The front desk staff was very helpful in providing highlights of downtown SLO and we liked that the hotel was within walking distance from all the restaurants and stores. It was also a safe neighborhood to walk around.

Very nice place in SLO. The check in was easy and the owner of the hotel was very nice and helpful. Our 2 night stay was comfortable and the place is clean. The only potential issue is a lack of parking if returning late from a night out. I have stayed here before, will stay here again, and recommend it as a SLO lodging option.
