The hotel is economical. The room was small and recently remodeled. It was very tidy. The bathroom sink was nice with a large counter for putting your things. It served the purpose of a nice place to stay the night on a quick visit to SLO.

My review of this amazing place!

Super impressed by this motel, I've stayed at a lot of hotels and motels around the world and this genuinely felt as if i had my own condo and vibe/feel to it. Super easy to get downtown and the place was spotless and clean all time. Extra kudos to the owner Jerry, who was extremely helpful and was always on hand for any problems, which there were none! 100% will be coming back to stay onbmy next visit to San Luis Obispo!!!! Thank you Jerry!!!

Well-appointed, economical, family-run motel

Well-managed, clean and economical option in San Luis Obispo. Jerry, who is the manager (owner?), takes pride in offering a great space. It is a small motel and offers easy parking, some rooms have nice views of the surrounding hills, as well as in-room refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine which is very convenient. While rooms are not new, my room was spacious for 1-2 people and had a desk etc. The bathroom was clean and the water was hot. They do housekeeping every day. It's located right by several food options and what seemed to be a brewery/beer garden. Note that this motel is right on a very busy road (seems to be leading to a 101 ramp), so you will hear quite a bit of traffic noise though the windows seemed to be double paned. I'd recommend a white noise machine / app.

Id stay here again...

My stay here was good, but its the smallest room I've ever had. Haha It was clean and smelled fresh. The bed was comfortable. There were a couple of snts scouting around the bathroom, but not enough to be a problem. My main critism was my view. There was a building blocking sny hope of a view
My view...
