It was a very good location. The rooms are well appointed. The property has been undergoing renovations and repairs since Howard Johnson took over.
This was a nice inexpensive spot to stay the night halfway through our trip. It looked a little…run down, but they had great coffee, comfortable beds, good shower, nice soaps and helpful staff. We would stay here again. We would stay here again. Front desk woman was great.
The hot water and water pressure are fantastic. The room I stayed in had no carpeting, which I consider a plus, as the floor felt clean as I walked barefoot. WiFi worked fast, the staff member was pleasant and helpful. A little parking lot noise. This is my second stay at this property - will return!
It is very clean. I recommend it to people with limited budget.

The room was clean, room furnishings not the best but working, there are no lamps in the room , room phone hand set not well connected to phone. Room coffee maker had a broken carafe. Pool was open and clean, quiet outside, Queen bed not very comfortable. AC working and kept room cooled
The staff were very nice and helpful. The rooms floors weren’t cleaned but other than that they were very clean; bedding was clean and the pool wasn’t clean, but also this is the coast so but overall it was an amazing stay! Amazing staff and an amazing experience.
Owner tries over charging fees that were already included. Will over charge on extended stays and will over charge for early check in. But everything else and other staff was good but this place will only get three stars from me for now.

Room was very clean nice bed, could have used some fruit for breakfast. Differently need window dressing some mini blinds or black out curtains. I had to put a blanket over the windows to block out the lights. Real big problem the people in the room next to us were up all night people coming and going doors being slammed all night women yelling to get in the room. I did tell the lady in office this morning. I was surprised she didn’t hear anything sense their room was right below she then mentioned she thought she heard noises but assumed it was from Taco Bell 1 block over. Anyway turns out he’s a frequent guest. Again the room and location were very clean nice bed.

Check in was easy and fast. The room was clean, but too much air freshener. The room had only two bath towels, one hand towel, and one wash cloth for two people. And only one coffee cup. Breakfast was supposed to be "grab and go", but was really non-existent.
Rooms were dirty. Stains all over the couch, bed linen, and towels. There was a hair tie left on the door knob with a handful of hair stuck to it. I was walking around in my socks inside the room and the bottom of my socks were black. Not clean whatsoever.

We stayed in a suite, which had one king bedroom and a bed as big asking in living room. kitchen had hot plate stove, fridge and microwave .Value for money, spacious room with more amenities u can expect for the pricing.
The guest room had great water pressure.. Unfortunately,tge shower head leaked.. Sprayed water outside the tub.
Cobwebs inside the guest room.
Guest room curtains were ripped hard to open and close.
Positive note.. Room had great insulation.. Didn't really hear outside noise.

Floor was sticky and we had to ask them to mop it while we went to dinner. Room small, Blankets and linens need replacing. Desk clerk was curteous. Good location for access to university and town. I wouldn't stay there again.

Close to downtown SLO, very close to freeway entrance, some restaurants close by. Parking is decent. Property is dated. We stayed in a 3 bedroom family suite that was a converted 2 bedroom apartment. Couch had two big holes in it. Hairdryer in bathroom did not work. Beds were okay.
