Top Performing Arts Center Hotel Reviews

The Wayfarer San Luis Obispo, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"So clean"

Mission Inn San Luis Obispo

8/10 Good

"T"

Apple Farm

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for a business trip. Thought I found a really good deal when compared to other hotels in the area. The day before my stay I received a message about the difference in their “deluxe rooms” and their Trellis Court, aka “economy rooms”. Honestly the room was fine, even had a nice private patio which I wasn’t expecting. Just thought it was interesting that they sent the info on the room differences right before checking in. Everyone gets a cookie, cider/coffee/tea. Trellis is a noisier location (closer to road and freeway), but if you’re just there to sleep, it’s totally fine. Pool and hot tub are on the smaller size, pictures are a little misleading, but that’s not uncommon! Location works to walk into downtown too, about 15 minutes."

University Inn

8/10 Good

"The managers, a husband-wife team, were excellent--very helpful. The building itself, however, needs some renovation. Staff was excellent. Also, excellent coffee provided by the managers, however the continental breakfast could be improved by offering bakery-quality pastries."

"The stay was amazing! The girl checking us in seemed bothered that we were there. Other than that, we had a great time. The room was beautiful, and the staff did a great job keeping it tidy and clean. Will come back"
