Top San Luis Obispo Wine Country Hotel Reviews

Quality Suites Downtown San Luis Obispo

10/10 Excellent

"hotel was really nice, this was the second time i stay here, we book again "

Spyglass Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Very lovely grounds, which connect to a paved path that winds along the strip of hotels along the cliff overlooking the beach and the vast Pacific. Dining options are a short drive away. Staff are very helpful. We didn’t try the pool and hot tub, but they appeared very inviting in better weather. The room was nicely appointed and the bed very comfortable. The only item less than 5 stars is the property condition, which is a bit dated, having been built in the 1970’s. The property overall doesn’t need work, but a room-by-room updating would be in order. For the room we stayed in, the electrical outlets could be moved to be adjacent to the furniture and eliminate the unsightly power cords. The sofa’s woodwork is a bit worn, and could be replaced with a more comfortable one (rolled arms rather than wood frame). Overall, though, a very nice experience and very good value. "

Flying Flags Avila Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday and instantly fell in love with this campsite—we didn't want to leave after just two days! The experience was incredibly peaceful and restorative, offering stunning views of the bay covered in gorgeous ocean fog, set to the sound of birds singing. The facilities were top-notch: the bathrooms and showers are clean, and we appreciated the free morning coffee. We highly recommend renting the propane gas fireplace for $35; it was absolutely worth it and cozy, though we regret not renting it the first night! A note for future visitors: it can get quite cold at night, so bring warm layers. We stayed in a solar-operated Jute, and while the power dipped temporarily, a generator is available. Despite the chill, this is a beautiful spot just minutes from town. We will absolutely be back!"
