The best hotel in San Luis Obispo! I make sure to stay at least one night every time I visit. The location is amazing, the rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and the staff is truly exceptional. One of the things I love most is seeing the same friendly faces year after year—they always make me feel so welcome. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else

The hotel was under construction and although the construction crew finished at 5pm, the concrete plates on the street were constantly being driven over at night and it was so loud. The hotel was charming, the little happy hour with small treats and beverage at 5pm was lovely. The breakfast was so thoughtful and charming.
