Perfect downtown SLO “hotel”
What a special place! Enjoyed my single night stay- had a claw foot tub and it was a nice way to end my evening- soaking in a hot bath! Bed was comfy, shades kept room dark till I wanted light. The best part was breakfast- delicious coffee/cream, delicious oj, coffee cake muffins, fruit + hot breakfast was skillfully prepared- a 2 egg tostada with spicy beans. It was a delightful dish I would not have ordered, but now will seek to make at home!

Beautiful and Convenient
This is a beautiful Inn downtown! The service was great and the breakfast was delicious. We loved that it was downtown so that we could walk to area restaurants and shops.

Not for Me
This aged property needs major upgrades, starting with new flooring (threadbare and stained carpeting in room) and bathrooms (a dangerous old tub with wide walls requiring Twister-like game skills to enter and exit safely). The absence of an elevator looms large when you arrive and realize the number of stairs involved total well over 20 from the street. There is no parking if not handicapped and the local public garage charges $36. The indifferent staff offers no help and few courtesies. Worse still, when I expressed to the morning person my disappointment that the high parking cost had not been disclosed up front, I received lip that I should’ve done more advance research on my own. All in all, I cannot recommend this Inn to anyone but those enamored of sort of upgraded old homes. Okay, more positively, it has an excellent location near to the downtown goings on, new and nice linens on the older bed, a very clean bathroom, and a welcoming parlor area.

There is no parking through the hotel. Parking at the public ramp is $39 a day which needs to be upfront when booking.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My stay was wonderful. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was delicious and staff was nice. Plenty of dinning options within walking distance for lunch and dinner. To my delight, a couple of record stores were also nearby. SLO Amtrak station was proximal enough to walk to/from. Didn’t make use of the terrace due to rare inclement weather but that didn’t bother me. Will definitely stay again the next time I’m in SLO.
