The wood floors made the room feel real clean. The room and appliances were updated. Great breakfast. A little over a mile to downtown SLO. Walking got us home faster than calling an uber. Great value for the price. Will stay here again. A+

I came up for a family photo shoot. It was wonderful that it was so quiet at night. Slept like a baby. The room was clean. My highlight was having the pool and spa all to myself for an hour. Lucky me!!. I floated on your floaty ring and enjoyed the bubbly spa for 20 ish min. Thank you for a relaxing and restful overnight stay. 🌹
