Perfect Bed & Breakfast French Style

What a wonderful time we had! The location is within walking distance to all of the activities downtown, the bed was so comfortable, the property itself is quaint and somewhat secluded from the hustle bustle of the noise of the town. The breakfast is absolutely delicious and the breakfast area to eat in is like being in a French bistro we will be back! People We do not have a dog yet they make dog biscuits for people who bring their dogs, and that was such a special treat.
French bistro breakfast. Delicious croissants!

While the rooms are small, they are well appointed and fresh/clean. The croissants at breakfast are fantastic and the service is quick and friendly. Same with the aperitif hour from 5-6. Good location to walk to dinner and the Thursday farmers market (10 minutes) and to cal poly (20 minutes).

Best little gem!

This little gem in the heart of San Luis Obispo is not to be missed. The hotel is comfortable and clean, the service is excellent and, best of all, is dog friendly. They serve a homemade breakfast with homemade dog biscuits. My second time there was even better than the first. We’ll be back!

Excellent service! Adorable European feel with great breakfast. Parking can be tricky and try to be on the second floor or at least away from front patio or lounge outside cafe.

Petit Soleil is a gem!

Petit Soleil was a delightful place to stay for my college tours of Cal Poly SLO. The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious (smelling fresh-baked croissants when entering the breakfast room was a bonus!), and everyone working there was lovely! It was a 5-star stay for sure.

The positives: I loved the personal feel of this quaint little spot. The breakfast is delicious and included. The staff is friendly. Our issues were these: they charged us an extra $80 (!) per night because we had our two teens with us. I didn't even realize that when we made the reservation it was made for 2 people, but it was definitely made for 2 queen beds, obviously a room for 4 people. They told us they would charge us $40 extra per night and I was hesitant but said OK, then saw it was $40 per child, per night. We didn't see this until we got home and had the invoice emailed to us. Our heater didn't work and temps dropped to 30's overnight so we were pretty cold. We told them twice when we got there and they weren't able to fix it until the morning we left. Personally, they should have comped us the $80 fee for the fact that we were cold all night without a heater. The parking is a bit messy as they are doing construction on the building next door (to expand!)
