We had a great one night stay here. We were pleasantly surprised by how big the room was (and high ceilings!) it felt very clean and well taken care of. Just one note that the headboard was a bit frayed/didn’t look great, but we try to stay away from them at hotels anyways while sleeping. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful and peaceful stay. The hotel manager was so friendly and helpful - giving me a call for the lost and found after we checked out. Although it's not a fancy brand hotel chain, I highly recommend this hotel for your brief stay.

The hotel was pleasant with a nice spacious room. The staff person at check in was very helpful. The small dining table in the room was very much appreciated. I would be happy to stay again when visiting San Luis Obispo.

What a nice place to stay in SLO! The kind lady at the desk told us about the weekly Farmers Market in walking distance. It was fantastic! (Thursday nights) Villa Motel is directly across the street from The Hub which houses Central Coast Brewery and Krobar Distillery. Both wonderful and they have food trucks on site. SLO is a great city, very walkable and friendly. Villa Motel is quaint and comfy. Would definitely stay again!

Older, but perfectly adequate

Perfectly adequate for a one night stop over. The hotel is older and could use some repairs outside. The room was clean, in good repair, and spacious. The staff was super nice. No problems.

The room we stayed in had a vaulted, open beam ceiling with finished wood. It was a simple room, but it was very very well maintained. It had a coffee pot, a very quiet heater and a lovely shower. We were checked in by a very sweet, older lady who walked us to our room and showed us how the TV and heater worked. We'll be back.

My first time here, but I'll stay again!

This was my first time staying here. It's apparent that the owners are making little upgrades around the property, and that is appreciated. My room was very clean - the bed immaculate, with fresh, crisp sheets. The carpeting could use a deep clean or be replaced, as it had that old musty motel carpet smell, but other than that, I was extremely happy staying here. Very safe neighborhood, and barely any street traffic during the night.
