Thankfully the staff was courteous and made my stay bearable however, the beds were hard, lumpy in some area of a queen size mattress. So uncomfortable I had to extend my stay in San Luis Obispo and deliberately chose to stay elsewhere. Again, it was nice interaction with the staff, professional and courteous thank you.

We had a pleasant stay while in San Luis Obispo. Clean rooms, nice location, the employees were friendly. I thought it would have been nice to have a coffee machine in the room like most hotels and motels, but other than that we were quite satisfied and would stay there again.
