My adult kids and I were going to an event in San Luis Obispo and just the night before our trip, we decided to get a room. We searched all over the Five Cities, looking for a place that would be safe, clean, relatively updated, affordable, and at least 8.0 out of 10. Not at all easy to find. Thought we were going to have to drive further away. We decided on this place and we were happy with the choice. The gentleman we met at check-in / checkout were friendly. The area was quiet. The beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. We were happy to have a second story room with windows that were somewhere other than the main walkway. We were able to keep them open for our whole visit and the fresh cool air was wonderful. I would say the only negatives were that the curtains were a bit shabby. You could see light shining through holes behind them and they hung out over the bed. But I just pushed them back behind the headboards and it was fine. And though the whole room looked spotless, the next morning I was walking around barefooted (which I rarely feel comfortable doing in these places) and when I went to put on my socks, I found that the bottom of my feet were filthy. But having the windows open, perhaps we contributed to dust on the floor. Or maybe just the floors were accidentally neglected on the last cleaning because everything else was fine. I would say those two things are very minor, unless you had little ones playing on the floor. We would definitely stay here again.

The male working the front desk was very very nosey. He assumed I was lying about who was staying with me. I made it very clear to him it was 2 adults and 2 kids and he charged me for the kids. I was traveling with other family who were not staying there or with me and he kept asking them questions and literally following them around the premises to see where they were going and when they were leaving. They made it clear to him two or three times that they were picking something up from me. Overall that was extremely uncomfortable! And he promised a refund for charging me extra for my kids. And I have yet to get that. I would not recommend this place.

Walls were thin - you could literally hear anything that happened outside of the room, or upstairs. There were ants in the bathroom. They charged for toothpaste. Appliances were dingy.
