Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent location, often mentioning its proximity to restaurants, shopping, and major routes. Many appreciated the friendly and professional service from the staff. However, there were repeated complaints about the pool being closed and misrepresented in advertisements, which disappointed several guests. Cleanliness received mixed feedback, with some rooms noted as clean and tidy, while others had issues like bad smells, dirty floors, or outdated facilities. Bed comfort and room size were generally acceptable, but a few guests found the beds uncomfortable or the rooms in need of maintenance. Overall, the location and service stood out as highlights, while the closed pool and occasional cleanliness issues were common drawbacks.

charles, Jul 2021
Pool was a good size and clean. Room was very spacious and clean. All basics are covered. Parking was easy. Window coverings do not do a great job keeping parking lights out of the room at night. Walls and ceilings are thin and noise can be an issue. The people around you will have an influence on your sleep.

Anonymous, Apr 2018
Pros (+) Takes dogs, lots of parking, refrigerator & microwave. overall fine for the price and was close to SLO, Pismo, Morro Bay, Ralphs, and Starbucks.
Cons (-) Could be cleaner, the sheets did not fit [as other reviewer stated], Wish front staff was friendlier, she did not seem happy we were there. Room facilities a bit old, bathroom door knob came off & the front desk offered to change our rooms right away, so that was nice. Would like a coffee maker instead of 'continental breakfast'.

Pros (+) This was the 3rd year in a row we stayed for the annual marathon. Deena let us check in early as the room was ready, and let us check out late when the marathon went longer then were expected. My wife really wanted to shower before we drove home. I'm truly grateful for the staff here as they are kind and understanding. It's an older hotel, but location and staff make up for that!
