first of all when we went online, we were looking for a hotel, when we got there it was a bed-and-breakfast, it was a Tuesday and yet we could not check into our room till 4 o’clock because our front desk person just felt like pulling a power trip, we decided not to stay there when we found out we couldn’t even park our car on ground grounds. I have a brand new vehicle. I was not going to put it in a public lot a few blocks away, this place sucks.

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. The location was good. There is no parking available so I had to pay to park in a public garage ($16.00 for overnight) or find street parking in the residential area a few blocks away.

Their breakfasts were honestly the highlight of my stay in SLO. It represented the area very well, being wholesome and worldly. Fantastic job!
Enjoying breakfast by the fireplace, reading a book on Met Operas. Menu was: poached eggs on a bed of hummus and arugula, freshly-squeezed orange juice, puff pastries of strawberry with cream cheese; lots of fresh cutup fruit

Room was clean, but toilet chain kept coming off and water leaked out from shower. Breakfast was good. It would have been nice if they had hot water and coffee earlier than 8 am. The inn was in an awesome location and the downstairs sitting room was nice.

This inn was so perfect for what I needed! I needed a lovely/ comfortable/ cozy inn for a couple of nights in a good, safe and walkable location. It was wonderful! Staff was so welcoming and accommodating, the room was cozy and clean, and the claw foot bathtub was divine! If I am in SLO again, I will 100% stay here!
