Good value. Nice clean rooms

Room was clean. Shower was good. Beds were comfortable. The only thing that happened is when I tried reheating something in the microwave it blew a fuse, I guess and we lost electricity in the room for the rest of the night. No big deal because we were tired anyway and went to sleep

The hotel is economical. The room was small and recently remodeled. It was very tidy. The bathroom sink was nice with a large counter for putting your things. It served the purpose of a nice place to stay the night on a quick visit to SLO.
