Avenue Inn Downtown San Luis Obispo
4.1/5100 Reviews

Avenue Inn Downtown San Luis Obispo

San Luis Obispo|0.32km from San Luis Obispo
Every Thursday, there is FAMER MARKET, but unfortunately we bought and bought and did not catch up. Seeing the mess on the road, it must be very lively, so sorry. The location is very good, you can go to FM. But what do you say about the facilities of this hotel, in fact, it is to open a room for young Californian workers, haha! The standard room is our five-foot bed. The family is a little small and the photos look slightly larger. Family trips, recommended twin beds, don't blindly believe in the old KING SIZE, not all hotels.
Madonna Inn

Madonna Inn

San Luis Obispo|0.72km from San Luis Obispo
I’ve always wanted to stay at Madonna based on photos and reviews that I’ve seen online, but wasn’t sure if it would live up to the hype in person. It absolutely does! The rooms, restaurants, shops, and spa are all amazing. My best friend and I never left the hotel during our trip to SLO because we were too busy enjoying it and were already talking about going back to try a different room theme on our drive home. Get a massage if you can, eat the champagne cake, and make sure to bring home the perfect tchotchke!
Garden Street Inn Downtown San Luis Obispo, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

Garden Street Inn Downtown San Luis Obispo, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

San Luis Obispo|0.94km from San Luis Obispo
We picked this place on the road and didn't know a thing about it. It looked so quaint from the outside that it peaked my curiosity. It was wonderful! Very old fashioned with a claw foot tub in the bathroom an old safe as an end table. The staff is pleasant an keeps the place clean. Breakfast was simple fare of fruit, pastries, juice and coffee. You could also have what they called a breakfast pizza but we don't eat much so we opted out. You will truly enjoy your stay here.

Best Western Plus Royal Oak Hotel

San Luis Obispo|1.26km from San Luis Obispo
This hotel lived on the way back to LA on the first road, originally thought it was a little better than the motel, but when I arrived, I felt that it was much better than the Best in San Francisco a few days ago. First of all, the room was much larger, and the breakfast was better than that. Rich and cost-effective!

Downtown Slo Inn - San Luis Obispo

San Luis Obispo|1.56km from San Luis Obispo
Hello everyone, I just want to write about a horrible experience I had last night. I booked a room through Snap Travel at the downtown SLO Inn. Shortly after settling in my room I noticed that the place was being used as a homeless shelter. When a homeless person started bothering by approaching my door and asking me for money, I decided I was gonna cancel my stay and ask for my money back. The owner flat out refused. I had told him I did not want to stay at a place being used as a shelter. At that point he came outside and started yelling profanities at me. He then began inciting the tenants by telling them that I was talking bad about the tenants. I then was surrounded by several aggressive tenants while the owner continued to incite them. At that point he had my key and was refusing to give it back so I can get my stuff and leave. He refused while using profanities and threatening to use a bat on me. I finally was able to escape the mob and another tenant loaned me his phone so I could call the police. During the scuffle my hand was broken. I ended up going to the ER. I contacted he mayor about the incident. The ironic thing was that the owner was mocking me for actually being a tourist. Apparently the city or state that pays him to house the homeless pays a lot more than tourists do

The Wayfarer San Luis Obispo, Tapestry by Hilton

4.3/5101 Reviews
Although they were kind at the front desk, we had a lackluster experience at this hotel. When entering our hotel hallway, there was a strong smell… it almost smelled like a skunk. The room just didn’t feel clean—although they had hip images on the wall the property and bathroom felt dated and it was a depressing view outside our window to the parking lot. My expectations were high given the room rate! When I had originally booked this hotel we were paying $550 a night (via the hotel’s website for a one night Saturday night stay). Closer to the date I checked again and managed to get our rate at $370 a night (I cancelled our original reservation). This was still far too much given the lovely property we stayed near Yosemite and in Santa Monica that were just a bit more than this one. I’m just relieved it was a short overnight stay here.

The room is large, the bedding is comfortable, clean and hygienic, and you can cook and eat. The most convenient thing is that there is a laundry room, you can wash your own clothes, and there is a large dryer.
