Such a beautiful, comfortable place! The front desk staff was so helpful and accommodating, especially TAMMY! She helped me work out an issue (of my own making) with such care—I commend the Apple Farm for employing her! We had a lovely 4 day stay! Good coffee and hot cider were always available—so handy for us! Thank you for a lovely time!

Mission Inn San Luis Obispo, hotel in San Luis Obispo

In an ideal spot for exploring the historical town of San Luis Obispo and the area’s many attractions, this pet-friendly hotel offers rooms equipped with free WiFi.

When I checked in to the property I was shocked to see that the carpet was torn, the curtains were off the rails and it was not cleaned properly. I mentioned this to the front desk and requested a discount or refund from them. I have not heard anything back since then. It was a busy weekend so I could not find other accommodation in the same price range.

Hampton Inn & Suites San Luis Obispo, hotel in San Luis Obispo

Only 4 miles to Cal Poly San Luis Obsipo, this 100% non-smoking hotel features free Wi-Fi and daily hot breakfast buffet. An indoor swimming pool and hot tub are available for guest relaxation.

Booking.com messed up a simple change to my reservation, through no fault of Hilton/Hamptom. So I was in a pickle. But… ERIN, the manager, and Jacob and Ray at the desk ALL came to my rescue. ERIN managed to untangle the Booking.com mess, and I ended up with a lovely room that was perfect for me and my friend. AND without any hard sell, she pointed out the advantage of being an Honors member. I'm now a happy member and will book directly from now on.

    From my experience, its gorgeous scenery BUT the transportation is antiquated, resulting in higher travel expenses because I had to Uber everywhere.... Rent a car or have alternative transportation set up if you do decide to visit SLO. Theres only two buses out there that run once an hour. And one bus on the weekends.

    Absolutely beautiful area.

    Absolutely beautiful area. Very charming downtown with a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Beaches a short drive away. Highly recommend SLO Provisions for breakfast. El Esquina for a delicious meal. Farmers Market on Thursday nights give a wonderful sense of local products, foods and services. Very easy to walk around downtown. Morro Bay is an easy 20 min away. A beautiful drive. Morro Bay is a charming beach filled with local surfers, people walking their dogs or just hanging out to soak in the waves and surrounding beauty.

    Close to downtown, shopping and restaurants to include the famous Madonna Inn. We were there to visit our student at CalPoly. Great amenities for our family. Always nice to have extra space in our room with the living room/dining area.

    Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes.

    Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes. Easy to get around. I loved how unique all the different buildings and houses were. Food was only decent, but not terrible. Good breweries, too! Very walkable. The highlight was going to the hot spring resort for their hour-use tubs.

    Beautiful place to visit.

    Beautiful place to visit. University town with a lovely walkable downtown. Lots of restaurants. Many people biking. Close to Pismo and Avila Beach, Morro Bay (and Rock) and the gorgeous central coast.Always love coming to SLO but it can be very pricey. This was a quick family visit so didn’t eat out much. Always find time for a latte at Scout coffee. If you are on a budget, check out hotel prices in advance prior to choosing dates. Inexpensive places jump to over $200 per night during certain weekends.

    We went for an early morning run up the convenient bike path into SLO. We had a great tour of the city on foot and visited the El Camino Real sites and the Mission. We ran back through the hills and had a great view of the surrounding areas. Worth returning to visit. High up on the historic trail.

    For what looks like a standard motel, this place has little touches that punch above its weight. Friendly staff, good breakfast including good coffee, cute outdoor seating areas (chairs on balcony outside breakfast room, Adirondack under a tree, might even be some by the creek), local newspapers. We were able to walk Downtown (maybe 15-20 minutes), though there are also some nice restaurants just down the block.
