Hotel San Luis Obispo
"I love Hotel SLO and have stayed there several times. It’s a beautiful property, in the middle of downtown, with ridiculously comfortable beds and an excellent staff. Unfortunately, the last couple times I’ve stayed there have been some maintenance issues in the rooms that have not been addressed. ..."

Edgewater Inn And Suites
"Hotel was OK. Original room was along the very noisy street. The staff was nice and accommodating to relocate us to a better/quieter room. Foom was old and dated, but it met our needs for a short overnight stay."

Spyglass Inn
"The carpets are filthy . The shower made a loud noise and there were no C adapters to charge phones."

Madonna Inn
"We are locals and this is our go-to fun place to change up our routine. Go here 4-5 times yearly. Old Mill Room is UNREAL! No other property like this and it’s stayed magical since opening in ‘50’s. Pool is great place to chill and swim in warm water. See you again, very soon!!"
