The Wayfarer San Luis Obispo, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and cute. The staff were super helpful and kind. The gym was SO tiny! I realize many people will go outside to exercise, however, I was looking for a weight rack and there was not one. They had 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, and one peloton bike plus a yoga mat. That was it! Take a room and convert and get some weights. Other than the exercise room, everything else was nice."
