Friendly staff with great breakfast and happy hour!
The ambiance was delightful. It was so lovely staying in a hotel/inn that had charm rather than the usual sterility of a chain hotel. It was quiet and parking was included along with a very nice afternoon wine/cheese gathering and an excellent breakfast. Highly recommended.
Charming hotel. Large room, beautifully furnished. The staff was amazing and the breakfast was wonderful. I would highly recommend this hotel to others. I'll be back!
We’ve been doing a road trip of California and SLO/Petit Soleil has been our absolute favourite place so far. From the amazing staff to the gorgeous hotel/rooms, we couldn’t fault it. We loved their aperitif hour and breakfast, both of which were an amazing touch. We had the best time and can’t wait to come back at some point in the future. Thanks so much for having us!
I absolutely adore this property. Very unique-the staff is always friendly and accommodating. I can not recommend it enough. So cute and the breakfast is and huge bonus with fresh pastries.
Everything about this hotel was absolutely perfect. From the employees to the room to the bathroom to the happy hour to the breakfast. We could not have been happier. I only wish we could have stayed longer. If you are ever in SLO, I highly recommend this hotel!
Room was clean! Staff was super friendly and courteous! They offer lots of perks like free snacks and drinks after checking in. Location was also great! Fun place to stay!

The staff was excellent and the rooms were welcoming.
Petit Soleil is a wonderful little inn with a highly attentive staff, wonderful cocktail hour, delicious breakfast, and very comfortable, well-appointed rooms. The location is great proximity to many shops and restaurants in downtown SLO.

Lovely vibe in a great location. Very walkable to shopping and restaurants. Very friendly staff and a wonderful breakfast each morning that felt like you were staying in someone’s home.
Beautiful room—restful and well accommodated. Their wine reception and breakfast in the lovely dining room and courtyard are truly top-notch. I felt like I was in Paris!
