Bayfront Inn at the Waterfront
This is an older motel that has been fixed up. It is not modern nor fancy. But, for the price it is a comfortable place to stay with a wonderful patio to sit in the sun where you can see Morro Rock and the bay. Walking distance to everything and even free cinnamon rolls from the restaurant next door. ...

Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo
Made to order breakfast was average. Scrambled eggs were not real eggs and served at room temperature not hot. Very disappointing.

Spyglass Inn
Clean and a beautiful view. But be prepared that if you have a downstairs room you will hear lots of clomping above you. Disappointing that the restaurant was closed as that was why we wanted to stay there. Overall nice but a tired room

Cottage Inn By The Sea
The room was clean, and the mattress was very comfortable. I like that there is a fireplace in the room, along with a coffee maker and a small refrigerator. There is a great outdoor area to take in the ocean and enjoy your morning coffee.
