This is a GREAT hotel with great staff. It is a bit noisy. Our room faced a parking garage and we heard party-goers at 2am when the bars closed and then also all the garbage trucks at 5-6am. Otherwise, great hotel and great location.

Hotel SLO has been on my list for a long time and it did not disappoint. Room was immaculate and had everything you need, nespresso machine, warm comfy robes (big plus in my hotel choices), modern clean lines, and great balcony. My view of the mountains was stunning. Check in was amazing and they gave me a room on the top floor which I requested. Tips: ask for a room facing tge mission and Madonna if you want a quiet room. High Bar and Ox and Anchor are stellar. Service and drinks/food amazing. We have stayed at other hotels in the area, don’t compare to Hotel SLO. Treat yourself, worth every penny.

SLO Gem!
Another Amazing Surfrider Foundation accommodation! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, although the housekeeper didn’t seem to speak Any English, she figured it out. The stay was lovely. They should be more forthcoming about their acceptable dog weight requirements Before booking. Overall it was a great time and we will be back

Great stay, great views and great vibes.
Really great Hotel with a lot to offer! Went for our Anniversary and we were greeted by friendly valet workers who also offered to take our bags. Front desk was very kind and quick. I will say the elevator moves slow and gets packed around the area so I’d recommend the stairs. We were on the second floor so the stairs were the best option to us. Room was nice and spacious with a small balcony with table and chairs that overlooked the patio area, restaurants, spa and pool. Two things that I hope they can fix are the bed and the TV. Both are outdated so as I found the bed decently comfortable, others might not and the TV is just because I’m used to faster ones. They still work perfectly just slow and that’s a personal issue haha. The restaurants are fantastic I’d recommend both and the roof top bar is great! It gets windy so take a sweater but I found it refreshing. We didn’t experience the spa or the pool and I feel that if you do stay at this lovely hotel, make sure you experience everything otherwise it’s an expensive price for an above average experience. We liked it a lot and possibly stay again but only if we do the spa day and the pool and more drinks otherwise we lose out on the full experience. Still, I’d recommend.
Balcony view at 6:30 AM
The fries! Shocked at the size of it but very crispy!
Maui Wowie pizza and Roasted chicken both a must!
Blue berry margarita and Dr Dre (old fashion whiskey with black cherry)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Paid the valet $20 to bring our bags up and they never made it to the room despite the fact that no one was using the valet and the kids looked bored which was the only reason I gave them my bags as I never ever use valet. I ended up going down and getting the bags myself and the boys did look embarrassed. The rooms are expensive but look no better than a comfort Inn. The elevator takes forever so I decided to take the emergency stairwell in the morning with my service dog but the exit door was locked and bc I forgot my key card I was locked in the East stairwell for 30 min as the front desk wouldn’t pick up. Upon being rescued I asked how it was possible that an emergency door would lock from the interior to which I was told if the fire alarm goes off it unlocks. This makes no sense as there are many other emergencies that may necessitate emergency evacuation. What if I hadn’t had my phone ? The lobby bar is hopping and that’s about all I can say is good about this hotel.

This hotel was sort of a splurge for me, but entirely worth it. I was greeted by a friendly efficient person on check-in. My room was lovely and clean. They checked in twice a day to tidy up and turn the room down in the evening, I love that there was a Nespresso machine and a small refrigerator. The Hotel had a well appointed, clean gym, A wonderful pool, a bar and restaurant. Also a small latte stand with baked goods on the go. Its location is magnificent – – easy walking to downtown San Luis Obispo. I would certainly not hesitate to stay again or recommend this property to friends.

Great downtown hotel
Great hotel in downtown SLO. Huge rooms, comfy king size beds, a pool, a rooftop bar... What more could you ask for? Service was great throughout. The room was "refreshed" each day, they missed replacing a few items (e.g. used hand towels) but fixed it quickly when we mentioned it. Watch out for the valet parking cost (~$25 a night), though it worked well and saved hassle trying to find a spot
