-end appliances and is well-stocked for any cooking you might want to do. The outside spaces are idyllic with a wonderful large pool and hot tub and impeccably maintained landscaping.Ane is super communicative and a great host. The snacks and bottles of wine upon arrival were a thoughtful touch and she allowed us to check in early, which was super helpful. One thing to be aware of: the bunkhouse next door is occupied by a tenant - she is super friendly (introduced herself shortly after we checked in) and was virtually unnoticeable throughout the weekend. All-in-all, we loved our stay at this property and would come back again in a heartbeat!"
