It was my wife's birthday, so I booked two nights (Friday and Saturday) at the Garden Street Inn, as a surprise. We absolutely loved our stay. Beautiful room that included a great breakfast each morning. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. San Luis Obispo is a great town to visit and the Garden Street Inn is downtown and close to all the sites and restaurants.

Cute building, nice rooms, comfy bed. Liked the outdoor seating options as well as the tasty breakfast. It’s a convenient location in downtown that lets you walk everywhere. But also a bit pricey for everything you get - I chalk it up to location & convenience. Overall great stay & would consider staying again when doing things in downtown SLO.

Outstanding facility with comfortable and quiet rooms. Parking is inconvenient with only one loading zone spot and a few blocks’ walk to either a paid parking garage or on-street free parking if you can find a spot. Breakfast was terrific. Hosts were gracious and helpful. Location is convenient walking distance to all of downtown. Will definitely stay again.
