Unprofessional
When I got to check the lady had to call someone to help me. The she than passed me the phone, man on the other end asked what I needed I explained to check in. He pass the phone back I did. She than had me write my name out. She had me keys an told me my room number. Next morning trying call from room phone an person to change payment method and no one would answer phone or lobby door. We have stayed here before but this time was so unprofessional. The last 2 times we had very nice upgraded this time room was missing all upgrades that prior rooms had. We love this location but after this stay it was probably our last.

Comfortable, clean and inexpensive.
This hotel was inexpensive, but it was clean, with easy access to the freeway. It was also quiet. Which was nice. It was only a 15 minute drive to the San Luis Obispo airport, which is why I stayed there. All the hotels in San Luis Obispo were way over priced. This one was perfectly comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and stay here again,
