This was a good place to stay, manager was very nice and allowed us an early check in. Our room was next to the busy street but I turned on the fan so you couldn't hear the traffic. would stay there again.

Jerry was exceptional with his cheerful demeanour upon my arrival and throughout my three day stay. Jerry’s willingness to make my stay totally satisfying was delightful! Hotel was clean and neat with room service daily. Located in downtown SLO it is a bit noisy but if that bothers you bring earplugs to sleep. I will definitely stay again before my grandson graduates from college!
