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.

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
