This hotel was inexpensive, but it was clean, with easy access to the freeway. It was also quiet. Which was nice. It was only a 15 minute drive to the San Luis Obispo airport, which is why I stayed there. All the hotels in San Luis Obispo were way over priced. This one was perfectly comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and stay here again,

Decent place to stay, nothing fancy. The location is close to Pismo Pier, beach access close by and easy freeway access. Staffs English was limited but very friendly and promptly replaced broken microwave.

I stayed over the weekend and was dissapointed. Start with the positive: cute, clean, convenient location. The opportunities: small rooms, tiny bathroom that looks as though they started a remodel but failed to complete The work completed in the room looks as though it was a DIY upgrade. Outdated medicine cabinet, broken toilet paper dispenser, caulking around the sink was on electical appliances Provided an iron, but no ironing board Towles were rough. And a sign informing you they do audits of My ID wasn't verified at check in i was handed a list pointed to my name and given the assigned key. No receipt was offered at check out. Not horrible but I would not book again.

The air conditioner did not work and it was so hot my guest had to leave because she didn’t feel well! The staff said I didn’t need air 3 people came to look at it but nothing! I had to wait to go to the room till it cooled off just to be able to breathe! The floor was dirty! Very difficult to understand the staff, and they don’t seem to know what they’re doing! Awful experience! Never returning!

There was nothing unique about this property. The room is basically a box with a bed and shower. In fact, the shower is larger than most hotel showers!

I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt like I needed to tell the world how wonderful my stay was here. This was exactly what we needed for our 1 night trip— cost effective & clean. Extra points because it’s located directly next door to a yummy coffee shop. Walking distance to a liquor store. I want to write this review because the woman & man (the only two employees I saw during my stay, & I regret not getting their names) were both beyond kind & accommodating. I will definitely stay here again because of their kindness. Thank you both.

I was reading reviews and I’m not sure if they are under construction but from what I read to what we experienced was totally different and in a great way. Cute little room for our one night stay and just the two of us. Super close to the beach. Needs curtains! We had a well lit room with lights off and blinds closed. Other than that it was great.

A cute little place right in town. Just a 10 min walk to the most gorgeous sunset location. Margo Todd Park. They had eye makeup remover to save those towels … smart. Hairdryer included which I find is not the common thing still in less expensive places. I would recommend staying here and would definitely stay again if I’m the area.
