Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was simi clean had defered maintenance on a few things ac/heater knobs missing could not adjust the room temperature. Closet doors broken, toilet was loses from the floor and the shower needs to be cleaned better. But the place was quiet that might be due to no front desk staff to be found anywhere after check in.

The place looks better on the outside than the inside. Do not be fooled! It was like stepping into a room not updated since 1980! The carpet was stained, the TV/wifi didn’t work well, the shower didn’t drain well, and overall the room just felt icky. I would never stay here again!

DON

Stayed for 1 night for graduation at SLO. Other than the price gouging for the event weekend, we found the room very nice, and the check-in staff friendly. Pillows are worthless though, and there is a lot of loud door slamming at all hours. Sheets and bathroom were acceptable, and the refrigerator worked fine.

Our room was very clean and totally acceptable and the bed comfortable. I’d have rated both cleanliness and overall experience higher if only the very dirty carpeting in the hallways weren’t in such dire need of replacement. A short, walk to downtown and lots of eating establishments. Nice, helpful college kid at the front desk and a rather cool small aquarium in the lobby.
